There was no coup.

The Kremlin “coup” lie is simply pro Kremlin propaganda fiction packaged as a neat simple to parrot slogan tailored for the lowest common denominator types.

Regardless, the Kremlin “coup” lie that is based on internal affairs in Ukraine has absolutely no connection to instigating an external war with Russia.

There is a reason we have a dictionary so that we operate off a common understanding of what words mean. The dictionary definition does not support your version of the word “proxy war”.

Putin started the war and he is a direct participant in it. That is not what the definition says, it says the instigator is NOT a direct participant. Here is the definition again for you.

Notice how the definition of the term "proxy war" hasn't changed yet in a single post you changed how you meant it, not a surprise there...
