European Leaders To Toe The Line?

Here is that meeting between President Donald Trump and the European leaders - Poofter of UK, Macron of France, Gorgiosa Meloni of Italy, ReichsKanzler Quisling of Germany, Zelenskiyy, a Finnish guy, Ursula Van Der Lyin of the EU and Mark Rutte of Nato. If you look carefully President Putin is standing just behind that curtain. 

President Trump put forward what President Putin wants: 'security guarantees' for Russia. That Ukraine will not join Nato, the demilitarisation of Ukraine or failing that perhaps the creation of a demilitarised zone along the Ukraine side of the Line of Control.

 
Trump says that there will be no future Russian aggression against Ukraine and that such a notion is overrated. Basically Mr Trump is saying that Russia is not a threat to Europe or the problem in Europe. And Trump says that Europe is going to carry a lot of the burden to provide security guarantees (to Russia). To achieve peace there will be some exchange of territory along the current line of contact. 

The Europeans also spoke of security guarantees but not for Russia. They are talking about Security Guarantees for Ukraine AND for Europe. They are talking about Article 5.

The Poofter said the security of Europe is also under threat.  This is after Donald Trump had already said, "there will be no future Russian aggression against Ukraine, such a notion is overrated and that Russia is not a threat to Europe" . Either the Poofter does not understand Trump's English or he is telling Trump 'I dont give a sh_t about how great you think Putin is".

The German  ReichsKanzler wants an immediate ceasefire - before the next meeting with Mr Putin. President Trump poured cold water on this idea by replying that he had settled six wars (including the 35 year old civil war in the Congo) without any ceasefire. Trump says you can sign a peace agreement even without a ceasefire. 

The ReichsKanzler, the Poofer and Macron want a ceasefire so that they can rearm and rebuild the Ukraine Army and then continue the war against Russia. This is the Great Game that they still want to play.  They have no interest in peace.

The Europeans want Article 5 guarantees to enable THEM to declare war against Russia. They want to be the aggressors against Russia.  

WHY do I say this? Here is Article 5 of NATO:  'Article 5 of NATO's founding treaty enshrines the principle of collective defense, in which an attack on any of its 32 members is considered an attack on all.' 

In other words this is the Three Musketeers 'all for one and one for all'. So when Ukraine sends a drone across the frontier to drop a bomb on Russian troops and Russia shoots down the drone then the Europeans can invoke Article 5 'all for one and one for all" against Russia. Including of course the United States of America. 

So it was a serious mistake for Mr Trump to involve the Europeans in these discussions. He should have kept the discussions strictly with Ukraine. The Europeans do not want peace with Russia. The British absolutely do not want peace with Russia. Because their primary target is to destroy the German economy, which they have done quite well in the past three years (by blowing up that Nordstream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany).  

But ultimately the US calls the shots. Trump snaps his fingers and seven European poodles fly across the pond to Washington.  Looking at the faces of Macron, the Poofter and the ReichsKanzler they are obviously unhappy. Trump is going to draw the line. They will have to toe the line. 

They do not fully fathom another extremely very important point - the Russians are kicking their butts all over the battlefield in Ukraine.
