Geopolitics is banditism in nice clothes>nations band together>they act like a mafia or a cartel>they extract advantages by threat of business damage, threats of violence or actual violence>completely lawless, "international law" is only brandished when it's advantageous to your mafia>billion dollar contracts between nations get broken like they were never bindingSo to answer your question, it's all about which mafia you associate with. Kosovo and Ukraine are on the side of the western mafia, Donetsk and Cuba are on the side of the eastern mafia. One mafia will never do anything nice for an associate of the enemy.
