Failed to take down Russia but successful in taking down Europe. China is next.

 There appears much more under the surface regarding the weird behavior of J. D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference.

The USA under Trump is pivoting towards a conflict with China and the first thing to do is to try to pry Russia away from China. Trump is even prepared to throw the EU vis a vis NATO under the bus and is even prepared to give concessions to Russia in Ukraine, which is why the Europeans and Zelenskyy are kept out of the peace talk. Question is whether Putin is going to be persuaded and takes the bait, knowing that USA administration changes every four years and what is next with the next administration is uncertain. Will he take the risk, knowing that the USA can scuttle agreements at its whims and fancies.

Throwing the EU under the bus is just trying to convince Putin that the USA has given up support for NATO. Ukraine is already a lost cause for the USA anyway, and the EU is deemed irrelevant now after being used by the USA to further its agenda which has failed. The stupid Europeans are now nursing their wounds after suffering a massive slight and economic ruin.

Prying Russia away from China serves many purposes. It is an attempt to break up BRICS. Even his delusional gloating, days ago, about 'BRICS is dead' grandstanding by threatening tariffs of 100% if countries inside and those joining BRICS proceed to support de-dollarization. Those threats fell on deaf ears and did not make countries in the bloc lose their de-dollarization bearings. The bloc even took the opportunity to announce a summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 and 7, giving Trump its middle finger.

Trying to pry Russia away from China also means Russia's cheap energy to China could be affected and that will also affect China's cheap manufacturing base. Of course, this is provided Putin wants to divert his energy to the EU once again, which is contrary to USA plans under the Biden Administration, with Trump already forcing the EU to buy more USA energy under threat of tariff escalation if they fail to do so.

In tandem with this move, the USA is also cutting cheap Iran energy from flowing to China in its latest move. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil and doing it without the use of the US$ is another huge de-dollarization move.

Of course, China already knew this was going to happen, which is why China's energy supply now comes from so many sources. Moreover, China is leveraging on renewable energy reliance, building hydro-electric power stations all along its rivers, harnessing solar and wind energy as well. These are small sources, but China is experimenting with cheaper nuclear power generation, which is going to be a game changer.
