So as an American , I can't complain about another country's policies or actions because of some shit that happened before I could vote or before I was born ? Should my kids who won't be able to vote for another 10 years also keep their mouths shut about Russian invasions ?

So Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and the 2014 Obama/CIA coup in Ukraine all happened *before* you were born? Wow, that explains a lot.

Or could vote , Most of that happened before I started voting . What about a younger person that has never had the chance to vote ? Are they not allow to have an opinion about anything ? I also don't agree with your assessment of 2014 , to call it a coup is fucking stupid , so there is that also .

Yeah I voted Bush out. Anti war Biden was his vice president. Biden later ended the war in Afghanistan as we recall. It’s a shame Trump was so pro war.

Agreed, best political satire in decades. Nothing close nowadays, as the material writes itself in the MSM.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Ya chop, Western propaganda has taught us not to call it a coup. Call it an unconstitutional seizure of power, or... what description do you prefer Psyilynut2?

Nobody seized power. The president of Ukraine abandoned the country and the parliament had to pick a new one. I’ve never heard of a coup where someone didn’t take control.

Were any elected officials running the govt killed , harmed , imprisoned or held against their will ? Did they do away with the constitution , stop having elections and fundamentally change all of the rules and laws ? If not , why the fuck would I call it a coup ?

Yes, they ignored the constitution, which required a 3/4 vote for impeachment, or 338 out of 450, of which they could only get 328. But fortunately, the US state department stepped in and said that was good enough to recognize the unconstitutional government.
Any more questions?
I like to educate people, while koods tries to keep you stupid.

The writing was on the wall and luckily Americans still know how to read. I would not call that uneducated. You trying to paint over it after the fact will not change what it said. Move on. Ukraine president did, to russia. There was an election in 2019 and Ukraine elected a current leader.

We stepped in and told them to ignore their constitution ? Source or motherfucking make believe ?
Quote:
In the afternoon, the Rada voted 328–0 (about 73% of its 447 members) to remove Yanukovych from his post and to schedule an early presidential election for 25 May.[204][205][206] The resolution stated that Yanukovych had withdrawn from fulfilling his constitutional duties, "which threatens the governance of the state, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine", and cited "circumstances of extreme urgency".[204] The resolution to remove Yanukovych was supported by all opposition parties: 86 deputies of Batkivshchyna (Fatherland Party), 41 deputies of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR), 36 deputies of Svoboda (Freedom Party), 30 deputies of the Communist Party, as well as 99 independents. Furthermore, 36 deputies of Yanukovych's Party of Regions voted for his removal. There were no votes against. Of the remaining deputies, 115 were absent and 6 did not vote.[207] Under the 2004 constitution, parliament chairman Turchynov became acting President.[20
Sounds pretty constitutional ... to me . They also issued a warrant for Yanukovych for mass killing of civilians . Maybe that's why he left . He must of known that was going to happen .

Did we challenge the new government as being unconstitutional, or did we support it?

No. 328 is not 338, as required by Ukraine's constitution.
Yanukovych made a televised statement BEFORE the vote saying he would not resign, and he continued to say he was President for about a month after the coup, negating Koods statement that he "abandoned the country".

He should have come home from his trip. That's like when a deadbeat dad goes around the corner for a pack of smokes and never comes back.
Also, earlier in the thread you said he fled for his life and now you're saying it was a business trip.
Which was it?
