#1 This is not only second phase, it is lopsided, hook line and sinker. Just one week ago Russian media was expressing surprise at the lack of uprising and demonstartions in the Crimea over the ousting of Yanukovich. Notice the protests came after military assets moved into Crimea. On FSN commentators are talking about "Crimean fears of persecution" by the new Ukranian goverment. Seriously, who would threaten a cub when the mama bear is nearby? Finally, the tone and overall language of most print media is heavily Russia biased. Sochi envy or something more menacing? You decied.

Their aims are clear enough: to provoke a new wave of the crisis and rob people on the sly"

Some rob you with a six gun, some with a fountain pen.

#4 You, my friend, which you are not, are either misinformed or stupid. As we say in English, "you can't fix stupid".

#5 This started over a year ago in the Russian media, demonizing western oriented people as "fascists", and "right wing extremists". If anyone was paying attention, it's all there, just like the pretexting Putin did in Georgia. And our lapdog press runs it, uncritically, direct from the authoritarian mouthpieces. And you, dear public, are once again "knowing" a great many things that simply are not so. Not misinformed, but deliberately mal-informed.
