If the CIA helped that’s fine, people like that should not be in power.
I took issue with that stance. It doesn’t matter whether or not Euromaidan was a coup to do that.
Condoning CIA coups if “the people” wanted it basically gives the CIA carte blanche to coup whoever they want, as long as they manufacture consent enough.
You talked about a coup by the CIA. They’re talking about CIA helping. Two different things. Like you said, we don’t know the extent of their involvement
The original statement was:

So it’s also ok to condone the FBI murdering people if we don’t know that the FBI killed MLK?
I don’t see the connection between the this and the topic at hand
They said that it would have been ok if they helped. That conditional statement doesn’t depend on whether or not they did intervene.
Right but I don’t see the connection between the two things you are talking about
Why don’t yousee the connection. Both are instances of covert violence by the US. One is a foreign affair, the other domnestic.
We don’t know if CIA was involved in any sort or violence in ousting of Yanukovych
That doesn’t matter for this original statement:
We also don’t know if the FBI killed MLK. Does that mean that we can’t condemn them if they did it?
