You are assuming that the people in Donbas are opposed to Putin when in fact he is there to stop NATO's advance and to aid the Donbas in their fight for independence. It will be interesting to see when Russia Drives Ukraine out of the areas if he allows them their independence. Personally, I think he will as it would be a win win for Russia and the Donbas.
I am aware of that but still the Russian Military is in there and while you and I assume they will leave they are a super power albeit a far more civilized appearing power than what we deal with.

Who is assuming that the people in Donbas are opposed to Putin? Don't see that view expressed anywhere!
My apologies. I misconstrued part of what you were saying.
Peter: the people of the Donbass have already voted to eschew independence in favor of joining the Russian Federation. Happened quite a while ago.
