- dragonwriter 5y ago> There's a geostrategic logic behind where Russia wants their borders positioned. Yes, imperialism usually has a geostrategic logic. What it doesn't have is respect for the right of self-determination. > Your statement applies more to other countries in Europe Except you’ve literally just admitted that it is exactly the driving force for Russia.
- warner_of_doom 5y ago> What it doesn't have is respect for the right of self-determination. Did the US have any respect for self-determination in the 2014 putsch it backed in Ukraine?
- tim333 5y agoWell yeah, it backed the people over Russia in Euromaidan. That was kind of the point of the thing.
