Why is Crimea pivotal to the Ukraine/Russia war?
Trump gets elected, not exclusively, but heavily on the promise, no more of these nonsense wars that are draining the treasury, getting Americans killed, making America weaker globally. There's no upside at all, particularly the war in Ukraine. Donald Trump says, I'm going to do that. I'm going to bring it to a close in like the first hours after becoming president. I think he says that. And the question to you who actually knows the answer is, how do you do that?
Yeah, well, how you bring the war to an end, this has been on the table since before the war started. And Trump is going to have a much more difficult position now to bring that to fruition because of the horrific decisions made by the outgoing administration. This war could easily have been avoided before it happened. The Minsk agreements. I know a lot in the West like to say bad things about them. But the fact is that we now know Angela Merkel, Hollande of France have both admitted that that was never supposed to be implemented. They just wanted to, quote, stop Russia's invasion of the Donbass area. That's what they said that it was for. Eastern Ukraine. to buy them time, the Ukraine side time, so that they could defend against it.
It wasn't to implement. And you know that's true because one of the central provisions that was agreed to by the Russians and the French and German and the Ukrainians was that the Ukrainians would change their constitution to have political autonomy and protections for the Russian-speaking people in the East. That was one of the absolute central features of that Minsk agreement. In the Belarus, in the Minsk. In the Minsk agreements, yeah, in 2015. And it was never done, ever. So the Ukraine side didn't implement the most important provision of it. They were also supposed to move back heavy weapons and all this kind of stuff, some of which happened. And then both sides had minor incursions over the time with artillery that was going back and forth.
Because the Russians are going, all right, we're not going to implement our part of this all fully until you get that central part. And so they just talked about it all this time. And all we had to do is say, okay, Minsk agreements had no NATO in it. There was no NATO for Ukraine inside there. It was just resolve this situation peacefully. It didn't address NATO. It didn't. So it definitely didn't say that they were on the table. It didn't talk about it. So since 2008, that had been talked about by the West that they were going to come in. But the Minsk agreement would have ended all the the conflict that was on the line of contact for essentially an eight year civil war before this one broke out. All they had to do was just implement those.
And then now then Russia has no need to intervene because the whole issue has always been protection of the rights of the people. Russian people and the ethnic Russians living in eastern Ukraine and the protection on their border not to have NATO in it. So if you get that off the table, now then there's plenty of room. But then by 2021, which very few Westerners are even aware of, is in March of 2021, Zelensky signs this law that says they're going to now take back all of the temporarily occupied areas, especially Crimea, which is a no-go red line for the Russians, and by force if necessary.
And then can you possibly describe why? And lots of Biden administration officials talked about taking back Crimea. You say it's a no go. It's not even worth discussing. Why is that? What is Crimea?
Historically, Crimea has has was in Russia, too. I think it was I can't remember the exact year that it was it was given to Ukraine by I want to say Nikita Khrushchev. That's correct. So he gave that to them. But it's historically, I mean, for centuries been Russian. The vast majority of people gave it to Ukraine when Khrushchev controlled Ukraine. Right. When he was part of the Soviet Union. Yeah. So it was just like, you know, moving things left and right within his controlling and holdings. But the people in it were still ethnic Russians primarily. And when they had this plebiscite, like 95 percent of the people voted to go into Russia when after the, you know, the coup that happened that unseated the legally elected government in Ukraine.
