Wanted: Proof that what happened in Ukraine actually constituted a "western sponsored coup."

92. Wow....put words into my mouth will ya?

I did not say the majority of Ukrainians supported Yanu...I said

"...not all coup's are bad. But in my view, this is a bad coup. A significant portion of the populations wishes are being ignored, period. These are the people who elected Yanukoyavich in the first place. This isn't a case where the vast majority of the nation wanted the guy gone. This is a nation divided and some here are advocating forcible compliance of the dissenting populace. "

If your going to misquote me and project..try harder next time.

And your posts defeats itself. So a little interference is ok so long its the US?

And you miss the obvious. How is it Russia was capable and ready so fast for this? Remember Georgia? Russia obviously knew what was about to go down. They obviously knew what was about to go down in Ukraine.

As for this....it really made me laugh....

"Whatever interests the US has taken in Ukraine for whatever the reasons they may be, they are not even remotely close to what Russia has done, which is to actually seize land belonging to Ukraine and call it for their own. There simply is no comparison between the two. "

Yes...making a client state out of Ukraine (like they did Iraq) and giving them Greek style austerity there by sentencing them and a couple of generations to poverty while the oligarchs and US "interests" rape their valuable natural resources in IMF payments is so much better than taking a peninsula they only got 60 years ago as a "gift" from Krushev.

If you are trying to make a case for the Ukrainian people....your doing a piss poor job. You should be concerned about US interests just as much as Russia's interest. And if your only concern is about Crimea.....when the spectre of worse economic consequences is possible....your intentions are very suspect.
