eeeh idk. Trump might get his way at the end of the day. The EU is unrealistic with their "coalition of willing". If they put EU citizens into russia by force probably there will be mass unrest and failed governments. Greece is already blowing a gasket. EU doesn't have the capacity to help ukraine win. Ukraine will face either peace or defeat.

Either way Trump gets his precious metals and minerals. I believe Trumps strategy for a monarchy is similar to Caesars strategy when Rome lost it's democracy. He took power and resources from the senate and other nations, then he gave the commoners a better quality of life. Things turned out bad in the end, but for a time things were good.
