Donald Trump’s plan to tap the retired US lieutenant general Keith Kellogg as US envoy to Ukraine and Russia has triggered renewed interest in a policy document he co-authored that proposes ending the war by withdrawing weapons from Ukraine if it doesn’t enter peace talks – and giving even more weapons to Ukraine if Russia doesn’t do the same.
Trump is said to have responded favorably to the plan – America First, Russia & Ukraine – which was presented to him in April and was written by Kellogg and the former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz, who both served as chiefs of staff in Trump’s national security council from 2017 to 2021.
The document proposes halting further US weapons deliveries to Kyiv if it does not enter peace talks with Moscow, while simultaneously warning Moscow that, should it refuse to negotiate, US support for Ukraine would increase.
I"ve read that the EU’s working on setting-up a standing army, small, but actual, & directly deployable…
According to this, nope:

it does seem strange, though:
the extra-delay of extra-layers-of-bureaucracy is idiotic, in some situations, &
NATO’s gutted, once Trump steps-in, as he’s a Putin ally, openly…
it’d be SANE to be doing that, with Trump & Putin dominating the world, in mere-weeks…
