As Václav Havel used to say, the problem with Russia is that it does not know where exactly it ends.

There's a geostrategic logic behind where Russia wants their borders positioned.

Your statement applies more to other countries in Europe, IMO.

Yes, imperialism usually has a geostrategic logic.

What it doesn't have is respect for the right of self-determination.

Except you’ve literally just admitted that it is exactly the driving force for Russia.

Did the US have any respect for self-determination in the 2014 putsch it backed in Ukraine?

Well yeah, it backed the people over Russia in Euromaidan. That was kind of the point of the thing.

LOL. OMG. Please look more closely into it. It was undemocratic by a long shot.
