US vice-president JD Vance seemed to dismiss and insult the militaries of the UK and France on Fox News .

But it isn't ridiculous for the US to question value of a European -led deterrence mission inside Ukraine .

The credibility of a potential European deterrence force inside Ukraine depends on whether the capacity is present and whether the countries involved are willing to follow through and fight back if Russia breaks a peace deal.

Would the rest of the alliance stand by as member states are challenged, or enter the conflict? Neither choice would be appealing.

The first would compromise Article 5 , the pillar of the transatlantic alliance, by creating new exceptions to what it covers.

The second would bring Nato into a war with Russia .

Has Starmer thought of these contingencies?.
