  • China does get oil from Iran, but IIRC it looks like they’re shoring up their oil shipments. Countries downstream of China seem to be getting hit harder e.g. Australia. China / Russia doesn’t want a pro-US coup to take over, but the IRG seems to be surprisingly resilient and I think they’ll view small shipments of support as sufficient for now, while they gain the PR win.

    I don’t think Europe cares to make another antiproliferation or oil treaty if Israeli hostilities continue for they have no forceful leverage to stop the US or the rabid dog that is Israel’s right wing government.


  • IMO, China has no interest in helping their geopolitical rivals out of this mess, and Russia likely benefits from the US being engaged in another prolonged, dipshit war.

    The EU helped Obama negotiate the nuclear antiproliferation treaty that Trump trashed during his first term, and Iran would look for a stronger deal from them because of that.

    Pakistan doesn’t want further conflict on its borders, and will likely push for peace talks, but have very little to give in negotiations.

    All other powers benefit more from sitting and watching this play out, blaming the higher inflation and fuels costs, rightfully, on the US and Israel.

    The US needs to concede or force regime change for this to end anytime soon.

    That would be true for the 2000 election as well, but Democrats didn’t fight the SC decision and so we got two expensive wars in the subsequent 8 years that some democrats even supported, demonstrating their fascist sympathies.

    Lemmy is full of people who want to actually discuss ways to have a better world, unlike you it seems lmao.

    You’re trying to argue the status quo to people who saw what the status quo was since Reagan, but you still don’t get it.

    I’m so glad my consistent votes for democrats over my life have definitely not lead me to the precipice of fascism… oh wait.
