I'm saying they defended Russian people that would rather be living in Russian territory. Warmongers be damned!

Lol, you completely forgot about the little green men affair when Russia absolutely denied they were invading the Donbas and all was just local militias fighting for independence, right?
You've been played by Russian propaganda, and seems to be liking it.
In the 1991 independence vote, all Ukrainian regions voted for independence. In Donbas, the approval was 84%!
In the last census (2001), about 58% of Donetsk/Luhansk inhabitants indicated Ukrainian ethnicity, in comparison to 38% for Russian ethnicity.
What if Donbass took a tour of independent Ukraine and changed their mind, especially as Kiev crowds have ousted the president that they all voted for?
Granted, he wasn't any good, but he was likely the best one Ukraine will ever have, and now has no chance of it ever catching up with 2013.
I'm genuinely not sure why you think people can't change their mind. After all, they also voted "Yes" on Gorbachev's "reform and keep the USSR" referendum a year before that.

Yeah no different to Hitler taking the Sudetenland really. Pity to see such flagrant ethnofascism here.
