Hi Elvis,
I see what you're saying. But ... in this case there is no solution. Just think, if your neighbor took a piece of your yard away from you with force and every time you go over to his house to take it back you hit him in the face and he hits you. Now Trump comes and tells you that you have to give up that piece of your yard to stop the fighting between the two of you. In the end you have to give up your land and pay Trump. To me, that doesn't sound like a good solution. I'd say that if your neighbor doesn't give you your land back, you can't reach an agreement. One guy wins, the other loses. The thing is, and here is where my song kicks in, the winner (Putin) might feel encouraged to do the same thing again and again. What worked once, might work a second or third time. That is why Europe is so scared.

All the best - Robert
