What this Article is About?
This article argues that U.S. foreign policy prioritizes power and domination over real peace. Talks with Iran and Russia are framed as tools to enforce terms rather than find compromise. Western allies keep violence ongoing by supplying weapons and blocking efforts to stop it. The piece portrays global politics as driven by strength and control, with little regard for justice or human life.

The Illusion of Peace Talks
In 2025, diplomacy has become a tool not of compromise, but coercion. From Tehran to Moscow, Washington’s negotiations are less about securing peace and more about dictating the terms of global obedience. These talks, championed by figures like Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, are underpinned not by pragmatism but by a supremacist vision of world order. They echo the colonial doctrines of John Locke and Adam Smith, cloaked in modern rhetoric but rooted in centuries of white dominance.
Trump and Netanyahu are not merely products of their time. They are engineers of an old imperial posture: unapologetically racial, economically extractive, and brutally militarized. Their diplomacy is shaped by the conviction that some peoples deserve sovereignty, while others must be disciplined or destroyed. In this worldview, Arabs are expendable and Muslim resistance is intolerable.
Iran: Capitulation or Consequences
American demands in the May 2025 Iran nuclear talks were deliberately maximalist. Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff insisted that Iran dismantle all enrichment facilities, including Natanz and Fordow, and export enriched material. This goes far beyond the 2015 JCPOA. Trump himself put it bluntly:
“We can blow ’em up nicely or blow ’em up viciously.”
Such rhetoric signals that the purpose of talks is to provoke failure. The goal is not non-proliferation, but the political castration of a defiant Muslim state. Iran must be made an example.
The current U.S. proposal allows no room for mutual guarantees, no sanctions relief, and no recognition of Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology-terms that even European allies have deemed unrealistic. As one European diplomat anonymously told Reuters:
“Washington is negotiating a surrender, not a deal.”
Even as Iran attends multilateral talks, the U.S. has expanded sanctions, pressured third parties to cease trade, and deployed additional naval assets to the Persian Gulf. These actions suggest preparation for confrontation, not reconciliation.
Russia: A Pre-Engineered Impasse
Negotiations with Russia follow the same formula. Vice President JD Vance made clear that unless Moscow accepts defeat, the U.S. will walk away:
“They’re asking for land they haven’t even won. That’s not how this works.”
No discussion of NATO expansion. No recognition of Russian security concerns. Just a demand for retreat and humiliation. This isn’t peace-it’s managed confrontation, waged with sanctions and proxy wars.
The Riyadh talks in early 2025 were reportedly dominated by ultimatums. Russia was told it must withdraw fully from eastern Ukraine, accept war crimes investigations, and disarm long-range missile batteries in Crimea. There was no mention of lifting U.S. sanctions.
Simultaneously, NATO has increased military drills in Eastern Europe, with the U.S. deploying more F-35 squadrons to Poland and Romania. Washington has also intensified arms shipments to Ukraine, including long-range ATACMS systems-directly undermining the credibility of peace negotiations.
A senior RAND analyst put it clearly:
“We are not negotiating with Russia. We are designing the terms of their defeat.”
The Ideological Foundation of Domination
This aggressive diplomacy is not an aberration. It is a consistent application of Western political theory. Locke’s theory of property, particularly in Second Treatise of Government* (1690), Chapter 5, asserts: “Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided… he hath mixed his labour with it, and joined to it something that is his own”-a principle used to justify colonial land seizure from peoples who did not cultivate land in a European manner. Smith, in The Wealth of Nations (1776), Book V, Chapter 1, described non-Western societies as “savage nations of hunters and fishers, who are perhaps the lowest and most helpless of all societies,” implying that such societies were suitable targets for conquest and restructuring.
The modern liberal order was built not for global equality, but for white capitalist ascendancy. Trump and Netanyahu, in their raw and unapologetic form, simply strip away the diplomatic pretense.
A Grim Decade: The Price of Hegemony in Arab Blood
The results have been devastating:
Gaza (2023-2025): Over 35,000 dead. Civilian infrastructure destroyed. Israeli attacks, armed by U.S. weapons, reduced neighborhoods to rubble.
Yemen (2015-2023):375,000 deaths, largely from hunger and disease induced by Saudi-led, U.S.-enabled siege warfare.
Syria: 300,000+ civilians dead in a war prolonged by U.S. bombings and occupation of oil fields.
Iraq: 1 million dead since 2003. The U.S. remains embedded in a fractured, occupied state.
Libya: Post-2011 collapse into chaos. Militias and open-air slave markets flourish as Western oil contracts endure.
