I feel like that’s how all coverage of the US should be done.

It’s accurate and hilarious either way. :)

There’s a lot of stuff happening all at once, and it’s hard to keep up with what’s actually been verified or not. I really hope the US is not crazy enough to nuke Iran, but at this point it’s hard to rule anything out.

Although, another way to read it is that the painting associating negative trends of consumerism with the west.

Oh did Pakistan actually say that Iran is under their nuclear umbrella now? Last I saw they pledged support for Iran, but didn’t really specify the details.

It’s worth noting that Iran absolutely does get support from both Russia and China. There’s even a direct rail line going from China through Russia to Iran now. Iran is also a country of 90 million people, with a strong industrial base, its own energy, and food security. It’s not really clear to me how the US plans to invade Iran to be honest. The logistics situation is very much stacked against them, and Iran has advanced weapons that can take out US assets like carriers and destroy their bases in the region. Short of going nuclear, Israel and the US will lose this war.

This is the kind of nuanced analysis I’d expect from someone whose usual hobbies include sniffing glue and licking windows

It is looking very likely that the US is going to enter the war at this point.

very true

They didn’t actually do much to help Russia in any other way, and in fact have made counterproductive moves diplomatically in the UN

Russia never required them nor asked for any other help. It’s also clear that Russia has had no problem dealing with NATO on its own militarily. Meanwhile, no idea what these counterproductive moves diplomatically in the UN that you refer to are.

They helped starve out DPRK.

Weird way to say they ensured DPRK actually made it through the western sanctions.

What good is BRICs if they don’t pursue de-dollarization and don’t assist each other militarily? I guess we get some fun conferences?

They do pursue dedollariation, maybe spend a bit of time actually understanding the subject you’re attempting to debate here?

Why would they be doing that right now?

Also, dedollarization is literally happening as we speak. Chinese CIPS is already handling more transactions than SWIFT. You really don’t have any idea what’s happening in the world do you?

I disagree, China simply isn’t acting bombastically, but the support they provided Russia was absolutely critical for keeping Russian economy humming along after the divorce with the west. China has also been instrumental in organizing BRICS and turning it into a viable alternative to the Western economic system.

🤣

Hezbollah is still around last I checked, Syria is not exactly a win either given that it’s incredibly volatile, and now the west will be forced to pour resources into it to keep a pro western regime in power. Ukraine is absolutely not a draw by any metric. Russia has come out of the war far stronger, and the west is now teetering on an economic crash. On top of that, Russia showed that NATO weapons are not superior, that NATO lacks industrial capacity to take on peer competitors, and that you don’t need the West for your economy to thrive. Russia is growing at over 4% right now economically, while the west is in a recession. Finally, there’s now a whole alternative economic system forming entirely outside the west. Calling this a draw is frankly silly.

It’s just kind of incredible to watch them continuously taking Ls on every front, but being utterly incapable of taking a step back and doing a bare minimum of introspection.

I imagine it will be similar type of support they provided Russia with. China will use their industrial base to ensure that Iran stays stable economically, and possibly provide dual use components that can be used by Iranian military.

I’d argue the fact that Russia was able to defeat NATO in Ukraine is proof that we’re long past the point where the west could take on China. The danger is that people running the empire don’t seem to understand this.

If they really do start a war with Iran, they can forget about China at that point.
