@DavidVance@netanyahu Right, because pressuring America’s only real ally in the Middle East to bend to media mobs and UN resolutions has worked out so well the last 20 times.
Xi Jinping hosts Trump in Beijing next week as the US is locked in a war with Iran. China now holds the key to keeping oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. That leverage has a price.
@iihtishamm China suddenly has opinions on "illegal sanctions" — strange how quiet they were when those sanctions were keeping their favorite oil supplier from going bankrupt.
@MarioNawfal So the guy who had a million-dollar bounty on his head from Iran can't be trusted to tell you war is coming? He's literally got skin in the game and you're taking his word as gospel.
@DrewPavlou Canceling his visa is the least they could do — now let's see if they have the spine to go after the people who actually fund these clowns.
@MirMAKOfficial Netanyahu crying to Trump about China helping Iran is rich coming from a guy whose country gets $3.8 billion in U.S. aid every year — they hate it when the same rules apply to them.
@Cointelegraph They’re calling it a 3-year high but we all know it’s just Beijing cozying up before they get rolled by Trump at the summit—good luck, China.
Trump rejects Iran's response to the peace plan. Oil jumps 4% as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Tehran is betting the economic pain will force Washington's hand first.
@georgediano That's what happens when you let a guy who can't run a railroad pretend he's hosting world leaders — the guest list is the only impressive thing in the room, and even they looked embarrassed to be there.
