If they're Ukranian citizens who left the military when Crimea became part of Russia but don't live in Crimea, they're still Ukraine citizens. Add to that Ukranian military who sided with eastern Ukraine. They'd be Ukranian citizens and capable of running a military operation in their home area.

Meanwhile, it's pretty certain that McCain and Nuyland openly supported and met with the Kiev thugs. And isn't Biden going there to show support in about a week?

‘nuther thing I find humorous . . . we are supposed to believe that Nuland had her fingers in the pie, but Putin? How dare anyone even suggest the thought!

The Ukrainians are correct in their assessment. Photos have been shown of known GRU and Spetznaz troops seen in Crimea now present in Eastern Ukraine, and many of their agents have been arrested, along with communications intercepted. Also, it is unlikely that home grown rebels are able to launch a coordinated assault against multiple targets all at the same time, all along an important invasion route for Russia. The Useful Idiots here are a little too trusting of their communist overlords in Moscow. Anyone who doesn’t understand what the Russians are doing in Ukraine is an idiot.

"Anyone who doesn’t understand what the Russians are doing in Ukraine is an idiot."

And anyone who doesn't understand what the US and EU are doing in the Ukraine is an idiot.

But, it takes a really, really, special kind of idiot to think the Russians are the only ones double-dealing and murdering in the Ukraine.

Capture a couple of them and post pictures saying “Come get your husband/kid”. Interesting to see if Putin can get away with this in age of social media

You mean, what the Ukrainians themselves are doing in Ukraine. I don't believe conspiracy theories about the NWO. But, it takes a really, really, special kind of idiot to think the Russians are the only ones double-dealing and murdering in the Ukraine.

Nothing sickens me more than liberal style moral relativism, seeking to equalize NATO with the Soviet bloc. Even with Obama at the helm, we are nothing like the Russians who are literally being led by people with sympathies for Neo-Nazi doctrines and Aleister Crowley Satanists.

Many people are deliberately believing Putin despite all the evidence that he’s a world class liar.

Many people believe that Russians are the majority, so what Putin is doing is OK.

Or maybe they just think it’s none of our business.

65 percent of people in Eastern Ukraine, from recent polling, do not support being annexed by Russia, and a greater number do not claim to be “pressured” or under threat from Kiev. The “protestors,” with a good portion of them being pre-invasion forces of Russia, are a small minority.

If that wasn't a mob in Kiev there's never been one. A mob can replace a bad government with a good one, a good government with a bad one, or a bad government with a worse one. It's still a mob, especially if it forces a change of government only months prior to a legal, Constitutional, election.

Is it just possible that Putin faced with an election which was probably going to go against Russian interests inject a "false flag" group into demonstrations? The only way he could grab Crimea was to delegitimize the Ukrainian government before the election.

The Ukranian leaders simply need to come out against gays, that’ll bring the Putin fans back behind the Ukranians.
