A senior advisor to Donald Trump has said Ukraine needs to be "realistic" in its aims for the war, adding the Russian-occupied peninsula of Crimea was "gone."
That has always been Ukraine's implied threat if aid stops. The fact it needs to be spelt out for the dummies is kinda sad. Ukraine has the technology, knowlege, material, and expertise to build one in 2 weeks (if they havnt already built one).
You're not clever by saying Gaza whenever Trump does/is speculating to do something. Trump didn't win because pro-Palestinians didn't vote for Harris. He won because voters of all political positions didn't vote for Harris. There's no convenient scapegoat here. I mean seriously Trump won and Harris lost ground with nearly every single demographic.
Realistically, if Ukraine only has to give up Crimea, it's not a bad deal. I'm not saying I like it, just that getting 100% of the territory back may not be achievable.
Crimea is easier to take back than the dombass. Realistically, the dombass will be almost impossible to take back by force, but Crimea is a very realistic objective, although it's also the most precious to russia.
Saying that Ukraine should forget about Crimea is saying that Ukraine should abandon all territories held by Russia today.
I don't know, it could be, my experience in military strategy is summarized in having lost many times in the Europa Universalis. What I do understand a little more about is politics and international relations and I know that if Russia presented itself to negotiate with a deal that said "if you give me Crimea I won't ask for anything else" Ukraine should accept without hesitation.
I completely agree, I wanted to say if they ONLY give up Crimea and absolutely nothing else. Neither territory nor other things like NATO. Unfortunately, seeing the feedback from my previous comment, many see other better options as realistic, maybe they know more than me.
