The second and third paragraphs I totally agree. None of them understand how masterfully Churchill and Roosevelt managed things. They actively worked the media. Our current leaders have no clue and they are not changing.
On the first one, Europe is ready. They are waiting for Trump. The wait is worth. It is not a mistake. It is a good decision.

It’s a good decision to wait for Trump if and only if (1) there is a greater-than-zero probability that US government might reasonably soon join a significantly effective additional sanctions package AND (2) they truly have the will to do it without the US if the US doesn’t join in a coordinated action soon.
My view in regard to (1) is that the relevant probability must be assessed as effectively zero.
In hindsight I have to admit that you were right. They were indeed waiting for Trump to make his move after having put him in a situation where really the only plausible move for him was to take himself off the board for now. They’ve played this very well.
My disappointment was premature and born out of impatience.
