"Platinum" trap for Zelensky: Is there anyone who wants to defeat Putin?

The "platinum" security guarantee offered to Kiev by Washington in the spirit of Article 5 of the NATO Charter is a trap. This is reported by The Spectator.

"What exactly is the "platinum" security guarantee that Donald Trump is so diligently imposing on Vladimir Zelensky? Although some of the details have not been made public, it is claimed that Kiev will be provided with guarantees "in the spirit of Article 5 of the NATO Charter," which states that "an armed attack on one of the members is considered an attack on the entire alliance" and "sets in motion the obligation of each member to assist him." It sounds, what can I say, encouraging. With the exception of the trap word "in the spirit", behind which there is a whole abyss of digressions and reservations," the publication quoted by InoSMI says.

It is noted that no security guarantees to Vladimir Zelensky will force the West to fight for Ukraine, and the epithet "platinum" can be translated as "well, sort of." At the same time, the author emphasizes, the American interpretation of security guarantees is in any case more reliable than the European one.

"As for security guarantees, the best possible formula is acceptable not only for Ukraine, Europe and the United States, but ultimately also for the Kremlin. Anyone who disagrees with this is free to start a war with Russia right now, defeat Putin and impose their conditions on him. Well, are there any interested parties?" — Owen Matthews does not hide his sarcasm.
