China buying Iranian oil as retaliation for trade deal failures--
Posted on 5/17/19 at 3:19 pm

The top secret "threat" that caused Bolton to send two carriers into the Persian Gulf may very well have been nothing more than a tightening of a blockade of Iranian ports to thwart China' purchases of oil.
Here is a report on the Chinese purchases. LINK
Now do you think Bolton is advocating war with Iran AND China???? Has he called Sheldon Adelson to see how to respond yet??
I want our troops out of the ME altogether to prevent such uncomfortable spots.
Here is a report on the Chinese purchases. LINK
quote:
China-Iran trade slowed dramatically after the reimposition of U.S. secondary sanctions in November, suggesting the Chinese government had chosen to subordinate its economic relations with Iran to the much more important issue of its ongoing trade negotiations with the United States. But these negotiations have since broken down. This week, President Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on a further $300 billion in Chinese imports in addition to punitive measures against Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, which has been targeted in part for its alleged violations of Iran sanctions.
These announcements stoked anger in China, which has vowed to fight back. Last week, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters that China “resolutely opposes” unilateral sanctions on Iran. But until now, there had been little evidence that the Chinese government was encouraging its companies to ignore or evade U.S. sanctions in the interest of maintaining trade with Iran. While Chinese multinationals will likely remain wary of trading with Iran due to the risks posed to their increasingly global businesses, China’s apparent decision to use state-enterprises to purchase at least some Iranian oil represents a direct and significant challenge to U.S. sanctions. Earlier this week, Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro singled out China’s sanctionable activities in Iran’s metals industry in a Financial Times op-ed. With this kind of messaging, the Trump administration has made it impossible for China to keep the trade war separate from its disagreements with the United States over Iran sanctions.
Now do you think Bolton is advocating war with Iran AND China???? Has he called Sheldon Adelson to see how to respond yet??

Well this is stupid. You obviously know nothing about our national intetests/defense. This area is key to any wide spread war.

we can't up and leave the god damn Middle East and abandon our presence in the region, because as soon as you do, Russia and China will fill the vacuum in a fricking heart beat. Do you have any clue how much of the world's trade runs through that area? Every time I hear a fricking idiotic argument like yours, I feel compelled to remind you just what in the hell you are advocating for.

Simply pointing out the events of the day.
Do you know what threat they will invent to justify the increased military presence in the Persian Gulf?

IB doesn't realize that oil is fungible.

I don’t think I have ever seen you make a positive thread in regards to Trump.
No real point to this post of mine. Just an observation.

I just started a thread complimenting him on reversing his American punishing tariffs on Canadian steel.
Do you not count that since you are disappointed the tariffs are gone or something??

Let me get this straight--if the US is not involved in the ME militarily oil from the ME will not come to market??? This is your position???
You understand we did not have troops on the ground there until GHWB? (Reagan had troops in Lebanon but that was a different issue.)
How did all that oil get to market without us then??? :rotflmao:

damn, what a misleading title you got there.
For Iran, China’s decision to continue to purchase at least some Iranian oil could prove a vital lifeline as it struggles to withstand the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” sanctions campaign.
d9id you really think that someone wasn't going to read your link? Dumbass.

Yes that one.
Aren't you glad he reversed himself and no longer punishes Americans using Canadian steel???

I'm sure you're happy for both Iran and China.
Posted on 5/17/19 at 3:55 pm to I B Freeman
And no fricks were given..
They’re acting out, like the petulant children they are. The mighty Chinese bend the knee and crawl to the shithole country of Iran for help... lol

I have no issue with tariffs and it seems that Canada is a negligible producer of steel on the global market.
