  1. For 80 years, Europe needed to get its act together. President Stubb's European plan is President Trump's plan already in motion: 1 pre-negotiations, US began in Munich, Saudi Arabia, multiple conversations with EU, Ukraine & Russia. Second phase ceasefire, for weeks President Trump attempted with Zelenskyy including signing the rare earth mineral agreement. After multiple closed door meetings with Zlenskyy agreeing with US leaders to sign a minerals deal, Zelinskyy days later claims to reject or make new demands. The third phase: US mediates between Ukraine and Russia. Nothing is done without Ukraine. Like the EU, President Zelenskyy talks of more war with the US paying the bill. In addition to the $175 billion in five US Congressional appropriations bills in aid to Ukraine, $106 billion directly to Ukraine, are US billions of dollars of Presidential . Additionally, US sent since August 2021, $27.688 billion from DoD stockpiles. The US provides spaced paced technology Europe cannot provide totaling billions of dollars in operating costs for satellites, GPS navigation and encrypted communications. Europeans do not want to talk about the total costs of support because it would reveal how far they lag behind after decades of defense cuts.
