Gadaffi shot unarmed protesters. Ukraine is shooting at heavily armed Russian mercenaries.

You said they were almost entirely, so I`m waiting for more evidence of your claim !
And you said: "They are in the government aren`t they, so it is the government, no way to try and talk that right." Why do you keep changing your standards?
You`re now dodging the bullet, so you won`t have to come up with the proof. I have seen you do that before.
First affirm your claims, then we can talk about it.
Only when you can prove that the Kyiv government is Fascist.
The uncomfortable truth is that a sizeable portion of Kiev's current government -- and the protesters who brought it to power -- are, indeed, fascists.

Question for ya here: "Just WHO is paying for the mercenaries?"
A mercenary[1] is a person who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or a party to the conflict and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities by the desire for private gain."
A person employed to fight in an armed conflict who is not a member of the state or military group for which they are fighting and whose prime or sole motivation is private gain.
I didn't think there was enough money on the rebel side to afford mercs... Mercs can get rather expensive...what do they run these days...quarter or half a mil each per year?
And, actually the whole argument of the OP was settled late last year...when the EU said no compromise on the release of a specific criminal, and Ukraine Parliament refused. Hell, the old President didn't really have anything to do with it...
Anyway..."Who's paying for the Mercs?>

"Sizable" is a vague term 10-12% may be "sizable," but it does not make the government Fascist. On the other hand, this sort of behavior definitely isn't democratic:

The concern is that Ukraine is a war zone, and there is the possibility of a nuclear accident which could contaminate Europe.

Also, nuclear fuel in the war zone can easily land in the hands of bad people and backfire on the supplier itself.
West should be careful of what "new" mess they create in already messy situation.
Btw, even NATO refuses to conduct precision bombing in an area where civilians can be potentially hurt. In Junta's case using mass artillery on cities is outright stupid and cruel. They are getting away with it because it is not being given attention in the western media.

Private gain does not necessarily mean wages, does it?

Do your own research. You didn't even realize that the term BBS is often used to refer to any online forum or message board., or that LAMP IS a software bundle.
