"Westerners" - I live by the border to russia. I've lived in the Soviet Union. I'd put my life do make sure my children don't have to live "temporarily" in russia.

By your childish, naive logic, every ovuntry that fought to leave Soviet Union should've remained, because it costed lives.

By your simplistic view, anyone who fought Nazi Germany, should've surrendered for "temporary" territory loss.

You are either a useful idiot for russia's terrorism, or a child.

All those lives you care about can be saved by russians going back to home. For some reason, I don't see you trying to convince people that's the best course of action.
