If the 'Capitol storm' was illegal, then what happened in Kiev in 2014 may also have been illegal

The artificial outrage about the Capitol storm in 2021 is not just. If the peaceful storm of the US Capitol was illegal, then storming the Ukrainian government buildings in 2014 was also illegal. Obviously coups are only legal as long as they don't happen in the West.
      
      
This does not mean that Russia's brute aggression against Ukraine is justified as a result of a coup. It is not. Ukraine is not Russia's business and Moscow will bleed for all crimes and illegal annexations in the long run.
     
       
Yet it is scandalous that people can gather in Ukraine to protest against a corrupt government and rigged elections, including the seizure of government buildings. But when people do the same in Washington, they are labeled criminals, terrorists and part of a conspiracy, and they are put on trial.
      
It seems a former Soviet state has more sense of liberty and democracy than the United States. Shameful and embarrassing for the 'Land of the free'. Bah!
