I agree.
The only way America could retrieve the situation now is to have the courage to admit it blundered, and withdraw from this war before its spreads further.
Whether Israel would follow suit is another matter. Really, this is Israel's war, from a long, simmering bitterness between Israel and Iran; each wanting the other to collapse (into anarchy...?).
The USA leapt in without consulting anyone else, to back its Middle Eastern ally. With "enthusiasm" too, to use the word of a President surprised and hurt to find little or no support from a NATO whose own premise is defence, not belligerance, not unilateral attacks on other countries.
Iran has long been prepared for attacks by Israel and/or the USA, and possibly the allies of those.
China's system, like that of Iran, is designed for very long-term stability by rigid technocratic and ideological process; with China also having the strength, ability and patience to work around situations like wars elsewhere in the world.
Russia's government is an autocracy, the leader apparently not really concerned about succession. However, Putin might even now see the USA as an unlikely, uneasy and unpredictable ally by lifting some sanctions, and by not helping Ukraine although profiting from selling weapons to Ukraine and her European allies.

I concur.. However, it seems to me that Europe has already made its choice. The only thing that could change that is a complete collapse of the Republican administration and the new day dawning on a truly Democratic administration that is prepared to grovel for forgiveness to the world and make radical 180 degree turns on so many policies that the world collectively applauds.. No.. I dont see that happening either..😷
