Sovereignty? Who is "Yats" today?
Please show me just one ukrainian (or international) investigation with results about those horrible events mentioned above!
The Maidan Snipers Massacre (democratic revolution), the Odessa Massacre, the Mariupol Massacre, the Lugansk bombing, the MH17 downing, the use of cluster bombs, ballistic missiles, white phosphorus and heavy artillery are all US provocations.

Lavrov: Why don’t the BBC and CNN show "Russian troops in Ukraine"?
You're an expert on the Ukraine issue.
The genocide of the Russians started in the east after a referendum about the "official language" in schools... In the forever Russian Crimea (acknowledged by China and NATO-member Turkey) there are three official languages. In "independent european" ukraine only the ukrainian is "official".

that isn't how it works

From 4360 dead soldiers of the Russian Federation in Ukraine recognized only 900 - Vasilyeva
Khatyn or Chatyń (Belarusian and Russian: Хаты́нь, pronounced [xɐˈtɨnʲ]) was a village of 26 houses and 156 inhabitants in Belarus, in Lahoysk Raion, Minsk Region, 50 km away from Minsk. On March 22, 1943, the entire population of the village was massacred by the 118th Schutzmannschaft Nazi battalion. The battalion was formed in July 1942 in Kiev and was made up mostly of Ukrainian nationalists from Western Ukraine and collaborators, Soviet army prisoners-of-war/deserters and the Dirlewanger Waffen-SS special battalion.

Lviv (Ukraine) (AFP) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Friday risked further angering the Kremlin by suggesting that English lessons replace Russian ones in schools to improve the country's standard of living.
How hard is that to understand?

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast — 72%
Donetsk Oblast — 93%
Zaporizhia Oblast — 81%

There should be a law that makes the children of gov officials the first ones on the front lines of ANY military action that they pursue.
See how many wars we get involved with then.

Ron Paul reminds me of the Aeolipile. Those ancient people were so, so close to starting the industrial revolution over a thousand years ago. They were so, so close, they had it RIGHT THERE, but they ignored it as anything other than a spectacle.
Kind of reminds of me Ron Paul. We have a real, good leader RIGHT HERE yet most Americans ignore him as anything other than a spectacle. SO close, yet so far because too few people have removed their heads from their rears.
Sochi Winter Olympics, Putin wanted nothing more than those games to be the launching pad for Russian domination on the world scene.
KISSINGER. … But if the West is honest with itself, it has to admit that there were mistakes on its side. The annexation of Crimea was not a move toward global conquest. It was not Hitler moving into Czechoslovakia.
SPIEGEL. What was it then?
KISSINGER. One has to ask oneself this question: Putin spent tens of billions of dollars on the Winter Olympics in Sochi. The theme of the Olympics was that Russia is a progressive state tied to the West through its culture and, therefore, it presumably wants to be part of it. So it doesn’t make any sense that a week after the close of the Olympics, Putin would take Crimea and start a war over Ukraine. So one has to ask oneself, Why did it happen?
SPIEGEL. What you’re saying is that the West has at least a kind of responsibility for the escalation?
KISSINGER. Yes, I am saying that. Europe and America did not understand the impact of these events, starting with the negotiations about Ukraine’s economic relations with the European Union and culminating in the demonstrations in Kiev. All these, and their impact, should have been the subject of a dialogue with Russia. This does not mean the Russian response was appropriate.

Bravo.
Putin will not rest until he brings his country to shambles. He sees himself as greater than he actually is, and sees his capabilities to be more. I could tell, during the Sochi Winter Olympics, Putin wanted nothing more than those games to be the launching pad for Russian domination on the world scene. When those plans didn't come together exactly as he thought they would, he started sliding down the slippery slope of becoming more of a pest and nuisance and embarrassment to the global community than anything else. He wants nothing more now than to save face and ruin the U.S. Yes there will be a war, started by Russia with plausible deniability, which will end in lots of tactical nukes and surrender by Russia . It will start on the high seas.

You remember the one ring that didn't light up? You remember the tear falling down the cheek of the huge giant bear mascot? You think those were purely coincidental? Putin was already acting a little "big for his britches". Remember the crappy rooms the US athletes got in the new hotels that weren't finished? Showers that had brown water running out of them? The many dogs running loose in the streets? Kissinger is pretty well-versed in foreign matters but let's face it, he's an observer now just like you or me.

Oh to be so young and innocent. You think wars that have been going on since the beginning of humans are suddenly going to stop now, because we have been enlightened about TPTB? Yay, war has been conquered! If only it were that easy.

The only person who orchestrated this is Putin. His paranoia and insistence on other leaders respecting Putin is the problem.
For Putin to claim the people in east Ukraine should be allowed to decide their own course free of outside intervention is laughable when Russia demands a guarantee from NATO to not accept the rest of Ukraine.
Putin is a moron whose ego is preventing him from backing down.
Everything to date Putin has bitched about is a reaction to his own actions.
