Zelensky/NATO still withhold peace negotiations unless the United States promises to serve as a 'backstop'; they still want to get the US into a hot war with Russia so they need American boots on the ground. They've been told 'no' already, but they are still are trying. Hegseth was 100% clear on this as well, but still they are trying to get the US to fight their war for them.'No' means no!

As usual this EU dog and pony show has a completely different meaning than what is projected. What is it really all about at this point? This idiocy failed to get rid of Putin... they have given up on that. Now it is all about Damaging President Trump. It is long past time to end our involvement in the region and let the EU sink or swim.

So, they all want to talk tuff and “show strength” as long as USofA will not let them get hurt.

Reminds me of the cartoon with little puppy yapping and snapping at sylvester the cat with his big mean daddy behind him.

I see pretty much no evidence that both Putin and Zelensky care if this war goes on indefinitely. Very hard to understand (for me) Neither one of them displays any motivation to end the war that I can see.

So much for the Euros huffing and puffing that they could obliterate Putin all by themselves, forget the Yanks. We’ve learned nothing in 100 years.

Probably just a coincidence that all the NATO leaders happen to be in Turkey at he same time the Ukraine/Russia peace negotiations were going on.

Zelensky is trying to throw a wrench into Trump’s peace talks with Putin. That way he can keep the money rolling in over the dead bodies the war is piling up.

There is no US “backstop”.
There will never be a US backstop.
The Europeans ca fight forever if they want, but without American money or arms.

Absolutely right! Boots on the ground means Ukraine effectively becomes a NATO country! This, President Trump will not allow to happen.

It is all theater. Trump is still the commander-in-chief in the US and leader of the free (facist europe) world and NATO.

Zelinski is our bought and paid for actor.

Trump only wanted to deal with Iran, and to save the financial underpinnings held by the Central Banks in Ukraine, soon to be under Russian management.

NATO got their answer. Next time we meet, it will be eight oblasts, Kiev and Odessa. Iran gave him a promise of a deal.

The importance of the assets securing the EU Loans to Ukraine are difference between Recession and defaul for Europe. At least the USA pivoted our Ukraine investment partners into BTC ETFs.

As the EU Banks have to write off assets in Ukraine... Recession already looms... they have already cut pensions in numerous countries to fund project Ukraine. A losing hand.

“Peacekeepers” means “War Extenders” Europe’s economy needs a war to bolster it with blood money....

F’K em! The EU big three said they are going to build the biggest, baddest, most special military force, if they want war they can have it! No more American blood and treasure, let the communists, oh sorry, socialists save themselves without this time. I understand that isolationism is bad, but I am tired of this shit and maybe it’s time for some bad isolationism.

F@#$ the EU, ditto with NATO. If they want war with Russia let them fund it. The US should walk away.

My guess is still that Trump and Putin will cut a peace deal and Trump will serve it up.to Zelensky.
