The US did back his overthrow due to his close ties to Putin . What we got was a loose knit group of neo Nazi's. You don't send arms to a so called government that showed it's willingness to turn it's military on it's own people  until a more centralized and  government could be established .Trump on the other hand withheld arms donations that were backed with bipartisan congressional support in order to get political favors channeled through his personal attorney rather than through official state department channels. I wonder why?  It's all there in the transcript. A transcript that would not have been made public if Moscow Mitch  not told the WH to do so.</blockquote>
