We had a situation in Nevada last weekend when a rancher, Bundy, stood his ground against a federal agency which is over-reaching. He and his family were assuaulted by the feds. So, it's happened here that people have had to stand up to over-reaching federal authority. We all wonder what would happen if tanks from another part of the US were brought in to tell us how to run our lives.

I'd be an American babouska, out front! But it's taken courage all over the world for me to realize that.

The coup gov in Kiev was given an unbelieveable opportunity; they were handed a country to run. They botched it from day one when they outlawed Russian as an official language. And now, they're handing the remnants of a military they have left to people who don't want their "protection".

Does that answer your question? And yes, I've been on the side of the pro-Russians in eastern Ukraine. It's all about self-determination. Crimea is the only place where the people got to vote. How can Kiev's coup gov salvage something? How about pulling back the troops and having a popular vote?

They are not ‘pro-russians’, they are russian military attacking a sovereign nation.

Would you support someone coming into your house and declaring it theirs? storming it with a military and having a ‘vote’, and oh, surprise it’s now someone else’s.

Russia has attacked and taken over a country, they have stormed their bases, taken their ships, and killed troops. This is simply one country attacking another for it’s resources and land. It’s not about self-determination.

Kiev ‘coup’ was a group of students and others that risked their lives, 100 dead!!! to stave off tyrany.

How is defending your country a ‘coup’, but a one country attacking another and taking it’s land a ‘self-determination’?

“Pro-Russian” crowds are no bigger than 1-2 thousand people, even in +1 million people agglomerations. It is GRU’s action with commie grandmas used as human shields. It is clear for everyone except homo sovieticus. Mongoloids have been preparing that for years, likely Yanuk was put in charge in 2010 to allow that.

Had that already. See Waco, 1993.
