Wut? All I'm doing to explaining why Russia made their moves. If you want to live in a vacuum and wait for slanted Western news to tell you what happened, that's fine. What would convince you that there were Russian troops in the Donbas this whole time? What would convince you that the Minsk Protocols were ignored by Kiev?

Do you know anything about the Donbas region of Ukraine and its history? Did you read Putin's speech? Do you have any clue what's going on?
