US opens door to backing Starmer’s coalition of the willing
The Telegraph ^ | 25 April 2025 | Ben Riley-Smith

The US has privately offered to provide security guarantees for Sir Keir Starmer’s “coalition of the willing”, The Telegraph understands.

US officials have opened the door to giving intelligence and logistical support for British and European soldiers to back up a Ukraine peace deal from land, air and sea.

Donald Trump claimed a peace deal was “pretty close” after Steve Witkoff, US diplomatic envoy, held in-person talks with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president.

The development during negotiations is seen by No 10 as a significant breakthrough. The Prime Minister has been pressing Mr Trump for such guarantees for two months.

Whether the US would be willing to step in if Western soldiers were attacked by Russia – a critical point in the viability of the project – remains in the balance.

Sir Keir, Mr Trump and Emmanuel Macron, French president, will all be in Rome for the Pope’s funeral on Saturday, where informal conversations on Ukraine could happen, although no formal meetings are expected.

If you believe this British propaganda, I know a bridge in Brooklyn that’s for sale.

There is no scenario where we should consider putting US troops on the ground in Ukraine.

And, there is no reason to believe Trump would consider it.

It’s a balloon sent up to warn Putin to get back on the Peace Train.

Similar to pictures from Rome.

Trump will do peace OR war. He can’t walk away and allow Russia to wipe out Ukraine. I have a feeling that if America gets back in, the war will be fought very differently. The training wheels will have to come off and it will be fought TO WIN.

This talk of wiping out Ukraine and taking “all of it” doesn’t really mean anything.

The dirt still remains the people on it, growing food.

In fact, wiping out Ukraine doesn’t refer to anything other than a handful of people in the capital. Zelensky and some staffers.

Zelensky is the one that refuses to face reality that the annexed area will never be part of Ukraine and that the people there don't want to go back to being part of Ukraine.

It's past time to stop wasting money and resources on Ukraine.

“The US has privately offered to provide security guarantees”

Trump needs to explain to the American people exactly what that means. No more vague references.
