You’re just parroting NATO propaganda. Glad to see you shifting goalposts on the US backing, though. Shows you understand on some level you’re lying.

Think I’ll trust the word of geopolitical experts over a NATO bot that can’t produce any of their own sources.

I'm not shifting the goalposts. The mere fact the US supported Euromaidan is not the same as the whole thing being a CIA coup.

Except you're not listening to geopolitical experts. You're listening to an economist's opinion on geopolitics, platformed only by Russian assets that is contradicted by most actual geopolitical experts on Earth.

I ask again: how do I source proof of something not happening.

LoL. “An economist.” Please tell me what your qualifications are that you believe you have a better understanding and closer involvement than Jeffrey fucking Sachs. Not “platformed by Russia,” but literally there to assist Ukraine in negotiations.

How many more geopolitical experts dissuading NATO escalation in Ukraine would you like? So you don’t move the goalposts further, let’s set it now: how many more? And what is it that you believe “backed by the US” to mean in a coup?
