It's not true that the conflict in Ukraine is going badly for the US. It's been a huge success for them.
Especially for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Blackrock, the only interests that matter.
Did the US permanent State really think that they could weaken Russia using Ukraine? They must have known that Russia would eventually be strong enough to spring the trap set for them; the 2014 coup, the neonazis and the shelling of the Donbass. However, the US doesn’t need to win a ‘war’ for the conflict to be a success.
Fighting to the last Ukrainian standing has produced huge profits for the US arms industry. The loans of $billions has forced Ukraine to sell her farm land and assets to America companies; though she will still be in debt forever.
The sabotage of NS2 and deindustrialisation is keeping Germany from any flourishing trade partnership with Russia. The European Union has been significantly depleted and weakened to the States’ advantage and presents no threat to them.
The US is preparing to use Israelis as a similar battering ram. The citizens are already part of an army. Iran is sufficiently advanced to spring the trap; hence the attack on the Iranian embassy. Everyone knows even if the US joined them Israel could not win a war with Iran. That is not the object of the exercise. The US lights the fuse, walks away and share holders in the arms industry get dividends.
The price of oil and gas rose at the start of the Russian SMO and since then OPEC refuses to release more barrels; keeping the price, and profits, for fossil fuels high. Even during the fake pandemic, which destroyed small business, when demand and price of oil plummeted; Big Oil still made a profit with tax payer bail outs or quantitive easing. The price for oil would inevitably go up during a conflict with Iran, even without, as Michael Hudson suggests, Iran sinking an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Since when has the US put consumers before powerful lobbyists? Damaging the oil trade would also damage China’s manufacturing capacity. Another win for the US.
Watching Iran and Israel battle it out, destabilising relationships in the area and making money are the objects of the exercise; regardless of who ‘wins’ or whether there are any Israelis left at the end of it.
Biden and his UK puppies will pretend to try and deescalate and blame it all on Bibi. This means they want escalation and to sit back and watch the money roll into the pockets of the MIC (the only pockets that matter).
Politicians do what they’re told. Pfizer, Moderna, Ecohealth and Think Tanks orchestrated a fake pandemic using hype by the compliant media and created a demand for a pancoronavirus vaccine; all for their shareholders. It worked out really well for them thanks to the gullibility of much of the public.
Part of these Think Tanks were the Rockefellers and giant cartels of Big Oil, agrochemicals and Big animal ag who were concerned about the growing public realisation of the negative effects of their products on health, the environment and the climate crisis.
So the Think Tanks used the deliberately infuriating, abusive and coercive measures of the fake pandemic, which, of course, created some voices of resistance. Industry had either already prepped and bought these voices or they fooled them into equating the stupid covid measures for a fake pandemic with all and any sensible, well evidenced and important measure to protect human health and the environment from a real crisis; caused by their industries. It worked out really well for them thanks to the gullibility of much of the public.
The conflict in Ukraine has also worked out well for industry thanks to ignorance. The same is happening with Iran and Israel’s alleged need for ‘retaliation’.
Politicians know that wanting to protect children’s lives is not anti-semitic. Politicians know that Israel struck first. Politicians know that there was no deadly virus, lab leaked or not. Politicians, even though they’ve abandoned the ‘green crap’, know that the human health and climate crises are real and are caused by burning fossil fuels, animal ag and the lack of investment in public transport and infrastructure. It’s all just absurd spin but it creates profits for monopolies and cartels who fund their political careers and bank accounts. And relies on public gullibility and ignorance.

I think the 'weaken Russia' thing was wishful thinking, but not really all that important to them. The MIC is always priority one. Besides, if Russia was no longer a "threat", then the military spending goes down. The US absolutely loves who they call 'despots' because they provide the never ending excuse for war.
