Missives from Dane
After six continents, 50 U.S. states, and over 100 countries and counting - I finally decided to start writing about the amazing people, crazy adventures, and unbelievable opportunities that have filled my life. Missives from Dane is a series of insights, ramblings, and hopefully occasionally inspiring thoughts from my life - on issues that are personal, professional, and just simply strange. I hope you enjoy them (or hopefully at least one of them).
ceding territory to Russia won’t bring peace—it will ignite the next invasion
This is precisely what ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia would represent on the global stage. Ukraine is not just fighting for its land—it is fighting for the principle that borders cannot be redrawn by force. Allowing Russia to annex portions of Ukraine sends a dangerous message: that might makes right, and that sovereignty and territorial integrity are negotiable.
