Giving the heavily fortified Western Donetsk region to Russia would be exactly like Chamberlain giving the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland to Hitler's Germany which was one of the major factors which precipitated World War II ...
What will happen with Russia long term? We know that Trump will be gone soon. How long will Putin be on the world stage? When he goes, then what? Will she still be so Ukraine-obsessed? What will the world order look like without Trump and Putin?
I have to say, I'm 100% with you about the US losing relevance around the world. Putin plays Trump like a fiddle. Countries are waking up to the fact that they can't reply on the US, at least not at the moment, and so they are moving on: making new trade deals, (re)arming, and so on as needed. This is MADA, make America dispensible... not sure what to put for the 2nd A, but anyhow.

Better. Much, much better.
