Actually, there are a lot of fascist paramilitaries from western Ukraine fighting in the east, along with volunteers from a number of other countries.

A busload of them got ambushed just the other day by the pro-Russian side.

Do you think maybe it’s the Russians who are lying when they said the troops they sent into Ukraine never existed?

Somebody is lying. Time will tell.

Russia is lying, but you already know that. Journalists from the BBC and other networks sat there as the Russkies drove right past them and into Ukraine.

Yes and patriots from Western Ukraine will continue to come to the East to fight against the Neo-Soviet invasion, as well as mercenaries and volunteers from all over Europe, and “military advisers” from the USA will be running the show.

What does Michael Brown have to do with British and Russian journalists watching as Russian armor passes into Ukraine, even taking photographs? Are they making it up, troll?

One of the main differences between me and you is I am working for American interests not Russia’s or Cuba’s.

Sounds to me like you are working for Ukraine’s interests not the United State’s.

Helping our Ukrainian allies defeat our Russian enemies is in the interests of the United States.

Your Ukrainian allies not mine.

German stocks fall as Ukraine strikes Russian convoy
The value of companies listed on the German DAX stock index have tumbled by as much as €6bn as investors take fright after Ukrainian forces destroy part of Russian convoy

Just wait until it’s a real confrontation.

When I say “our,” I mean Americans. I wasn’t talking about you.

You're a Muscovite or a committed useful idiot for them, so, of course you are an enemy of Ukraine and of all free peoples.

"ignorant savage brutality of the mass murderer and war criminal Vladimir Putin"

On that part we agree.

On whether there would be a sustained and effective insurgency in the East, we do not.

" if you're going to throw out random numbers after ignoring my response. "

Sorry, just went back and saw that.

I stand corrected.

I'd appreciate it if you could cite something on that, all I have is election results of the Pro-Russian President from the east...prior to Maidan.

Here is one poll. I didn't save a link where I took this picture from, but I started from wikipedia and followed the links in the bottom.

Putin’s stupid thugs thought that Eastern Ukraine would all support them but it didn’t happen. It won’t happen if Russians invade either. The Russians will be sitting ducks just like the “Ukrainian rebels” have been. They will be encircled in the cities, starved out and sieged. Then they will run back to Russia with their tails between their legs, just like Comrade Strelkov, and just like the Red Army fled Afghanistan in humiliation and defeat.

Here is showing who supported European Union and who supported Customs Union by age. Overall European Union had more support overall and higher support in population under 50.

Yanukovich ran for president promising European Union integration. Probably figured he will get the under 50 vote this way and over 50 is going to vote as they always did (for him) regardless of the election promises.

I'd advise the fascist scum to take separate cars then, and avoid riding around together in buses.

It may well be a hollow Victory. If Russia goes to war it will be ugly. First sign—The Red Airforce—second sign, the Cyber attack, Third sign, Kiev oblierated in a nuke attack.
