Diplomacy is dead.
The Americans voted it away when they elected the Emperor that runs the world through transaction....ergo Ukraine sign away half of their resources at the point of Russian missiles.
Iran and Israel have been waiting to get at it for years, both are bad actors, it looks as though the far right Israeli govt have realised that the best time to go to war with Iran is while a fascist is backing them in the states.
Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps things will settle down. When I see Trumps Army on the streets of a state he dislikes....I do not see World War being avoided.
To be honest, was it really any better under Biden, or whoever was pulling the strings. They were a bit better at disguising their intentions maybe. The US, Israel, UK, and NATO, any other so called good guys in the world. They do not listen to, consult or listen to their populations. They are following their neo -liberal agendas. They do not care about their own people, let alone their armed forces. How much consixeration will they have for the people of Iran. Now I say this knowing you have lost a personal friend but the same lack of care is shown to the Ukrainian people.
