Russia owns Ukraine, basically.

I believe if we (America) push Russia too hard, they will push back.

Just my opinion.

I don’t know, am not there, and have no inside information. But I think both sides should climb down.

You are like the guy who is awakened in the middle of the night by a violent rape taking place outside his bedroom window. He thinks, "If I offer any assistance, the rapist might push back. Both sides should simply stand down."

Excellent advice!
