Isn't Russia's View of the World a Good Idea?

Rowsi: It's hard for us to try, in the first place, to de mystify the conflict. But i think making sense of the kremlins perspective on this is essential - and we might eventually get out. The west cannot ever agree to this particular perspective, because that's really not what we believe absolutely. We think that countries should be able to make those choices. And frankly, the more you know that the big state essentially thinks it's up to the big state to decide what you can and what you cannot do,. That speaks in favor of then taking on a defensive posture in the way that we have seen.
