Where is the logic in being an anti-nationalist to suppor KGB Russian imperialism?
If Buchanan were not betraying his nationalism in homage to his diety of isolationism, he would be calling for the logical choice, PARTITION. Crimea and Eastern Ukraine are ethnically Russian and Tatar. Much of this territory was added to Ukraine by Kruschev to Russianize Ukraine, as Stalin had condocted the Holdomor to crush Ukrainian resistance. These lands should be returned to Russia so that Ukraine may be free. Without the Russian lands, and Russian colonists, the Russian puppet will have no real constituency, since electiosn are on ethnic lines. The Russians will be part of Russia making them happy. Only those who demand Kiev be part of Russia will be annoyed. But why should we betray nationalism to appease the suicidal revanchism and irridentism of a KGB apparatchik?

Excellent point. But you have the complication of Ukrainians not wanting to give up the Crimea because it would leave them landlocked. I don’t see an easy resolution to this problem through partition, any more than there would be an easy resolution to a partition of the United States between takers and makers

The problem is almost all the wealth in Ukraine earned in the East.
Cutting it is like cutting the rest of the “decadent” states from West Virginia to make it “thrive”.
