Don't forget about easing sanctions against Russian oil as well. They're making money from this too.

that shit is making me crazy.. why do I, random European dude, remember trump breaking the Iran deal all those years ago, and no fucking journalist today dares to put a wee little reminder at the beginning of every article just to get all up to speed? wtf man

ah but you seem to ignore that obama was a secret kenyan. he was all sneaky about it, being born in hawaii the way he was.

He couldn't handle the fact that a black guy bombed more brown kids than him.

2mil yuan is roughly 292k dollars. No idea how much that is compared to other shipping costs

Given his understanding of tariffs, this would not surprise me at all

A Zionist twat. Hope terrible things happen to him.

You are correct.

And a pedophile

Curious...

“Israel and/or Russia first”

ART OF THE DEAL BABY

Don't forget, this was also a distraction for the Epstein files release and the fact that he raped children.

To be clear this is copy and pasted but it is critical information about the motivations behind our aggression towards Iran that doesn't depend on the dubious claim that Russia secretly controls the largest economic and military power of the last century.

To be entirely clear, a large contingent of the US ruling class has been frothing at the mouth to invade Iran for decades. It should not be surprising that it happened and we should not blame our governments aggression on foreigners. That rhetoric is a useful tool to reduce the fury you should rightfully feel towards our rulers.

I favor the theory that it was now or never.

They've overused sanctions and have kickstarted dedollarization. For the same reason they kidnapped Maduro, they only had few years before it reached an irreversible tipping point. They had to capture Iran's oil and monopolize it to keep the petrodollar alive.

And.

Iran was becoming a harder and harder target to attack militarily, and it had just defeated their attempt at color revolution by demonstrating it could defeat their Starlink operation on the ground. The longer they waited, the more rockets and missiles Iran would have to retaliate against US assets. The post-color revolutionary period was actually the weakest Iran would ever be ever again.

And.

China is a rising juggernaut, and Iran plays a role in that rise. They've signed on to join the Belt and Road initiative, China was key to restoring relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Iran is a key oil supplier for China, Iran is a member of BRICS, and China has also been investing heavily in Iran's infrastructure. It wouldn't be long before the sanctions didn't even matter anymore because Iran will be able to sell and buy everything it needs without the West.

And.

Israel is no longer a viable settler project. The promise of Israel was that it would be a walled garden in the wilderness, an imperial core lifestyle with superior fire power and a perfect missile defense system and an omniscient surveillance system. Hamas blew that myth up during the Al Aqsa flood, now Israel isn't getting new settlers anymore and many settlers are trying to leave. It's why they've had to ban Israelis from flying out of the country. If the Axis of Resistance isn't destroyed, Israel is finished.

And I'm sure there's more. Basically, if Iran doesn't fall within the next few months, the US empire will begin an irreversible decline.

Buckle up

It's literally going to pay for the destruction of this war and the complicity of those that stood by and watched.

Aren't all ships paying in Chinese Yuan, not Russian Ruble?

China has more to gain from all of this than Russia.

And he's a pedophile

One can imagine that being told "a civilization will die tonight" will act as motivation for them to get one.

This time next year we'll be millionaires! (never mind that we were multi-millionaires last year).
