"There's one thing that's worse than being uneducated and it's being badly educated. And Mr. Carney is very badly educated on economics." -- Pierre Poilievre says, as water dribbles down his chin

"Zero Enrichment" is a deal-breaker, a non-starter and unserious. No country would EVER agree to that, and frankly, we shouldn't have the right to tell people. Nobody wants to say it, but it's true. If that's the stand US wants to take, then we'll be fighting until we're spent.

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.

The US blockade of Iran involves China's interests, as China is Iran's largest oil export destination. I believe the US intends to use this opportunity to pressure China to help urge Iran to reach an agreement, although this action is not specifically targeted at China. My personal guess is that China has been communicating with all parties, either through Pakistan or directly, to promote peace talks. The arrival of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Khalid in China on Sunday likely focused primarily on the Middle East war. Currently, all parties are willing for China to exert more influence. I also believe the US currently lacks the leverage to provoke China in the Persian Gulf. The US media's collusion with the Pentagon to spread rumors that China is providing weapons to Iran is actually a preemptive measure to prevent China from doing so. China certainly will not provide weapons to either side in a conflict, but its influence is ubiquitous. If the US tries to use this severely stalled war to harm China's interests, I believe China has many cards in the hand to make the US suffer losses.
