(62,325 posts)it is the result of an election'. Now you say 'there is nothing illegitimate about a revolutionary government'. If it was elected as you claim, then it is NOT a 'revolutionary government'. It is a democratically elected government, no?
But if you are now claiming it is NOT that legitimate, non-revolutionary elected government you first claimed, but a Revolutionary Govt, then we are in agreement.
So which is it, what I claim it to be, unelected, part of the coup. Or as you first claimed, elected, not part of any illegitimate coup?
Now you seem to oppose 'crushing dissent by force', and yet you don't. ONLY when it suits you. I object to ANY Govt crushing dissent by force, but that is what you are now supporting. And with the MILITARY!
You are all over the place I'm sorry to say.
But regardless of all of this, why is the US involved in this? I was told a while ago that we were NOT. Now the same people are DEFENDING our 'right' to be there. I see zero reason for our involvement in Europe's affairs. We have our own very much unattended affairs right here and we are all over the world minding everyone else's business, and making things WORSE for most of them, see Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia eg ... maybe we should leave these things to people with a record of IMPROVING things where they choose to intervene.
