(84,711 posts)(whichever the term our State Department uses for those who don't follow laws and overthrow their governments these days) not following the laws of how the UkrainianGovernment was organized?
If "Occupy Wall Street" had managed to take over the NYC Mayor's Mansion demanding that Bloomberg change the governance of NYCity, and fire Police Commissioner Ray Kelly there would have been another name attached to them...probably "Anti-Government Activists, Anti-Government Insurgents, Mob-Like Militant Groups, etc.
Think of what might have happened. If they had succeeded but (with Bloomberg and Kelly getting spirited out of town) and taken over the NYC Council installing some of their own in a shake up...would Cuomo have recognized the NYC Governing Council as Legitimate? What would Obama have done?
