It's a tough negotiation at this point. The damage is done. The trick would have been to not let it start in the first place. The NATO thing was stupid. Now, I can't really see how we can back Ukraine and insist they get all their land back. We have to be careful how we deal with Russia, the world's biggest nuclear power. We wouldn't want to turn them into another Iran, that militarily supplies other radical terrorist countries to do their bidding. Right now, we have to settle for peace and save what we can for Ukraine. I always thought that if they really wanted to think outside the box, they should have invited Ukraine and Russia to both join NATO. That would have put our real enemy, China, behind the 8 ball.
