This Is Pure Gold))

Maybe they realize that, and let me remind you: 

Or that:

The United States wants to win its wars quickly and with the smallest losses in American lives. It is disinclined, therefore, to act on protracted and indirect strategies, or to engage in limited wars and wars of attrition. Once it resorts to arms, it prefers to mobilize the great might of its industrial plant to produce vast quantities of the means of destruction with which in the shortest possible time to undermine the enemy’s will and ability to continue the struggle. Extreme reliance on technological superiority, characteristic of U.S. warfare, is the obverse side of America’s extreme sensitivity to its own casualties; so is indifference to the casualties inflicted on the enemy.

Oh, it is more than "sensitivity"--it is panic in a face of the enemy which holds every single technological advantage across all domains (with the exception of the space based ISR, with Russia having second best satellite grouping) and consequences which logically flow from that for the US Armed Forces. Hence this buffoonery:

US President-elect Donald Trump has proposed that EU members send peacekeepers to Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire with Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Trump ran for the White House on the promise of negotiating a swift end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but has been reluctant to reveal any specifics of his actual proposal since winning the election. Speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky last Saturday, Trump argued that “Europe” should play the main role in monitoring a ceasefire and that no US troops would be involved, the Journal reported, citing “officials briefed on the meeting.” The Journal’s sources claimed that the proposal “started as quiet discussions between British and French officials about the possibility” before including Trump, Zelensky and other governments. According to one source, Trump also pushed the EU to demand of China to pressure Russia to end the conflict, suggesting the use of tariffs as leverage.

All this is due to the unfolding reality of Project 404 and desperate attempts by the West to save face and find somebody to hold the bag with known substance after Russians exterminate last reserves of VSU and hit wonderfully empty steppe spaces of the left bank of Dnepr. So, in the end those will be hypothetical "peacekeepers" from Europoodle armies who will experience first hand long-range fires of such density that few that will survive may still wish to be dead. 

Per China--considering what kind of garbage circulates in the top military-political circles in Washington under the tutelage of "intel", they still cannot get a simple fact--it is China that is dependent on Russia's military moves, not the other way around. In fact, it is Russia who attracted to herself all NATO resources thus buying China the time to get ready for possible attack on herself. But then again, Washington doesn't do strategy. You can see the signs of shell-shock everywhere in the West. They try but cannot hide, it is impossible to hide. Hence erratic behavior of the whole establishment. Trump, obviously, doesn't understand that he still has a chance to make this whole clusterfuck in Europe, 404 included, a purely Biden's affair, but the time is running out fast. 

Trump says he will not ‘abandon’ Ukraine. The US president-elect would not reveal details of his proposal for peace with Russia 

Sure, but then again--this serious game with consequences is for adults only.
