A. No Territorial concessions to Russia as a condition to end the war.
1)
While it is true that the Dombas region and Crimea were turned over to Ukraine administration by Nikita Khruschev acting on his own authority to give his native Ukraine a longer sea coast and an industrial base,
2)
the Russians and Ukrainians agreed to the borders in 1991 in a treaty, so there should be no territorial concessions to Russia other than the Crimea which is a separate legal and treaty issue.
3)
B. Ukraine needs to restore ethnic rights to Russian ethnics in the Dombas region that were abrogated in violation to agreements as part of the Orange Revolution, sparking a rebellion by Russian ethnic militias in that region at the time, in 2014,
4)
8 years before Putin’s invasion. In fact, those militias at one point controlled more land in that region than Russian forces do today. All military forces should withdraw from the area.
5)
C. I would like to see NATO altered or disbanded and replaced by a new Pan-Euopean Security Arrangement (guaranteed by the USA) that can include Russia and Ukraine to guarantee non-aggression within its region,
6)
and to allow for mutual dealing with common security interests and concerns. There are specific threats to European civilization today that all these nations need to face as a common concern.
7)
D. Because of the way this war was handled, I think part of any peace deal should include the resignation of Putin and Medvedev, and free internationally supervised elections ...
8)
in the same way that elections were held with observers after World War II in Germany in the mid-1950s. National leaders that authorized attacks specifically aimed at civilians unconnected with military activities, should not be allowed to remain in office.
9)
E. Crimea is a special case. In 1991, Crimea Autonomous Republic was declared to be a semi-autonomous Oblast (administrative region) under the national authority of Ukraine, but with the option to leave Ukraine with a supervised plebecite.
10)
The vote was held, supervised by representatives from a number of European states, and more than 85% of the vote was to join Russia,
11)
logical because the majority are Russian ethnic population or Tartars, rather than Ukrainian, and the vote preceded the arrival of any Russian forces.

РЕАЛЬНЫЙ МИР МЕЖДУ РОССИЕЙ И УКРАИНОЙ
A. Никаких территориальных уступок России как условия прекращения войны.
Хотя Домбас и Крым действительно были переданы украинской администрации Никитой Хрущевым, действовавшим по собственному усмотрению,
13)
чтобы обеспечить своей родной Украине более протяженное морское побережье и промышленную базу, русские и украинцы согласовали границы в 1991 году в договоре,
14)
поэтому никаких территориальных уступок России быть не должно, кроме Крыма, который является отдельным юридическим и договорным вопросом.
15)
B. Украина должна восстановить этнические права русских в Домбасе, которые были аннулированы в нарушение соглашений в ходе Оранжевой революции, что спровоцировало восстание русских этнических ополченцев в этом регионе в 2014 году, за 8 лет до вторжения Путина.
16)
Фактически, эти ополченцы в какой-то момент контролировали большую территорию в этом регионе, чем российские войска сегодня. Все военные силы должны быть выведены из этого района.
17)
C. Я хотел бы, чтобы НАТО было изменено или расформировано и заменено новым общеевропейским соглашением о безопасности (гарантированным США), которое могло бы включать Россию и Украину,
18)
гарантируя ненападение в регионе и позволяя совместно решать общие интересы и проблемы безопасности. Сегодня существуют конкретные угрозы европейской цивилизации, которые все эти страны должны рассматривать как общую проблему.
19)
D. Учитывая то, как шла эта война, я считаю, что частью любого мирного соглашения должна быть отставка Путина и Медведева и проведение свободных выборов под международным наблюдением,
20)
подобно тому, как выборы проводились с участием наблюдателей после Второй мировой войны в Германии в середине 1950-х годов. Ни один национальный лидер, санкционировавший нападения, направленные конкретно на мирное население,
21)
не связанные с военными действиями, не должен оставаться у власти.
E. Крым — это особый случай. В 1991 году Автономная Республика Крым была объявлена полуавтономной областью (административным районом) в составе Украины,
22)
но с возможностью выхода из состава Украины по результатам референдума. Голосование состоялось под наблюдением представителей ряда европейских государств, и более 85% голосов было за присоединение к России, что вполне логично,
23)
поскольку большинство населения Крыма составляют русские или татары, а не украинцы, и голосование предшествовало приходу российских войск."

That’s OK. Move them. There are alternatives with infrastructure already in place that can do the games with less expense anyway.
1)
How about Florida. Central Florida (Orlando) already has the hotel space, the sports venues, and the transport network that could more than accommodate the whole thing, especially if some events were distributed to the Tampa area and South Florida.
2)
In addition, Florida is closer to a greater proportion of the US population, and more easily accessed from Europe as well."

Moses continues his final talk to the people of Israel, making clear that if they fulfill the commandments (mitzvot) of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they are about to settle in, keeping with Hashem’s promise to their ancestors.
2)
Moses describes the richness and beauty of the land they will settle, telling them that they must purify it of the idols and beliefs that were there before. But interestingly, he warns them not to become arrogant or self-satisfied in their possessions,

NEWSRAEL: Democratic Socialists of America vote to expel Israel supporters
At its 2025 National Convention over the weekend, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) voted to make support for Israel’s right to self-defense an “expellable offense,” 1)
further entrenching the far-left group’s anti-Israel position.
The Socialists are coming! DSA Convention, Socialists declared dominance over Dems.jpg
The resolution, titled “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA”, passed 56% to 43% and openly endorses the Palestinian “Thawabit” —
2)
a framework demanding the so-called “right of return” for millions of Palestinians and their descendants, claiming Jerusalem as a Palestinian capital, and backing violent “resistance” against Israel.

Tucker Carlson wrote, "Self-described evangelicals like Ted Cruz and Mike Johnson have no interest in how Israel treats Christians. Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos has spent years living in the region. They should listen to her."
1)
Did you know Agapia Stephanopoulos is the sister of Obama and Clintons' pal George Stephanopoulos. George Stephanopoulos held two key positions in the Clinton administration. He first served as White House Communications Director from January 20, 1993, to June 7, 1993.
2)
He then served as Senior Advisor to the President for policy and strategy from June 7, 1993, until his resignation on December 10, 1996. She was born Anastasia but took the name Agapia when she took her vows to become a Greek Orthodox nun.

The truth:
I am the Lord your God whom I brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slaves.
1)
The lie:
The Jewish-Christian world generally recognizes the first commandment added to the second, 'Thou shall not have any other gods over me...
2)
You understand, the Jews have the source, the Christians change it - in order to cut off the first commandment and add to it what the Jews know as the second commandment.

Here is my answer to Carville James. Right now, Republicans control all three branches of government.
2)
If you, James, are right that power should be made permanent by changing the system, then why should the Republicans not do, right now, what you suggest the Democrats do? Add four members to the Supreme Court and appoint four conservative-constitutionalists.
