Most of the people who live in a Ukraine are Russian. Here’s an idea for the crisis there:
Agree to keep Ukraine and Georgia out of NATO.
Alternatively offer Russia full membership in both the EU and NATO.
Declare an end to all European armed conflict, relying completely on rule of law and diplomacy within Europe.
Watch China freak out…
Heh…the Democrats and the American deep state bureaucracy would freak out worse than China.
First, the Russkies are doing military training with the Chinese, even sailing their navy with the Chinese a mile or two off the Japanese coast. They've also recently put up anti-ship missiles just a mile or two off of Japan on disputed Islands, just as China was threatening to nuke them. The message is clear.
Russia and China have declared that the West will never be able to 'divide them," and have made it clear they are allies.
Both countries have been working on obtaining nuclear missile dominance with the United States targeted as the primary enemy. Hence why Trump left the INF, since the Russians are building weapons that were illegal under the treaty (as they do with every treaty). He was also attempting to set the ball rolling on modernizing our own nukes.
Nothing we do is ever going to make Russia side against China. They've been allies since Soviet times, even during the fraudulent Sino-Soviet split (as testified to by KGB defectors).
Two, nothing we say or do is going to stop Russia from launching war against Ukraine. Military preparations for this invasion have been going on since last year. Troops have been massing for months into areas prepared for staging some time ago. Everything that is being said and demanded is simply smokescreen to gaslight the West--and some gullible FReepers--into thinking Slow Joe started the war himself.
We will be lucky if we are not hit by a surprise nuclear strike from Russia and China. HOPEFULLY it only ends with Russia taking Ukraine and China taking Taiwan. I imagine, Russia's other ally, Iran, will make moves at the same time too, in order to maximize chaos.
