In reply to the discussion: Ukraine Slides Deeper Toward War as Russia Warns on Vote [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(44,035 posts)45. It was a pretty open-ended question. How and why did Yanukovych leave Ukraine in February 2014?
You responded/evaded with pure snark, but you're the one pushing the conspiracy theory. (And I mean that in a most literal manner: You are alleging members of the US government conspired with individuals in Ukraine to overthrow Yanukovych in a real and actual coup d'état.) It's your burden to prove that, not mine.
But you know what? Because apparently seeing your post rise to the top of the page for about 5 seconds gives your life so much meaning, I'll humor you. I can ask you the same question on your post, and you can choose to avoid the question and throw out red herrings and non-sequiturs and strawmen. Or you can actually answer what is a pretty simple and straight forward question. Your choice.
I'll see you on the other side.

That's not the New Russia we're talking about here. Putin wasn't talking about it either.

That's the Putin quote. Just the proper context of "Novorossiya"/"New Russia" here.
