Germany don't want Kaliningrad because they have direct access to the sea already.
Many European territories were kingdoms won, owned and transferred between them.
Why do you think so many of Germany and France's kingdoms were spread around non contiguous regions?
Kaliningrad was handed over to the Soviet Union as a result of an agreement among the allies. That it belongs to Russia is accepted.
- konschubert 4y agoLast time I checked Russia also had access to the Sea without Crimea. You clearly have some framework of what "is accepted" in terms of territory and what isn't. Somehow Kaliningrad is valid, but Crimea isn't. I am not going to change your mind, but let me say this for the others who are reading here: None of this matters. Some time in the 20th century, most of the world agreed to stop trying to expand their territory and accept the borders as they were at the time. This led to prosperity, safety and peace. Russia is breaking this contract, creating suffering and hardship.

Like how Crimea was handed over to the Ukrainians by the Soviet Union That Crimea belongs to Ukraine is accepted. Russia made a huge mistake pushing further, not many people seemed to do anything when Russia took Crimea, but now it sure looks like they could lose badly enough and lose Crimea itself, and by that their black sea fleet entirely.
