I knew it. As soon as rumors started circling that China is leaning on Iran to cease fire, I reasoned that China must have offered something in return, due to Iran's extremely strong leverage. I thought expanded trade but weapons make sense too.

Excellent news either way.

Hopefully they're effective enough against Israeli jets. If they are, this could serve as wiping Trump's ass from being unable to force Iarael to obey the ceasefire. If Iran can defend itself against Israeli bombings, Trump can the off-ramp knowing Israel won't drag him in again.

Air defense weapons are "provocative"? That's like a rapist saying it's provocative for women to buy pepper spray.

it's pretty trivial to avoid a nation's air defenses. Effortless in fact.

Anything that might bring down jets blowing up schools and hospitals is a good thing, regardless of who fired them or where they came from. Thats just a fact.

US Intelligence is an oxymoron at this time. Please ignore.

So defensive weapons are provocative now? Wasn't that part of the excuse Russia used to invade Ukraine?

Water is wet.

With all those EV sales they got dick swinging money now.

Can always use more data on the CCP's anti-air capabilities (even if it's just the stuff they're willing to part with) for the main event.

Hope they make it in time

... and could again if the ceasefire falls apart.

isreal's already broken the ceasefire conditions, but cnn is pretending that it hasn't already happened.

part of me is glad that social media that's not controlled by the united states exists to make me aware of how much propanda is piped in front of our faces all day, every day.

China, please Send them that plane that shoots a drone swarms, I'd love to see that boy in action.

“If China does that, China will have big problems, OK?” he said as he left the White House for Florida."

What are you going to do about it ya big baby?
