President refuses to recognize election results, urges protests

Don't know who she is.

Have to check

DAMN YOU!

She's at the heart of the neocon movement, actually married to Robert Kagan

This is her intercepted in a phone call discussing who to replace Ukraine's elected president with a few weeks before he fled a murderous mob. Just don't call it a coup.

Lulz

Even a left wing mag like The Nation called this spade a spade.

Rarely has the sheer arrogance and manipulative game-playing of the United States in foreign policy been more clearly highlighted than in the recent episode involving a phone call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey R. Pyatt, the US ambassador to Ukraine.
...
Let it first be noted that it shouldn’t be surprising that Nuland would come off as a would-be imperialist or game player. If anything, she’s long been the neoconservative inside the Obama administration. For starters, for years she served as chief foreign policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and then as the George W. Bush administration’s ambassador to NATO. She’s married to another prominent neocon, Robert Kagan, one of the co-founders of the Project for a New American Century, the outfit that did more than any other to promote the invasion of Iraq starting in the late 1990s. For two years, Nuland served as the official spokesperson for the US State Department. Why President Obama let Nuland into his administration is anyone’s guess, but there she is.


Nuland: OK. He's now gotten both Serry and [UN Secretary General] Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry could come in Monday or Tuesday. So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and to have the UN help glue it and, you know, **** the EU.

Pyatt: No, exactly. And I think we've got to do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does start to gain altitude, that the Russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it.


Yep. Just 'stating a preference', and then magically two weeks later the elected president flees a murderous mob and the 'preference' takes office.
Nothing to see here.
Definitely nothing like a coup.
No, siree.

Those were actual Ukrainians at Maidan. Unlike the green men in Crimea.
