Witkoff being both an envoy to Russia and Israel/Iran "peace" makes it certain that US seeks a link between the 2: Get Russia to back off on Iran support.

The peace deal that Russia supposedly has agreed to, is far short of their objectives, and peace. No demilitarization of Ukraine (or mutual demilitarization), and no denazification, or agreement to not rearm Ukraine for further nazi evil. Tolerance for Zelensky still exists, including repeating lies on easter ceasefire.

This won't stop the deranged from claiming that Trump is a Putin puppet, as the distraction from Trump is an admitted Netanyahu/Adelson puppet.

Japan is weakest nation in world due to export reliance and high debt to GDP. Like all nations, exports to China are close to or larger than exports to US, and a US depression and extortionist attitude will reduce US attractiveness.

Any success for US empire diminishment of China requires its colonies to fully and unanimously commit to the empire's evil.

Sides too far apart is OP claim. Real causes for failure:

Demonic European evil in support of collapse.

Objective and Russian reality is that US provoked Ukraine war through coup and nazi puppetry. That Europe needs to double down on its propaganda support for US war, is a function of CIA controlled democracy that created EU leaders, and so consistency in evil even as US directly threatens EU, and a preference for misery, social austerity, and collapse provides a reason for Europeans to support their rulers tyranny/championing for war on Russia. The Europeans are already fully programmed for CIA agenda.

Peace in Ukraine requires Ukrainian demilitarization and denazification. The obvious demand to make of Russia is to also demilitarize. Instead of Russophobia and warmongering that continues to see Russia outproduce the entire west militarily, and over double Europe, EU could focus on useful production and prosperity.

In fact, the path to destabilizing Russia, is through peace

quote:

Russia, for its part, has left the door open for honest negotiations and has provided the United States ample exit ramps from both an unwinnable proxy war and indefinite confrontation with Russia into the future. The US is obviously not interested. Russia had, throughout “peace talks” with the US, continued its war of attrition against Ukrainian forces, continuing the process the New York Times describes as the central contributing factor for the proxy war’s current failure. The real question that remains is whether or not Russia can continue this process at a faster and more effective rate than the US and Europe can continue “donating more ammunition and equipment” to Ukraine while attempting to expand their “defense industrial bases.” Only time will tell for sure.

As Syria has demonstrated, a proxy war the US has lost one moment can be frozen, revisited, and eventually won if it is able to overextend designated adversaries like Russia and Iran for long enough and extensively

US evil projection in world depends on its aircraft carriers.

There is a contrast between reddit/lemmy reactions to Trump and X. Where X has many repeats the affirmation of unconditional primacy that is beyond attack. This is a major test of the delusion, but the walkbacks are signs that the US will decline, and world will pounce on the failed delusion.
