Figure of speech old man. Nuland was running Ukraine since her appointment at the position back in 2013.
Nuland choose the next Ukrainian PM, while the existing government was still conducting its duties under the constitution. She came to the Maiden Square 3 weeks after the protests started ( very soon that is). You point at any recent protest around the world where a high ranking US State official was present to provide the support for the protesters. I am not aware of any, so please prove me wrong.
