That being sad...
Going over your moralistic pontifications have been quite amusing. Now let me bestow upon you some wisdom born of experience:
1) You all seem to be very eager to "do the right thing" (ROFL). While this situation might look new to you, this same thing happened before here in the Balkans.
Back then we Serbs were ready and willing to do the right thing and we did. Problem was that us doing the right thing was exactly what enemies wanted us to do. We played straight into their hand and today Serbia is a country that is being slowly, systematically and permanently erased from existence along with Serbs as people.
2) You are very concerned for safety and wellbeing of "Russians" in Ukraine. Might I ask what those "Russians" did to deserve such dedication?
Russia has been separate country for two and a half decades already. Why have they all waited this long to demonstrate their "Russian" attitudes? From what I can tell they had no problems at all rubbing shoulders with openly declared Nazis for 25 years as long as they got pat on a back and a promise of some free EU money down the road.
It's only now, when they realized that their Nazi but-buddies don't really like them, that they have rediscovered their "long lost" Russian identity, continently at the same time when Russia is no longer welfare case of the planet...
3) When Nazis on maidan were killing and burning those who disagreed with them, why haven't these "Russians" responded in kind? Why haven't they fought for themselves? Why haven't they burned and killed their "enemies"? Why wait for so long?
I guess It's always nicer when someone else fights and dies while you sit on your ass, right?
Just like those dickholes today who protest in Donetsk. If they have problem with getting shelled maybe they should do something about it. I noticed a lot of strapping able bodied men in that crowd who would look great in uniform.
4) You all seem to be in quite a hurry. Did you honestly thought that this will be over in couple of months? This thing will drag on for years and years to come.
And if West wants to keep financing Kiev indefinitely, then let them. I am sure with that cash Ukraine will become utopia in just couple of months and every little ukrop and holhol will live long easy and carefree life in the land of plenty (SPOILER WARNING: It won't...)
.........
Long story short: Russia MUST NOT do the right thing. Russia MUST do the smart thing.
150 million actual Russians depend on Russia doing the smart thing. As for others, price must be payed for complacency and egoism first, before spoils can be distributed to them.
