Features:
When it gets warm the snow and ice melt and roads and fields become hard to use. The winter is actually easier to prepare and execute an offensive. The spring is terrible, but great for defending the conquered territory.
Manstein, in his book "lost victories" fought the Soviets in exactly the same weather and in exactly the same places. He talks about it extensively. For anyone interested in the militairy paramaters in this conflict, this is very interesting reading.
Additionally: Leclerc tanks may be one of the best tanks in the world. That's quite a powerful addition to Polish defence. Surely, an expensive one without a doubt.
> There is not a single Party of Regions held seat in the new government.
That's true, but from what I understand that's because the actual Party of Regions has been dissolved, people like Kinakh and Yefremov are still sitting in their seats, just in the opposition now.
> so why do it then? other than to ignite the East's separatism?
Ethnic politics are often zero-sum, this could have been a way to appease Pravii Sektor and their ilk - show that their ridiculous demands are being listened to, and they shouldn't foment further violence.
> what was the point of going after the Russian language law right after the Yanukovich takedown? I struggle to come up with a rational explanation.
Ethnic conflicts are tough to wrap one's head around, I highly recommend this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Conflict-Updated-Edition-Preface/dp/0520227069
I can't say I've come up with a rational explanation as much as a sympathetic one - Yanukovich was seen by some as yet another anti-Ukrainian oligarch in charge of Ukraine, willing to cave to Moscow for his material improvement. He also received the most support from what a lot of people might see as the region (south and the east) that has historically wanted to separate and might see as a region that hates being Ukrainian and wants to dissolve that identity and link with Russia. This was in some ways, a reassertion of Ukrainian national identity, a way of saying "This is not Russia".
> it's not just a talking point though. it's a really hot-button issue that enrages people, much like banning Victory Day (May 9th) celebrations. and that button was deliberately pushed, sending a clearly incendiary message.
As far as I can tell this is just a rumor, http://www.rferl.org/content/ukraine-canceling-victory-day/25297046.html
If they are indeed cancelling Victory Day, that would be...strange.
Not quite Latvia's march:

Edit: formatting hard
It works out to something like 227 million dollars a year for 22 years. That is a lot of money to spend on propoganda and building pro-western organizations. You may say that's a good thing. I disagree.
But, I think you are willfully ignoring the stated goals of the State Department in those documents This applies to Russia as well as Ukraine. So, does that aid go to Ukraine to do with as they will, or does it go to promote the State Dept. agenda of putting a friendly govt. in Here is what is stated by the State Dept.
> For Eastern and Southeastern Europe, this goal is best met through these countries’ accession to the European Union and NATO
It is unambiguous. So you can't sit back and say that the US isn't meddling.
This is the CIA playbook. It's been in use since the 50s. I recommend reading Phillip Agee's Inside the Company. He lays out in detail exactly how the CIA operated in Central America.
Inside the Company
I think the Lithuanian part of the program was pretty limited. If you're interested in the subject, I'd highly recommend this book gives great context to current events.
Russian Roulette is a good man of the street sort of view but lacks any context for decisions made behind the scenes due to their lack of access.
Not a video series but I would recommend:
>Lessons from Russia's Operations in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine
https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Russias-Operations-Eastern-Ukraine/dp/0833096060
It also goes into and explains some of the Byzantine politics driving the Russian intervention in Donbass with Oligarchs sponsoring groups in an effort to influence the Kremlin by creating facts on ground.
Edit: Found a free copy:

I find this part strange:
> But during all 23 years of independence of our country the ideals of the West Ukraine have been forcibly dominating – in direct or indirect form. And the people from S-E just have been living, working, and tolerating.
And yet for the past four years the president was from Donetsk and his Party of Regions, which has its electoral and financial base located primarily in the east and south-east of Ukraine, has held the most seats in parliament since at least 2006. How is this western domination?
Just because a view is from an “insider” doesn’t make it unbiased or more true. I know people inside Ukraine who feel exactly the opposite from this writer.
I’m also frankly tired of this whole “the west are Nazis” narrative. Any thinking person should question it based solely on how simplistic it is. If you care about the truth, research it yourselves from reputable sources. You can start here, or go deeper with a book like Ukraine: A History, by Orest Subtelny.
I've been reading this memoir by a German WW2 soldier (ethnically French):
http://www.amazon.com/The-Forgotten-Soldier-Guy-Sajer/dp/1574882864
He actually claims that his unit received a lot of hospitality in Ukraine(including friendly women). There was no such luck in Russia. It might be that some Ukrainians didn't suffer too much from the German conquest.
If you enjoy statistical analysis in this article you might like book Freconomics. It has two chapters dedicated to spotting fraud using statistical analysis.
While you were making fun of us, I studied the blade. Don't mess with me.
If you're going to study Ukraine for months, start with a proper history book or two.
Two good ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Ukraine-History-Orest-Subtelny/dp/1442609915/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1409106428&sr=1-1&keywords=subtelny
http://www.amazon.com/History-Ukraine-Revised-Land-Peoples/dp/1442610212/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1409106418&sr=1-1
Just on general searches for titles.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Frontline-Ukraine-Borderlands-Richard-Sakwa/dp/1784535273/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523461623&sr=8-1&keywords=ukraine+crisis

Titles like that are already a few years old.
who only 6 years ago would write books like this http://www.amazon.com/Ukraine-Became-Market-Economy-Democracy/dp/0881324272/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426367659&sr=1-1&keywords=9780881324273
Looks like something from Victoria Cross.
>What about this one? Airgun too? what is the make and model?
That is specifically a Crossman Vantage.
You can buy it on amazon for $109.
There's a whole book written about the subject, Innumeracy. Lots and lots of people don't understand numbers and how to interpret them, leading to all sorts of weird things.
A good read, from cover to cover.
Отлучная статья от ребят которые предсказывали какой-то конфликт на одной из границ Украины еше пару лет назад, почитайте. http://www.amazon.com/The-Next-100-Years-Forecast/dp/0767923057
Чуствую к завтра эту статью переведет Petr i Mazepa.
----------------
Very good article from people who predicted some kind of conflict within Ukraine borders couple of years ago. Their book is worth a read. http://www.amazon.com/The-Next-100-Years-Forecast/dp/0767923057
Have a feeling petrimazepa.com will translate it into Russian by tomorrow.
I would add to Ron Paul's praiseworthy opinion that NATO's encroachment upon Russia has provoked Putin to act upon Crimea. Obama's sanctions could very well escalate the conflict.
Similarly, Gore Vidal said in his short book, "Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got to Be So Hated." that the U.S.A. military based in Saudi Arabian holy territory had provoked Osama Bin Laden. http://www.amazon.com/Perpetual-War-Peace-How-Hated/dp/156025405X
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin - http://www.amazon.com/Bloodlands-Europe-Between-Hitler-Stalin/dp/0465031471/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394553680&sr=8-1&keywords=bloodlands+europe+between+hitler+and+stalin
