I constantly repost Gen. Hodges on X & send his articles out. His take is usually spot on. Recently I've been reposting & sending to all his interview where he said "Europe has all the economic and military power to defeat russia in Ukraine". He talked about the fact that russia is weak and must be defeated.
So I don't really understand his take here that we are headed towards "peace talks" and need a "peacekeeping force". Undefeated Putin will not stop & if he did for a bit, a peacekeeping force will never deter him. Also Eur army fighting russia head on seems pretty unlikely.
Does Europe wait till he gets stronger? He is weak now, rssia can be defeated in Ukraine now.
So I don't see why resign ourselves to ho this route? This is the interview I mentioned:
Europe had better realize that they are on their own. T47 will not honor the NATO agreement and they must do what the general suggests. This is the time for them to step out on their own and I wish them well. I STAND WITH UKRAINE
An excellent list of steps to attain peace between Ukraine and Russia, The hardest part may be getting the EU in general, and NATO in particular, to become sufficiently and quickly organized and able to sufficiently cowe Putin.
While I hope for a future with less armed conflict, it is important to understand the kind of preparation that European nations must undertake to preserve their own territorial and political sovereignty against the predations of Putin.

Until Putin is dead, no deal will happen.

Ukraine will come out as the next global leader. Zelensky is the leader everyone has been looking for. Europe just needs to back him up.
