There are reports Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov will attend the next round of Russia - Ukraine negotiations.
Even if he does a Baghdad Bob act denouncing Ukrainian Nazis and blaming the "West" his attendance is a sign the Kremlin is beginning to recognize the pickle they are in.
If what they are asking is all they want it does not seem that impossible. Crimea was Russian anyway and the two separatist states? And a commitment to neutrality? That's a short list really.
but with china doing a shut the country inside its borders they dont really need one as everyone one of them will have a communist party officer just like the old Soviet days..
The US will be a big Chip player in ten years time and expect the EU to have facilities as well.
Entering a new era in industrial manufacturing and everything is going to cost more.
..... with oil about to spike is there anything else you can run your Aston Martin on? Charlie runs his on wine? is there likely to be a glut of wine any time soon?
China doesn't really have a navy, and russias is half a world away.

Actually - The Chinese navy has more ships than the US navy ... and while they are smaller, they don't need to be that big given that they are much closer to any likely conflict zones (less need to carry fuel, supplies and spares). As well - a rocket launched from a small ship is as dangerous as a rocket launched from a large ship.

Crimea was Ottoman, autonomous, part of the Russian Empire, then Soviet, then Ukrainian.
New England was British. Should Biden give it up to Johnson?
That's apples and oranges really. The Soviets gifted Crimea to Ukraine probably in a vodka induced state of generosity and have lived to regret it. I can't remember which leader but a lot of Soviet leaders were Ukrainian.
