@JChengWSJ @Lingling_Wei And why than is Trump flying all the way to China vice Xi flying over to the US?
English
China Hoped Trump Summit Would Cement Its Superpower Status. Now Xi Has to Wait. The president’s postponement of planned meeting signals that the U.S.—not Beijing—still sets the global agenda

@TheDuranReal He does know the Japanese lost the war, even after conducting the Pearl Harbour strike?
English
Trump compares Iran strike to Pearl Harbor. Japanese PM sitting there like she accidentally walked into a bad history class.
Diplomacy has officially left the building.

@MaxBlumenthal Considering Iran sells about 80% of its energy to China. I.E. they have already created the personal connections, trust and experience in selling oil to China are suddenly going to find other markets in a short period of time?
English
The sanctions on Iran are so effective that we must lift the sanctions to harm Iran
Then we will steal the unsanctioned oil from China
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47
.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

Wall Street Journal is completely delusional
China’s undeniable position as a Superpower is not determined by a random meeting with the White House
Corporate media is filled with deeply unserious people
English
@RWApodcast And who is Iran going to trust to sell their oil to, likely China?

>In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water
Just Bomb Everyone Theory vindicated

@ripplebrain It does add another border area to defend against, a large land army, and a staging area to push ground forces from.

Iran is already fighting two nuclear powers, not sure a third will make a difference

@EmmanuelMacron And Mr. President are you going to condemn the party (the State of Israel) that started this escalation?
English
I have just spoken with the Emir of Qatar and President Trump following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today.
It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.

🚨 Breaking: Saudi Foreign Minister issues a strong warning:
“Iran planned in advance what we are witnessing today. This behavior is not a coincidence but an extension of a historical record based on coercion, sponsoring militias, and supporting its proxies to target neighboring countries.”

Brilliant: "We're gonna close the Strait so Iran can't close the Strait."
John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad
Only if the United States lets them. The US Navy can close the strait at anytime to anyone paying the enemy.

@21stcentury_ML And risking your public and energy infrastructure.

Lmao the same Saudi military that was less than useless against the Houthis. All you’ll be doing is giving some extra target practice for Iranian missiles and drones if you get involved
Al Jazeera Breaking News@AJENews
Saudi Arabia's FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud said Iran’s missile attack on Riyadh while regional diplomats gathered there was ‘the clearest signal of how Iran feels about diplomacy,’ adding that Saudi has ‘reserved the right to take military action.

@squatsons 'Weeks long', a good laugh. To the US public, you are being sold a bill of goods.
English
Because half assing your way into a war always works out well in the end.
My god it’s like watching the Vietnam war and all of its mistakes.

She’s such an embarrassment. This is who’s running things in the EU.

🚨 Breaking: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan:
Iran claims to champion Islam but is attacking Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Lebanon.
He added that Iran hides behind slogans and uses its tools solely to serve its own interests.

@CDMorlock How many different countries and other parties have been alleged to have stolen the 2020 election? I can't keep this straight anymore.
English
It's so funny to me that all American politics, all denominations, all roads, all culture, all art, everything, is converging on war with China. You literally cannot find someone expressing anything but this final outcome. But they all act like its their own special insight.
Bannon’s WarRoom@Bannons_WarRoom
STEVE BANNON: The main thing is the Chinese Communist Party. John Solomon's reporting is that the Chinese Communist Party was actively involved in the stealing of the 2020 election and got into all the voter files, social security numbers, locations, all of it in April of 2020. -- The central enemy of the United States of America and the people of the United States of America is the Chinese Communist Party.

@BRICSinfo It is trying to create a deterrence in the US and Israeli strikes by putting at risk significant assets that support the Western economies.
As recently happened an escalation made by Israel forces Iran to escalate to maintain this deterrence.

@calvinfroedge By throwing money at the problem like they always do. Purchase mercenaries and typically other Muslim countries like Pakistan provide forces too.
English
I'm just really interested to know where a place like the UAE is going to pull troops from. You've basically got an 80% expat country where the locals are used to being paid for being Emirati.
Who is going boots on the ground?
