Right wing, left wing, middle wing... Russians, Americans, Germans, Ukrainians and lets toss in some Chinese and Japan.
Again All I know is men can be crappy to each other. In a nutshell Politics sucks!!! Boarders? Really? Nationalism is a religion. Your are born into it. You have no choice. The Jews, Christians and Muslims claim the same God? Really? War? Really? Come on!!!! Same God? Men can be crappy to each other. This world order is not working. It sucks. Again. Sorry Moxxie. But it does make for a great Close Combat game!!! |

these are both not state controlled though belong to the oligarchs that are close to Putin. |

Which is basically the same as state-controlled. Ukrainian news sources also suffer from oligarch-ownership. |

All Western media lampoons the US President and politicians when they do something wrong, that's the biggest difference. |

The Ukranian army seems to be totally demoralized.

Obviously a made up video with actors. They are saying the Russians are trashing them, and the Russians are not in the Ukraine. The Russians are also not firing across the border or supplying arms to the separatists. |

it's common there to call militia as Russians...don't forget the Ukranian propaganda keep saying that they are in war with Russia. |

Well at the minimum, they literally will be Russians assuming the Separatists succeed in their efforts. Obviously Russia has everything to gain. I think Russia probably has advisors in Ukraine territory. It would not take much effort to arm or assist the rebels. |

Not sure about the media coverage in Russia, but here in the west, video footage is seldom if ever of the battles between Separatists and Ukrainian Govt forces. |

To me, time is on the separatists side. Russia can trickle in enough arms and support to keep the conflict going, while not overtly invading.
Ukraine is broke financially, they will need Western support (money and arms) to continue and this will play into Russia's hands. Ukraine needs to finish this quickly, but I'm not sure they're capable of doing it without massive civilian casualties. |

Exactly...thus the whole reason for the unraveling of Ukraine. They are in desperate shape, virtually no jobs. I think unemployment rate is over 20%. Whereas Russia has deep pockets in comparison and nothing but time on their side and endless supply of military surplus equipment left over from Cold War era. They can give that away for free...no sweat off Putin's back. |
