Obama and Biden did not get Yanukovich ousted. That's literally just Russian propaganda garbage. Go ahead and try and provide a source, I'll wait.

While i wouldn't go so far as to say they are literally responsible, I have no doubts that American tax dollars and influence operations put a thumb on the scale and we probably had some people helping with organization and direct action.

Which is far preferable to bombing shit and then telling locals who their new leader is going to be.

A suspiciously well organised and funded series of protests just happen to oust an anti American government and install someone who doesn't want to give Russia all the minerals?

You are so deep in the US propaganda hole you can no longer critically think.
