No, my logic means the the russians still have a claim to the land that is modern day ukraine just like indian tribes had claim to land that is now the United States.
Now, how do you think that disputed claim was settled? It was called the Indian wars and the indians lost. However, the winners ceded some land to those indian tribes, now called reservations that have lots of casinos, but took most of it.
So, here we are again with war as a way to decide a disputed claim.
Look up the quote, “The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must.” It defines how humans roll throughout history.
Fine. It’s appeasement.
If it goes nuclear, you can stand proud on your principles.
You can tell your children the reason why the world is starting over was because we didn’t appease Russia through small swaps of land and population exchanges.
*shrug
Calm down. It’s not going nuclear.
Indians own land in the US. Just like anyone else.
You sound like a leftist who believes in tribalism, diversity and division and exploitation.
Trump is right—Only Land for peace works at this point. Go to the table and talk for the following reasons.
1. Stop the killing!
2. Re-group and rearm if treaty fails.
3. Start the rebuilding. Put up monuments to the fallen.
4. Work the best deal possible (Ukraine keeps Odessa)
5. Ukraine doesn’t join NATO but perhaps the EU?
6. Open pipelines to pay for the rebuilding.
7. Open border so the Ukraine people in the new Russian lands can go to Ukraine, and Russian people can move to “NovoRus”.
DO IT NOW Before it slips into WW III.
Okay, you’re a Canadian Zeeper.
That pretty much explains everything.
