That's not a coup. That's an illegal protest. They were all a bunch of self-centred idiots, but let's not give them credit for something that it wasn't.

Illegal protest that involves the dissolution of an elected government, and the leader of the opposition hob-knobbing with them?

Maybe not technically a coup if there's an election held right after, fair. Let's just agree to call it "tried to overthrow the government."

If that is your yardstick, I take it you don't have a problem with what e.g. Russian street cops do to opposition protests either?
