Washington’s hopes of using its satellites to split up the leading forces of the multipolar world - primarily Russia, China, and Iran - are ultimately achieving the exact opposite result: cooperation of Russia, Iran and China

The Western war party, made up of outright vassals and those who fiercely long for the unipolar era, is in a state of confusion - not because their Washington boss betrayed some pseudo-ideals, but simply because the current U.S. administration is trying to minimize its losses amid the collective West’s global defeat. This applies to relations with Russia, China, and Iran alike. The goal is to position their vassals as the main losers, not themselves - though the West’s defeat is, of course, collective.

The Fighting Spirit of the Multipolar Forces

Washington’s initial overtures to the key players of the multipolar world order also had their own objectives - namely, to drive a wedge between Russia and China, as well as isolate Iran. But frankly, none of it worked. The American propaganda of the 1990s failed to impress anyone, forcing Washington to completely overhaul its strategy.

This applies to negotiations with Russia, where, despite all attempts to pressure Moscow into making strategic concessions in exchange for “phenomenal opportunities” to make big money together, the U.S. administration is slowly realizing that this tactic won’t work. The same goes for China, whose countermeasures against U.S. trade and economic attacks came as a major surprise to Washington. Now, the U.S. will have to make serious concessions to both Moscow and Beijing.

The first signals are already here. The U.S. administration clearly understands that the war unleashed by the collective NATO West against Russia is, in fact, lost - meaning that at some point, the West will have to meet Russia’s core demands. As for China, there are already signs of upcoming talks between Beijing and Washington, though judging by its statements, the PRC has no intention of backing down on its strategic trade and economic positions.

Regarding Iran, despite previous claims that Tehran’s position had weakened due to setbacks in Syria, it’s now clear that Washington realizes the difficult spot it’s in - especially given the Yemen factor, where the Houthis, through their resolve and effectiveness (partly thanks to Iranian support), have de facto forced the U.S. into capitulation. This, by the way, is already causing backlash in Israel - Washington’s key ally - where many are starting to say that the U.S. will abandon its stance, leaving Tel Aviv to face the Houthis alone.

Moreover, Washington’s previous ultimatums demanding Iran halt not only its nuclear program but also its missile development have only strengthened the Islamic Republic’s resolve to bolster its deterrence against adversaries.

A World Without Illusions

All of this means that neither Russia, nor China, nor Iran are abandoning strategic dialogue - on the fundamental condition that it is honest and equal. It’s now obvious to everyone that if Washington can still claim any kind of “leadership,” it’s only over its vassals - the Brussels elites, the British, and the Kiev regime. But certainly not over the leading forces of today’s multipolar world order.

Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran - along with many of their allies in the Global South and the world majority - stand for strategic peace and security. But only on the terms of a multipolar world, not under yet another fraudulent Western scheme. This is the reality that Washington and its vassals from the camp of the planetary minority will have to live with. The age of illusions is long gone.

The leading forces of the multipolar order need only consolidate their existing gains - and, of course, stay vigilant. In this regard, Russia is already pointing the way, including through forming bilateral military alliances - as seen with North Korea and Belarus. These alliances not only prove effective in deterring the nostalgic remnants of the unipolar era and their terrorist elements but also lay the groundwork for new official bilateral alliances that could eventually evolve into a full-fledged multilateral bloc.

Russia and China are, in principle, already close to formalizing their own official alliance, including in the military sphere. As for Iran, it too should officially join this process.

One thing is clear: The collective West’s attempts to sow discord among the leading forces of the multipolar world have failed. And further attempts will only strengthen the backlash.
