    Or Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.

    Giving concessions to Nazi Germany is how the world let WWII happen in the first place. Russia has been allowed to fuck around for far too much. They should have been stopped when they invaded Georgia. Letting them have parts of Ukraine will only give them time to regroup and possibly invade either Ukraine again or some other nation.

    before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.

    Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?

      People aren’t property, you don’t get to keep them just because you own them. They have self determination.

      No, it’s theirs, which is why I want them to have a choice! I’m the one that wants to let them choose whether they join Russia or stay with Ukraine. You’re the one that wants to hold them against their will if they truly want to leave.

      I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want. Why do you not want the same?

        They want more guns and bullets. I wonder why?

          Zelenski wants guns and bullets. What do the People want? Do Crimeans want the US to give Ukraine more guns and bullets? Or do they not count for some reason?
