re: China warns US of retaliation if it’s affected by Iran sanctions: ‘All necessary measures’

I understand far more than you ever will.

3 days ago, I pointed you to a fact that could help you understand the real impetus behind the conflict in Iran. You laughed it off. Then a couple of days later you read an article in The Post and came here yapping about the exact same thing, starting a thread like a giddy freshman who just read Kant.

Please leave it at that.

I am sure you would prefer if I did. Don't be so unoriginal that you have to be led by journalists. I posted about the China/Taiwan angle concerning these movements by the administration months ago. You don't have to be some great thinker (lucky for you) to see the moves on the geopolitical chessboard, but you do have to spend some time learning to play "chess". If you do you won't have to wait until some reporter tells you what to think.

Believe me, I knew long ago what the impact Venezuela, Panama Canal, Cuba, and Greenland would have on so many. I knew the next excursion would be Iran and the Indonesian agreement signed in March was outstandingly strategic.

Buddy we don’t want that war.

We can talk tough man but we are all tangled up right now.

We do not want a 2 fronted war

Unless it goes nuclear, China has no means to fight an effective war against us. They cannot even come close to bringing the neccessary force anywhere close to us or our territories. China simply does not have the logistical capabilities to fight abroad like tUSA can.

Oh nooooooooooooooooo.

I guess your smug arse forgot that we're pulling an entire Pacific carrier group out of the Pacific to go deal with this quagmire in the Middle East, huh?

It’s feeling like I am watching a play through of Hearts of Iron IV: Millennium Dawn

I don’t think I want war with China after we’ve seen how Iran has gone.

In a sadist sorta way, I'm kind of hoping this pisses off China and they act on their threats.

We've needed to decouple from China for far too long. We depend on them to survive and it's disgusting.

Textiles, big pharma production

I agree. I don't believe we'll ever see this happen. Neither China nor our spineless cowards in Congress would never allow this. We the people continue to elect weak, greedy, pieces of shite into Congress who are told what to support by their their donors.... Big Pharma, MIC, Multinational corporations, on and on and on.

Those we elect to represent us are liars and fraudsters only looking to enrich themselves. There are some good ones, but far too many to make a difference.

On the macro level, those described above are still better than the Marxist Dems.

if we told them we are cutting everything off, they would commit mass suicide.

we nearly bankrupted them a few years ago with stopping trADE and they bought their debt off again. it will come back to get them.


but we have a orange poodle for president, all bark, zero bite.

You are smoking crack if you think we had no assistance at Normandy and the way the Japanese fought we weren’t taking the mainland without a Nuke.

Thems are the facts so.
