Self-interested. Like every other (sovereign) state.

  Not bad - but it’s a very accommodating description for actions which are unlike the behaviour of other states in recent times. Self-interest also implies that it works for Russia. It very clearly hasn’t, and could undo the regime. The level of violence and aggression is like some mid/late 20th century empire building BS.

    What is your definition of 'recent times'? It's the US that took out international law and beat it to death in sight of the entire world.

    > Self-interest also implies that it works for Russia. define "works". there's a big divide in the World on this war, it could be considered a victory for Putin, he made friends fight over it, turned allies into adversaries and made enemies even more suspicious of each other. We are at a peak high level of conflict, like we haven't seen in decades.
