They are being downvoted because Nuland is an utterly insignificant diplomat, but serves well as a dog whistle for people who subscribe to the belief that the Maidan revolution in Ukraine was really some Obama organized coup. This is a story peddled by the Russian government, which of course is where Yanukovych promptly fled after having protestors shot. At the same time Russia was busy staging troops and material for the actual coup they were planning.

Yes, insignificant enough to remark "Yats is our guy" (during an intercepted but confirmed-authentic conversation with another US diplomat that Russia subsequently leaked), only for "Yats" (Arseniy Yatsenyuk) to subsequently become the Ukrainian PM. Coincidence, I'm sure...
