The Long Reach of Putinismo
The West disapproves, but Russia's leader has international admirers.

It turns out that Vladimir Putin has more admirers around the world than
you might expect for someone using a neo-Soviet combination of violence
and the big lie to dismember a neighboring sovereign state. Russia's
strongman garners tacit support, and even some quiet plaudits, from some
of the world's most important emerging powers, starting with China and
India.
.
During a recent visit to China, I kept being asked what was going on in
Ukraine, and I kept asking in return about the Chinese attitude to it.
Didn't a country that has so consistently defended the principle of
respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of existing states
(be it former Yugoslavia or Iraq), and that has a couple of prospective
Crimeas (Tibet, Xinjiang), feel uneasy about Russia simply grabbing a
chunk of a neighboring country?
.
Well, came the reply, that was a slight concern, but Ukraine was a long
way away and, frankly speaking, the positives of the crisis outweighed the
negatives for China. The United States would have another strategic
distraction (after Al Qaeda, Afghanistan and Iraq) to hinder its "pivot"
to the Asia-Pacific region and divert its attention from China.
Cold-shouldered by the West, Russia would be more dependent on a good
relationship with Beijing. Ukraine sells China higher-grade military
equipment than Russia has been willing to share with its great Asian ally,
but the new Ukrainian authorities have quietly assured the Chinese that
Beijing's failure to condemn the annexation of Crimea would not affect
their future relations. What's not to like in all that?

Obviously this is not the immediate issue on the ground in Ukraine, but it
is another big vista opened up by the East European crisis. In this
broader, geopolitical sense, take note: As we go deeper into the 21st
century, there will be more Ukraines.
