As sun tzu once said, “holy shit your enemy just elected literally the dumbest motherfucker on the planet and the rest of the government refuses to do anything about it. Buddy, you can literally just coast to victory, gg.”

If I were Iran (I’m not, ftr) and China (also not), I would only offer safe passage to ships flying non-US-buddy flags and insured by a Chinese shipping insurer. In turn, the Chinese insurer insists on indemnity from sanctions until the Iran situation is concluded at the UN, to restore worldwide economic stability.

Safe passage for the rest would be pending the ceasefire & reparation negotiations (to be held in a public UN forum in NYC).

I shudder at the thought.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

That’s what happen with an ‘America first’ attitude. If a person has a ‘me first’ attitude, he won’t have many friends.

China just really out here waiting as the US accidentally demolishes itself, making way for a new hegemony
