I'm guessing you've never heard of color revolutions

Of course I have, but just because things didn't go your way doesn't mean it's a coup.

You have to be wilfuly ignorant to not know that this was a coup.

The idea that the NATO boogieman is behind popular protests is a common Russian propaganda talking point. NATO is just not sophisticated enough to engineer a mass uprising like the Maidan Revolution. If they had, don't you think their newly minted puppet government would have "invited" them in already, just like Russia did in Donbas?
