No. Not even close.



Give it a chance. Once the Chinese and other actors stop laughing at the US and collect themselves they might decide that Trump has made the US weak enough to make moves.


Huh. That’s a new (and silly) one.

China is most assuredly not laughing about this. Don’t believe me? Try the WaPo: https://wapo.st/4usIC9I



They are laughing at watching their only competition in the world commit economics kand strategic suicide in real time.


Economic, potentially. Though if our economy fails, China will be very badly hurt in the short/medium term.

Strategically? Just the opposite. Fall of Iranian regime would be very bad news for China. Did you even read the WaPo column posted above?



Here is the thing people do not understand about China. China has the biggest consumer market in the world. They are not dependent on the US. Only 8-10% of China’s trade is US dependent. They will be able to pick that up fairly easily because the US is imposing tariffs.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz declares that he won’t rule out American boots on the ground in Iran

He says Israel has been waiting for 47 years so they cannot pass up this opportunity.

They do not have an unlimited supply of weapons, ships and planes. They will run out eventually.

The Ironic part is the countries calling for an end to this are the reason it is going on for so long. If we had full manpower with multiple airforces and navys attacking from multiple countries it would end this weekend.

Yes, the US is running low.

If China is already hurting and they are aware that the USA is short on munitions (Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, Venezuela), this is the perfect time for China to take its shot. It is now or never. Like Trump, I doubt Xi cares how many servicemen he loses in the process. And how can Trump decry China attacking a sovereign country when in a matter of months, Trump has bombed three countries, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Iran. And he is threatening of attacking two others, Canada and Greenland, while telling Ireland and Spain to ef' all he will take their bases and use them to attack Iran.


Yes, exactly, these folks are desperate to make this fools errand into something beneficial for the US.


Funnily enough, it’s just the opposite.

I’m opposed to the US strikes, but am frustrated that other opponents are fabricating bs reasons for opposition (China wins!), which are facially idiotic.

There are plenty of solid reasons to oppose US attacks; using crappy arguments instead makes opponents look like morons.


For the love of god, it’s embarrassing to watch you contort yourself trying to talk about how a weakened US doesn’t benefit China.

No. Iran is a real country. Allies would be nice but all we got is Israel. Israel will not put troops on the ground and have their own agenda- failed state with a long civil war 20-30 years. Trump will go a lone with this and has already signed up for the next Israeli war- Turkey.

The US and Iran had a deal on nuclear weapons and republicans broke it. There is no way Iran would make a deal with Trump and republicans. They will break any deal as soon as Israel tells them to.

I’m sorry, apologies if we don’t lend too much weight to an opinion piece in the Bezos Trump daily.

Iran can easily and cheaply continue making their drones.

The 'they' turn out to be 'we' as well.

The ironic part is that you are expecting help from people you've shat on, accused of exploiting the US, threatened to invade, and otherwise told 'Eff you, we're AMERICA FIRST and will turn inward now'. Who were never even informed of these plans, and had no input on our harebrained schemes in the first place.

Feel sorry for U.S. allies like South Korea, Japan, and India. They don’t have much backup oil supply. The U.S. restricts them from buying Russian oil. China, on the other hand, can easily increase its imports from Russia to offset losses from places like Venezuela and Iran. There’s also no major transportation choke point—Russia already has oil pipelines to China, so it doesn’t depend on vulnerable sea routes. China is tired of winning.

It would appear that we are helping to fund Iran's war (or should I say "dust up"?) effort. Only the Trump administration could fill itself with the itellectual ginats who do this.
