Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

Former US ambassador to the Soviet Union:

What's clearly not possible is Russia walking away victorious. Even a clear battlefield victory over the Ukrainian Army leaves the Russians involved in a costly and sapping insurgency. It's almost like they've never read about Vietnam or either war in Afghanistan -- one of which saw themselves evicted after eight years of it, and led to the dissolution of the USSR -- a fact which cannot be far from Putin's attention.

As for the Minsk Agreements, they would not have been needed had not the Russians attacked then. You're advocating appeasement, and probably in cause of an agenda.

Not to mention Ukraine can join NATO if it wants to. Russia gets no say in the matter. And the Donbas is part of Ukraine and doesn't get any autonomy no nation would put up with such a loss of autonomy. As I said this ambassador has some loopy ideas and is essentially the modern Chamberlain.
