You mixed cause and effect. The separatists became capable of defeating the Ukrainian army after the influx of heavy armor and weapons. Before that they were losing and retreating all the time.
I agree about your point on Russian citizens. They are just people like all other. They have different opinions, etc. But the same could be said about e.g. Nazi Germany. Most Germans were still normal people. There were some fanatics. There was Hitler at the top. Mostly normal people, but still a very evil country/state.
The analogies with what happens in Russia now are striking, IMO.
The only question is if a country behaves like a beast how far are you willing to go to keep the beast happy?
You know, like in those fairy tales about dragons - either you keep making sacrifices (gold, virgins, etc) or the dragon gets angry and burns you to ashes.
Do you think that there are ground control operators in Ukraine that speak Spanish but not English?
google about that guy, you'll find some information.
Actually there were no BUKs there, so the separatists couldn't get any from UA military.
If they have BUKs then those cam from Russia.
It's a standard scheme - the separatists claim to have captured something from the army and then they get that from Russia.
Often times in 10x quantities comparing to their claims.
Russians kidnap Ukrainians from Ukrainian soil for 'trial' in Russia.
See film director Oleg Sentsov who was kidnapped from Cirmea.
See Nadia Savchenko, a Ukrainian military officer, who was captured by separatist fighters and moved to Russia.
You may have a point, but it is implausible that vacuum tubes can be more reliable than solid semiconductor designs. I am old enough to have used Soviet electronics with vacuum tubes.
There is an opinion that the USSR had lost the computer race because the party leaders chose to steal and clone western designs and software instead of doing their own thing, of which the USSR scientists and researchers would be rather capable.
You speak from a point of view that it's all between the West and the Russia (it's Ukraine, not the Ukraine, stupid). Like those countries and their people that joined NATO didn't have any opinion and choice of their own.
Exactly. With all this ecstasy from revolution, people should look a bit which statements Praviy Sector and Svoboda made before.
Before revolution they said several times, that Russia, Poland and several other countries own their territory, plus their hymn include "russians on knifes" and "ukraine for ukrainians". Now guess, what will happen when they have nukes.
I was shocked, when i so how their "activists" attacked veterans of WWII, 80+ year old people, in 2011, Lviv. Check youtube for that.
Kosovo was under U.N. administration for eight years before it was allowed to formally break away from Serbia.
Crimea is about to have a "referendum" eight days after Russian invasion.
Except that you do not decide such matters in a hasty referendum during an invasion under a false pretext.
The autonomous republic is a part of Ukraine and that was confirmed in many treaties between Ukraine and Russia.
Are you quite sure of what you say here?
E.g. look at Andorid as an example of sharing back by mandate. Revealing some derived source-code and truly sharing it back (making it usable) is not the same thing.
Also, regrading the hardware support, GPL has nothing to do (in direct sense) with many companies providing linux drivers for their hardware. You know, much more companies provide windows drivers (and even certify them with ms) and that's not because of gpl. It's just that historically linux has achieved (a lot) more popularity than BSD-derivatives.

Please don't talk about Ukraine if you don't really know anything about it and its history.

Lacy underwear is banned. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/02... You may laugh at a regulation like this, but it went into effect yesterday.

I was with you until you mentioned Crimea.
There is an opinion that the USSR had lost the computer race because the party leaders chose to steal and clone western designs and software instead of doing their own thing, of which the USSR scientists and researchers would be rather capable.
I don't think that they get shot down a lot.
probably this also a reason why the tests and reports completely ignore statstics

.. before declaring someone a fascist. Today's Russia matches a definition of fascist state perfectly.
380 out of 450 members of parliament voted for it. The current parliament was elected in 2012. Decide for yourself.

Care to back your accusations with facts / links?

An 8 year old child? Or a teacher who goes to an elementary school with a gun under his belt?
So that's how the Black Sea came to be.
Sorry, but I couldn't find Plex for FreeBSD or Plex Source Code on their download page.

You don't. The whole point of sudo is that it gives you fine-grained control over the privileges of each user.
I wouldn't call it fine grained.
Same as many people use on Linux.
