An EU leader (President of Finland) has looked toward expansion into the western hemisphere in considering the idea of bringing Canada into the swelling political power of Europe. Since U.S. leaders generally were deaf and dumb to the likely consequences of European power rising swelling N.A.T.O. and the E.U. after the Soviet Union faded away, reacting to the transformed political structure of Europe was missed. The EU would not only not relinquish the Ukraine wrested away from Russia by an Anglophile U.S. President (Bill Clinton) importunately during negotiations to end the Soviet State and found new political boundaries and leadership, it would promote expansion in every way possible through war and expanding memberships. The Finnish President wants to expand the EU to 40 nations- probably all in N.A.T.O. as well.

The U.S. in failing to normalize relations with Russia and settle the Ukraine issue- at least for its own purposes- is standing flat footed while Europe drives to the hoop competing for global economic and military championship. THe EU recently decided to challenge American leadership in chip production creating a new program for that purpose and has effectively taken over N.A.T.O. to suit its own purposes.
The U.S.A. should scale back its N.A.T.O. participation and limit it to fewer circumstances for use. It should seek renormalization of diplomatic and political relations with Russia- perhaps entering into a trade agreement with it equal to that of USMCA, and also support renewal of opportunities for any American state in the western hemisphere to become a part of the United States if it wants to.
Some U.S. leaders may consider short term advantages that giving Ukraine advanced done flying A.I. systems bring in attacking Russian fuel production and delivery infrastructure reason enough to continue indirectly supporting the Ukraine war. Yet Russia may innovate remedies like building a 12 mile long undersea pipeline instead of using the Ukraine bridge to have trucks take oil and gas to the Crimea. A fuel dump and load into a pipeline or into containers for a pneumatic tube pipeline below the sea bed would be hard to destroy and easy to repair or replace. Russia is not likely to quit its engagement with West Ukraine to recover East Ukraine from the EU.
The Ukraine war cannot end without the west conceding Eastern Ukraine to Russia. An interminable armistice would just give each time more time to design, compile and reload even more advanced weapons systems and at minimum bring decades of tension and instability to the world. The United States could end the war by choosing to fully restore amicable relations with Russia. Russia and the United States together would be too much of a mountain for the EU, presently, to overcome in its endless quest to rule the world.
