Peace is good. Russia is one of the largest brutal dictatorships today. Trump is just forcing the issue. In a bad way, but he is forcing the issue.

The hope is that Europe takes the lead and finishes the deal with substantial agreements to restore order.

I am not sure if Ukraine will get any land back. I am not sure if they want to get. Maybe get the people in each state to choose in some real referendums, somehow.

Europe needs stronger, larger militaries, or they can't offer anyone much of anything.

They're increasingly not even invited to the negotiating table.

Might makes right.

The real problem is not the land and never was. Ukrainians are totally fine to consider territories to be changed

The issue is that rusia is not after territories. And if Ukraine doesn’t get back territories and the aggressor doesn’t get severely punished — it will only incentivize him to double down after a break and a work on mistakes.

This is the hardest part politicians do not want to discuss — because the issue is much longer then their political career

I remember Crimean referendum with armed russian military by the voting booths. Fun times.
