I don’t believe Russia will ever give up Crimea.

I do believe putting the spotlight on it can help pressure Russia into backing down in mainland Ukraine. Just as Putin started the war in Ukraine to shift the focus away from Crimea, Trump can do the reverse as a way of prying Russia out of eastern Ukraine.

But, no, Russia will never give up Crimea.

Trump will succeed in countering Russian aggression in this respect. People keep saying he’s soft and a Russian syncophant, but I sincerely believe he’s playing Chess with Putin while Obama played checkers.
