If you watch the videos the entire city was on fire and the "peaceful protestors" were firing rocket propelled grenades at the police force. And the Democratically elected leader, Yanukovych, had to flee the country and give control over to the insurrectionists or he would have been murdered.
I guess you can say "That wasn't a coup" if you like, but we would really just arguing about semantics here.
What on earth does that even mean?
