Nobody is giving up everything, what is given up at the moment is a strip of land in East Europe that could be claimed back via diplomatic arrangements as soon as Putin is gone.
- nickpp 5y agoThe west has been giving up stuff since Putin gained power. Nothing has been claimed back yet. And he won’t be gone any time soon. He has plenty of targets after Ukraine too, for example Moldova which already has a separatist Russian mole region inside. We are watching Hitler raising, not Stalin dying here.

- nickpp 5y agoI’d ask my friend in Kiev if he feels I am being hyperbolic but for some reason he’s not answering his messages right now.
