But your wife is Russian and lives here in a safe place and you are siding with destroying an entire country because you hate 2,000 of its people?

No, I've made my position pretty clear.

As I've said, I have a dog in this fight, unlike most here who couldn't find Ukraine on a map as of three weeks ago.

1.) Ukraine surrenders Crimea, which has belonged to Russia since the 1780s, land that was won in battle, land that Ukraine has never had a legitimate claim to control.

2.) Ukraine honor the independence of the Donbas. Pull back the Azov Nazis. Stop the ethnic cleansing that has occurred since 2014.

Yes, Ukraine will be little bit smaller but do you really care? I certainly don't.

Thank you.

Sorry you had to dumb it down for me but I apparently needed a Russian vs Ukrainian lesson.

Your explanation was very good.

The thing about territorial claims going back a hundred or hundreds of years I have to admit I find difficult to support some of the claims, not all just some.

A lot of my attitude regarding such disputes has to do with our own country.

Of course I’m referring to Native American Lands.
Which, because of wars and being overpowered they lost most of those lands.
The Wampanoag for example, their ancestral home is Martha’s Vineyard.

That happens throughout history in all regions.

I do support Israel’s claims 100% for example.

So I’m not an expert in Ukrainian/Russian history so much (just more recent events) you gave me much to think about.

Thank you for the education.
Have a great evening.
