it’s too bad that china, pakistan, india, canada, US, georgia, serbia, et al have problems w. folks that want to have independence from such countries and empires.
actually, all of these lands do not have problems w. their respective separatists, they actually choose to have separatist problems.
they vote against independence for kosovo on basis of their own selfishness and not on any panhumanly desirable/necessary principle.
at our present panhuman development, it is natural, as it had been for ages, for birds of a feather to flock together; ie, for folks to be strongly ehnocentric.
objecting to independence for tibet, kosovo, turkestan, punjab, assam, baluchistan, quebec, hawaii, et al, is opposed because of the greed, delusion of grandeur, hatred, tu quo qui attitude, revenge, etc., of the master race.
there is no stone in space that proclaims that once a coquest or acquisition of land by any means has taken place that such acquisitions must be honored for ever.
if this continues, we’l see more violence.
i can see that a folk can’t separate from another humanely; it can be, tho, accopmlished politico-diplomatically.
every human is potentially autonomous/interdependent. i do not see why then some ethnoses cannot have that w.o. being forced to use terrrorism or military action.
however, master folks restrict their subject people’s autonomy while at the same time decrease their interdependence; ie, makes then dependent.
kosovo autonomy had been abrogated by serbia in the eighties. that, to me, means casus belli.
serb reason? as always, serbs r prosecuted for only being serbs.
just like ashkenazim. they too r persecuted for merely being ashkenazic.
neither serbs nor socalled jews have ever done wrong. thnx

This is a very good analysis. Two small comments. European and Muslim countries are “strange bedfellows” only to American eyes. Europe’s relations with the Muslim world have always been better than America’s, essentially because Europe does not have America’s all-consuming focus on Israel. Secondly, the Tartus naval base. I don’t see why Russia would need or want a naval base in the Mediterranean or anwhere else outside its own area, for that matter. The Ukrainian base dates from Soviet times and Russia has no really good port on its small Black Sea coast. Having seen the US destroy itself trying to police the globe and the Soviet Union destroy itself by trying to spread its ideology around the globe, I find it hard to imagine that democratic Russia would fall into such an obvious trap.
