[unbreakable]

coups are not uprisings they are foreign invasions

One of those words that is kind of thrown around willy nilly

coups are not uprisings they are foreign invasions

An uprising is different from a coup which is different from a foreign invasion.

And the word uprising has meant a popular revolt for over 400 years. (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=uprising)

yep. coup - forced/sudden change of leadership

in the case of ukraine, there was first an uprising, then a coup of sorts, and then a foreign invasion afterwards
