OK, apologies if I offended. To be honest I'm pissed off with what's going on in Ukraine because from my perspective I see a country having its sovereignty stripped away by force, heavily assisted by outside actors, so maybe thats why my comments seem charged.
I wasn't aware I was using exaggerations and the intentional fallacies - As far as I understand from news reports, there's no doubt that pro-Russian militia armed with automatic weapons are in at least two cities now, if not more. I already said that I couldn't prove they were Russian soldiers (I edited it before you replied). Maybe you think this view is an exaggeration/fallacy - as far as I understand it, this is fact - but I'm just going on what I understand from the media.
As for the loaded question - yep, I guess I should have separated that question ("Are they generally supportive about what Putin and the Russian government doing in Ukraine?") from the rest, and put it in a new paragraph. But I am genuinely interested to know what the Russian sentiment is towards the government's actions during this recent Ukrainian crisis.
For the record I don't think Russians are vodka-drunk sillies
