Is US kind of like pre partition Poland where nobility had so much rights and feds so little it would derail any positive developments

I cannot imagine any realistic plan to replace wto with another system just excluding china.
That would have had to be monstrous coherent and sustained effort on the scale of what Russia and china are doing with bricks.
I have not seen that with either Obama or others.

Then such a replacement organization would offer what exactly benefits the rest of the world? Seems like not much so forcing other countries to join it would have been somewhat dubious.

US capitalists created modern china.
Literally raised it.

And now china is beating US in it's own game while having a better social system: mandatory vacations, pensions and health care.

There is absolutely nothing anyone can do - other countries will keep buying inexpensive shit from china because there are no alternatives. Tariffs no tariffs whatever.

And it seems to me - US people are being pushed into the corner to start demanding a larger share of the pie and a better social net as a typical US global economic advantages are disappearing leaving more people in poverty while offering no social net improvemeents that the rest of the world population has gotten last century.

My point is - they will not allow that to happen.
In order for something like this to take place you would need a full blown communist revolution

Dmitriev gave a statement following his meetings in the US. Let me remind you that this was actually the first visit of this level since the beginning of the war, and sanctions were temporarily lifted for it.

As a result:

The timing of a new round of negotiations between the US and Russia will be determined in the near future;

The resumption of direct air travel is under discussion;

US businesses are ready to take the place of companies that left from the EU [they know how to appeal to Trump];

Overall, the US is taking a constructive stance and behaving respectfully.

Judging by the statements, the talks were successful, but in practice — the truth is in the outcome. We'll see whether there are any developments soon regarding the implementation of Russia's conditions for a "maritime truce" or, on the contrary, whether Russia will make concessions and agree to it without sanctions being lifted.

Also, a reminder that in a few days, a Ukrainian delegation is set to hold negotiations in the US regarding a resource deal that Trump has already openly referred to as part of a peace agreement.

All in all, it looks like another round of diplomacy may take place next week. A maritime truce and a signed deal by Ukraine could be on the horizon. If that happens — or even if specific dates are set — the chances of a full ceasefire by the end of the month will significantly increase.
