    Are you implying he wasn’t a bad leader?

    Helping people remove a corrupt president is generally good. If the KGB wanted to help us oust trump I wouldn’t cry about it. (Though let’s be real, they’re more likely to help him cling to power if anything)

      You realize you’re advocating for covert, top down regime change, right?

      Not very democratic of you, mate

        I’m advocating for fascist and corrupt regimes to be overthrown.

        Viktor Yanukovych was not taken out in a covert top down regime change, he was ousted by the Revolution of Dignity; there were over half a million people gathered in the capital demanding change and parliament voted to remove him without a single dissenting vote.

          What if the fascists (AZOV) do the overthrowing?

          You’re changing the topic. You literally said that it’s ok to top-down regime change if someone’s a “bad leader”.
