US will not succeed in spinning this as something positive if they help Russia occupy part of Europe
On that you’re correct. But what they can at least try to do is make Ukraine look bad or difficult/subborn/whatever after rejecting their “peace offer”.
They can’t make Ukraine look any way unless there are idiots who believe Trump’s and Putin’s lies. And the only people who even pretend to believe them are their shitty quislings in the far-right parties. When Trump and Putin fall, which they will, those parties will dry and and blow away within months.
