You can’t stand against Russia—its too big—if they lose 2,000 they will just toss in 4,000. Best to make a deal with Putin-—Give him the land he wants—make it part of Russia to bring Order. Get russia to pay for it with Free Gas and trade. Do a deal—Maybe call in Donald Trump to make a deal and bring piece. Russia needs Ukraine. Trump might win a Noble Peace Prize for the deal.
Maybe others are not willing to make a deal to give away their freedom. We are not at Yalta.
