Tibet offers nothing to the Powers that be...so there's no interest.... Unfortunately their religion and focus on “Being Happy’ rather than developing their people and country, left them uneducated and unfortunately unable to do more than menial work....if that. Many cannot read or write. They are dependent on India as a welfare group...and those under China's rule are fast becoming extinct.
There is "little Tibet" they could go to if they wanted to really be independent....but the youth prefer the cities because they have no interest in being farmers, as they exist as that in "Little Tibet" for the most part.
They will never have a country again...even the Dali Lama has stated that and has stepped down from being a political leader.
One thing I will say for Tibetans. They did not try to play McCain and others into supporting them.
I am so tired of eager puppets these days.
Can we not get a decent leadership in place here before we worry about Putin?
