You're looking at the wrong numbers. Venezuela and Iran send about 70-80% of their oil to china.


Per chatgpt

China imports 10-12% of their oil from Iran

China imports 4% of their oil from Venezuela


10-12% of China's oil imports .... could very well be 70-80% of Iran's reported oil production

China imports more from the US than the US imports from Venezuela.

Are you celebrating the deaths or just a fun non sequitur?

Why would I celebrate military or law enforcement deaths?

That school bomb hit was determined to be a failed Iranian missile launch. Our guidance systems are far too sophisticated to inadvertently strike civilian targets. Tightly coupled mil spec GPS/INS and some equipped with terrain mapping data base guidance.


Determined by who? Wouldn’t be the first time Israel bombed a school.

I’m old enough to remember them blowing up a Catholic Church last year and then claiming misfire up until there was so much evidence they had to admit they did it on purpose and apologize.

I don't think you would. Just thought it was a strange thing to equate their statement to.

The President or his proxies haven't explained the end game, except to urge Iranian citizens to take control of their government. Unarmed citizens elated at events will be up against the IRGC and others who recently killed tens of thousands of protesters.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, essentially all regime change justified at the time, didn't turn out as predicted.

The administration has not made the case on how this regime change military operation ends favorably to our and our allies long term interest.


S Korea is undeniably a raging success.

Vietnam was our own fault, especially the American left and its media mouthpieces. They were holding off the North just fine on their own after we pulled out until a Democratic Congress ended the support in ammunition and fuel we had promised.

Afghanistan is where great powers go to be frustrated. Britain, India, the USSR, and we all failed there.

Iraq's story is still being written, but they did succeed largely on their own in kicking out ISIS.

Iran has historically been a cut above most of the rest of the ME in terms of level of civilization, going back millennia, until it became an Islamic "Republic". Did you know that only around 30% of the country is Muslim? Probably not. It's past time for them to return to their place as a near-1st World state, and possibly more.

I do not want us to engage in full blown nation building - we no longer have the stomach for it - haven't since Korea - but if we can get rid of the worst there and give the best a chance, while improving our strategic position in the world, then this is a good thing.

Can you share a link to them admitting they did it on purpose?

As stated earlier, China obscures the data on oil imports, with substantially more coming from Venezuela and Iran than public sources indicate.

this again? I know you're dumb as a box of rocks but just because I have a Marine symbol as my "favorite team" doesn't equal stolen valor.

I would have to claim to have been a Marine.

We know how much Venezuela is capable of extracting and know where it was all going.

Iran is a bit different story but all exports leave through one area that is easy to monitor.
