A big chunk of Eastern Ukraine are ethnic Russians. That's in play as well.

Don't forget, the Ukrainian regime that Obama's State Department installed after the coup were actual fascists and they did engage in war against ethnic Russians.

lmao.. like Russians aren't fascists in their own right. Don't try and fool me with the "fascist" argument, when Russians are as fascist as anyone. I agree with you about Obama and Mccain, CIA, EU, etc stealing Ukraine.. but our politicians are all from the same leaf. Greedy pigs.

Also the eastern Ukraine russian theme is tired. That may be the case. But they are not threatened unless they try to seccede or fight in a civil war against their government. hmmm.. let's see.. like the Islamists fighting in Syria against Assad that Russia has been killing for the past 5 years.

I don't think fascism is the right description for what Russia currently is, but I don't have a better term. Sort of like our own current tyrants, they haven't invented the right descriptors for them yet. The old "isms" aren't accurate anymore.

The ethnic strife we're discussing didn't just start recently. A lot of this animosity goes back centuries, something Americans don't understand for the obvious reasons. There's some truth that the Ukraine/Russian issues date back to Khazarian days. Many of the Bolsheviks were not Russian.

It's pretty freakin complex.

I don't know about the ethnic issues between Ukraine/Russia, I guess there are multiple ethnicities in Ukraine/Russia, like ALL countries. But just because you don't agree with your government doesn't mean you can start civil war. What government willfully stand for this? not China, not Syria, not Russia.. except for the controlled Muslim lands where Russia owns the warlords to shut down the extremism..

As far as fascism.. the current Russian program under Putin defines "fascism".
