I am always curious to how Iran will perform in a conventional warfare against the US.
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and Global South strategic cooperation
- Thread starter Strangelove
- Start date
When lightning strikes 5 times in the same spot guess it's just lucky timing. But that is what people should want Americans to think.
China isn't literally saying "go do this, it's an order" but they can influence countries that have reasons to do stuff, and enable it.
And China has NK doing precisely it's job.
by your logic, did China direct Al Qaeda on 911 as well?
China was helping America back then. Key enabler for Iraq and Afghanistan invasion as well as recovering US in 2008. Back then the government was intent on "peaceful coexistence" with US.
Syria is a trap for Americans. Russia, Iran, China have set it up for Americans. Its US' choice to either walk into it or leave
From China's perspective, whatever choice the US makes, it will be a win.
The Saudi - Iran deal has minimised Iran's strategic and military pressure which allows it to refocus to its real target.
I am also that China is also more than happy rhat Iran is now switching its target to US instead of KSA.
The only danger is if Biden decides to flip the tables, but that would overstretch the American Empire, so I doubt Biden would go for that
They aren't in a position to invade Iran while Russia is engaged in Ukraine. If the imperialists fully engage in Iran, Russia would surge in Ukraine.
its the opposite. there was 10+ years of strategic patience. entire 5th fleet is in the Per.si.an Gulf which is bristling with SAMs, subs and antiship missiles. It can be blocked with some barrel mines dumped into the water at the Stra.its of Hor.mu.z.
The Saudis will continue to see this as lack of American involvement in the region, which will prompt them to further defy America and get closer to China.
you are making a big assumption thinking that iran has full control of its militias. it could very well be some elements being unhappy about the iran-saudi detente, or false flag operation by israel...who knows. I really doubt iran wants to do this, last time they did suleimani got assassinated.
