[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The deal is to let Russia have eastern Ukraine AND Crimea, it appears, in return for getting Iranian troops out of Southern Syria. I had previously heard ALL of Syria, but I guess our master negotiator couldnt get even that. It would of course be impossible to enforce, and would be a disaster for us in eastern europe.

I don't like letting Russia have eastern Ukraine and Crimea--but, isn't that pretty much what they already have done?  For the last few years?  Wouldn't getting Russian troops out of Syria be a plus?  A step in the right direction?

Wouldn't it have been better had the prior administration done something when this first happened?[/quote]

The Russian position in eastern Ukraine is tenuous, and in Crimea not recognized by the world. And what I heard is that it would be getting Iranian troops out, not Russian troops.  Russia would get to keep Syria, but Iran would be kept away from the Israeli border (this is why Bibi was pushing for the summit) Its not clear how pro-Iranian Afghan militias (now present in Syria) or Hezbollah would be treated.   I don't recall exactly where I read this, might have been haaretz (lefty Israeli paper)[/quote]
