I don't think the germans sue for peace without the US involved. The Russian army had been destroyed. They could devote nearly all their resources to the Western front. They probably can't win, but they also can't lose, so you either get years of stalemate or both sides grudgingly agree to peace.

Agreed. One could envision an iron curtain falling across Europe decades earlier, dividing Europe along the Western Front. I'm not sure it would have been a better outcome; I'm not sure it's possible for the Great War to have had a good outcome. But it certainly would have been different without US involvement.
