In some ways this is a useful reminder that a lot of the talk of European security guarantees to Ukraine have the whole thing backwards. For more than three years Ukraine has been guaranteeing European security by fighting and degrading the Russian armed forces.

Whether through malice, incompetence or both the Trump administration is doing what it can to help Putin & harm Europe. And ironically, it brings peace no closer because Putin sees the evidence of Western weakness & disunity as a reason to keep the war going & achieve his goal of destroying Ukraine.
🚨 Explosive report by Bloomberg:
The US has lobbied “several” EU countries to derail the reparations loan for Ukraine, arguing the Russian assets are needed to achieve a peace deal and shouldn’t be used to “prolong the war”.

How about focussing on "Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of Russia as a perpetually expanding empire"?
The White House has released its new National Security strategy.
As suspected, it emphasizes the Western hemisphere.
It calls for “Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.”
^ Sop for Putin?

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.
