There is also something I have never understood with the western logic. How is it that any nationalities under Russian domination are automatically supported in their quest to escape Russian domination, but somehow Russian nationalities under domination of newly minted states dont enjoy the same support for their bids for Independence?
The Ukrainians were once upon a time under Russian domination, and with the fall of the Soviet Union gained Independence. With the support of the west. But this new Ukraine also has a chunk of ethnic Russians within its borders, how come they are supposed to just accept ethnic Ukrainian suzerainty? Are bids for independence legitimate only if they are against Russia, but illegitimate if it is by minorities under Ukraine?
