yeah right... like this isn't the millionth peace plan that's fallen apart
. seriously though, i'm not surprised ukraine is having trouble getting russia on board - those guys are stubborn as heck
. it's all about face and reputation for them, and they're not exactly known for being willing to compromise
. the only way we'll ever see lasting peace in this region is if someone just gives up a few of their fancy territorial claims
. and even then, there's no guarantee it'll stick
. i mean, come on, "puzzle with missing pieces" - sounds like a bad joke to me
. concrete action? what's that?
