It’s the only solution that makes sense.
And, pre-emptively, there are no cogent comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Sudetenland. So, Freepers and Zeepers, please don’t offer any.
That is all. As you were.
“play a roll” ?
The group picture taken after the meeting was grim.
I read somewhere that Macron wanted Europe to have seat if there were a three way meeting between Trump, Z, and Putin.
Giving up territory implies that you have it to begin with. Ukraine gave up territory over the past several years. Trump is just recognizing a reality and telling Ukraine and Europe to stop living in a fantasyland where Ukraine can have its old borders.
Yeah well l trust nothing l see from the Trump hating a-holes at The Mail.
Daily Mail...too many fake news stories...ignore
Wherever, whenever the final line is drawn there should be opportunity for those who’d rather end up on the other side of the line to shift sides and take their belongings (I suppose there’d be some limit, but ideally one greater than the “all you can personally carry” limit post WWII migrations.) And the receiving side should have a veto on their migration. Letting this happen is in Ukraine’s interest as if Russia says again in the future, “there are a bunch of people on their other side of the border who want to be with use so we’re going to take their land” Ukraine can point out they’d turned down the chance to join Russia before.
We did it to Yugoslavia, bombed he cr@p out of them, then split it up to ethnic origins. It worked with them , and will work fine in Ukraine.
This whole sequence of meetings has the feel of a scripted reality show. Trump the Nobel Prize earner.
Z-ski should take the deal and do the trilateral meeting.(no euro-weenies). This peace process is likely to take more than one meeting. It was good that there were no major public spats today.(Trump should have slapped yapper Merz for yapping ceasefire-no future invites for him)This went better than expected like the Alaska summit. Hope war ends soon.
Ukraine has only one way to get any land back and that’s to take it back by force.
