7. I think the tables have turned

Trump messing with Ukraine had the side effect of solidifying Euro support of Ukraine. And Now Z is in a much stronger negotiating position. Beginning with the fact that Russia violated the nuclear weapons treaty with Ukraine, then they invaded U, then they lost their asses and a lot of money, Z can say, "GTFO, and we'll return your frozen assets after you pay for damages to your country.
Pedo has no leverage here at all, and his word isn't worth a dime. And he's crazy. Z knows this, and knows Pedo will go along with anything as long as there is something in it for him, and he gets flattered.
What I hope is, Pedo will try to strong arm Z again, and Z will simply walk out. That will end the last bit of power the US holds in Europe.
