    They’d also get a much smaller NATO. I know we can’t count on USA right now as an ally, but that can still change within the next few decades. But weakening NATO that much would be the world’s biggest gift to Putin and Russia.

    With peace he’d rebuild and try again in a decade, but with your proposal, without having to worry about the 50/50 chance of USA being with him or against him.

      Ukraine would be a powerful addition to the European Alliance. Putin has to be offered something to entice him to accept the peace proposal. Remember the US would not be part of the European Alliance and would not be permitted to have a military presence in Europe but if Russia invades Europe the US could join the fight with Europe.
