Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The liberal delusions that provoked putin

60. Not too may leaders are ousted by "coups" when they control the military and security forces and

are opposed by a bunch of protesters whose claim to fame was the ability to control one tiny part of a large city. I realize that calling it a 'coup' provides legitimacy for things done in response but calling it a "coup" does not make it so.

You would have to believe that Yanukich cooperated with those who were intent on ousting him. Otherwise, no leader would have left with the array of forces he had behind him facing such paltry opposition. Perhaps it is no wonder that Putin has such a distaste for him.

It sounds like you want US involvement in the UN, IMF, World Bank and the WTO (among others) to end. You have good company with the right wing of the republican party which stretches all the way to the John Birch Society. Perhaps you support the concept of these international organizations (unlike those on the far right) but not their current leadership and policies?
