Russia told Iran they would back them. So Russia, China and backdoor EU with Biden blowing up Russias pipeline....unravels a 50 year mess.

Past presidents wete afraid of Russia China and the UK EUs back door conniving.

It took brass balls for Trump.

This is also about pressuring China to play nice with rare earth minerals.

You want oil?

Pay with greenbacks and trade in rare earth minerals.

It's a solid strategy.

This requires the assumption that Iran’s new leadership will have a different trade approach with China.

No coincidence that this was done ahead of Trump’s visit to China in a few weeks.

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see on that one but, given Trump's Venezuelan history, we must assume Iran's new leadership will be presented with a certain reality that will encourage a beneficial outcome for both the Iranian people and the U.S.' strategic interests.
