Dunno if you are trolling, but that's impossible. You can't just overthrow the government if people don't want it. And supporting the revolution is absolutely normal, even China does it in Myanma.
- peoplewindow 9y agoHe's exaggerating for effect. Providing military, political and financial support to a coup is in the same general area.
- Mikeb85 9y agoNo, US NGOs, the CIA, and western governments had nothing to do with it... The Canadian government actually admitted to involvement in Maidan and providing support to "protestors". Also, if they were wanted by a majority of the people, that's why pro-Russian governments were back in power soon after, right? The Orange Revolution government barely lasted a couple years before imploding, and the Maidan government is going the same direction. Even Mikheil Saakashvili can't work with Poroshenko, you'd think 2 CIA stooges would get along but apparently not.

- Mikeb85 9y agoHe didn't break his promise, Merkel gave him the impossible scenario of having to break economic ties with Russia, which accounts for 30% of Ukraine's trade, in return for integration and no firm guarantees of any economic boost. How's Poroshenko doing these days anyhow?
