    People are looking at it from a moral perspective, which is admirable and good but does nothing to explain why it’s happening or how to stop it. Geopolitics is about power, not morals. I wish it weren’t so but that’s the world we live in. When you look at it through the eyes of power, it will still be complicated but it will be honest and constructive.
