The drivers of perpetual war in the US are not purely ideological. They are also driven by the warped capitalist profit machine.

Which Trump is fully paid into and has zero interest in changing.

So war will go on.

Maybe not by intention, but simply because Trump is simply a charismatic “Joker”, a wild card, but isn’t a reformer and has no holistic agenda that could turn the situation around.

Even a superficial US peace with Russia will still leave the war machine pumping weapons into Poland, Romania, Scandinavia and the Baltics - and war will ensue there

Similarly there is no fundamental capability or financial interest innTrumps admin to stop the drive to war with Iran and China.

So endlessly warring and WW III is still on course. Because Trump is a charismatic and superficial personality but isn’t bringing and ideas for change that can plausibly add up a stable peace and a fundamental reformation and eradication of the machine of war for profit.

Well, Trump announces he will make peace in Ukraine. That is a good thing. On the other hand he will raise the Nato budget from 2 to 5 percent. Against whom? Against China and Russia of course. A compromise between Trump and Deep State?

Peace and civil society must really be in a bad state being dependent on Trump.
