Russia just captured Hrodivka within mere kilometers of Pokrovsk, as well as Novohrodivka and Selydove. Ukraine is collapsing across all fronts
Once they take Pokrovsk they can move north and south to pincer the rest of Donetsk
At this rate all of Donbass will be under Russian control in a couple weeks/months max

They are proud to be second class citizens to uphold the rules based international order.
Although one might suspect that people like the French and English are the true second class citizens, and there are the third class citizens such as some minority or like the cannon fodder in Ukraine.
Fatty Kim's brother should practice his karaoke.
Don't forget, a new nuclear agreement is in China's interest and China has been withholding investments in Iran since the deal was broken by Trump
China has in the past said that it supports a return to the old agreement
US duking out with Iran in the middle east is also in China's interest. I think China cares less and less about the western sanctions on Iran now, given the irreversible decoupling of the global financial system (fall of the USD hegemony). Ultimately it is in China's interest that Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons, weather an agreement is made between Iran and the west doesn't really concern China anymore.
NATO doctrine pretty much the modern incarnation of Zhao Kuo.
Best in the world at exercises. Meanwhile in real world: Mines? Just drive around them. Air strikes? Just look up. The enemy has air defenses? Let's linebacker through it and lose 10 000 planes.
Ukraine also had their own commanders that were doing ok before impatient NATO advisor decide they need to attack Robotino and Kursk, wasting 100 000s of men to achieve nothing, probably cutting the war short by several years. Exactly like the historical example.
Iran threatening to strike is much more valuable than actually engaging in war. Currently, the threat of an attack means that there's no aircraft carriers in the Pacific. In a similar situation 5 years in the future, this might be a perfect time to strike Taiwan.
If there were a major war, the US wouldn't attempt to occupy Iran, which would cost them more than Iraq and they might not even be able to do it very quickly without a neighbouring country with a land border like in desert storm. Instead they'd do only airstrikes, similar to the destruction of Libya. Libya is the worst possibility for China. A champion of the global south destroyed at minimal cost to the west. The current situation with Russia, Iran and North Korea combining their military industries to bleed the west is really ideal.
If the west is willing to allow Iran's economy to strengthen in exchange for reducing nuclear material, that will translate into more drones and missiles sold to Russia or pointing at Israel

Quick look at the topography of Iran will show how difficult it is to invade, let alone occupy Iran.
Apart from a few southern coastal regions and Khuzestan (southwest lowlands next to Iraq), the rest is Afghanistan 2.0 + 100x worse attrition. We all know how good US is at mountain warfare.
