| 2021-11-25 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. By Aleksandr Kots [KP] Right now, the fate of Donbass, which has been living in a state of war for the eighth year, is undergoing a cardinal reversal. How serious everything is, is evidenced by the fact that the Russian Foreign Ministry has put on a public display the official correspondence with the foreign ministries of Germany and France.  |

| #5 Part of what's called Ukraine today is indeed part of historic Russia. That's why the inhabitants of those regions have no desire to be part of what's called contemporary Ukraine. The obvious solution is for A) the US to honor the original promise that Ukraine be demilitarized and neutral -- i.e. forswear ever to pull it into either NATO or the EU, and B) Ukraine to grant effective sovereignty to the Russian-speaking Transdniester regions in the east, and C) Russia to recognize the above concessions by withdrawing its troops. Neutral. Demilitarized. Neither-nor, a true "borderland," as per the original meaning of у-крайна |

| #4 Who is picking a fight, Ferret? Looks like Putin is. And the Ukraine isn't part of Russia, let alone its "heartland". |

| #2 Why on earth would we get involved in such a convoluted clusterphuck in Russia's heartland? What business is it of ours? Our country is coming apart at the seams. Shouldn't we attend to the fires raging all around us - the collapsing border, the anarchy in our cities, our disintegrating social order, runaway inflation, race warriors on the march? Why on earth are we picking yet another fight when we have not won a major war in 76 years? |

| #1 The "National Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Armed Aggression of Russia against Ukraine" is established - the second Friday of March, annually. Russia forced the Ukraine into a famine, and kept doing it. The Russians were so horrid the Ukrainians welcomed the Nazis. |
