Love listening to Glenn discuss this issue with regard to the EU position. Although I think he is giving Trump too much credibility regarding the war. He has no interest in morality or war. He simply wants control thru economic means. That’s why he wants to buy or absorb other countries.
Yet the only “just peace”, for Europe and Ukraine, seems to be a rewind to the situation before February 2022, except that Crimea must be returned to Ukraine as well.
It’s utterly absurd to think that this can happen without a major escalation. However, European leaders seem hell bent on going down this route.
Glenn Diesen, Pascal Lottaz and everyone on their side of the fence have been exactly correct in their assessments as to the situation on Ukraine and what to do about it. Their assessments fall in line with John Mearsheimer’s theory of offensive realism which is exactly correct.
An article by former ambassador Jack F. Matlock, Jr., ‘Trump and the viable road to peace in Ukraine”, posted on Responsible Statecraft today, brings necessary historical clarity and validates what Glenn Diesen, John Mearsheimer and others have been saying. One of Matlock’s observations: If the policies now being pursued by Trump had been implemented by previous American administrations, the war in Ukraine would not have occurred. “They are not capitulations in advance or appeasement as some critics have charged. They get at the roots of the war.” Having been a participant in the negotiations to end the Cold War, he notes that the procedure used by the first Bush administration to negotiate the unification of Germany in 1990 first engaged in bilateral talks with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev before referring the agreements to the other participants. It is ironic that Trump is exposing the Rot in our current political leadership.
Trump administration has marked its course. Europe and Ukraine are on their own against Russia. In other words: “Russia you can have them, we don’t care anymore.”

Bingo!

Why? So Ukraine can "justly" go back to killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas?
You're a lunatic.
Read my post again.
My apologies.
You are not only correct; you sir, are a gentleman.
