I don't understand at all. What exactly do you see as happening in Ukraine, right now?
DPR and LPR have a combined population of like 8,000,000, Ukraine (minus these) has a population of 35-45,000,000 and is one of the largest countries in Europe. Russia is around 140,000,000 - and the USA is now trying to force itself and it's behemoth population of 330,000,000 with the UK/EU and their even more horrifying 500,000,000 to go into it.
So on the one side, you have Russia + DPR + LPR with 148,000,000 and then EU/USA/Ukraine with a population of almost 900,000,000.
What exactly is going on, here? Why do you think Russia is somehow big? Why is Ukraine small? Where the hell are you getting your units of measurement from?
