You use a Death Star to reach that level of projection? It's an undisputed fact that the U.S. bragged about spending billions to give Ukraine "the future it deserves" in front of freaking banners for oil companies. It's an undisputed fact that the pro-west faction in Ukraine's parliament fell short of the number of votes needed to legally impeach the previous president, and so resorted to a violent coup less than six months before the next set of elections.
Regardless of how you feel about the protests, there were free, fair, credible, and widely recognized elections after those events. Fail.
Other than the pro-east section of the electorate being cut out, and the billion in aid immediately sent by Congress to support the junta, you mean.
The current government of Ukraine is 100% legit by any standard.
100% imperialistic neocon horseshit, by any standard. How you American Exceptionalists managed to go through the Iraq war and emerge with worse bullshit detectors than before is bizarre.
