US proposes recognizing Crimea as Russian, and so rewarding Putin even more. “Invasion pays”, says Putin. “I agree”, says Xi Jinping, “the US is a paper tiger, like we’ve been saying for decades.”

This quote is a lie, either take it down or post the attribution.

Others here fully reject the notion of negotiating with Putin on any issue of importance based on there being no basis to trust him or the Russians to keep to their word.

If you are not necessarily in that camp, you must explore where the cards may lay, to evaluate where concessions by the U.S. are possible.

In any event, the U.S. Senate in its power of ratification should be prepared here to vote a full-blown treaty either up or down.

The war will end, peace will ensue, and people will live.

These will be good things.
