The 'surrender document' could herald the biggest transatlantic crisis since World War II. It's an old cliché that says; if you're not at the negotiating table, you're probably on the menu, says military analyst Michael Clarke in his analysis of the 28-point peace plan.
“And here it is, Ukraine is on the menu. His decision on the plan is so amateurish, besides being politically scandalous, because it is essentially a surrender document. Russia has given nothing and has not changed its demands compared to the first days of the war. Ukraine must give “more or less everything” in what looks like a “diminishment of its sovereignty” and leaves it “completely insecure ,” he said.
Regarding the future of the plan, Clarke said it looks like the Americans will throw this on the table and tell Ukraine: sign it. Meanwhile, the Europeans will try to inject a little professional diplomacy into the issue to strengthen some of this extremely vague language, he assessed.
-Trump and Putin as 'mafia bosses'
Clarke sees a "big message" beyond Ukraine in the document, that of US distancing itself from the NATO alliance
" Because if you just look at point four... it says that the United States will mediate between NATO and Russia to create a European security agreement... The United States in this document is talking as if it is not part of NATO, that when the United States, a founding member, talks about NATO, they mean the Europeans ," he added.
Clarke said this is giving Russia what it wanted before a full-scale invasion: control over the sovereignty of several Eastern European states, while NATO is withdrawing.
"This means for Europe that we are on the right track towards a major transatlantic rift, where the Americans say: you are alone, Europe. This is Trump and Putin as a couple of big mafia bosses. Everything could disappear. But on paper this is the biggest crisis in transatlantic relations since 1949 ," he concluded./ SkyNews
