When the 'international community' suggests a 'land for peace' deal (as may be likely part of Trump's 'negotiation' for peace in the Ukraine), its worth pointing out what that might if it was translated into our own country.

Here are two countries that might interest you in that regard; I cannot see either agreeing to give up 20% of their territory, can you?... but that's what international power disparities look like!
