"News" like this getting attention really lowers my opinion of humankind.

I see it as the elites of the West, who are evidently Jewish Zionists given their excessive favouritism towards Israel, have such a grudge against German culture and society and people as a whole because of the Holocaust that they are actively trying to destroy the German people, which itself is a tall order considering how much of Europe is German.
Germany as a slave nation to Israel is nothing, it appears Zionist powerbrokers wish to destroy the idea of a homogenous Christian Europe which had historically enacted pogroms against the Jews, which is bizarre today considering how much the Zionist jews resemble the white supremacists of the 19th c.
and yet the Anglo whites supremacists will demand the oriental slave soldiers to continue to enter the osprey death trap to fight the other great oriental.
isnt it remarkable that around the same time the USG and its master in Israel are flagrantly violating human rights and enacting genocide, that the U.S. has decided its rules based order involves ordering US companies to break international law and practices just so America can stay ahead?
when the west talks about derisking from China, their end goal is another set of Unequal Treaties.

Probably due to covid measures, China did not participate in these tests. It shows that the slow opening from covid is not good for the economy and even education.
I find that people like Macgregor, Mearsheimer, the Duran, etc. fundamentally misunderstand US interests and motivations regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
They argue that the US should have courted Russia instead of instigating a conflict in Ukraine so that they can all focus on China. This is a silly idea. Firstly, because Russia would've never agreed to become a US vassal state to be used against China. Secondly, by instigating a conflict in Ukraine, US has pretty much subsumed the entirety of EU under their "security" architecture, where they are able to point out that Russia and China represent the same "authoritarian" evil axis and EU should therefore ban high-tech products to China, put tariffs on Chinese EV/solar/wind products, ban Chinese telecom, ban Chinese investments, etc. You can clearly see that this view is gaining traction in the EU. So I would argue that the US calculated that it was well worth it to destroy its own relations with Russia and spend a fraction of its military budget to keep Russia bogged in Ukraine in exchange for subsuming EU and leveraging this new strengthened US-EU security relationship to cut China (+Russia) out of the lucrative EU market. It's an excellent deal if you ask me. We will see whether they are successful.
Iran has shown to be quiet resilient in development despite the sanctions and "pariah" label. That is Iran with it's oil and gas valve mostly shut off, despite having among the largest reserves in the world. Now imagine Iran with the carbon flowing freely. I can see how Russia would be against this.
Iran also has major regional influence, a sophisticated international network of scientists, engineers and professionals working at top institutions around the world.

LOL Russia almost joined NATO. If the US wasn't being such an arrogant dumbass to Russia and a bungling idiot in its assessments, it could have a healthy EU aligned with it and Russia on the sidelines against China. And a Russia on the sidelines is basically going to be a Russia that takes advantage of China whenever China needs something from it. Now it has an EU that's so economically ill, it's fighting for its own health, able to afford nothing but lip service to America's calls for aid against China, and a Russia that's actively transforming itself from a lazy drunk back into the "combat race" moniker it once earned, with vast integration economically and politically towards China. Great job, any smoother and American politicians would be up to this guy's level:
Russia has alot of contracts and opportunities in the world to develop oil/ gas and it is much cheaper to develop in third world due to lower labor costs. Russia use this as opportunity to build relations with Global South. thats why this OPEC+ created. so some of decision blamed on it not on Saudi.
Largest Iranian diaspora is in US and second largest will be in UAE.
So basically 8 times as many Trump supporters who tried to overthrow the US government back in Jan 2020.
Lip service? Kicking out Huawei, putting tariffs on Chinese EVs/solar/wind producers, putting outbound / inbound Chinese investment curbs, denying ASML litho machines to China, lobbying other countries against BRI and creating alternatives (Global gateway) is EU's "lip-service" to America? I don't think so.
Yes EU economy is not doing well but let's not forget that the EU is $20T market vs Russia which is $2T market. The US correctly calculated that they would rather have a rabid belligerent anti-China EU + friendly-China Russia rather than a slightly anti-China EU + neutral Russia.
