If Russia is made to give up Kaliningrad, who should it go to?

[Helsinkian]

Since Russia has decided that it has the right to annex parts of its neighbours citing "historical reasons", surely the status of Kaliningrad, a forward operating base in the middle of NATO, must be discussed as well.

Russia should annex the Baltics.

Mongolia should annex Siberia.

If there is a constant in Russian politics - it's an absolute desire of 90+% of it's population to hold as much territory as possible, and - even bigger.

And that, irrespective of anything else in this thread, is the main problem with Russia.

Ask US to give back Alaska, and then observe the reaction. In any case - it's a thing that will NOT change next 50 years. And i have little interest in what will be later (partially - because i will NOT be alive then)

Ask Mexicans and Canadians what they would think if Americans still openly wanted to make their country "bigger".

Americans surely want this. In this respect US and Russia are very similar: both are inherently expansionist powers with extremely strong "messianic" traits (like: God (or Karl Marx) choose country to play very special role in the world).

Say what you want of the Iraq war, but at least it did not result in the annexation of Basra Governorate into the US.

With time and increasing role of Crimea as a base for Russian (and then - Soviet) fleet - Russians became to play bigger and bigger role.

...and due to the mass deportation of Tatars by Stalin.
