Presumably, since only the United States possesses the ability to herd both sides into an agreement, Zelensky will give himself a brief cooling-off period and then tacitly accept the American proposals, perhaps slightly sweetened for face-saving purposes; the strategic minerals agreement will be signed and the European NATO powers will confirm the enhancement of their defence capabilities and Trump will advise Putin to accept terms which he has apparently practically accepted, or face an escalated and much more difficult and costly war. Peace should result; Ukraine will be secure and legitimate within revised borders, and it will be possible to negotiate a nonaggression agreement between NATO and Russia and begin the process of the repositioning of Russia out from under the smothering wing of China and back to a satisfactory working relationship with the West. Unseemly though it was, nothing that occurred at the White House last Friday significantly compromises any of this.

And the europeans are going to feel it:

"Europe must trim its welfare state to build a warfare state... Anyone under 80 who has spent their life in Europe can be excused for regarding a giant welfare state as the natural way of things… the welfare state as we have known it must retreat… By now, quick-minded readers will have registered what a more militarised, less welfarist continent would evoke: the superpower that is turning from it… Europe and America could end up looking much more like each other." A massive attack on living standards and the welfare state to finance a military build up is coming. Those who are complicit in this, through their support for Ukraine and expansion of NATO, are direct enemies of working class living standards.

Oh, yes. The party is definitely over:

"Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities.

ReArm Europe could mobilise close to €800 billion for a safe and resilient Europe.

This is a moment for Europe. And we are ready to step up."

And the cuts might hurt:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/03/05/ra...

Rachel Reeves is expected to cut billions from the welfare budget and other departments amid fears her £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom has been wiped out.
The Chancellor is reportedly plotting the “politically painful” cuts to curb Britain’s ballooning sickness and disability benefits bill at the Spring Statement later this month.
The Treasury will present its proposals to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to inform its official economic forecast on Wednesday.
It comes after Ms Reeves hinted that ministers will prioritise making efficiency savings over tax rises as part of the Government’s pledge to boost defence spending.
