RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)The longer the GCC waits to make peace with Iran, the more likely this outcome. The earlier they sign the better the terms.The why is quite simple. Hundreds of thousands of square miles of Afghanistan-like terrain dotted with tunnels and caves, which can be filled with missiles and drones made from a practically infinite supply line of Chinese parts.China would love such an extended proxy war because (a) the U.S. will have to divert even more resources away from East and Southeast ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Are you suggesting we bomb Chinese and Indian ships? That is who is resupplying Iran, in exchange for passage through Hormuz.We would be insane to bomb their ships, just as Russia would be insane to bomb the ships and planes we use to resupply Ukraine. No sane person wants to turn a proxy war into WW3.Unlike the Zionist fanatics currently running the U.S., India and China recognize a 21st century impregnable region controlling crucial shipping lanes when they see it, and are condu ...

BTW, China is also benefitting from the U.S. diverting weapons and other resources away from our East Asia allies to restock the pathological Middle East war.China, by supplying Iran with copious drone and missile parts, to be stashed in deep caves spread across hundreds of thousands of square miles of Iranian terrain within easy range of Hormuz, has the manufacturing ability to win a proxy war of attrition in the Gulf, however many days or years or decades it might last.Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4):@tedmitew O ...

太多人对美国和以色列这场代理人战争的胜利过于自信,然而事实上帝国的傲慢正在逐渐威胁到他们自己的切身利益特朗普即使骑虎难下单方面宣称已经胜利,伊朗也不可能就此收手。对商船开火的举动已经证明了他们的态度,只要伊朗拖两到三个月,恐怕美国就不得不让渡什么来求和,不然原油价格高居不下的局面不会是他们想看见的这就和文明 6 科技树爬到顶了的情况是相似的。。。大家都把科技树爬得差不多了,武器水平打不出碾压局面,要打就是拖经济的持久战Yuyue (@yuyue_chris):中学历史老师早在我十多岁的时候告诉我要 “早点自立、出山、入世”哈梅内伊掌权三十多年,是伊朗以及整个中东抵抗阵线的绝对政治与精神中枢。现在这场美以联合空袭中骤然身亡,有点像引发一战的萨拉热窝事件,斐迪南大公遇刺身亡的时刻 ...

60 Minutes rewind. Tensions keep rising between the US and Iran since the Israel Hamas war began.

Tehran is hiring hitmen around the world in an effort to intimidate, abduct, and assassinate perceived enemies of the regime, ...
