Donald Trump is getting ready to meet Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia. The press will call it a “historic peace summit” aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. But we should know better by now. Every time the U.S. talks about peace, it means war by other means.
This meeting isn’t about Ukraine. It’s about China.
Trump, in his reality-TV-meets-imperial-fantasy mind, believes he alone can persuade Putin to flip the board. He’s coming to the table with a deal he thinks is too good to refuse:
“You end the war, we forget the past, and together—America and Russia—we’ll take down China.”
That’s the real offer. Not neutrality for Ukraine, but a Cold War redux, with Beijing in the crosshairs.
It’s the same delusion that’s haunted Washington since Nixon and Kissinger thought they were grandmasters playing China off the Soviets. But this isn’t 1972. And Trump isn’t Nixon—he’s a declining empire’s carnival barker, peddling alliances no one wants anymore.
Putin will listen, nod, maybe even flatter Trump’s ego. He’s good at that. But when the cameras are off, he’ll say what the rest of the world is already saying:
“Mr. Trump, we’ve already won in Ukraine. Their surrender is a matter of time. And Russia doesn’t need your war against China. We’re building something bigger—a multipolar world where no single country gets to act like god and accountant of the planet. We’re not going back to your rules.”
Why Putin Won’t Bite
Russia and China have built something the West doesn’t understand—because it can’t. Their partnership isn’t a marriage of convenience; it’s the product of being choked by sanctions, targeted by “freedom,” and looted by the IMF for thirty years.
Putin knows the U.S. is not offering peace. It’s offering submission, wrapped in a press release. Russia’s future isn’t with the fading stars and stripes—it’s with the New Silk Road, with BRICS, with the nations tired of being treated like ATMs for Wall Street.
Trump can’t break that. Because Trump isn’t offering anything except the same old deal—let us rule together, or we’ll burn your house down.
Why Saudi Arabia?
That this meeting is happening in Riyadh is no accident. Saudi Arabia is the empire’s most loyal oil kingdom—but even they’re looking at the exits. They’ve been invited to join BRICS, but they’re hesitating. Not because they love the U.S., but because they’re trying to calculate the future.
For decades, the Saudis sold oil in dollars, and the U.S. sold them bombs and looked the other way when they dismembered journalists. That was the deal. But the world is changing. China is now Saudi Arabia’s biggest customer. Russia is an OPEC+ ally. And the U.S.? It’s busy threatening everyone with sanctions while its own people can’t afford insulin.
Trump’s meeting with Putin is also a performance for the Saudis. He’s saying: Don’t join BRICS. Stay with us. We can still police the world.
But the Saudis know what we all know. The U.S. can still kill, but it can’t lead. As the Chinese might say, Uncle Sam does not have the mandate of heaven.
When the Deal Fails: The Empire Doubles Down
Here’s the thing: Trump will fail. Putin won’t sell out China. Saudi Arabia will smile, stall, and keep hedging.
And when Trump’s fantasy of dividing Eurasia collapses, the empire will do what it always does—grab the nearest stick and start swinging.
That’s where Latin America comes in.
We’re already seeing it:
– Panama Canal—targeted.
– Venezuela—starved.
– Cuba—blockaded (as always).
– Nicaragua—demonized.
When the empire can’t control the future, it tries to strangle the present. If the U.S. can’t break Russia and China, it will tighten its grip on the chokepoints—Panama, the Caribbean, the Arctic. It’s Monroe Doctrine 2.0, now with drones and algorithms.
This is the logic of technofascism—the final stage of a collapsing empire:
– Militarize the borders.
– Starve the periphery.
– Spy on the population.
– Privatize the state.
– Call it freedom.
They can’t win hearts and minds, so they monitor, deport, and sanction. They can’t build the future, so they throttle the present. This is empire without the dream—just the iron boot.
The Defining Moment
This summit will not bring peace. It will not forge a grand alliance. It will reveal what the rest of the world already knows:
The U.S. is still dangerous, but it’s no longer necessary.
Putin will go back to Moscow. Xi will keep building bridges. Saudi Arabia will keep talking to both sides, knowing the future is multipolar.
And Trump? He’ll come home claiming he “won,” because that’s what he does. But the empire he represents will know the truth:
No one believes the American Dream anymore—not even America.
The only question left is how much more violence this empire will unleash before it finally collapses under the weight of its own contradictions and lies.
