    Never claimed to be well informed…

    A quick search says that the Minsk agreement was never signed by anyone with the authority to do so. The “Maiden Coup” or “Maiden Revolution” can be framed any way you want, but I guess I would prefer to error on the side of democracy. People clearly wanted to work closer with the EU and Yanukovych was only gonna do what russia wanted. So once again, progressives supporting democracy is not a contradiction.

      Ousting a democratically elected leader is the opposite of supporting democracy

        A lot of far-right leaders were democratically elected, what now? Should we just sit back and “let them finish their jobs”?

      If you’re not well informed, you’re not in a position to accuse anyone else of spreading propaganda about it.

      And look at that, reliably pushing the nafo script anyway.

        You don’t have to be well informed of every little detail to recognize Russian talking points. Yours is way too obvious. And I guess Wikipedia is “nafo script” whatever that is…
