It’s always been A or B: A: Americans are tired of funding Ukraine, so Zelensky can either get money/troops from elsewhere or agree to terms, and since Putin won’t quit funding his side of the war, either cede territory to get him to stop (as he won’t attack a NATO nation outside of Ukraine but will keep attacking Ukraine unless land is ceded), or it’s: B: Zelensky can get Western Europe to fund the war and send troops to help him. Since half of B will soon be evaporated, and Western Europe doesn’t want to shift funding from their social welfare programs to fund Ukraine, it’s Zelensky and Ukrainian’s fight alone or Zel agrees to A. With the US putting in $0 into the kitty, it’s Western Europe funding it all on their own (not gonna happen) by handing the money over to Ukraine or sending in their own troops with the paltry land forces that the UK has, while keeping the money for themselves and building up their forces to send into Ukraine, both of which would have the end result of having to shift money from their generous social welfare programs to the military plus the addition of having to draft people to go to war, which could lead to riots.
