    Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.

    People aren’t property, you don’t get to keep them just because you own them. They have self determination.

    Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?

    No, it’s theirs, which is why I want them to have a choice! I’m the one that wants to let them choose whether they join Russia or stay with Ukraine. You’re the one that wants to hold them against their will if they truly want to leave.

    I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want. Why do you not want the same?

      They want more guns and bullets. I wonder why?

        Zelenski wants guns and bullets. What do the People want? Do Crimeans want the US to give Ukraine more guns and bullets? Or do they not count for some reason?

          Casualties in the Russo-Ukrainian War include six deaths during the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, 14,200–14,400 military and civilian deaths during the War in Donbas

          So I’m guessing what a large number of them want is for Russia to unkill their friends and relatives. But then most of the ones who want that have been driven out, arrested, or intimidated into silence.
