Trump To Force Ukraine Peace on Europe
John Mearsheimer, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
The Trump administration has been clear that peace in Ukraine will entail no NATO membership, no return of Ukrainian territories, and no US security guarantees. Furthermore, the US is preparing to leave both Ukraine and Europe. The Europeans are outraged about the US preparedness to make peace with Russia, yet they have presented no other alternatives than sending more weapons. The Europeans and Ukrainians also oppose that a deal is being made behind their backs, yet they have boycotted all diplomacy for the past three years. Europe is waking up to a realist reality as the terms for a peace agreement will be decided in Moscow and Washington.
If it works, good! The Europeans have brought this upon themselves. But it's not yet in the bag, and the Hegemon cannot be trusted. (Nor can the Europeans.)
Glenn, what do you think of this new US/Trump narrative that suddenly ‘Ukraine is Europe’s problem?’
*) Wasn’t it American NGOs like USAID, NED, and American citizen George Soros’ Open Society Foundation that have been funding anti-Russian sentiment for decades in Ukraine?
*) Wasn’t it the US and the American CIA that was behind the 2014 regime change Maidan Coup?
*) Wasn’t it American citizen Victoria Nuland that was handing out cookies on Maidan Square?
*) Wasn’t it American citizen Victoria Nuland that said “fck the EU?”
*) Wasn’t it American citizen Trump who deviated from Obama’s policy and started sending lethal military “aid” to Ukraine?
*) Wasn’t it American citizen Trump who cancelled the INF and Open Skies Treaties with Russia?
*) Wasn’t it the American 2017-2021 Trump Admin that moved US NATO troops from Germany to Ukraine’s neighbours Poland and Romania?
…but now it’s suddenly ‘Europe’s problem’ and Europeans have to clean up America’s mess? 🤔
