Latest from Putin: “The Russians want about 6,000 square kilometers that they have not yet conquered through military force. That’s what the Russians want. The Ukrainians, on the flip side, want security guarantees, whether from Europeans or somebody else,” the US Vice President stressed.”

“security guarantees”

“Apparently the war in Poland is all but over....Britain and France have done nothing on the western front to relieve the tremendous pressure on Poland.”

Zelensky would be wise to ask for annual EU funding to retain in Ukrainian military service the battle-hardened soldiers he has plus money to buy weapons for them.

No one in Europe bothered with security guarantees after WWI and the Versailles Treaty. Most countries who fought in that war, decreased their military and defense budgets. England was more interested in making money than policing Germany. Germany never fully disarmed after WWI. The Krupp Group was still producing weapons despite of Versailles, and Europe failed to notice. And when Hitler began his saber rattling in Germany, nobody in Europe paid much attention to that either.

So good luck Ukraine with security guarantees from the EU. They can't even afford, nor are they willing to protect their own country's borders, let alone yours. And the U.S. shouldn't be anywhere near this. We've wasted enough taxpayer money, depleted our own oil reserves, and weapons inventory, when it wasn't even our war to begin with. No more proxy wars with Russian, China or anyone else.
