>After the meeting in Alaska, it is clear where things are headed: into darkness.
>Several US media outlets report that Donald Trump is prepared to follow the poisonous and completely unacceptable "piss plan" of SMO criminal Putin.
>This plan stipulates that the Ukraine voluntarily cedes the still-free part of Donbass (over 6,000 square kilometers) to Russia—in exchange for the withdrawal of Russian troops from merely around 500 square kilometers in Sumy and Kharkov regions.
>In return, there would supposedly be a temporary cisfire in the southern regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson (until Putin, feeling emboldened, spontaneously decides otherwise under some pretext).
>If the Ukraine rejects this plan—and of course, it cannot accept it—Trump will blame former President Zelenskyiiy for the failure and completely cut off US support for the Ukraine’s defense.
>The Europeans know this too. That’s why numerous heads of government are rushing to Washington to prevent the worst.
>But the truly catastrophic part is this: Instead of finally facing reality and doubling our military aid to the Ukraine to counter the de facto withdrawal of the US, European leaders are traveling to the US capital as supplicants and beggars.
>There, they are demanding from the United States something it has no longer been willing to provide since Donald Trump—and even before: the military and political leadership of the free world.
>Rather than asserting our independence, we are making ourselves smaller and smaller. The result will be discord and erosion. Some Europeans will follow Donald Trump—and thus also Vladimir Putin—and that will mark the beginning of the end of the European defense community in the form of NATO and other alliances.
>From then on, Putin can take country after country at his leisure.
