I'm pretty sure the correct term is military coup. The EU response was what? More appeasement by focusing on potential justifications of this invasion instead of the ongoing breaking of international law by US aggression towards the same oil-rich country.

A coup is internal. This was anything but.

I thought it didn't matter whether it's internal or not. But looks like you're right. Thanks for the correction.
