Reminiscent of Sykes Picot, and look how well that turned out

I dunno. Maybe they'll decide to use peacekeepers from a neutral country, such as Belarus?

Are we really that powerless. Europe has substantial military power even without the US. Russia is in poor shape. Could we not engage in some brinkmanship of our own. Move troops to the Russian border. Send more equipment to UKR. Some moves to a conflict footing

At what point does EU; UK; CAN etc. start finding a backbone and pushing back at the US on this (and other matters) or are we collectively too weak / divided and conquered already?

They’re probably banking on Europe being divided & not putting troops on the ground in the deal they’re stitching up. Ceasefire is forced on Ukraine & Putin restarts in 12 months time after replenishing his military. Europe needs to immediately step up & agree joint action.
