Great, another American urging Ukrainians to be complicit in the dismemberment of their own nation. Chamberlain would approve. You make me sick. RE: Russia and Ukraine

Ignoring that it's a fundamentally shit plan, it's a shit plan on it's own grounds, since russia already demonstrated that it would not abide by any such agreement when it wiped it's ass with the minsk agreement before the ink could dry.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ending the war by having Ukraine cede territory to Russia is morally equivalent to thanking a man for handing you a bandage after he stabs you.

Quote:KYIV, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Russian forces are likely to abandon their foothold on the west bank of Ukraine's Dnipro River, a Russian-installed occupation official said on Thursday, signalling a massive Russian retreat that, if confirmed, would be a major turning point in the war. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/gra...022-10-31/ I don't know how the Russians can stand all this victory. On a serious note, if confirmed this is great news, as it will relieve pressure on Odessa and the grain shipments. RE: Russia and Ukraine

They've been looting the city for weeks. For those unschooled in russian gobbledygook, this is "preparing the city for urban combat". You know, gotta remove all the double pane insulated windows and ship them to a safe place until the battle is over. The toilets aren't nazis, why should they suffer? Then..there's the sweet...sweet washing machines. No washing machine left behind.

Because sometimes it's OK for a large country to dominate a smaller one and wreck its economy, the US continues to uphold economic sanctions on Cuba.
The UN votes against this regularly. This time only the US and Israel (that well-known beacon of human rights) voted in favor of the sanctions, with Brazil and Ukraine abstaining. Strange that Ukraine thinks it's OK for a larger country to dominate a small one. All other member states voted against. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/c...022-11-03/ Just in case the goals of the sanctions are unclear, here is the original document laying out their purpose. https://history.state.gov/historicaldocu...60v06/d499 Quote:denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government. Emphasis on "hunger and desperation" added. 
The irony of a country (US) that would never cede telling another country to cede is quite apparent.

Your whole argument however is a massive tu quoque. America's policy on Cuba in no way makes Russia's policies on Ukraine okay....
