You Say: (bolding is mine)
"Over the past couple of weeks, a fair handful of people here have insisted that the recent regime change in Ukraine was in fact a "coup."
snip--
"While these indeed provide sufficient fodder for the conspiracy minded crowd, none of them--and I mean none of them--thus far actually show that what happened in February 2014 when Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovych fled the country and was replaced by an interim government until elections could be held later this month was actually a "coup" under the proper definition of the word."
You then further insult with adding:
"So if I'm wrong, show me I'm wrong with real evidence from a reputable source (please, no Alex Jones type stuff). I'm waiting. "

I'm sorry Tommy...there's no chance of you seeing the other side or another side of this when you resort to insulting those you want to "Prove" something to you. Why should anyone bother more that they already have in explaining the information they have that they trust and you are dug into your own point of view arguing over "Coup or Junta, Putsch" or "Take Over by Opposition Militants" Whichever term one uses the Government of Ukraine was Overtaken and the Elected Official, Yanukovych was deposed (having to flee for his life) and Parliament lost members (who also fled) as others were installed by an "Unelected Take Over Mob."
So....that's what it is. It's not the terminology of what happened to the Ukrainian Government ...but the results of the actions of those who overthrew the Government. Who was behind those who took part in the overthrow and take over is the ongoing question and what is more important to discuss.
