Here, the Taiwan Relations Act provides a possible model. It allows the United States to provide continued military assistance and equipment to a government it does not technically recognize as a separate state, but with the goal of preventing Beijing from using force to resolve the political disputes stemming from the Chinese civil war.

Or a Korean war ceasefire type thing
If Trump gives zelenski one more penny that will be my first real break with any of his policies. That dumb son of a b**** had the nerve to show up and ask for another $90 billion dollars
Trump probably sees entertaining that prospect as a way to light a fire under Putin. We don't know what his real position is.
$90B would kill a lot of Russians.
Trump has indicated he will also bring in a business angle.
Both Ukraine and Russia sit on valuable rare earth deposits, many of them right along the front lines. If American companies and engineers are involved in developing those resources, it makes renewed fighting too costly. Any attack would not only hurt both countries financially but also endanger U.S. personnel, inviting consequences neither side wants. That kind of joint economic deal could give real teeth to a “60 percent solution.
Central Europe is more complicated than Asia.
It was the stage for two World Wars in less than a thirty year span.
And Uncle Sam had to twice cross the pond to help see an end to those war.
I guess it’s fair to invoke the Taiwan model since the US has some role in its survival.
But it’s really different as the Chinese play the long game.
They did with Hong Kong and it paid off and they are doing the same with Taiwan.
We GOT no bizness guaranteeing security in central Europe.
The supranational EU should have put security as its organizing principle, but it was dominated by the German bankers who put profits over security and expected NATO to handle security and Uncle Sam to be played the patsy by funding way more than its fair share.
We fought two wars and rebuilt a stable Western Europe.
We gave them everything we were able to give them EXCEPT that which has always made America great which is a SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE.
As far that Spirit goes, they don’t got it.
You will ONLY find such a spirit with a God-fearing people and there are very few of those residing in the EU.
The only thing keeping the peace in Korea are U.S. boots on the ground and a strong Air Force.
Do the people of Ukraine deser vto beRussian slaves to former KGB agent? If your answer is yes what did the Ukrainians do to deserve that? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Ukraine's constitution requires it to be neutral toward Russia and the Russians won't settle for anything less.
Zelinsky is gone the moment the war is over. His value to the Ukrainian state drops to zero once there is no longer a need to use him to extract aid from the West. There likely will be a foreign aid package for rebuilding Ukraine, but they won't be extorting money from the US congress or the EU.
“”””Only a global homo still fighting the cold war would wish death on the Russian people. Hey the 80’s called and said the cold war is over gramps. I never knew so many arm chair general boomers were fags. This is what Lindsy would say.””””
Are you addressing that to president Trump? Look at his national defense actions and spending and his military budgets during his years as president and you will see that the Russia threat is a major target of them.
