Donald Trump's first 100 days of second administration are a series of disasters and compromising escapes from the consequences of his own irresponsible actions. The large deportation of immigrants halted and shamelessly silent. DOGE activity generating only a fire like delays in retirement payments and compromising the U.S. image on a global scale, but almost no budget savings. Customs introduced respective times only to be cancelled after a fewer days again (even against China) in awe of the collapse of stock exchange listings, losses of American corporations or the sale of US bonds. small wonder, then, that American efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine will besides be a disaster.
Trump acts as if he can dictate the terms of ceasefire or even peace to the full world. Meanwhile, his subsequent defeats, including the most spectacular around customs, slow make him a paper president – an object of mockery, mockery and average "beka" alternatively than a terrible tyrant who precipices the world. Trump one more time in his life inadvertently allowed himself to find himself in a situation where circumstances outweigh his capacity for characterological flaws and intellectual deficit. For now, it's secret, but it's the laughing stock of the planet again.
The location of Ukraine is bad. Indeed, the country is heavy dependent on US support and erstwhile it is completely withdrawn (which will most likely happen as the wake of the American peace negotiations) will be in serious trouble. If otherwise, Kiev would have long rejected Washington's insistent efforts to establish a "room" on fundamentally Moscow conditions, where Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, mostly acts as a notary to the Krellian communicative and demands. However, even Ukraine and its political leadership have their impossible lines, and they simply can't agree to a ceasefire under the conditions of giving Russia 20% of the country with zero guarantees of safety from the author of specified a "agreement", that is, the US. U.S. Vice president Vance threatens that the U.S. will “retire from this trial”. In the meantime, that would be very good news, due to the fact that Washington is mostly harmful today.
Regardless of the terribly hard dilemmas that Kiev must settle, Europe has no reason to feel bound by American arrangements with the Kremlin. Trump seems to think that he is negotiating with the Moscow government on behalf of Europe as well. It's not. It is on his initiative and as a consequence of his actions that the transatlantic alliance is presently actually de facto suspended. Trump has zero "papers" to promise Russia designation of its territorial achievements by the global community or the abolition of economical sanctions. He can only promise specified a decision from his country. Nor can he in any case dress up the British-French stabilization mission in Ukraine, due to the fact that he is not in possession of the decision whether, erstwhile and under what conditions it may occur.
Threatening Europe over and over with customs and another commercial sanctions, lifting a atomic umbrella, withdrawing allied guarantees, expressing Europe's community of values and judging (like the EU's accusing the “Nazism” of the alleged moral degeneration of the Old Continent, Trump himself broke off existing ties and stripped himself of the jacks that Europe could force to do something. Although he suspended duties (in panic over financial markets) for 90 days, Europe is not afraid of them now. There was a realization here that something had ended and we entered a fresh era. No 1 in the EU or London is presently reasoning about how to appease Trump and get a customs pardon. In Europe, we are reasoning of fresh strategies that will make us economically and militarily independent of our erstwhile allies from the ocean and let us to prosper despite customs.
Trump and Witkoff's mission is so doomed to failure due to the fact that Europe will not recognise the de jure of Russian plunder of Ukrainian land, nor will it abolish economical sanctions against Russia. The content of the Moscow-Washington arrangements will now have a zero impact on these decisions. Moreover, in consequence to events, Europe can and should confiscate frozen Russian financial assets and spend them either on further war by Kiev (if the war continues without US support), or on the reconstruction of a country destroyed by the Russians (if Ukraine accedes to a ceasefire under Trump conditions).
By attacking Ukraine militarily since 2014, Russia has yet lost a country that had previously been divided so that about half of the citizens preferred to bring Russia closer to integration with the West. In 2025, unleashing a full array of hostile campaigns and political initiatives, The USA Trump lost Europe, including central Europe, to date traditionally pro-American. There is almost no sympathy here, but the right-wing part of public opinion, which besides sympathizes with Russia. Transatlantic realities before January 2025 will no longer return in this generation, and subsequent disasters of this administration will be accepted in Europe with the highest satisfaction.
