Zelenski and European political war mongers think President Trump is a chump not to be taken seriously in regard to ending the Ukraine war. They expect to deface Trump's 28 point peace plan to their satisfaction and alter the points adding measures to the effect that Russia must capitulate and withdraw all forces from Ukraine or else.
The basic problem with securing peace quickly is that Euros reinforce Zelenski and each expect the U.S. leadership to be spineless sycophants providing full support for the war on Russia in Ukraine as was President Biden. President Biden provided political and military fellatio to Ukraine and Europe can’t believe President Trump won’t really continue those policies. Neither realize that the negotiation is largely between President Trump and Russia. The Europeans are interested, crazy, war mongering coaches for Ukraine and fans that whole-heartedly want the war to continue even if Ukraine is losing.
President Trump has it within his power to end the war himself simply by recognizing Russian ownership of Donbas and Crimea and ending sanctions on Russia with a promise from President Putin to stop the war at whatever military lines it has in combat contact with Ukraine if and whenever the Ukraine government does plead for peace. That is, Russia will not continue the fight over the Dnepro River just because Ukraine has agreed to quit fighting.
Without U.S. military support, intelligence and sanctions Ukraine will continue to lose the war- only faster. European perfidy relies on the N.A.T.O. treaty to snair the U.S.A. on the wrong side of a conflict with Russia over Ukraine at some point in the future I would think via clever, calculated, planning and trickery. After the Cold War, building up N.A.T.O. to such a large, unnecessary size that it would make the United States a junior partner obligated to do Europe's bidding was a foreseeable mistake. I noted that problem a decade or two ago. European leadership was always latent war mongers even when they were beaten down after W.W. 1 and 2. War is in their political genome.
European military forces of the E.U. always were a potential enemy of the United States that would need to be offset by an alliance with Russia. It hasn't reached that point yet. It is not reasonable to suppose that U.S. and E.U. political choices would always be in agreement. Wars can occur between powerful nations and armies sometimes. The potential change of allies to adversaries can happen quickly. Scaling back N.A.T.O. to a size that would not present a threat to the United States if it turned to the dark side of the force would rectify a problem that has increased the past three decades.
After W.W. 2 N.A.T.O. allies of the United States were not remotely as powerful as the U.S. military. That balance is changing; even with the encouragement of recent U.S. Presidents. Ending the Ukraine war and normalizing relations with Russia is good for the U.S.A. and Russia. The Euros say that land shouldn't be taken by force. Yet when Russia was so weak after the end of the Cold War and Ukraine so tempting for the west they took it en passant from Russia the rightful owner. Euros and N.A.T.O. had so much military force advantage they did not need to use force; still Ukraine was in effect taken by force from Russia the rightful owner. Sharing Ukraine with Russia is the only remedy to prevent continuing battle and needless killing. Russia knows it cannot get a fair hearing in any European 'World Court'. If the World Court judicial composition were switched to operations by BRIC nations every five years or so the verdicts probably would be different. Force de majeure is the only remedy when the judiciary is completely corrupt like a European based World Court that hasn't any legal authority over nations anyway.
