> Just ours. I understand your sentiment. The point is that in case of Ukraine the pro-russian half of the population did not want to be governed by us-installed government who started their reign by changing the language legislature in favor of the ukranian language. The anti-russian political tilt resulted in federalisation demands from the eastern regions as well as crimea which progressed into full-blown separatism (eventually supported by russia). I believe it is quite immoral to blame Russia for supporting pro-russian separatists when the federal government installed by the US was effectively nationalistic.

  > Putin's propaganda is quite effective It is. It is fascism and it is very effective. Frighteningly so. Twitter videos conducting interviews with Russian citizens on the streets are easy to come by. Many of them wholly support their president and his actions.

  Obviously Ukraine didn't split in two and only small parts seceded. As to how many Ukrainians were unhappy with the new government - I don't have a good estimate as I wasn't interested in Ukranian politics and might be wrong. I would be curious to hear your version of the events.
