Say that to all the children who won’t grow up if NATO continues its petty and childish ways.
A million outraged citizens is not a coup. What happened was a popular revolution triggered by Yanukovich's treachery.
Well, actually there WAS an attempt at a coup in 2014. One Oleg Bahtiyarov, member of Russian organization called the Eurasian Youth Union, was found by Ukrainian security to have gathered and paid some 200 men to use Molotov cocktails and hand weapons to storm the Verkhovna Rada and Cabinet of Ministers buildings, aiming to disrupt the upcoming election. Bahtiyarov was arrested on 31 March, and the plan fell apart, thankfully. That would have been a coup.
Now you are contradicting yourself while arguing semantics.
And as long as Russia's influencers keep repeating this "coup" fable I'm going to keep correcting the record.
It wasn’t Russia that went to Mexico, fomented a revolution, installed a government hostile to the US and trained and funded a 600,000 man army. But we did that in Ukraine.
Excellent reply, it needed to be said!

How does that excuse you rooting for a nuclear war?
I’m not rooting for one. Just expecting one given that Neocons still seem to be running our foreign policy.
Because instead of continuing toward accession to the EU as the citizens had been told, he suddenly turned a 180 and was going to sign up with Putin's klept. By the next scheduled election Ukraine would have been back in the bear's clutches.
You posting the same dim bulb sheeet that you did three years ago.
Clown!
Yopu really, really, REALLY need to get the facts straight.
"We" did not "go into Ukraine", Ukraine came to "us", if you mean asking to join the EU. Or NATO, although that's a red herring dragged out by Putin.
"We" did not "foment a revolution", except by being an example of freedom and prosperity that Ukrainians expected to join until Yanukovich betrayed them.
"We" did not "install a hostile government". After Yanukovich's departure, a free and fair election was run on May 25th, and Poroshenko won. No prize, he being no less corrupt than Yanukovich, but he didn't sell out the country to Putin, so I guess that makes him "hostile" from Kazan's viewpoint.
By then the Russian invasion of Crimea and the Donbas was in full swing, so of course we provided assistance. (Most of it wasn't military.)
Um...so the coup in Crimea is illegal and should be reversed.
Ditto the Donbas?
Reminder: Nobody perp-walked Yanukovich out of the President’s office. He was facing a LEGAL removal (impeachment) by the Verkhovna Rada when he RESIGNED and fled to Moscow, reportedly on Putin’s orders.

Weren’t you told to give your incendiary behavior a rest? Shouting names at people is counterproductive. Grow up.
Great job taking on these Commie Sympathizers.
Are you terrified of this missile?
I am not.
Bear is a pathetic and likes to fart loudly.
Do you every hear of people ‘migrating’ to Russia?
Nope they want to get out.
Moscow to cooperate with Yemen terrorists because?
They are certainly propping up IRAN and that terrifies me.
Maybe we need to counter with a Freeper Commie Ping List ?
They really seem to have some people duped here.
Yes, do that. List the FReepers you are accusing of being commies
