If the US thinks the Russians are going to take this lying down (and on the eve of peace talks (!) ), they are sorely mistaken. And to think it is precisely the expansion of Nato from 2008 on, right up to Russia’s borders, and our “nothing to see or hear” brand of foreign “policy” that triggered the SMO!! Beyond crazy. Utter nihilism.
Maybe Trump will be made aware of the outrage of denying the earned victory of the national election to Mr. Georgescu by the outcry from American MAGA supporters who compare the situation to Trump's 2016 victory being "rejected" by rabid Hillary followers and the whole Democrat Party; and that, followed by Trump's 2020 victory being "outright denied" through sneaky election crimes and permitted illegalities. Also, P.M. Orban talks with Trump often---and Orban can inform Trump, with colorful specifics, about USAID/CIA, National Endowment for Democracy NGO interferences---in case Trump wants more proof that U.S. foreign policy engagements are anti-peace, and quite deadly.
NATO is no longer fit for purpose, the supposed purpose being collective security of the member "states" . . . vassals. NATO is a tool, mostly obsolete today, one cannot successfully use farrier's tools to change a flat tire.

Of course NATO wants Eastern Europeans serfs to die for their cause, it’s a return to the old Austro/Hungarian ‘frontier’ policy.

NB: Romania entered Nato in 2004. It was in ‘08 that Bushwack floated the idea of Georgia and Ukraine becoming members, IIRC.
