The US doesn’t get to make the “plan.”
The Trump admin has better leadership and relations, but mostly the identical options as the Biden admin.
Russia’s expanded borders are reality - and they will not allow NATO in... ever. Period.
Kellogg is a deepstate neocon turd. His “plans” are magical unicorns.
Russia is taking land faster now and will continue until Ukraine surrenders. The USA is just an observer pretending it has input.
“they will not allow NATO in”
NATO can be invited in and come in, and at most the Russians can do is to grab and hold large chunks of Ukraine until NATO forces are removed.
Ukraine might have 300,000 troops holding its front lines. NATO isn’t going to come close to matching that.
From the maps, the Russians seem intent on merely killing Ukrainian troops without trying to grab huge chunks of territory strategically.
