[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5197520, member: 24302"] If you look at the history you'll know why. The Russians moved Russians all over the Soviet Union to run things. They had the power, they took the wealth. When the Soviet Union collapsed many of those Russians moved back to Russia. Some stayed. As far as the Donbas goes it had much of Ukraine's heavy industry. The Ukrainians are trying to hang on to that. And those separatists forced many ethnic Ukrainians from their homes. It's not like the Ukrainians are being SOB's about it. They've taken a lot of punishment from the Russians over the centuries and they're now saying this is our country, no more. Worth dying for to them. I can see a lot of parallels between them and us kicking out the British. Between them and Latin Americans kicking out the Spanish. They may not win, but I bet they'll make the Russians regret starting this. [/QUOTE]
