Russia doesn't want "peace" they just want to stop the bleeding and regroup.  Any deal made with dickface putin is just a delaying tactic on his part.  He won't abide by it.  Anyone that thinks he seriously wants real lasting peace is about the dumbest fucker on the planet.
Now 94 that is a dirty,no good,low down,accurate thing to say

would be fabulous for US but- Ukraine has no money- and the Eurotrash send more money to Russia buying their oil & natural gas than they send in aid to Ukraine.
It depends on whose ox is getting gored,Euros have come to the realization that to depend on solar and wind power along with electric vehicles presently is a pipe dream. Can't blame them for wanting warm meals in warm homes taking hot showers. Or needing the fuel to drive to the grocery store,doctors office or anywhere else out of necessity,kind of like you do

Europe was mainly addicted to NG from Russia.  The petroleum is easier to resource.  The energy situation in Germany is ... weird, to me.

I say that because Europe doesn't matter anymore. The future is all about Asia and the Pacific. Europe is a diseased and dying continent- it has a 2,000 year history of constant never ending war, and I don't trust the Eurotrash with nukes that could wipe out the entire human race and kill us all.
Of course because knowing the USA employed the propped up waxen effigy of joe biden flanked by The San Francisco Treat with their fingers on the trigger sustained us all in our hours of darkness,Right?

A nuclear exchange between France and GB and "Russia" is obviously highly improbable (one hopes) and would not wipe out the human race.  It would get pretty bad of course.  Folks over estimate the power of nuclear weapons fairly often, which may be a good thing.

Obviously we aren't going to take away their nuclear weapons, so the question is very moot.  Europe likely is having serious security discussions right now for obvious reasons.  NATO without France is still "OK", NATO without the US is, well, a different thing entirely.

Aside from the possibility of Germany wanting nukes, Poland might be an even more likely candidate.  As for the NPT, most countries have signed it FWIW, including Iran, GB, and France.  Not Israel.

I doubt France, UK, and Germany really need nukes to combat Russia

Russia can't even run over Ukraine

a bunch of air power and conventional missiles/artillery could subdue Russia
Of course they need nukes to combat Russia.  Because Russia has nukes to threaten them. 

Russia's conventional power is completely shattered, you're right about that.  But if all they have to do to strong-arm you into submission is mention their nukes pointed at your country, and you don't have a nuclear counter to that, then all of the conventional power in the world can't help you.

I'm telling you the Poles get it.  They're smart, and they're fierce.  They really might be Europe's only real hope.

There are signs Europe is waking up to this new reality. On Sunday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk 
Donald Tusk 
pointed out what he called “a paradox” before leaving for an emergency summit in London. He noted that “500 million Europeans [are asking] 300 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians.” Tusk argued that Europe “must take greater responsibility for the continent’s security.

The Poles have a number of advantages in any war involving Polish territory.  One is being the home team of course, but more importantly, Poles are very nationalistic.  They have a very credible military and very motivated citizenry.  The know their history.  I wouldn't want to try and invade Poland.

sticks and stones are much more important here

same with France threatening with nukes

Detailing flagging profits from his art sales, Biden said that while he had sold 27 artworks for an average price of roughly $54,500 in the two or three years leading up to the lawsuit, he had only sold one piece of art for $36,000 since then.
Biden also described a slump in book sales, saying he went from selling more than 3,100 copies of his book from April through September 2023, when the lawsuit was filed, to about 1,100 over the six-month period that followed.
NBC News has reported extensively on Biden’s financial troubles and efforts to secure additional income, including a legal defense fund that ultimately did not get off the ground.
Biden was found guilty on federal gun charges last year, and he pleaded guilty in a federal tax case. President Joe Biden pardoned him shortly before he was scheduled to be sentenced in the gun case in December.
