Russia could offer a peace with Ukraine and long term peace with Europe, in return for dissolving NATO. The EU could form a new defense alliance, just without the U.S. I bet the EU would take that deal. Trump has pissed everyone off and shown himself to be so unreliable that it the value of an alliance with the U.S. is questionable to Europe anyway.
