    Because it’s a disingenuous question. It isn’t a western-backed faction, it is the will of Ukrainians. They marched in the street. Only an absolute idiot would ask such a stupid poopoo baby headed question. Foolish smh. Now leave me alone and go be a legume brain elsewhere.

      isn’t a western-backed faction

      It’s not? Really? When did all the arms shipments stop?

      It objective and inarguable that they’re getting backing from West, regardless of their legitimacy. If you’re going to complain about semantics at least make it accurate.

      They marched in the street.

      And the separatists didn’t? This is ridiculous.

      At best, that shows that people in the western regions didn’t like the old government. It does not prove that they did like the new government (especially considering the US was hand-picking which figures would end up in power), and it also does not prove that the people in regions far from where those marches took place were in agreement with any of that.

      If the western-backed faction had been so secure in their support and popularity, then why was it necessary for them to ban the opposition parties anyway?

      It’s such a shame that it’s impossible to discuss anything like this with anyone in your camp because you all respond this same way, taking offense to the fact that I’m even considering these questions instead of blindly accepting whatever our politicians tells us to think.
