      I get what you’re saying, but to clarify I was speaking of the 2014 Maidan Coup where the US installed a far-right puppet government.

        And your evidence for the US installing this government is what exactly?

        Let me say this as a westerner - if someone all of a sudden tried to put me in a Putinist puppet state, shit would burn. To the ground.

        Sure, and Russia had their right-wing coup in 1991, and America is currently doing a self-coup.

          Self-coup would suggest someone is in control and actually wants what’s happening. That’d be nice.

          The US was taken over in a coup when Kennedy was assassinated. We’ve been ruled by the CIA & Mossad ever since.

            Eh, while they’re part of maintaining the status quo, we’re ruled by capital, and that was true before Kennedy too.
