Russia, Iran and Divisions in the White House (The Duran)

Neocons vs realists, and Trump is a realist. Trump is walking away from the conflict in Ukraine already, and is walking away from Europe in general. No deal will likely be made to help Zelensky at this point.

When it comes to Iran, the Trump Administration is in negotiations (while it is continuously bombing Yemen, likely as a negotiating move?), and has asked for Russian cooperation in the talks (where Russia also does not want Iran to field nuclear weapons).

While things have not yet been sorted out, in terms of avoiding an expanded or extended conflict, in either situation, there are very positive indications that the worst case scenarios will not unfold.
