How is it a "coup" when the duly elected Parliament votes overwhelmingly to remove their President? Would it be a coup in our country if 78% of the Senate voted to remove the President as part of an impeachment? The answer is no, that would be doing exactly what the constitution allows.
After Yanukovych lost support of their Parliament and left office a new election was held.
Wrong. Even left-wingers were against the coup, as are conservatives:
Salon, 2/2/22: “...The most critical events that have been airbrushed out of the West’s political narrative are the violation of agreements made by Western leaders at the end of the Cold War not to expand NATO into Eastern Europe, and the U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine in February 2014... in which an armed mob led by the neo-Nazi Right Sector militia stormed the Ukrainian parliament, forcing elected President Viktor Yanukovych and members of his party to flee for their lives. ...”
Coups help lead to where we are now.
“How is it a “coup” when the duly elected Parliament votes overwhelmingly to remove their President?”
Bullcrap. The leader was chased out at gunpoint from the Right Sector mob that gave him a 10am deadline to leave or face armed assault. The next Parliament was literally under right sector gunpoint with right sector guys in the room. And we dumped 2 billion on that mob that Nuland funded and steered.
All that vote did was rubber stamp what the coup did.
