No more territory, no less.  They will have to compromise, which would have been much better done back in March or April of 2021.   This was forseeable.  America has needs at home, and just does not have the largesse to be on the hook for defending another country for 5 years, much less 75.

America must focus on our own hemisphere, and securing our own borders. That's not nationalism, it's realism.  Wise up, globalist internationals.  Americans are voting for America's needs now.  That's a good thing, some say...
