Glass houses and throwing stones comes to mind with your comment. Your own post and thread history since this whole mess started is also pretty interesting.
Come on mate, you've spent the last 6 months on a single-minded crusade against Russia, day in, day out, bashing Putin at every opportunity. What's the bet I can't find one single Ukraine thread without at least half a dozen anti-Russian comments by you?

Pot meet kettle.
Yeah, that's a bit rich coming from you. And besides, I'm not "pro-Russian", but I definitely am against the new Kiev "government"s actions over the past few months.

And you are fine with the actions of Russia in the past few months, because if it wasn't for them this conflict would be over by now?
Russia isn't shelling cities and killing civilians.
Imagine if some country's government started killing US citizens and expats. How long would it take the US government to go in and bomb them into oblivion? Russia has shown a lot of restraint.
So how is Russia showing restraint backing the separatists with weapons and manpower, that's not even close to showing restraint.

Russia isn't shelling cities and killing civilians. Many of the people in those cities are Russian and many still have Russian citizenship.

Russia started an armed rebellion in the East. A rebellion that because it had no local support, no doubt do to the fact the rebels were mostly not from the area or even Ukraine at all. So they had no problem robbing and terrorizing the locals they were suppose to be their saving. And when Ukraines forces came along, no suprise the locals did nothing to support the rebels and they went on falling back as more and more Russian "soldiers on summer vacation" or lost Russian units joined them and even then things were not good until the Russian just gave up pretending and just started rolling over the border thus exrending the conflict even longer.
Not a single person would be dead in Eastern Ukraine if Russia had not pulled the same move it pulled in Georgia, Moldova and else where. Russia creates a rebellion or uprising so they can come in and secure the area. Russia has not shown restaint they have in fact put Russians people in danger on purpose. Even though they clearly have no interest in any of it.
