    It’s still imperialism. I’ve stated that they condone imperialism. Nothing more (kicking puppies), nothing less (political violence).

        I don’t think that there’s much of a difference between one (imperialism) and the other (political violence).

        I’m condemning imperialism not because of the violence, but rather because I’m anti-state.

          I think for most people there’s a line between them helping the Yanukovych ousting succeed in non-violent ways and CIA using or being party to violence to achieve that. But everyone has their own line, you drew it at helping at all.

            With all due respect: I drew jack shit of a line.

            Projecting your poliyical power to your political favour outside your own state’s territory is the definition of imperialism.

            I called it imperialism, because it is imperialism. Nothing more, nothing less.

              I think you misunderstood. Not drawing a line would mean you condone everything. Nothing would be too much. You’re drawing a line at any sort of help CIA might’ve given, with the reasoning that it is imperialism. So that’s your line

                Ok. You might have a point that I condemn imperialism.

                However, that was not my initial point. My initial point was how easily imperialism is overlooked if the “good guys” are doing it. Pure James Bond shit.
