“A civilized divorce is better than a bad civil war.”
If this were clearly a civil war, this would probably be true. However, it appears to be more like a thinly disguised foreign invasion to me, in which case, this proposal is appeasement and won’t lead to much good.
Clearly we cannot all just get along any longer.
"The moving RiNO writes, and having writ, moves on ..... "
These guys have all the clarity of mud. Remember the "best and the brightest"? RiNO foreign policy gurus, same deal.
If Great Russian ethnics clearly find life intolerably harsh and disappointing under the administration of their now-independent "little brothers" the Ukrainians, then let them seek a new life elsewhere among other Great Russians (and Kalmyks, and Tatars, and ....) in the vastness of Siberia. Being free of the Ukrainians should be incentive enough for them to pack up and move out.
No carve-up of the Ukraine. No more Sudetenlands. We've seen that movie and should have learned something from it.
