President Donald Trump says the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.
China needs to start caring about how these actions from the US are threatening it’s own stability. I don’t want war with China. But there is a point where they will be forced to take actual action to defend their allies. And that’s what the US is banking on. They want world war. This is another step towards that.
China doesn’t want to make the same mistake as the USSR which is expending geopolitical power to maintain an entire hegemony against the USA. They’re content with making money and don’t spend a lot of energy keeping extreme espionage on every country like the USA does.
China knows the US will take the military option if confronted, which is to their disadvantage, so they’ll find every alternative path or method.
Biggest example is Pakistan. Its a massive CPEC project and defense partner, yet the military leadership in charge is basically a US lapdog because China knows if they try to pull the same regime change shenanigans, its just gonna end up like USSR vs USA 2 with a crap ton of proxy wars everywhere.
I think their longterm goal is to just slowly erode at the global economy. Even if the US owns the regime in the country, a significant portion of money will be going to China. They could choose to eventually use that power to reinforce their allies, but I think that’s still like 20+ years down the line.
China also has relations with Israel, they will most likely try and remain neutral (or at least try to look that way) just like they’re (acting as if they’re) neutral in the war in Ukraine.
Yeah. You’re not wrong. China has trade with everyone. It’s why they always just “condemn” and then continue trading. My point is that at some point they will have to take action in defense of their Allie’s at the US keeps escalating.
