re: President Trump in China: One of the most consequential gathering of humans in History

Look at things objectively, and it's actually pretty fricking awesome.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s going to be really awesome when Trump gets duped into allowing another 600,000 Chinese students to come and study in the U.S.

Nine kings said, “hold my Moët”.

You don't think the straight being shut down is affecting European politics??

The Eastern axis of Iran, Russia, and China is definitely hurt just as much.

Trump isn't bypassing Europe so much as the Europeans told him to pound sand when he wanted their help in the strait.

Trump is so fricking easy to dupe it’s hilarious. Putin played him like a fiddle, MBS duped him into defending him after the assassination of the Saudi journalist, Netanyahu duped him into instigating a war we can’t get out of, and Xi duped him into allowing 600,000 Chinese students (a lot of whom are probably CCP spies) to come study in the U.S.

The guy just can’t put his businessman tendencies to the side when doing foreign relations

President Trump is actively dismantling the post-WWII globalist architecture by forging powerful, sovereign partnerships with Russia and China, intentionally bypassing the traditional "Empire" networks of Europe.

Yes, Britain (and to a lesser extent Russia/Soviet Union) exerted significant influence and control over parts of Iran and its oil industry for much of the early-to-mid 20th century, particularly through the company that became BP.

Key Historical Context

Britain and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC/AIOC, later BP): Oil was discovered in Persia (Iran) in 1908 by British-backed interests under the D'Arcy concession. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company was founded in 1909. In 1914, the British government bought a controlling 51% stake (effectively nationalizing it for strategic reasons, especially to fuel the Royal Navy), giving Britain direct control over Iran's major southern oil fields and the massive Abadan refinery.

en.wikipedia.org

This gave Britain dominant economic and political leverage in Iran for decades. Iran received relatively little revenue compared to the profits flowing to Britain. The company was renamed Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in 1935 and British Petroleum (BP) in 1954.

Russia/Soviet Union’s RoleRussia (later the USSR) had long competed with Britain for influence in Iran (the "Great Game"). They focused more on northern Iran.
In 1907, Britain and Russia signed an agreement dividing Iran into spheres of influence (Russia in the north, Britain in the south).
During World War II (1941), Britain and the Soviet Union jointly invaded neutral Iran (Anglo-Soviet invasion) to secure oil supplies, supply routes to the USSR (Persian Corridor), and counter German influence. They occupied the country, forced the abdication of Reza Shah, and partitioned control (Soviets north, British south, including oil areas) until 1946.

en.wikipedia.org

Britain was the primary controller of the oil industry itself via APOC/AIOC. Russia/Soviets had broader geopolitical influence but did not directly run the southern oil operations.

en.wikipedia.org

Later DevelopmentsIn 1951, Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh nationalized the oil industry, expelling the British company. This led to a British-led boycott and the 1953 coup (backed by Britain and the US), which ousted Mossadegh and restored the Shah.
A 1954 consortium agreement followed: BP (formerly AIOC) got 40% of Iranian oil, with other shares to US companies, Shell, and others. Iran got a better profit split but foreign companies retained operational control for years.

In short, Britain directly controlled Iran's primary oil resources through what became BP for decades, with Russia/Soviets as a key geopolitical partner/rival that jointly occupied the country at times. This foreign dominance fueled Iranian nationalism and resentment that shaped later events, including the 1979 Revolution. Iran eventually gained full control of its oil after nationalization efforts and the revolution.
