    Novorossiya is not a territory - it's a Republic. Imo, the Peoples Republic of Donetsk and the Peoples Republic of Lugansk both have the same right to self-determination that the Ukraine has. So if the Ukraine expects to have the right to self-determination then it must also give that right to those Republics.
    The war against self-determination needs to end. It should have ended when the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic was formed.
    Imo, the will of the people is way more important than terretorial integrity. But that's just me.
    You do realize though that the Democratic Party of the States doesn't define democracy? I even find it pretty funny, but I view the Republicans as way more democratic than the Democrats. =)) But maybe that's just me.

    How far can self-determination go? Can a single person self-determine themselves and live in a separate country? What if some people within a self-determining group don't want the determination the rest want? Can every nationality of the several dozens that Russia has self-determine themselves and get split off of Russia? What are the limits?

    Why do you view that?

    Doesn't developed American democracy have answers on these questions? Hasn't had it expirience like Kosovo?
