Hmm, there is a much better solution than to surrender : Europe sets up her own defence force and steps out of NATO.

Once the US are out of Europe, Russia's threat to her borders is gone, her troops can retreat and the money both of them reserved for death and destruction is jointly spent helping Ukrain rebuild under the flag of the Minsk II agreement.

The door is then opened to the whole of Europe for renewed trade and cooperation, as General De Gaulle put it, "from the Atlantic to the Urals".

Peace and prosperity instead of death and destruction. Sounds like a very good deal for all the Europeans and all those who depend on Russian and Ukrainian food stocks.
