I promise I won't break anything if you'll stop clutching your pearls. Deal?

Trump or the US was never going to resolve this. UK & EU must feel the War 

That sort of bravery is needed and not US or Trump 

 

   Fight it out between the two of you and don't get others involved

Bull.

Trump tried to bully Ukraine to surrender.

He's a disgrace.

No bullying involved, just offering a way to end it, before the USA, stops supporting UA.

 

And if wanting any other help, for whatever, defense or rebuilding, it won't be free.   Take or leave it.

 

It's Europe's problem now, as it always should have been.  USA should have never got involved in the first place.

 

You're on your own now ... Good Luck :cheesy:

Why must the Ukraine give up on the territories annexed by Russia?

 

Because YOU say so. It is NOT your land, territory or people. 

 

Because Trump says so? It is NOT his land, territory or people either?

 

Nor does it belong to Russia either.

 

It belongs to the Ukraine.

 

Perhaps the USA should give ALL its territory back to the native Americans and the Mexicans that they stole it from?

 

That would be equally fair though I doubt that you would agree with that.

Maybe you should look at a little history.  Look at the history of the region.  It's not as if the country of Ukraine has existed forever within borders etched in stone.  

 

One upon a time, what is now Kiev was the capital of Kievan Rus’, a slavic state and the ancestor of what is now Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.  More recently, Ukraine was a creation of Russia, over the years, but that occurred in stages beginning in 1919, based on a number of factors.  That's how Ukraine came to be.  Russia drew the map and created the borders.  Its existence as a separate country was recognized in 1991, following  the dissolution of the Soviet Union.  The history of Crimea is even more convoluted, but was recognized, internationally, as part of Ukraine after the breakup of the Soviet Union. 

 

So we have a part of the world in flux, over the years.  Now Crimea is back in Russia's hands.  Nothing new. 

 

I'm pretty sure starting WW III over Crimea would be a dumb thing to do. I also think that about 8 billion people (or whatever the world population is these days) would agree with me.

No  you already started it with you bs comment. I would like you to just once provide the facts you base your nonsensical claims on, if you can. I suspect you can't and you'll deflect and gaslight like you are already doing. 

Sure, what would be called the "Ukraine" would by conterminous with historical Halych. 

 

All the rest is Hapsburg/Polish/Russian.
