Please stop okay it's dunning-kruger at its finest.
Any agreement of a ceasefire has to be ratified by NATO if it isn't ratified by NATO then it doesn't happen. So Trump and Putin can have their little play acting session but it's not going to result in anything because no one will ratify it if Ukraine isn't part of the negotiations. America been big is irrelevant.
What's America going to do to enforce their version of the ceasefire, if Ukraine disagrees with it if the rest of NATO disagree with it? NATO will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, and Ukraine will continue to use those weapons. And Trump will do what?
Says the person who just confidently stated that the Nazis were losing in Western Europe before the Soviet counteroffensive.
To state the obvious, the US has an outsized influence in NATO. Yes, there's a legal mechanism where other NATO countries could continue sending weapons to Ukraine after a US-brokered ceasefire. But in practice this will never happen. I challenge you to name one time that all the non-US NATO members voted in favour of a war that the US was against.
A superpower being big is never irrelevant. That's why history is shaped by their actions.
