It's amazing that there are people out there who actually believe that a nation's Chief Executive deciding that a mediocre trade deal isn't in his nation's long-term best interests - particularly when it comes with the added provision that they drop their largest trading pratner - would cause the average citizen of said nation so much anger so as to support a violent coup.
I suspect some of you are old enough to have sort of known what was going on about the time NAFTA was enacted... Or, perhaps, the granting of most-favored-nation trade status to China; each of those were bigger net negatives for these United States than the mediocre EU-Ukraine trade deal we're told was the reason Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014, and yet I don't personally recall anyone being so bent out of shape over them that they ever suggested doing violence to force Bill Clinton from office - or, for that matter, believing such a thing would even be possible along the same lines as the Western-backed coup that resulted in Elbonia's current illegitimate government.
And yet there are some people commenting here who want you to believe that it was all a grass-roots effort by ordinariy Ukroswine because the hope and dream of being an EU province was their sole reason for existing.
