Well written! Yes, the self determination argument there is strong, and I've been upset that it has been ignored by most. And I would say that the self determination argument also applies to the South Ossetians, whose plight was at the center of "PUTIN'S OTHER SUPER EVIL WAR" in Georgia back in the 2000s. BTW, I'm not saying he's a saint or anything, just that their more in the right than their opponents are in those two cases....

Solid and fact based analysis and conclusions. If one is willing to set aside all the pro-western propaganda and lies, and is instead willing to just read and listen to Putin, one can make the case that he is the most learned, thoughtful, and serious national leader on the planet.

Can anyone even imagine a current western leader attempting to talk about any serious problem in the world with the depth of understanding that Putin displays almost daily?

If any western leader attempted to debate him on any topic, he'd eat them alive, and make them look like school children by comparison.
