"The US is not going to get involved"
That much is clear 👌🏻
What isn't clear, though, is whether the US will sell weapons to its former allies.
The White House press secretary said just last week that the US can't keep selling Europeans weapons to give to Ukraine.

You could say that was just because the US government is anti Ukraine, but honestly, none of what the US is doing is about Ukraine.
It's about Russia.
If it was another European country in Ukraine's place, they would side with Russia then too.
NATO doesn't even factor into the equation.

« Ready » here is aspirational rather than realistic for now. More « I’m ready to kill you » than « I can pull it off ». But if the Europeans don’t get their act together to take the frozen assets and help Ukraine defeat Russia, the aspirational readiness will turn into real one if Ukraine buckles.

Ukraine already tried giving up land for Russia’s word to stop attacking, with the Minsk Agreements of 2014-15. Russia violated them with a full scale invasion in 2022.
Why would Ukraine think land for peace would work this time, especially when a Putin-sympathetic US won’t do security guarantees?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that if Ukraine takes the right steps, its GDP could surpass Russia’s within 10 years.
"They are literally fighting over a 30-50 km strip in Donetsk, roughly 20% of the region still under Ukrainian control and now a central issue in negotiations."

Horrible that a genocidal pariah like 🇷🇺 which has never honoured any negotiated treaty or agreement and has no respect for international law, can use the laws of the civilized world against us, but there it is.

I don't think Witkoff, Kushner etc are negotiating the end of the war or even discussing Ukraine as such, I think they’re primarily discussing the terms for removing U.S sanctions on 🇷🇺: what % of the frozen 🇷🇺 assets the US will get, mutual invest deals, & how to divide 🇺🇦 rescources in the occ terr.
