I think it's not more than Iran hedging against China deal. India was the main buyer of Iranian oil before USA stopped it.
the point was that Iranian ambassador reside in India does not understand India. he thinks India is resisting sanction on Russia so India should do the same for Iran. completely ignoring the Arab factor that make this happen.

Bullshit, it is completely their fault. Spoiled brat style diplomacy can only carry you so far before everyone wants a piece of the spanking action.
To be fair, state dept staff can't do much when their bosses demand that they can't compromise. Just look at the near-constant drills with South Korea LMAO. They achieve absolutely nothing other than giving Kim the spotlight which he uses for launching more missiles in a spectacularly public way. You'd think they would freeze the tensions since they are out of options (nothing to sanction, no chance at removing Kims without at least SK and Japan getting nuked) but no. They doubled down on shows of power.

I lost count of how many times they flew B-1 bombers as an answer to North Korean missile tests. The fleet is already a walking corpse with below 10% average readiness and ban from low-level flight. They are literally destroying it to answer North Korean missile tests. Then NK fires more missiles to benefit from the spotlight and then they fly even more bombers. I am not sure if this is an intimidation attempt, domestic politics show or virtue signaling but it is f*cking idiotic.

Same with FONOP given the state of naval ships.

Why do the Israeli security authorities need to enter the mosque during Muslims holy month of Ramadan? They're literally causing a lot of indignity to the Palestinians which cause anger and scorn to a lot of people around the world.

It's call creating a common enemy to distract from problem at home and provide an unifying force.
A bit like India really.

Mexico asks China’s Xi for help to control fentanyl shipments, complains about US​

  • In a letter to his Chinese counterpart, President Lopez Obrador says American lawmakers are interfering in his country’s affairs
  • US politicians blame Mexico for not stopping the trafficking of the lethal drug across the border, but the ingredients for fentanyl are chiefly sent from Asia

In his letter, Lopez Obrador complained to Xi about interference in Mexico’s affairs by US lawmakers.

“We come to you, President Xi Jinping, not to ask for your support in the face of these rude threats, but to request that for humanitarian reasons, you help us control shipments of fentanyl that can be sent from China to our country,” he wrote.

Lopez Obrador then asked Xi if he could provide Mexico with information on when, where, and how much fentanyl was being sent across the Pacific, and by whom.

Maybe Xi can send something to help AMLO stop Americans from interfering in Mexico's affairs ;)

General Yi Long Ma continues to fight the good fight. I have tears in my eyes from his loyalty. Now we just need BBC to have UK-state affiliated media tag, but I am afraid Yi Long may be executed if he does so

BBC definitely counts though. Ministry of Truth in 1984 was based on BBC and Brits have to pay for it even if they don’t watch it if they have a TV.

Only thing BBC affiliated I still watch are the Attenborough documentaries. Nothing beats those.
