If France did that, then they would be doing what you claim Russia is doing (which is your point) but I don't see the evidence that Russia is actually doing that. Pretty much all of the weapons so far used by the resistance could have been acquired when the army units in East Ukraine defected. Moving munitions across the border would be far too politically dangerous for Russia and far too easy to spot with US surveillance. Advisors and intelligence is much less risky and that capacity Russia, I would say, is probably assisting eagerly. However, they clearly aren't operationally in control or MH17 wouldn't have happened.Now, what if say France decided to arm a bunch of the separatist minority and they took over a bunch of Government of Canada buildings and stormed some military bases and some French special forces and mercenaries popped in out of nowhere and started causing all sorts of murder and mayhem?
And if Arabs can't stand living in Gaza or Palestine, the obviously they can move too.To me it seems pretty simple. If the ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine can't stand to live in Eastern Ukraine they can move to Crimea or Russia.
