There is everything wrong with defending strategic assests abroad and denying it. And that is the way Russia has adopted of late.

And the second wrong with it is defining what is "abroad". The current government of Russia seems to be at a loss when defining the boundaries of their own realm often including into it lands and peoples others (including those very lands and peoples) consider to be outside of it.
