Russia's actions are on open display. They are not just my projections.
What do you want from me? You will hardly find too many people in the West seing Russis as unemotional and rational and non-moralising as I try to do. Most Westerners expect Russia to act to its disadvantage and to act stupid and harming its own interests (as defined by Russia) and national claims. I don't waste your and my time with voicing such demands. And sometimes I take quite some fire for this sober attitude - from Westerners. So for them, I am too Russia-friendly. For Russians and for you, I am not pro-Russian enough.
My favourite place with plenty of space for myself - between all seats.
