It would seem to me that letting those lines remain where they have been, would be the best resolution to the problem. Every time you redraw those lines, a new generation of people who don’t approve arise and become enemies.
The Ukraine’s borders have been accepted. Folks in the Eastern Ukraine were not openly demanding a return to Russia. For that matter the Crimeans weren’t either.
This is all about Vlad IMO.
I would suggest the people in the region have given thought to the borders. It would seem they were living in relative peace. What is really to be gained by stirring this hornet’s nest now? Once again the lines will move, and in a generation a new set of demands will be heard.
The idol in Danial whose feet were made of iron and clay, sure was accurate. Europe never seems to solidify.
I don’t disagree. I have no dog in the fight.
Just object to characterization of the borders in the area as being the equivalent of those in Western Europe and North America, where there are solid demographic, geographical and/or historical reasons why they are where they are. Eastern Europe, no such logical reasons apply.
