(62,325 posts)YOUR position I'm afraid, is based on 'hearsay'. You appear to be defending a coup in a democracy. That is not a strong position to take while otoh, claiming to support Democracy.
I pointed out, and I believe if a similar situation occurred here, this would be a very strong position to take, as we Democrats would, that any government resulting from that Coup, is no longer elected. That appears to be the view of what is seeming to be a huge number of people in Ukraine and is perfectly understandable to anyone living in any Democracy. IF those pre-Coup elected officials are complicit in some of the actions of that unelected government, such as sending out the military to 'crush' and kill as has now happened, their own people, just imagine a similar situation HERE.
I want to know why Blackwater is in Ukraine. We KNOW that wherever they show up, people DIE. So perhaps you have more information on that subject, as I'm sure it is going to raise enormous questions over the next few months.
