This strategy is unrealistic because almost all of the European leaders would NEVER agree to these concessions.
They view this war as an opportunity to ruin Russia. They don't want an end to the war at the cost of harming their primary objective.
One must operate in reality.
These concessions seem okay to you but it is absolutely DOA in real life.
USA announces it will leave NATO if Europe doesn't agree.
A U.S. president saying he will leave NATO is the height of masturbatory theorizing.
It will NEVER happen.
I'm just saying it can be negotiated. Trump has gone down that line of arguing before where he said NATO countries need to step up and pay their fair share.
It can't be negotiated like this.
You can talk tough all you want but when the rubber meets the road, the real powers that be will step in.
We saw how Trump's promises of ending the Afghanistan war ended up.
We also saw how Mexico paid for the wall.
Empty campaign bluster.
