China compromised. It eschewed de-dollarization to continue a dollar based export economy under the more liberal faction (Li Qiang...)
Russia compromised. It seems the same happens with liberal faction overtaking the war economy faction
And to be caught pants down with that Ukrainians drone attack
Iran compromised. The Sunni coalition and Amrikkka surround it and its allies like eagles while Israel bombs it with little reprecussion, with Baathists and nearly Hezbollah neutralized.
That isn't to say their war is lost but that there's no salvation from them outside, anytime soon 
All the while, creeps back in this petty pace of life, fascism in the full flesh, in the west.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Edit: I could be wrong but I don't wanna be disappointed at this point
I'm guessing I'm a bit of an outsider to this community and although I usually keep up with the news I don't dig super deep in any particular direction.
But my take is that any of the regimes mentioned here would jump at the opportunity to be imperialist and already do. I think it's the fundamental rule of the game that they all play.
The attitude of "If we don't do it to them, they'll do it to us" is how most atrocities in history were justified.
