And just last week, they completed a rail link specifically to move oil. So now China can get its oil without a water route.
Now you think Israel should bomb CHINA? Lemma guess, with our help. HARD PASS.

I'd say this was actually Trump's 5D chess objective - but of course it wasn't. Just a side benefit to whatever it is that we're doing in the Middle East right now.

Don't forget to thank them for finally taking action to suppress the spread of violent Islamic Revolution from Iran. Or perhaps you preferred to wait for that cancer to spread more widely, which would have all kinds of financial and other benefits, no doubt.
There's another thread asking if this is the beginning of WWIII. You may want to post your comment over there.Anonymous wrote:Israel has an app for that.

Why would China intervene to stop something that's going be so beneficial to them? Rubio better be careful he doesn't give more away to China. Anything they do to help will be a trick.Anonymous wrote:Now Rubio is begging China to talk to Iran. He’s like a child lost in the mall.

Doesn't it seem awfully coincidental that right after China finishes it's rail link to ME oil, a conflict pulls US aircraft carriers out of the Pacific, leaving the Chinese navy in complete control? Now the rest of the world will be focused on the Strait of Hormuz, raising oil prices for everyone except China, who will be the only country Iran can sell its oil to, at a steep discount.

So you confirm that Trump is defending OPEC and the Saudi’s interests.
Not even the Saudi, Putin. Russia is financing its economy and Ukraine war thanks to oil and low prices were killing Russia’s economy.
The idiots thought they voted for America First and voted for Israel and Russia first instead.
