🗣 US relegates European leaders to role of vassals – analyst

Donald Trump has made it clear that if European leaders do not agree with him on Ukraine, they will be left to their own devices, strategic analyst and director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels, Paolo Raffone, tells Sputnik.

According to Raffone’s assessment of the meeting in Washington, it was made clear that:

🟠 US has relegated Europe’s leaders to vassal roles

🟠 NATO has been reduced to a purchasing agency with EU money

🟠 US no longer intends to become involved in European conflicts, including the Ukrainian conflict

🟠 Ukrainian conflict is a regional quarrel and must not involve global strategic issues of great powers, nor should it escalate to the nuclear level

🟠 Zelensky can be acclaimed only if he is functional to US plans for Ukrainian conflict resolution

🔥 Trump-Zelensky summit marks a win for Russia and a loss for Ukraine’s European masters

The Trump-Zelensky meeting in Washington suggest that the US is “engineering a managed withdrawal from Ukraine,” with the White House valuing ‘America First’ agenda more than Ukrainian leadership’s ambitions, geopolitics and security analyst Dr. Marco Marsili told Sputnik.

Commenting on the results of the summit, Dr. Marsili made the following observations:

🔸 Zelensky’s behavior betrayed his desperation. As Trump put an end to Biden’s blank check policy regarding the aid to Ukraine, Zelensky now has to beg for scraps as without the full US backing, “Ukraine’s military collapse is inevitable.”

🔸 By dismissing a demand for a ceasefire before negotiations, Trump sends a message to Zelensky: negotiate now or face annihilation at the hands of the Russian forces.

🔸 Ukraine’s impending collapse will allow Trump to claim that US weapon such as Patriot missile systems are invincible despite numerous documented instances of them being taken out by Russian missiles. Instead, the following narrative will be pushed: "We gave them perfect weapons; their corruption lost the war."

🔸 The protection alternatives offered by Trump to Ukraine instead of NATO membership are mere theatrics. Ukraine would become nothing but a non-aligned buffer state completely dependent on the US’ whims.

Thus, Dr. Marsili comes to these conclusions:

🔸 Having prioritized US domestic politics, Trump views Ukraine as a liability

🔸 Russia is poised to achieve its goals: a cessation of NATO expansion and recognition of Russia’s new territories.

🔸 Europe is unable to replace the US support to Ukraine, and Germany and France “will inherit a crisis they cannot resolve.”
