I wasn't trying to minimise it. However you can't make out it was an all in protest. It was heavily supported. However it was divisive. Much the liel.land reforms zelensky snook through parliament in 2020. And as it turned violent it wasn't democratic. It led to the led of a democraticly elected president. Coup probably is the wrong word. But it wasn't democratic. As for.meddling. was our bailout from IMF meddling?

Yes, it would be meddling. But it’s worth looking at the stings attached to the Russian bailout, which included using it as a carrot and a stick to beat Yanukovic with in 2014. This included a threat to withhold the second tranche of the payment if he didn’t crackdown on protestors. Equally, Yanukovic was threatened over the second tranche when it seemed he was willing to make concessions to the opposition in early 2014. In this case, Russia was preventing the potential peaceful resolution of the unrest by threatening the Ukrainian economy. This returns to the point of how Russian meddling was infinitely more influential in the events of 2013, the ongoing unrest, and ultimately the invasions.

I don’t accept that what you call ‘meddling’ was meddling, nor do I believe any actions taken by the US had any impact on where we are today. Russian fingerprints are all over it. So in short, there should be a free pass given to the US on this one. It’s on Russia’s shoulders? Why didn’t they allow Yanukovic work with the opposition in February 2014, a point at which this could all have been avoided.

I've shared a myriad of links. Victoria nuland is photographed at the euromaiden protests as just one example. Do you think she was there to support Russian interests?

A best negligible impact. Nuland at a protest is a world for difference to Medvedev threatening the Ukrainian economy if they don’t respond to the Maidan protests, on their terms. How much of an impact do you think it had?

Negligible to none. I assume you’re talking about the CIA intelligence that we have discussed at length? How much of an impact do you think it had? “Political Bargaining”. That’s political bullying by Russia, who have done more than enough of it over the past decade. “Do things our way, or we’ll bankrupt you.”
