Putin’s a globalist? Who knew?
So the statists and progressives of the EU and Washington attempted to wrest Georgia and the Ukraine out of the orbit of Russia - and failed.
The Washington Post does NOT approve.
Well, Obama isn’t winning any friends for us anywhere among our allies.

We need a slap in the face and wake up. Thanks Putin.
Thought that happened in 2008 under Bush’s watch?
And why on earth - after seeing US foreign policy in [in]action for the past seven years, would Georgia or any other country gravitate to the US as an ally?
Asked if he had a message for Vladimir Putin, Kvirikashvili said that, "Russia should honor Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty." "This is the main entry condition to be met by the Russian side in order to start normal relations with Russia," he said. "Honestly, we don't see enough political will today in (the) Russian leadership to resolve this crisis, but despite all that, we have (a) longstanding tradition of… relations with Russia, and I don't think that we need to scratch out everything," Kvirikashvili added. "Culturally, Georgians, we are Europeans, we are a European country," Kvirikashvili also said during the interview. On Friday the Georgian government announced that Kvirikashvili had met with NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg while at Davos. The two parties discussed issues relating to Georgia becoming a NATO member, according to the prime minister's press office.
Putin is making steady progress on his goal of eventually expanding the Eurasian Union to include the entire post-Soviet space.

You kidding me? The world is watching Europe disintegrate under oppressive political correctness, of course some of the eastern states are going to resist and look to Putin.
I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of the decade the Russian Federation sucks up through mutual agreement several past Soviet block nations ditching the European Union.
