Right, because the US told Yanukovych to brutalize his people, and also told the people to revolt and the supreme court to remove him from office, so he could flee to Russia. Not saying the West didn't see this as an opportunity to strengthen economic ties, but it was not a bear and stick moment. Why do you insist that only the West is at fault? Culpability is shared
Why would he tell people to “revolt” when he was the president of the country? That doesn’t even make sense. Who did he “brutalize,” specifically? It was the coup snipers who shot people in Maidan from rooftops. It was a false flag attack.

I'm not going to get into a citation contest with you, that would be a train to nowhere. My final point still stands.
"I don't have facts so I'm just going to stick to my unfunded opinion in line with what my western regime told me what happened." That shit don't work with ML people.
Always know what they're talking about, and can back it up.
