If Europe is unable to stand up, Ukraine will be forced to rely on itself and a smaller group of allies that continue to give support. Threats to European security will grow immensely. Putin will get braver, meaning more war in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and beyond.🧵10/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

Europe is technically fully able to adapt and rise to this challenge, but the question remains one of political will, or the lack of it. Indecision will lead in only one direction, and it won’t be pretty.🧵11/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

I have always felt that China is looking for a way to emerge as the victor, and that is worryingly possible. If the US and Europe don't offer security to Ukraine, China might step into the gap, using its leverage on Russia. They could even offer a better deal than Trump's.🧵12/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

Ukraine has a lot to offer to China in return for security—rebuilding, ports, agricultural produce. There will be those in Europe who will support this. This gambit could be called a "Kissinger", splitting the US and Europe as Kissinger split the Soviet Union and China.🧵13/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

It gets worse. China as Ukraine's protector would start replacing the US in the role of keeping Russia out of the Eastern Flank. EU countries in the East would be dependent on China's protection and the racketeering would spread West.🧵14/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

What needs to happen to avoid this all-too-likely disaster?

I am fully aware that my suggestion leads only to blood, toil, tears and sweat. But we have done it before and we can do it again. The alternative is to rebuild the continent after another devastating war, and that would be much harder and take much more time.🧵16/17— Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 (@GLandsbergis) February 15, 2025

This video is about Ukraine, but doesn't inspire a peace treaty. It shows they're puppets, which may or may not be true. Why would they just accept anything though. They've still lost land, family, etc. They need someone to actually stand up to Russia. Won't be Trump though.— 19TrailBoss (@ATLien007) February 16, 2025

Ukraine hasn't fallen in 3 years and has no where near the military of Poland, let alone the US, would suggest that your are wrong in your assumption. Russia also unsuccessfully invaded Afghanistan.

US "plans for Europe" are clear. Like a teenager whose parents said time to get a job, the Americans said it's time for Europe to stand on your own. If that scares you, that's not unusual. But it's still time for you to grow up.— RetiredPublius (@ProffesorPubli1) February 16, 2025
