Those maps are just maps. Borders dramatically change all the time. In the case of Ukraine many are ethnically Russian.
I dunno history maybe you right. Russian's living in Ukraine consider them selves to have just as much right to live there as western Ukrainians. There is also deep hatred for the part of the country that supported nazis.
I reckon that would be right , considering the Russians starved them out to death . LOL , they seem to have forgotten too quickly , I would never , ever forget .
The Russians didn't starve them, Stalin and his gangs did. The Russians suffered as much as everyone else, perhaps even more, under communism.
Ukrainian govt thugs using live fire on citizens:
F'ing scumbags.

Because they're totally innocent and haven't been shooting at government supporters...
Would not be surprised if it turns out that way.Thoughts?
Personally I think Russia should invade and annex the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, particularly the Crimean Peninsula. Let the rest of Ukraine rot in the EU if that's what they want.
The Ukrainian gov't just gave it's military and police a go ahead to fire any weapon it feels necessary on CITIZENS;

Russia does not need to annex/invade Eastern Ukraine. Old school Eastern Ukrainian communists (Russian friends) are still deeply entrenched.
You're more likely to see EU/US/NATO troops then Russian ones, inside the Ukraine. You know...for the children.
Who drew first blood?
The Soros-backed thugs protesting the duly elected government.
