> EUROMAIDAN was a Western intelligence op

[Citation severely needed]






Look into contemporary funding and actions by USAID, National Endowment for Democracy, many NGOs and media organisations. It's pretty blatant and now starting to be documented by our own media:

So, no citation. Got it.

You want some kind of press release where the US state department announced it as a “coup”?

Are you even slightly familiar with US foreign policy in the world? Do you know about what happened in Kosovo/Yugoslavia? Or the Middle East, South America history? Do you know the typical function of US foreign policy arm is to orchestrate regime change?

You really are a special kind of midwit if you can’t see that by now.


Yikes—please don't break the site guidelines like this (and again at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43213814). We have to ban accounts that do that.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

From a quick (and shallow) skim of the thread, I gather that you're representing a minority viewpoint—inevitably so, because this forum is majority Western and naturally reflects the Western point of view. When commenters find themselves in a minority/contrarian position on the internet, they often resort to name-calling and other barbs. It's understandable as a response to pressure, but it's not ok to do that here. We can't apply the rules differently depending on such factors.

At the same time, it's in HN's interest to have contrarian views represented, as long as people do it while respecting the site guidelines. So when I run across an example like this, I often try to make this argument in the hope of persuading the person in your position! It doesn't usually work, but one can hope.

It's also in your own interests to follow the rules, because when you break them, you discredit whatever truth you may be arguing for. That doesn't help you or anyone else, and majorities are always looking for an easy excuse to dismiss minorities. (I'm not talking about the current topic here; I believe all majorities do this.)

Are you even slightly familiar with US foreign policy in the world?

Yes.

Do you know about what happened in Kosovo/Yugoslavia?

Ar you implying some kind of "USA hates Serbia! Serbia did nothing wrong!!1~" revisionism?

Or the Middle East, South America history?

Yes

You really are a special kind of midwit if you can’t see that by now.

plonk.


Please don't respond to a bad comment by perpetuating a flamewar yourself. That only makes things worse.
