Robert Parry had this to day about the US contribution to "democracy" in Ukraine:
"Well, the United States has been trying to pry Ukraine away from a close relationship with Russia.
"Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said in December to a group of business leaders that the
United States had invested $5 billion,
she said, in helping Ukraine achieve its European aspirations, that is, moving it away from Russia into the E.U.
"So, obviously, the United States has played a role in trying to achieve this antidemocratic transition.
"As much as they may call it democratic, overthrowing an elected leader is on its face not democratic."
