A U.S. Attack on Iran Would Show the Limits of China’s Power

China, which depends on Iran for oil and to counter American influence, has a lot to lose from a wider war. But there’s not much it can do about it.

    Everything the US has ever done in the region was to destabilize the middle east so they could steal all the oil.

    Yup. https://www.eurasiantimes.com/first-freight-train-from-china-wheels-into-iran/

    I recommend checking out Ben Norton (Geopolitical Economy Report on youtube).

    Neocon I assume you meant. I don’t recall the NYT ever wearing a mask over it. Bill Kristol was a regular columnist during the war on terror.
    That Time Thomas Friedman Told Iraq to “Suck on This”

      Neoliberal and neocon

      What is the difference?

      Neocons want to murder poor people and steal their natural resources.

      Neoliberals want some of the murderers to be women

        I think neoliberals are more like “We should do this war to help companies make bigger profits” and neocons are more like “We should do this war because i like the smell of flesh when it burns.”

      I don’t find there’s any substantive difference between neocons and neolibs, especially on foreign policy.
