Hmmh, interesting implications for Poland's policy towards Belarus, and for an eventual pro-Russian Ukraine. Not to mention towards Russia itself. And I presume you just agreed that it is unacceptable for Syria or Lebanon to be anti Israeli, or for Serbia to be anti Kosovar or anti-Croat, or... the list can go on, and on.  

From a realpolitik perspective Putin's policy makes sense, but if you're going to look at it that way, then accept that Russia's neighbours will act accordingly.
