The USA is anxious to exit the war in Ukraine to pivot to the South China Sea. But it is just giving the task of carrying on the war in Ukraine to the Europeans. The UK, France and Germany are already strutting their feathers against Russia, gloating about military buildups. However, Putin has seen through the ploy and is not falling into the trap set by the USA. No such thing as temporary truce to allow for Ukraine to regroup and rearm. The war in Ukraine will just probably enter the second stage without the USA involvement. Discreetly, I am not too sure that the USA will wash its hands completely off Ukraine.
The Middle East war on the other hand is not going to end anytime soon. On the contrary that war is expanding into Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and soon Iran will get involve as well. The USA is trying desperately to drag Iran into the conflict, giving it and Israel justification to attack Iran directly.
Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be prepared for an expansion of the bombings by Israel and the USA. The genocides will not just end in Gaza. It will be extended into Syria and Lebanon. We have already witnessed the genocides committed in Yemen when they were at war with Saudi Arabia, supported by non-other than the USA.
When genocides committed by the USA in Yemen earlier and with Israel in Gaza presently are being denied as genocides, while non-existent genocides in Xinjiang are gloated as genocides, we know that something is seriously wrong with the interpretation of the word 'genocide' in the minds of warmongers.
I could be wrong, but the current spate of activities by India, Japan and South Korea talking to China is a good sign that Asian leaders are beginning to see 'the forest from the trees' and not focusing on minor issues to go against each other's throat. This will not be good for the USA's agenda, and we can expect retaliations and sabotage to be conducted against those who do not toe the USA line. Perhaps touting the reminder that 'You are either with US or against US' will still make a difference. We have already seen Saudi Arabia crumbling like quicksand really fast.

Dr David Oualaalou on his Youtube site pointed out that Trump does even know how geopolitics work, touching on his comparison of Trump with Wang Yi and Sergey Lavrov, two of the most seasoned and experience men in the geopolitical arena. Comparing them with what we see of leaders now running the USA, it is like comparing adults with juvenile kids.
I would say that it is an understatement about Trump being a novice when dealing with geopolitics, with due respect to Dr. Oualaalou. Trump is just a bull in a China shop, bulldozing his way into satisfying his narcissistic ignorant ego. Trump came across the word 'tariff' and immediately calling it a beautiful word he discovered at age 78, as if it is something new but unfortunately turns out that he does not know how tariffs are supposed to work.
The irony is raising tariffs against everyone and everything on the pretext of protecting USA manufacturing is just plain nonsense, when the USA does not produce anything worth exporting except weapons or even consumer goods cheap enough for the rest of the world to buy. The USA just wants to force countries to buy expensive USA goods using tariffs, to allow it to continue to export its inflation globally. It is not going to work.
Furthermore, Trump is again gloating about making the USA rich again with his tariffs, but for whose benefit. As an added tax for USA consumers, making them rich is just plain hogwash and the added tariffs will just add more money to the treasury to allow Trump to cut taxes for the super-rich, reported to be about US$4 trillion. Trump has to find the funding to do that, now with countries ditching USA Treasuries and not buying USA debts. Yes, some people will be enriched by those tariffs, but not the common consumers footing the bill.
There is a comment that the USA has ten years left to prepare to fight a war with China. Why ten years? Ten years will be needed for the USA to gather enough raw materials, set up manufacturing chains, process those raw materials before being able to build all the weapons to carry out a war against China. That is a mountain to climb, with everything just floundering in the air.
China is already well prepared and yet will be spending more on its military upgrade. China plans ten years ahead in everything, not ten years lagging behind and getting stuck when the shit is being aimed at the fan.
