  2. Russia also wanted that territory back and that territory mostly wanted Russia back, the native Russian speakers aren't treated well in Ukraine. But ultimately the deals are being made over rare minerals, so the minerals are the path to resolving the conflict now.

  3.  @Mman.  There is the much bigger picture, with whole dynamic between the USA, Russia and China, the three major players who rival each other. This is being looked at as one avenue to potentially not only re-coop the monetary losses, but bring a former rival over into a partnership and then take on the biggest one from a position of greater market strength. War is rarely so simple as a good vs evil, there's a lot of maneuvering.

  4.  @M98747  It's almost like security is assured without it having to be outright stated and provoking the other half of the conflict.

  8.  @kimflorell5991  Only in optics for everyone else in the world, he's still got overwhelming majority support here and we're not losing our electricity, we're not all starving because we can't buy food. So far, nothing seems to be different except how much we're enjoying the rest of the world meltdown over someone doing something different.

  9. There are no assurances that Russia could give any of them that would satisfy their concerns. To the EU, Russia is THE biggest threat to them. So what's the point in even discussing it if they'd never accept it? They want assurances from the one nation that isn't afraid of Russia, but we're not offering life-long security to anyone.

  10. The issue he's facing is that he won't have a country in another few years of war.

  12. Well, usually when you take money from someone, they expect it paid back, especially when it wasn't even their money to give you and the person it does belong to never wanted it handed off in the first place. If you want to blame anyone, blame the guys that handed over the money in the first place, the previous administration.
