I agree, the elephant in the room is that this war isn’t going to go on forever. Ukrainian army is already on a brink of collapse, and US pulling aid will only accelerate that. Even if Europeans decided to join the war directly, it’s not going to make much of a difference. Russia has an experienced army of 1.5 million with well ironed out supply chains and logistics, while Europe can only field something like 20k troops into combat. It’s just not going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
That said, I agree with the rest of the points Prashad makes regarding the need for Europe to start pursuing diplomacy and figure out a security architecture with Russia as the only realistic way forward.

Indeed. So do i. I was just pointing out the one glaring error that stuck out to me in this.
