This War Goes To Moscow

Kyiv did not fall. Instead, Kyiv exported democracy to America. Democracy in America itself has been on shaky ground. 

But this does not mean Putin gets to take eastern or southern Ukraine. What can happen through peace talks is that Russian forces completely withdraw, and a referendum like in Scotland is organized, also in Crimea. If Crimea wants to become independent of Ukraine, it will have to do so through an internationally recognized referendum. 

Russia needs to vacate Ukraine, all of it, up to and including Crimea. 

But the peace talks can put that referendum on the table. Putin can not have any part of Ukraine. Putin needs no reward. 

But up to the border of Ukraine is the Ukrainian army. Beyond that, it is for the Russian people to assert themselves. 

This war needs to go to Moscow. It will only take 500,000 Russians to come out into the streets of Moscow and not leave until Putin resigns. 

Navalny needs to become the Interim President of Russia. An interim government needs to organize elections to a constituent assembly within a year of taking power. Without federalism, Russia is an empire. It is not allowed to be an empire. 

A democratic, federal Russia will be a vibrant Russia. Then it will be a world power. It will have its sphere of influence.
