Iran is already China's Puppet faction like Syria was Russia's. The resistance in Iran is very real, a push to end dictatorship, but clearly the USA under the orange fuck's leadership is more interested in expanding Israeli borders.
What the fuck is the 82nd Airborne Paratroopers gonna find if they touch down in Iran? This orange fucking moron doesn't understand the only way to resolve this is to install somebody, to support the rebellion against Ayatollah's factions, and they're only polarizing candidates against them by bombing cities, putting boots on the ground, and allowing whatever the fuck Israel thinks its doing.
And all but 2 GOP house members are completely on board. Every GOP senator. All of them.
The oil companies outside of Russia aren't exactly benefiting from this, rn. Exxon Mobil was the major player in the Iraqi oil fields that are now being attacked and shut down as a result of the war.
It's more likely that this fat orange fuck is working for Russian interests than some kind of century old American cabal.
It's an unfortunate fact that anti-"capitalist" propaganda is used by Tankies on the Fediverse and their definition of "capitalism" doesn't include their lord and savior Xi Jinping or numerous other affiliated dictators, so yes NATO is part of this discussion.
If DNC had power in either chamber then this would not currently be happening. The senate vote was party line, the house vote had 2 DNC and 2 GOP cross the aisle.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are pretty recent, and while Tibet started a while ago they're still pretty aggressive with tearing down temples and disappearing people.
Does the USA own Iran? Does it own Venezuela? Does it own Iraq? Does it own Vietnam?
What the USA is doing is waging war, and only because Russian and Chinese election interference put the orange asshole in power to begin with, and it's benefiting Russia who is now able to sell its oil and gas again.
I read the manga for that one, it's pretty cool. Her mom's a psycho, though.
