You can always blame a tree for being at a wrong place when smacking into it... 
...Name a country that does not act in its interests.
...When people really want control, they take it.
...Is there anybody that wouldn't support their business interests?
...Exiles??? 99% left for economic reasons - they really couldn't care less.
...Whining about policies is what we do best on the ringside, right, whitegost?
...how about blaming Russians for harsh retaliation against Germany?
...You mean UN resolutions...90% of those are not followed by anyone  - this organization is a mockery in its current form. 
  

To diffuse any situation step-by-step:

UN must be overhauled top-to-bottom and given extreme powers during crisis and immediate reaction for non-compliance with resolutions. All member countries must commit to such approach:
1. Resolutions must be followed, after given time for compliance and appeal, with sanctions, full diplomatic, economic and cultural (including tourism) boycott.
2. An independent multi-national crack force must be created.  Such a force will have a potent air force, navy with power to blockade and fully equipped army. Such a force must be created to enforce resolutions when all else fails. It should not be different countries supplying troops when needed, but a full-time army with its own infrastructure.
3. All territorial and other disputes should be put to an arbitration tribunal.  Only parties 100% acceptable to both sides must act as "judges".

Strong and potent UN is the only hope.   

 

Quite a voice, snipper, sure sounded like Eurithmics!

True, an unlikely dream for our generation at least.
Then again, if someone 20 years ago said that Soviet Union and Berlin Wall would fall or China would become world's biggest Capitalist power, the song would be
"i think they will take me away ha!ha!ha!ha!" (60s song about a nuthouse). 

Hey,

Don't mess with the Missionary Man ... (same album I think)....
