Rubio, ready to end Ukraine peace efforts in days.

 TRUMP SOON READY TO MOVE ON TO OTHER PRIORITIES

EU AND UKRAINE NOT READY FOR PEACE

Marco Rubio made it clear yesterday that if no serious proposal in the next few days the Trump administration is going to end its efforts at a peace deal in Ukraine. It is clear that the EU and Ukraine are not willing to come to an agreement in the near future. They still hope for an escalated conflict with U.S. support to defeat Russia.

I would expect that if no progress in days, the U.S. will not only be out of the peace process but also out of support for the war.

More serious dangers to the U.S. interests are underway on several fronts. Trade negotiations with most of the world, risk of a spreading conflict with Iran, that will damage the worlds economy and then the plight of the dollar and the debt crisis.

While Trump claims that Ukraine is not his war, it is sorry to say, a U.S. inspired war. NATO expansion was embraced by Clinton, Bush2, Obama and Biden, we can now see that it was widely supported by the UK and France among other NATO countries. The U.S. knew very well that NATO expansion would provoke a confrontation with Russia. Some hoped to damage Russia, cause a collapse and overthrow of its government, it is not going as planned, but yes it is a U.S. war.  In fact it is a defacto NATO war with Russia. A war NATO can not stomach losing, even while it is damaging themselves economically, politically and soon with social unrest.

It is time for Trump to exert more leadership and publicly admit the failing and publicly end support for this war, or it will continue until much more serious consequences become evident. 

Let the other NATO members place the blame on Trump, as they will surely do, but it will be in the best interest of the Ukrainians and the rest of the world.
