“Ukraine is sovereign. If it asks for allied forces to be on its territory, it’s not something for Russia to accept or not,” Macron said in a joint interview with several French regional newspapers published late on Saturday.

    See that’s the word Russia is against. “Sovereign.”

    Sovereign: One that exercises supreme, permanent authority, especially in a nation or other governmental unit, as.

    Putin, in his glorious mind, thinks that the only sovereign is the Kremlin. Belarus, Hungary, formerly Ukraine and now the US are all vassal states to him.

    Why? Who the fuck knows. Maybe it’s because his $100m (or whatever it’s value is) is pretty damn sad looking for a mansion, and the Western world endlessly mocks his lack of true luxury.

    Maybe it’s because so much money is frozen in other countries. Maybe it’s because he has a developmental disorder and is incapable of seeing value in human beings. Maybe it’s because he’s Russian, and things are a bit different there.

    Sovereign nations do as they please. In his mind it translates to his wealth being cutoff, because that’s what sovereign nations do. Not that the wealth is cut off because of his actions. To him, he is never wrong. So then every sovereign nation must be wrong.
