Is the unrest in Ukraine at a similar intensity level to the Arab Spring? Watching the news all you see are the weaponry, and the BUK launchers, hear about aircraft being knocked out of the sky. You would think this is almost a conventional war with clear lines of battle. But is this the case? Apparently there was a town taken over by the Pro-Russians whom the Ukrainians have ousted. But the wiki articles about the incidences do not indicate many casualties one would assume in a real battle.

Also is there full mobilization of the populace on either side? Like what are the people in the separatist states doing if they have not joined the fight? Are they still using currency to buy food from the stores? Are the militants putting everyone to work making bullets and explosives?

I think the ethnic hatred that the Russian people, particularly the ethnic Russian colonists in eastern Ukraine, have toward the indingeous peoples of Ukraine is as deep as the hatred the Palestinians have toward Jews.

MSM is showing men with guns walking around, and shooting, but who knows if that is real action, or just a demonstration so the MSM has something to show the viewers at home.

Yes, weren't you calling for the ethnic cleansing of Russians awhile back? Or are you afraid to admit that?
