we know electrical trumps mechanical more often than not
The "mechanical" ignition is electrical, it uses mechanics to create an electrical circuit. It's about as simple as it gets, a basic switch.
The "push-button" ignition is not just electrical, it's electronic and is considerably more difficult to engineer and fix than the switch. It also relies on a separate keyfob (which is much less physically robust than a key) with which it must communicate using radio frequencies (which can fail), and the keyfob must have its own independent source of power (which can also fail). Also the radio authentication mechanism can be hacked by a 3rd party even if they don't have access to the keyfob.
This suggests that the push-button ignition system is much more likely to fail more often than the key. Yes, even simple switches fail, but replacing it with something even more likely to fail is perhaps not the best idea.
you'll have to look elsewhere for the "smoking gun" that these are Russian forces
I don't have to do anything except wait and see. And, in fact, nor does Russia, despite all the tub-thumping. Even if all the Kremlin propaganda were true and Kyiv were a hotbed of destabilized lunatic anti-Semitic fascists, they pose no credible threat to Russia. So why don't you just pack up and go home and occupy yourself with your own affairs.
you're looking at 10 men who managed to score same outfits
Sure, a bunch of civilian neighbors who all have the same outfits, automatic weapons, military training and bags of ammunition. Let's see how that theory plays out in 2 weeks' time when Putin admits that there were Russian military in East Ukraine just like he has now admitted that there were Russian forces in the Crimea when he originally swore blind that the little green men were "local self-defence forces".
Of course. The unarmed civilians who were killed weren't actually unarmed civilians, they were hardened battle fascists. And the little green men were backing singers from the Crimean Children's Choir. And Russia has no special forces in Eastern Ukraine, because every Ukrainian separatist has identical full combat battle dress, automatic weapons, ammunition and squad training to take over his local town hall.
I notice you completely ignored the entire issue of moral authority and justification which is mostly pertinent to this thread, instead choosing to throw more of your FUD dung around. Do you have anything to say on that issue?
In any situation, the real power is always in the hands of men with guns.
By this logic Yanukovych was the real power when he ordered the Berkut to open fire on unarmed civilians. But strangely the next day he had to flee the country.
What you don't seem to realize is that the more you antagonize Ukraine, the less moral authority you have. What Russia is doing is like depriving a man of sleep for five days and then pointing and saying "I told you he was a bad driver!" when he crashes his car. Invading and occupying the Crimea turned Ukraine into the victim, any issues that they might have with their government can simply be blamed on that and on Russia's continued agitprop in the East: they can't do their spring cleaning while you're setting their house on fire.
The way the whole of the rest of the world sees this situation is that Ukraine is a man who fell down the stairs and bashed his head. While he was lying bleeding in the gutter, Russia stole his wallet and kicked him in the nuts. You want to show your moral authority? Help him to his feet and take him to hospital.
The only reason they are still in position of some power in Kiev is because Right Sector, which was the real power behind maidan but had little public support initially switched sides to West puppets because it saw just how vulnerable they were against the people and just how much power they would get by essentially taking the entire security apparatus into their hands by supporting the weak puppet government.
Let me get this right. The Right Sector was the real power but it had no power. But it would gain power by supporting a government that had no power.
So, this "weak puppet government". Nothing you have said so far proves or even implies that "The West" (scary shady figures in the background, who are they even really?) installed them. Everything you have said is misdirection and spin.
I fully expect that there will be protesters against the current government. Ukraine needs to hold a fully accountable general election so that everyone can have faith in their government. They're not going to be able to do that though while Putin continues to incite civil war through astroturfing shills like you.
Of course we are all going to accept that "what matters" is what $random_slashdot_poster says. Maybe what matters is what the United Nations decides. Or maybe what matters is different for everyone.
Absolutely agreed, although what you omitted is why they're there, which is to take their own in-house agendas and cover them with a nice veneer of standards. Nothing demonstrates this more clearly than HTTPbis, where any suggestions that deviate from Google's current implementation are shot down with salvos of "but we already have working code".
Forget about the space our universe occupies. The matter came from somewhere. The antimatter also. Either it was created by the big bang (or the process that caused it), or it was moved from somewhere else into our universe by the big bang (or the process that caused it). Nothing about this says that it was necessarily created or moved in equal quantities.
Perhaps start with what the state of things was before the big bang then, before trying to claim that everything was in equal amounts at the time of the big bang, i.e. hard questions as opposed to untestable ones.
Perhaps work first on utilizing those vast resources then, and getting humans to survive for any length of time without an umbilical cord to Earth, before working on measures that will lead to species death by overpopulation.

Except smoked bacon, which causes cancer and is clearly evil, therefore a terrorist threat.
Now the bank robber doesn't have a gun and can't threaten people.
You plan to shoot at law enforcement who try to arrest you in error? I don't see this working out well for you.
It actually ever gets warm enough in NYC to be bothersome to a horse? I'd have thought the pollution issue would be much more salient.

Ooooooookaaaaaay
Good point. I think there is something in what Xest says.
The entire purpose of astroturf agitprop is to make you believe this.

"The West" has not installed anyone in Kiev. They are Ukrainians who installed themselves. Unless by "the West" you also mean Ukraine.
Unlike, say, the little green men. Now who's being hypocritical?

It's not a protocol at all, it's a format. A protocol describes the details of an exchange between two or more parties.
