Eastern Europe's fate in hands of major powers once again.

Russia and the US just held talks on ending the war in Ukraine — without Kyiv. Eastern European history shows it isn't rare for major powers to decide the fate of smaller states.

As a solution for defending Ukraine, Trump proposed voiding NATO. In the case of a Russian-staged provocation, European forces on Ukrainian soil would be seen as aggressors, nullifying the Article 5 guarantee. Since US is not interested in a serious defense alliance in Europe, countries vulnerable to a Russian invasion must create their own, as none of them can defend themselves alone.

You'll know you're about to be totally shafted when Trump's pick of a US general says, " ... That's why Europe will not be involved in the negotiations, but its interests will be taken into account. "

Governments in Europe might have to go all in for Ukraine, against the USA's orders, to stop Putin expanding further into Europe.
