Russia will be dealing with separatists attacks and assassinations for several decades on the occupied territories. For me this is one of the reasons for this new partial mobilization.

We’ve been trying to get rid of Florida since bugs bunny!

> please point to the parts of your country you would surrender if one of your neighboring states attacked your country

Oh, that's fun. Just imagine if Florida was ceded to Cuba.

Mississippi and parts of California.

I think a fair number of people who live in countries divided among factional and/or ethnic lines would actually welcome certain undesirable parts of them splitting off. I know I would cry crocodile tears over Florida ending up as part of Cuba. Or Mexico. They can take Kentucky, too.

The problem here is that the war doesn't seem to be about Donbas.

Yes. And if you tell Ukrainian men and women to fight to their deaths, ask yourself if you would sacrifice own life (or your children's).

No war AND I can get rid of Quebec?

Sounds like a win-win to me!

Bloody catalonia can go to France, Andorra, or sink under the Mediterranean, i wouldn't mind at all

Quebec

The intermediate steps to where you think this is going would be invasions of the Baltics, other FSU nations, Poland, and Finland.

The safest way forward is for Russia to be comprehensively defeated in Ukraine.

They would in either case. Give Russia what it wants in Ukraine and it will tell you what parts of Poland it considers theirs and threaten nuclear war as the alternative. The only good news: it'll stop once it reaches its eastern border.

You cannot appease a fascist state.
