It would be interesting to speculate what would exist today in the United States if your Dec. 9 “Compromise with bandits” editorial appeared
in the 1860s in response to Abraham Lincoln’s signing a political compromise with the South.
The United States would not have remained united if Lincoln had sought conciliation with those whose actions were meant to destroy it.
When one compromises with “bandits,” one allows them to continue to be what they are. In Ukraine, their actions have seriously weakened
independence for 13 years. How will Ukraine be stronger now after power has been transfered to the parliament, where they still have great influence?
