What is it with you people that you assume I'm damning the Ukrainians? Bloody hell, can no one be reasonable? Mict, all you've done is spam shit, sarcasm and ignore my post. And ignore them more now. Honestly I might as well be chanting heil Putin for all the good it's doing me, it seems like I'm not being heard as anything but.
Okay, I'll help you with the claims you made that you seem to be so upset that I'm disputing:
Making Ukrainian the sole state language was the final straw for many of them who saw the new government as not being in their interests nor representing them, first having seized control from a government they didn't fight against and then seeing the government disregard them.
1. You claim changing the 'sole state language' is the final straw. Show me how Ukraine wasn't the official language already, and how minority languages are no longer allowed as acceptable secondaries in official means in regional governments. The law changed it so official documentation to the federal government is in Ukranian. What a surprise. That's a nuance you ignore and instead you propagate the RT claim that Russian was being stamped out, or something.
What do you think would happen if Britain took away Welsh's legal authority in Wales? The Welsh nationalists wouldn't be happy.
2. You imply Ukraine has threatened or taken Russian legal authority in Ukraine. Show me where this happened. You can't, since this is a lie and you're being incredibly dishonest in this kind of line of arguement.
The separatists are fighting for their reasons, one of which was Ukrainian being made the sole language at all state levels, we could talk about the separatists themselves and how they feel about this
3. Once again, you claim one of the reasons separatists are fighting for is 'Ukrainian being made the sole language at all state levels'. Can you show me where this was happening? Was Russian being removed from buildings in eastern Ukraine? Russian speakers given a deadline to learn Ukrainian? Once again, it was federal items that need to be in Ukrainian. Sorta like parliament bills being in English in Britain.
This is why I'm ignoring you.
