coup: "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government"
Would be cool if that actually happened. The President signed a deal with the opposition then left the country. His parliament then voted to impeach him. How is that a coup?
- jqm 12y agosudden? check. violence? check. illegal? look at the number required vs those who voted to remove from office. I'm not saying the guy wasn't corrupt. But, look at some of those who are running the show now. They aren't a whole lot better. Avakov, the cheerleader for immediate violent action against the eastern insurgants for instance.
- us0r 12y agoThey had 328 votes and needed 337. However it is a bit of a grey area as the constitution doesn't really cover the President abandoning his Country. This all began in October I believe. Is 4 months sudden? All of the violence was provoked from the government (him). The opposition definitely took advantage of it and are not entirely innocent in all of this. Corruption has always been a problem in Ukraine will be for the foreseeable future. This guy took it to another level.
- jqm 12y agothe statement "all of the violence was provoked from the government (him)" is not necessarily true at all.... just to get that out there.
