London wasn’t a peace summit. It was Europe’s latest reminder that history has moved on without it, and the war it claimed to lead is now being resolved above its head.

Starmer, Macron, Merz, Zelensky stood on the steps of 10 Downing Street in a tableau of choreographed solidarity. But solidarity is the privilege of actors who still influence the plot. Europe surrendered that privilege the moment it mistook moral theater for strategy.

Trump’s envoys sit for five hours with Putin in Moscow, not to posture but to negotiate, to test red lines, to outline the architecture of closure. Then they fly to Miami for marathon sessions with Ukraine’s team, hammering Zelensky with an updated plan that demands deeper territorial concessions, tighter constraints, and weaker security guarantees. When they finally get him on the phone, they expect a quick “yes.”

That’s not diplomacy. That’s the U.S. preparing to seal a conflict it no longer intends to backstop for its European vassals.

And Europe? Europe rushes to London not to shape peace, but to delay the moment the truth becomes undeniable. Macron claims, with theatrical bravado, that Europe has “a lot of cards in our hands.”

Cards? Europe is holding nothing but nuclear IOUs, frozen assets it doesn’t legally own, and a fading moral noscript Europeans have long stopped believing in.

Power isn’t a deck of cards, it’s leverage. And Europe’s leverage died the moment the U.S. announced it would no longer provide the post-WWII security guarantees the continent was built upon (via its new NSS). Washington is pivoting. Moscow is dictating battlefield and harsh economic reality.

Macron’s “cards” are the delusions of a gambler who sold his chips years ago and still insists he’s in the game.

Merz tries to sound serious by saying he's “skeptical” of US efforts. Starmer brands the gathering a “coalition of the willing.” But they come to London with no negotiating power, no military leverage, and no independent path to peace. They are spectators pretending to be authors.

Then Zelensky steps out and delivers the line given to him by his European managers:

“Russia insists that we give up territory. We do not want to give anything up. The Americans are currently looking for a compromise.”

This is where the facade ruptures.

Washington wants a deal anchored in the map as it actually stands, and to take the gift of an offramp. Europe needs the war prolonged — not to help Ukraine win, but to delay its own political reckoning and keep the graft flowing. Caught between them, Zelensky’s “sovereignty” has become a diplomatic prop, the hinge between American impatience and European denial, a symbol invoked by patrons who no longer share the same endgame.

Russia, meanwhile, understands perfectly that time favors its position. Its drone swarms, missile strikes, and grid attacks are not escalation for escalation’s sake, they are a reminder that Moscow sets the tempo, and that every passing month drains Ukraine militarily, Europe economically, and its exhausted narrative psychologically.

And then, from Doha, comes the unvarnished truth: Trump Jr. signals the U.S. may simply walk away if Ukraine refuses to move toward a deal.

Washington has options. Europe does not. That is the hard geometry of power.

Europe shackled itself to a proxy war it cannot direct, cannot finance, and cannot survive. It gambled its prestige on fantasies of Russian collapse, sacrificed its industries on sanctions that ricocheted back like shrapnel, and built its politics on moral theatrics that disintegrated the moment Washington embraced cold realism. Everything Europe claimed as principle now reveals itself as performance, and Europeans are done with the fraud.

History will remember this "summit" as a the moment Europe realized the war it cheered, financed, moralized, and catastrophically misread would be ended by the adults in the room, while Europe stood outside, clutching its illusions like cards it never possessed.
