Who’s to say he can’t view the dispute through any other lens? Here’s a radical possibility for you: perhaps he’s studied the conflict, with due regard to points of view and ways of construing it, and presents here conclusions that are well founded but perhaps differ from yours.

I’d dearly love to know where you got your lens, incidentally, if only to ensure I never buy one by mistake. Your readiness to construe the violent separatist insurgencies in the Donbas as legitimate issues of self determination Ukraine should just live with is troubling, to say the least. Personally I think it’s awfully naive, but the I know you’ll simply dismiss that as a product of my Western lens.

LOL also at your brazen attempt to comment on only those aspects of the unfolding crisis that suit your obsessions. Go on, how about you offer an opinion on the Russian invasion. I’d be genuinely interested to hear it.
