Kutarba: Ukraine could replace NATO as America's European security anchor

Commentator Marek Kutarba argues that Ukraine will never join NATO — but that this is not a defeat for Kyiv, rather the start of a new security order. In his view, the US is planning for Ukraine to serve as a buffer against Russia, with Europe taking on the role of its military rear base. This scenario would effectively end NATO's traditional role as the continent's main security pillar.
