“My neighbor, who I thought was my friend, negotiated the deal.”

The same tired, old, stupid analogy from you. At least you’re coming back to openly hating President Trump. And Zelensky has always hated Trump and never considered him a friend.

So, because Trump was wronged and the dems were crooked, Ukraine should be abandoned to be taken over by Russia?

You’re putting the cart before the horse, but yes, if the crooked Dems hadn’t orchestrated the Maidan Revolution in ‘14.

“My neighbor came over my property last week and took over 20% of my lot.

He wants to negotiate and swap land with me. He gets to keep the 20% he already occupies of my land, in exchange for not taking more of my land.”

Land has been taken by force for all of human history. It’s only held by force as well. If you don’t have the means to keep your neighbor from taking your land then you never really owned it to begin with.

The Russian federation in 1994 and 2004 accepted the boundary with Ukraine and agreed to respect them.

The Ukrainians fear that if Putin gets land now, he will come back again 8n a few years for more.

They thought he would be satisfied with the land he grabbed in 2014, but then he came back for more

The difference is that we stopped that in 1945.

If you open the door to grabbing land by force, you open up a can of worms, returning us yo internecine warfare
