Use capitalism and free enterprise to find a face-saving route for the President of Russia to reach a peaceful win-win solution. The Russian and Crimean people share a long history and tradition. They belong together. Taking over a country by force is not civilized in this day and age. Ukraine needs money and time. Selling Crimea to Russia would help both Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine needs time and money to build their governmental systems, judicial system, educational, housing, health care, criminal justice, and their economic structure. Overcoming corruption and might-makes-right with more democratic participation requires time and money. Crimea is a valuable resource that should be used to build a bridge to an independent Ukraine.
