  • Europe is making a lot of noise, and promising a great deal, predicated only after a peace deal is reached and agreed to by Ukraine and Russia, which is no way is going to include concessions for European troops on the ground or a No Fly Zone in the airspace above whatever Trump isn’t ceeding to Russia immediately. As far as I can tell it’s all just talk, and completely unworkable, and won’t ever happen as long as Donald Trump is President of The United States. This is called betting on the come, or in car sales “the assumed close”.

    The only thing that secures Ukraines ability to remain a soverign nation at all are European troops on the ground inside Ukraine fighting Russia until it gives up. That’s it. That’s the whole show. Everything other than that is only talk, as Ukraine slides ever further into dissasembly.

    they didn’t consider helping ukraine at all when zelensky got to the white house, the die was cast against ukraine on the evening on november 5th when the election results were tabulated. it was done. trump was always going to abandon ukraine to russia, there was nothing zelensky could have said, or done, to change this. they set the whole public plan in motion, first by trump mentioning rare earth minerals, then having the us emissaries hand zelensky a blank check memo at the munich security conference they knew he wouldn’t sign without security gurantees they never were going to make, then trump magically reconsidered, and seemingly overnight the deal was back on, to be signed at the white house, where they ambushed zelensky in front of kremlin press, europe, and the whole rest of the world
