China compromised. It eschewed de-dollarization to continue a dollar based export economy under the more liberal faction (Li Qiang...)

Russia compromised. It seems the same happens with liberal faction overtaking the war economy faction

And to be caught pants down with that Ukrainians drone attack

Iran compromised. The Sunni coalition and Amrikkka surround it and its allies like eagles while Israel bombs it with little reprecussion, with Baathists and nearly Hezbollah neutralized.

That isn't to say their war is lost but that there's no salvation from them outside, anytime soon shrug-outta-hecks

All the while, creeps back in this petty pace of life, fascism in the full flesh, in the west.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Edit: I could be wrong but I don't wanna be disappointed at this point

But my take is that any of the regimes mentioned here would jump at the opportunity to be imperialist

This take is based on what though?

I think it's the fundamental rule of the game that they all play.

This is a very "the status quo is forever" type of thinking. The feudal states also believed in such narratives during the rise of capitalist powers.

i'm not sure i agree with the ee commenter (certainly wouldn't use "regime" like that) but i think it's within reason to say about capitalist geopolitics in this "end of history" period. if there's a global hegemon and it is capitalist then why would we expect anything else from them? china hopefully doing something else by virtue of not having capitalists in charge unless they cook up a business plot.

I know. I don't like either and hope it can change but I think it's what is happening.
