Comment: Some interesting contrasts drawn between the response of the US to the toppling of the legitimately elected leader of the Yemen vs the response to the toppling of the legitimately elected leader of the Ukraine. Bottom line, there is no pretense of consistency. Whatever course appears to preserve US hegemony is the one they will follow. Without this lens, the actions of the US appear incomprehensible to normal people.
