You don’t understand the perfidious Chinese gave the Europeans gunpowder so they could start off a chain of events to finally allow themselves the privilege of making all of those sweet drones.

Well well well looks like I am a bit late to post this lol

You are being obtuse I don’t think I am gonna get anywhere arguing with you

I ignored none of their achievements I merely said they failed which is true and we should learn from their adventurist failures and yes everything that happened in eastern Europe since the 90’s is the direct result of the USSR’s failures. In order to advance world communism you cannot be destroyed so easily as the self proclaimed Vanguard of revolution was. I could continue to argue with you but I think it would not be very productive.

This getting a Nuke is the only thing that will enforce any peace agreement beyond a shadow of a doubt.

China does not have power projection in the middle east it does not have the military ability to go to war there it would need military bases and a bigger air fleet and country’s that will facilitate this on their soil.

“Which the PRC should do (but can’t, because of the way it has made itself reliant on NATO). The PRC could also arm and support the enemies of NATO with personnel.”

They tried making an arms deal (among others) with Iran they backed out of it. If the country’s in the region do not want your assistance there is not much you can do. Also Iran does not need small arms they need air defense and planes these system are complicated and require a lot of training which means time.

“‘Failed’ how?” It no longer exists all of there allies besides the DPRK and Cuba fell NATO has advanced and caused the war in Ukraine today and Azerbaijan has invaded and ethnically cleansed Artsakh the other wars, life expectancy drop and on and on… I would consider these results abject failure F-.

Exactly well said, China is not doing nothing their are building up there country and production and of course cooperating and helping the Global South build up and be independent from the IMF.

The only way to give comfort to the people of Gaza is breaking the siege which would mean war. “disrupt the activities of Israel” Like I said before the only real way china could do this is embargo Israel and everyone that trades with them anything else would be nothing a few sanctions or such would be purely symbolic in effect.

China is still trading with America the sponsor and backer of Israel it does not matter if China stops trading with them directly unless they also cut off the US, (Europe and also any other country that would supply Israel). which would be a surefire sign of an actual war. Could it be useful as a propaganda move and as a way to put more pressure on Israel sure perhaps I would do so If were the supreme leader of China or whatever but I am not. The Iranians are ones in the drivers seat only they can decide which was this is going to go

Agreed the threat of closing the strait in and of itself is a card that can be used

They should just continue engaging Isreal in a war of attraction their air defense’s will not last long and the harder they hurt the more incentive they have to cut there losses. Iran should tie any possible agreements with a permanent peace and rebuilding of Gaza I actually think Ignoring the US’s provocation or responding with a token response and focusing on Israel to be the sounder move closing the strait of Hormuz is a gamble it could make the US want to cut a deal quickly due to hurting American company’s portfolios or make them believe further escalation is the only option.

The USSR was a failure the movements they supported and propped up also failed it might be time to take some lessons from history instead of hopeless dooming because China won’t go to war with the US on behalf of Iran (who has not even asked for military aid from its allies yet). “Save the World” histrionics cause the US did a token airstrike against evacuated nuclear facility’s to look tough come on.

You know that is actually a good question lol was it raining!?

It is just so sad how everyone in these comments seem to want China to come in knight in shining armour and save Iran it is almost pathetic Iran was not weak they should have built up and been ready for an attack against them they should have a nuclear arsenal they should have united the Axis and had a battle plan from Syria to Yemen including Lebanon and Iraq they should have taken this more seriously there survival as a state is at risk but now they stand basically alone. Hezbollah have said they won’t act it is only Yemen and maybe some factions in the PMF that can help them agains Israel and the US.

Iran has been throwing the axis under the bus with these “negotiations” instead of recognizing that there survival depends on inflicting a military defeat on Isreal Instead they let the Axis be dismantled piecemeal

Absolutely pitiful they should have acquired nuclear weapons decades ago anyone with a brain has been saying this it might be a bit late now!

Lol ironic considering that a strongly worded letter is all iran has done so far and they were trying to negotiate with the US while all there allies in Syria and Hezbollah and Yemen are attacked and weakened/destroyed and the genocide continues. Crying about China is missing the forest for the trees the Axis had the initiative they squandered it.
