What an incredible statement of yours. You are basically claiming that Russia has the right to change the government in any country that once belonged to the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union and that these nations can never decide their fate. This is quintessential imperialism.
Why are defending Russia so intensely? Russia has always had a despotic government. It has no tradition of free political institutions. How can someone who supposedly loves the concepts of limited government and the separation of powers defend Russian despotic imperialism? Why do you view everything only from the Russian perspective? Why don’t you ask Russia’s neighbors what they think about Russia?
“Why are defending Russia so intensely?” should have been “Why are you defending Russia so intensely?”
Unfortunately your entire post could be said of the US and how countries see our Administration and how we operate....and they do.
“Why are defending Russia so intensely?”
Since when am I ‘defending’ Russia? I’m simply explaining why they’re acting in this way. The Neocons might as well get used it, as it looks to be a new set of rules on their part.
