> ...I stick to the facts, whether you like it or not One needs also understand the facts, not just cite them. All of the names you cited, Lukash, Lebedev, Ilyin were appointed by Yanukovich and indeed were working for his government. That is Ilyin was attempting to deploy military units against the civilian protesters already being suppressed by AK-47 armed police forces. No, the military did not try to stage a coup. It was russia-serving Yanukovich that was using every unlawful measures to stay in power, including the attempt to deploy the military units to suppress the Maidan civilian protesters. As for the foreign interference, cherry-picking the references can't hide the outcome, as the Crimea and Donbas region were directly invaded by russian military and paramilitary units, following up with illegal annexation declaration.

Against the _armed_ nationalists who have seized weapons A coup remains a coup > No, the military did not try to stage a coup I never mentioned "staging a coup", further evidence that you are the one cherry-picking a narrative, this is revisionism > as the Crimea and Donbas region were directly invaded by russian military and paramilitary units What happened in that region prior to that doesn't matter now? How convenient for your narrative :)

  Against the _armed_ nationalists who have seized weapons People who were massacred were armed with Molotovs at best, there's actual video footage. Wish they had at least semi-auto weapons, this whole situation is a great argument for broad civilian gun ownership. I never mentioned "staging a coup", further evidence that you are the one cherry-picking a narrative, this is revisionism You have no idea what coup d'état means, do you? What happened in that region prior to that doesn't matter now? Nothing really happened there prior to that.
