SpzToid (869795) writes Those plucky "Ukrainian separatist's" ambition to join Russia have now been given Russian military support, as the Russian Army with long columns of armor have invaded Ukraine and have opened up a second warring front, in a big way. The Reuters report, interestingly, quotes a member of Putin's own advisory council on human rights describing the move as an invasion: "When masses of people, under commanders' orders, on tanks, APCs and with the use of heavy weapons, (are) on the territory of another country, cross the border, I consider this an invasion."

Re:Ukrainians are a modern civilized people ... by 0123456 · 2014-08-28 06:03 · Score: 1, Flamebait

Ukrainians are a modern, western, civilized people. Arming them is quite different than arming religious fanatics looking to recreate the middle ages.
Tell that to the passengers on MH17.
Regardless of which group of Ukrainians shot them down, those passengers would be alive if that side didn't have high-performance anti-aircraft missiles.
