Oliver Stone once said in an interview to Pozner, that he is not pro-Russian, but pro-American. And that is true, as Oliver Stone has the characteristics of Sakharov and Solzhenicin, who strongly criticized Soviet Union, but were not anti-Russian.
In the article above, there were several comments from reader "Paveway IV". What I liked about them is that he managed to keep a neutral ground, something that is difficult to do in these charged times. I'd like to quote them here:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-02/oliver-stones-new-movie-ukraine-cia-coup-coming-theater-near-you#comment-5618239Ukraine is in a very interesting postion today, militarily speaking. The government does not represent Ukraine or the average Ukrainian, so the average Ukrainian has no desire to fight for them OR kill any other Ukrainians FOR their supposed government. Ukraine mass-media blew the whole flag-waving promotion thing because Ukrainians don't equate their flag or nation with the CIA-plants, NATO stooges, Jewish-Ukrainian oligarchs, neo-Nazis, Rothschild bankers and assorted foreigners that currently make up their government.
And you're not going to get a lot of ethnic-Russian or Russian-speaking soldiers to go out and kill other Ukrainians simply BECAUSE they're ethnic-Russians or Russian-speaking and/or don't like Kiev. That's like 2/3rds of the country. The Ukrainian Army would have turned on their government by now if the interior ministry thugs weren't better armed than them.
That's why the current CIA stooges running Ukraine are relying on
- Gangs of armed nationalist (neo-Nazi) thugs who fight for their own ends
- Private armies for pay - mercs - of the Jewish-Ukrainian oligarchs protecting their wealth and influence
- Blackwater/Xe/Academi/Greystone homicidal psychopaths that kill for fun and pay - usually for NATO
- Poles, Bulgarians, Latvians and any other unemployed and otherwise willing East Europeans
- The few Ukrainian conscripts that don't immediately dessert when assigned to the Anti-Terror Operations (ATO) area - the Donbass.
The separatists are not in much better shape - they're increasingly fighting for destroyed urban areas that nobody is ever planning on returning to. There is no infrastructure, no jobs, no pensions, no schools, no nothing. There's no reason to rebuild. The cities that are still standing are taken over by assorted criminal gangs, thugs and crazy mercs, plus the occasional aid shipment from Russia. The separatists may have won against Kiev, but their 'prize' is basically the Ukrainian version of modern-day Detroit. Anyone who did care about the place left a long time ago and is never coming back.
ZATO is insanely pissed. How can they start WWIII against Russia in Ukraine when neither Ukrainian side really exists and Putin isn't taking the bait? Everyone is on to the whole false-flag thing - that's not going to work anymore. This is bad for me, personally, because it means ZATO will have to rely on the worst possible option: move a bunch of missles close enough to Russia to force Putin to act. Once again, I have to rely on Putin to out-maneuver ZATO without resorting to Topol-Ms. One of these times, I won't be so lucky.
About fracking:
Shell even (supposedly) gave up on that for now - its not worth it. Shell has a secret fifty-year exploration and production license, so they'll just sit back and wait until the ethnic cleansing is complete and oil prices recover. I'm guessing by spring or summer of 2015 per suggestions that they could only hold oil prices down until around then.
Turning the Dnieper-Donbass basin into a depopulated, bombed-out hell-hole will make it all the easier when Shell and does go back (and they will). They need to dig up a lot of farms and throw the people out of a lot of little villiages otherwise. Dead or permanently fleeing citizens save them the trouble. Hell, even Poland is offering to 'take back' ethnic Poles living in the Donbass. If it looks like the Ukraine war is a stalemate, that's because it IS - on purpose. The residents need to be driven out like rats before the fracking can start.

Israel, of course, always has their American tax-dollar funded import-a-jew program going full steam. Kind of makes sense why Israel is so quiet about Nazis running around Kiev - if the war results in new Jewish settlers to drive out Palistinians, then what's a few dead goy?
Many of those who left Donetsk, Luhansk and other rebel centers in Donbass for Israel “will never come back to Ukraine because in that particular area they will never have peace,” he said, again comparing the region to Gaza.

Odd because there's just not that much cheap, recoverable gas in the Dnieper-Donbass basin. There's plenty of expensive, recoverable gas - that's about it.
A response to a phrase:
"...Your nazi friends in Kiev are IN POWER..."
I disagree completely, angel_of_joy.
The nationalist parties in Kiev have almost no power and have never done well politically. They do pretty much run state security out of the interior ministry and make up much of the Kiev city police, but in both cases that's by design of the current criminal oligarchs to protect their own power and loot in Kiev. Pravy Sector and Svaboda are never going to win any elections, so they settled (for now) with running what is effectively the Ukrainian Stazi. They see this as a gateway to further their power and influence in Ukraine - they're not doing it out of any love or admiration for the current disposable Ukraine government. Likewise, the current Ukrainian leaders protected by the new state police ultimately see their Stazi as disposable. Useful bodyguards and muscle for now, but kept on a very short leash and ultimately liquidated when they're no longer of use to TPTB. You know that's not going to end well - it never does.
rvborgh makes a good point about the existence of separatist ultra-nationalists. They're harder to identify as 'Nazi' because they're aligned with Russian interests, but they are psychopathic ultra-nationalists all the same. A lot of the original separatist fighters have deserted directly because of the presence and influence of these ultra-nationalists on 'their' side.
It's one thing to defend your home, farm or village from Kiev's troops. It's another thing entirely to carry on what amounts to a gang war of attrition between Ukrainian state thugs and separatist ultra-nationalist thugs for no discernible benefit beyond 'owning' a depopulated and ethnically-cleansed Ukrainian Detroit. Putin is right to support ethnic Russians in the Donbass the best he can while distancing himself from the current pro-Russian separatists and their questionable motives. He would rather let the ultra-nationalists (pro-Russian or not) be Ukraine's problem, not his.
In the light of the above, many know that I called Ukrainian National Guard for "Nazional Guard". That was done to show derisive attitude to what they were doing. Now the term can be used in earnest.
As of yesterday, the military branch of Right Sector has officially become the 55th battalion of the Nazional Guard. After training they will be dispatched to Donetsk.
Oh, and Minsk agreements are down the drain... Yesterday Kiev's forces shelled Donetsk 20 times! Both events show that the Kiev coup government has got a green light from their Washington handlers to further escalate the conflict.
