I do not agree with everything that Russia does in its
foreign policy but I believe the treatment Britain and U.S.A meets out to
Russia is full of hypocrisy. The government of Syria was as legitimate as many
others in the Arab world and as such Russia is supporting them. All governments are anathema to me at some
point or another as they mostly end up serving their own interests even if they
don’t start out that way. Since Britain and U.S.A went into Iraq with no good
reason and made a huge mess of things so that the situation there is now worse
than at the beginning, they have no platform from which to criticize others.
I do not condone Russia
annexing Crimea, but how can we complain in Britain with all the years of
holding on to Northern Ireland. Yes
there are many in Northern Ireland who want to be British, but similarly in
Crimea there are a large number of people who have always considered themselves
Russian. I realize that at the moment I am in a Russian phase where I am
inclined to love everything Russian.
Obviously there are faults in every government throughout the
world. But my interest, this year, in
all things Russian has made me stop and think about what is really going on.
The West seems to verbally attack Russia at every opportunity. Surely a more friendly and positive approach
would be better.
