Would Russia be filling to give Königsberg back to Germany in exchange for Germany (and therefore the EU and NATO)...

>US giving

We don't need american permission to do what we have to do.

try explaining that to the UN

Believe me US would LOVE to expel all of the R*ssians
They're 50% spies 40% criminals 8% military obsessed autists

There is no American bases and troops in Ukraine and the USA has serious problems to even project power in Poland, not to mention such remote region like Ukraine connected to Russia in all possible ways : through military to economical ones and closed with Black Sea which is completely controlled by Russian navy. Russia is basically too weak to swallow Ukraine thats why it doesnt do it.

Russia offered to give it back in Yeltsin era, the Germans didnt want it. Good times have passed now, so its gonna stay there as a military base for a long time.

And kek to this
>iving it a free hand to annex as much territory as it wants from Ukraine?
You're an idiot

No.

Ukraine is in the final days of talks to join NATO.

Some suggest that they'll join by early 2020

Business idea: just wait a few years until the Russian economy collapses then take it for free.

>Kaliningrad is also an important warm water port for the Russian Fleet and a major rocket base for their nukes. It will never be German. It's too important for Russia

This little strip of land can be very easily and fast terminated in case of war anyway. Its strategic importance was radically decreased after fall of Soviet Union, it was useful only as long as Poland and Eastern Germany were a part of Soviet block. Today it can be neutralized in minutes even by Polish artillery so everything Russians placed there is supposed to have a political meaning rather than military one. Iskanders can easily reach territory of Poland from Western Russia after all

you kinda do, though

>It will never be German
not even germany will be german sadly in the future, so why would anyone bother?

>Russian Fleet
I don't think anyone in the russian military put their eggs on their fleet that much.

> a free hand to annex as much territory as it wants from Ukraine?
Who the hell needs it? Ukraine is worthless.

But does Germany want it? Haven't Russia already proposed to sell it, but Germany refused?

Find me artillery shells capable of reliably penetrating bunkers in which nuclear missiles are housed. Nukes fired from the Kaliningrad Oblast are able to bypass the American missile shield and that's a great asset all by itself. When push comes to shove those missiles can strike Warsaw, Berlin, and all the other major cities in Central and Eastern Europe practically unopposed. Moreover, it's fucking cold in Saint Petersburg and the harbor in Kaliningrad is warm all year. The Baltic Sea doesn't freeze here, but it freezes from time to time up north.

And also having unresolved conflicts and disputes Ukraine can't join NATO altogether. Read the MAP.

Couldn't you end your conflicts by just giving Russia Crimea and giving lnr and dnr autonomy?

Most of so called called Russians living in USA are jews. So you won't do shit, your masters won't allow it.

You are clueless. There are no talks. Ukraine haven't even received Membership Action Plan and neither have Georgia.
And do you know why? Because they can't fulfill it right now. You have to resolve all conflicts and territorial disputes in accordance with OSCE. Read the documents before you spout nonsense.

This will be a political suicide or maybe just suicide for a president who decides to do this. But yes, in theory it can be resolved this way.

Not going to happen. War in Donbass was purposefully designed to be unwinnable by both sides from the get go, and neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian oligarchs want to end it anyway. It's too profitable for them. Additionally, it's a great scapegoat for all the internal problems those two countries have. It's a frozen conflict that will never be resolved as long as the geopolitical situation in the world remains the same. People like Poroshenko and Putin are rubbing their hands in glee when Ukrainian and Russian boys high on propaganda are shooting each other in Donbass.

Ukraine is probably not enoguh. Kaliningrad oblast' is nice region, and Ukraine is just poor shit.
What about Ukraine+Kazakhstan?

>what we have to do
You don't have to do anything.

Does Germany want it?
Also if they want, then they can wait when Russia will collapse and take it for free.

>rashka square vatnik way of thinking

Not a problem. You're not going to be firing off any nukes when the enemy army occupies the place in 48 hours and takes control of the missile silos before you have a chance to do anything.

>ukraine
No such thing.
