[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would Europe and Ukraine agree to this?[/quote]

Europe doesn't really have the capability to support Ukraine. Some are bumping up defense spending to 5 percent of GDP now, but it's a little late. The reality is that Europeans and Canada have been parasitical countries for decades, simply relying on the US. And now they have the most significant war since WWII and Donald Trump to deal with with. And they are completely unprepared.

Europe is saying the right things now - and some countries, like Poland, the Baltics, and the Nordics have been on top of things. But good lord, western European countries have been pathetic for so many decades that it's going to be difficult to ramp them up for a major threat. But they do seem committed to supporting Ukraine - in their easygoing, no hurry, comfortable way.

If you are ever dependent on Canada, or Spain, or Belgium, or Italy, just surrender and get it done with. Absolutely pathetic countries.

But some countries are stepping up, like Germany, Netherlands and France - and the Nordic countries and Eastern Europe.

But the war in Ukraine is a very high intensity war. And NATO doctrine doesn't accommodate long wars. There isn't enough ammo out there to support three years of war. And then add the changing nature of warfare - drones - and it's clear the lazy West isn't prepared for this. At all.

Ukraine will have to make its choice. But this war does highlight how inadequate the US and the West are in near peer conflict. The US has air power now, and long may it continue. But it is a grim battlefield today. Unsurvivable for soldiers on the ground.

And Russian men have a very bizarre willingness to die. They are riding motorcycles now on their assaults over open land - and getting destroyed by drones, mines, and dialed-in artillery. The whole thing is sad and awful.
