> Crimea and Donbas should be forfeited in a diplomatic matter to settle further tensions.
This vaguely reminds me of the appeasement of WW2. Why should Ukraine give up territories instead of Russia when pursuing for peace? Ukraine didn't invade Russia.
> It's also painfully ironic, that in early 2022 we accused russia of "war crimes" for using cluster munitions and this week just signed over hundreds of cluster munitions to ukraine...
Is Ukraine planning on using those munitions on Russian civilians? It's not like the US has a moral ground on war crimes but giving munitions to an ally is not the same thing as a war crime.
> If anything, this is a failure of American and Western geopolitics.
Yes, let's blame the US and western allies when Russia is conducting "special operations" in Ukraine. Why do you think Finland and Sweden joined and planned to join NATO, respectively when historically their populace was against joining NATO? Ukraine too, I might add.
