Those soldiers showed incredible restraint. When that one big civilian dude grabbed the small soldier by the shoulders and shook him, I was half expecting the other soldier to shoot him in the face.
I was not expecting him to outright shoot the civilian, but a rifle butt to the face would've been appropriate.

The guy at the end did get butt-smashed in the face, and I am fully aware on how this sounds out of context.

I can only say that hopefully a Russian peacekeeping force will arrive shortly to stabilize the region and supervise totally fair and transparent referendums with 95%+ votes in favor of "independence" for eastern Ukraine Malorossiya.

Btw, the percentage of people that voted for joining Russia is greater that the percentage of Dutch men that loves sex. Thanks to the Bugle for that factoid.

Also, this paper makes a nice point: troops cannot be kept at readiness forever, and Putin will want to act before the may elections give the Kiev government gains legitimacy through elections (unless parallel elections are held in the South and East). So we can either expect an invasion in the next month or not until autumn.

Not sure whether you're being sarcastic/trolling or being serious.

My guess is sarcastic.

If you actually are serious, I'll let UR gut your comment.

That's obviously sarcasm, he does not sound indignant enough to be serious.

Apparently I've heard that Tymoshenko has decided to not run for a president?

In that case, how many president candidates are left?

According to wikipedia (Tymoshenko is still listed as a candidate on there), maybe 21? I don't know how many of them are serious contenders though. If the chart in desktop mode is any indicator, there are now six candidates left.

Russia has as much of a claim over Crimea as they do over Donetsk and the Donbass region. I don't see any difference there. In fact, they have as much of a claim over Crimea as they do over the whole of Ukraine. And Finland. And Latvia, and pretty much half of Eastern Europe.

Prooflink, and math formula, please.

My understanding is that the claim is based on the fact that the Russian Empire conquered it.

BTW, This night a pro-RussianPutin presidency candidate was nearly lynched by an angry mob in Kyiv (six bodyguards can't do much against many angry people)
He was saved by... No, not the police. He was saved by the Right Sector.

Okay, nazi's is good. Noted.

Normal tank commander would shot from that big machinegun. First above their heads, then directly at this scum (If you know Russian it's easy to understand their general level of culture and IQ)

Our regular army is not ready to kill on this war, yet

Kill them all. Russians are stupid and uncultural, and scum. Noted.

It's not like those were said eight pages ago and dealt with then.

As a general reminder to everyone, please keep your tempers in your pants please.

I always imagined they were shut-ins that lived in their parents basement or in small shack at the backyard they share with old and rusty tractor, with USSR banner and pictures of topless Putin hanging from the wall. It seems to fit their behaviour well.

"Basement" and "backyard" sentiments is ridiculous in ears of russians. 99% live in flats. I can't explain this for you, you can't understand it. Cultural gap of size of Atlantic ocean.
