@TXJennyAgain@catholicpat Im not sure which catholicism version you were brought on but i am.pretty sure the new testament is pretty clear that violence is not acceptable ( turn the pther cheek and so on).
@edodreaming@amitisinvesting If that happens Iran will also attack other Gulf infrastructure. Oil goes to 150 at least and markets tank hard. The only intelligent face solving solution is to walk away, claim victory to your base and return to life as usual, but it wasnt intelligence that brought us here...
@rbrtcoloradosci@SonicAir1375@johnarnold If US did not risk their navy against iran you think they will risk it against China? The drone era is here. Its like battleships in ww2 which were replaced by much cheaper technologies (carriers). Now it is their turn to be replaced.
@SonicAir1375@rbrtcoloradosci@johnarnold Xi does not have to worry about midterms. Global crisis and then Trump makes some kind in surface advantageous trade deal to the US in exchange for China annexing Taiwan. It could be the chance they were expecting. The world will see this as fair given the behaviour by US.
@SonicAir1375@johnarnold It is not about saving Iran. China realistic alternatives to Gulf are:
1 - Venezuela ( Locked in by Trump)
2 - Russia (Loosing a large fraction of export capacity due to Ukraine strikes)
3- US itself
Do you think they will happily accept to become fully dependent on US for oil?
