I'm reminded of the story of the English Bobbie chasing a criminal. In the US, the cop might say something like, "Stop, or I'll shoot." But of course Bobbies have no guns (although there are rumblings of change). So the story goes, the Bobbie yells, "Stop, Stop, Stop.. or I'll yell Stop again."

While I believe that the western half of the country did the right thing by overthrowing the government they hated, I also believe that the pro-russian eastern half should be allowed to go to Russia. To the pro-russian side, the western new government is illegitimate as it just overthrew the democratically elected president and installed a pro-western government.

Bottom line is the country should be split into two halves. The western half can be Ukraine and the eastern half can join the Russian Federation. Fighting to keep the country whole is dumb.

I'm sure the Ukrainians are deeply satisfied that you approve of only half of them being subjugated.

They're not being subjugated. They're ethnic Russians. They don't want to be ruled by the new government in Kiev which is "illegitimate."

you're validating the resurrection of the former Soviet Union - and lets be clear that this is exactly what is happening - by creating artificial "ethnicities" that simply don't exist.

That feels more like a conspiracy theory site than actual people living in Ukraine.

Battle of the moderaters!

I don't blame anyone for thinking that is more of a conspiracy theory website. I found it interesting because of the live updates from several posters from Ukraine. Whether or not it is from conspiracy theorist is beyond me. Take it for what it is worth.
