If Yanukovych had signed the 'Association Agreement' with the EU as he was mandated to do, there would have been no uprising. End of. Why would the US want to sabotage a deal which binds Ukraine closer to Western Europe and loosens its ties to Russia? And how did the US 'persuade' Yanukovych to change tack? What we'd like you to do Viktor my old mucker, is to disregard the EU Association Agreement and align Ukraine with Russia. This will result in street protests and general mayhem in the country. What's in it for the US? Err ... let us worry about that. What's in it for you personally? Oh, the loss of your Presidency and exile in Russia. Yeah, that plan's a real goer. Of course, US officials discussed what might happen after the Maidan uprising and, no doubt, that included discussing their preferred candidates for President, but that does not prove anything and certainly not that the Maidan uprising was a US orchestrated coup. The phone call in question proves nothing as the timeline doesn't fit. The call took place happened in January 2014; the uprising started in November 2013. What we've established without a shadow of doubt is that the ability to think rationally is not your strong suit. Maybe try and think things through before committing finger to keyboard in future. That way you might avoid making yourself look like a complete prick.
