I keep circling around to this point, which all in all isn't really a big point anyway in a long stream of US influence in Ukraine- but by lib friends keep calling it the revolution of dignity... Dignity of fascists coming to power?? Can anyone point me to a good write up of US influence in Ukraine and Maidan?

    line between coup and uprising is somewhat thin but i'm of the belief coups involve internal government forces instead of outside?

    this probably isnt correct but i wouldnt characterise it as a coup, revolt that got co-opted by the right and Yanquis :shrug-outta-hecks:
