I don't think that that would work out. Do some light, but firm, appeasement, strike a deal that respects Russian sovereignty and security interests, with both partners (the EU and Russia) making clear that the current borders and alliance affiliations are stable and can continue to exist, that Ukraine will not house NATO or other troops, and then fortify Europe as an actual global player by strengthening the competitiveness of our industries and building a powerful military. Over the next few years, phase out the American presence in Europe, e.g., at Ramstein Air Base, and do some counter-bullying of the U.S, e.g., ICJ convictions of Americans involved in the illegal invasion of Iraq. We need to get to the point where the U.S. is afraid of attacking territories like Greenland and mainland Europe in particular, in the best case with them uncertain whether they could even win an all-out war. Reduce dependency on American goods, regulate and punish American companies, and make sure that the world's freedom grows.
