Returning to pre-2014 Ukraine borders ‘unrealistic’ and ‘illusory’ goal, US defence secretary says.
Continuing his speech, US defence secretary Peter Hegseth calls for “realistic assessment of the battlefield.”
“We want a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognising that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective.”
“Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering.”
You’re a modern day Chamberlain. He thought Hitler would stop if they appeased him by letting him have part of Czechoslovakia.
I don’t need to tell you it didn’t work. Appeasing bullies never works.
If you give Putin part of Ukraine he will come for the rest in a few years. We already saw this with Crimea.
Chamberlain was buying time.
This is just idiocy pure and simple.
