  1. If ever there was a level-headed Senator in the US Senate, it's Mitt Romney. He's a visionary leader and he always looks for a reasonable solution. The Ukraine conflict will be coming to an end sooner than all of us can imagine, because the day Crimea comes back into Ukrainian hands is when Putin throws in the towel, pulls out the remaining troops and then he's going to be meaner than a junk yard dog and that is what we in Europe and people who are living around the world have to be prepared for. Senator Romney, can you help the Ukrainians and the Europeans by helping build an off-ramp for a soon-to-be losing President of a very proud nation? Because he's going to need one paved in gold. The Russian people, who faithfully follow him to their graves if need be, also need to end the war as losers but not have their noses put in the dirt. Putin needs an off-ramp he can live with. People like you, Senator Romney, and the distinguished Ian Bremmer have the word salad that Putin and his cronies will wolf down and then some. We've got to show Putin how to connect the dots for a dignified retreat and help him get back to running his own country and not invading more lands to expand his empire. President Putin has to be shown that the Ukraine will never be taken as a prize and that Crimea must go back in Ukrainian hands because the Ukraine will never be secure if Russia controls it. Odessa would be the first victim if Russia retains Crimea because Odessa's ports would be at the mercy of Russian gunships. Ditto in the Sea of Azov as the coastal cities would be under the thumb of Russian naval forces. Everyone knows what desperation will do to a man who has been demoralized and humiliated in front of the whole world by losing a war to a much smaller enemy; we must do everything in our power to communicate to the Russian people that we only want Russia and the Russian people to live in peace with its neighbors.
