Wonderful analysis courtesy of our friendly Floridian.
As far as I know there haven't even been proposals as to how to solve the Crimea question, no discussion at all.
I am absolutely certain that Russia will never give up an inch of Crimea.
Ukraine, or at least Zelensky and friends (some describe them as former Nazi sympathizers), say they will never accept the annexation. I believe this position is almost universally held in Western Ukraine.
The story of the Russians and Crimea is a long one.
Perhaps somebody (ie.the USA) could quietly ask Ukraine to forego their land claim in Crimea in exchange for NATO membership. Sounds bizarre, is bizarre.
You heard it here first!
On the other hand what's going to happen is exactly what's been happening but hopefully without the drama. At some point, maybe in twenty five years countries will begin to opt out of the sanctions.
When that happens what does NATO do?
(and by NATO I mean USA.)
Hopefully I will not have offended too many folks although I damn well know that otherwise.
