That is interesting, but it has not happened
Really? The conflict in Ukraine is a hybrid proxy war between Russia and the US for influence in Europe. It seems that Europe is no longer interesting to the US.

That is not a fact, it is your interpretation. Europe has not become a protectorate of Ruzzia, but it certainly getting ready to provide Ukraine with means of self defence... so, nothing like you predicted. Â Just keep it there and wait, who knows... maybe in 100 or 200 years your descendants will claim you were right or something like that.
I saw a video of Macron and Trump meeting yesterday, where they were patting each other's knees. Macron flew to Washington to make a strong statement about Europe's support for Ukraine, and left as a fan of Trump's peace plan. Europe can't do anything alone, because it is not a subject.

Europe cannot do anything together because is not what?? You probably mean is not a single country under a dictator?

You probably have not heard about the European Union. It is not a single country, but when it comes to doing things together, eventually they do things together. Decades ago it was just a free trade zone, now has a political union and well, I guess we have to thank Putin for making Europe now have to be a military alliance.

I have seen the video too. If Macron is smiling I can already tell you that he got what he went to seek.

Macron held several meetings with Putin and phone calls at the beginin of the war, however he was not able to stop the war. Now Macron has spoken with Trump about deploying EU troops in Ukraine. Trump only cares about not spending resources in Ukraine because either he is being paid by Putin (likely) or he really does not get how important is to have Europe as ally.

Either way it does not matter, if there are European troops in Ukraine, the development of the country and the business opportunities that come with it should be good enough to create the European army. Ukraine will become a military production world class power and most likely Europe will launch an enhanced nuclear weapons programme - many countries were wondering what to do with all that Plutonium from the nuclear reactors anyway.
