I just care about things being called for what they are...
Show us the evidence that what happened in Kiev was a "US backed coup". Please, show us this evidence you are basing this belief on, maybe then you will have some credibility.

Nothing anyone says here, and no amount of evidence, is ever going to change your mind. That's because you're either actively choosing to ignore the truth in favor of your beliefs, or you're an active propagandist who knows exactly what they're doing and doesn't care for credibility.
