Pushing Russia towards China was a massive geopolitical mistake for the USA and NATO. And it was all a hasty act to punish Russia involving the Crimea issue by kicking Russia out of G8. Perhaps the biggest irony is that Trump could be right this time with his take that it was a mistake to kick out Russia from the G8.
Now Russia and China are helping each other against the USA and Europe. China buys energy from Russia, helping its war economy, while Russia benefitted from investments by China moving into areas vacated by the West. And to add insult to injury, all these trade and investments are being done outside the US$, with de-dollarization being the agenda. Karma works in mysterious ways, or should I say God's justice works in mysterious ways.
Russia and China have cemented their ties, with Russia's energy now flowing to the East, particularly to China and India which is going to be a permanent feature with the latter two countries needing massive cheap energy to fuel their industrial growth. With Middle East tensions flaring now and then, Russia is providing some semblance of energy reliability for China.
If the USA attacks Iran, it will close off the 'Straits of Hormuz' and Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates will face economic disaster without the ability to export their oil. That is going to send oil prices into the twilight zone.
Trump is now demanding Iran's 'unconditional surrender' and threatens to assassinate Iran's leader. Gloating about killing a sovereign country's leader openly is unbecoming of a leader and is an act of an uncivilized being, not to mention he is supposed to be a leader setting an example for the world to look up to. Trump should also demand for the unconditional surrender of the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas to make life easier and better for the Israelis. Trump is realistically facing pressure from the Israeli lobby in the USA to enter the war, knowing that Israel is facing a dire situation by underestimating the resolve of the Iranians in retaliation.
Grandstanding by Trump achieves nothing, like gloating about China needing to kiss his arse. Even his own countrymen are looking at him as no more than a clown. His birthday cum military parade was a disaster with meagre crowds compared to the huge protests erupting all around the country. That birthday bash was estimated to have cost taxpayers as much as US$45 million to stage, according to some sources. And the Hillbillies were known to have laughed at military parades in Russia and North Korea honoring dictators. Well, who laugh last laugh best.
Some points are off topic, so my apologies if I offended anyone.

Trump is undoubtedly the most disgusting USA President in history, if not the most disgusting human being to walk this earth. He lies whenever he opens his dirty mouth, lies again the next second to cover his earlier lies. How did the USA end up with him in the White House, and for two terms, is really astonishing. This is probably how Empires collapse eventually, with such leaders leading the country.
In a recent video, Trump was talking about an upcoming negotiation with Iranian representatives scheduled for Sunday 15th June in Oman. On Friday 13th June, Israel carried out its pre-emptive strike on Iran, that puts negotiations between USA and Iran out of the question. Now, days later, Trump was telling the world that Israel needed to strike Iran because the latter was not willing to negotiate. How he could lie through his dirty mouth by disregarding the facts is so absurd. Was the attack planned to sabotage the upcoming negotiation so that the USA/Iran war can be put to reality, using Israel as the fuse to ignite the flames? Any truce from the negotiation will probably not result in a conflict with Iran, which the USA and Israel had been looking forward to for decades.
Moreover, Trump's appointed Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, a Hindu by the way, had told the media earlier that Iran had not proceeded with uncovered plans to make a bomb. When asked about Tulsi Gabbard's information, Trump openly said that he 'does not care what she thinks'. In other words, Trump does not take the advice of even those he appointed into office, just acting at his own whims and fancies.
Now Israel is finding difficulty dealing with the Iranian retaliation and wants the USA to enter the war. It looks ominous that Russia, China and North Korea will also be helping Iran if the USA attacks Iran. This had been Putin's warning for a long time.
North Korea now says that it will never de-nuclearize, looking at the Israeli attack on Iran. Iran on the other hand has now openly indicated that getting the bomb is now its priority.
Listening to Trump talking is like listening to a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. You have to think like a child to believe in what he is talking about. It would be hilarious and insulting the intelligence of an adult mind, listening to his speech for anyone outside the USA, but not for his MAGA base and the Hillbillies.
Trump cannot survive a press meeting without lying, boasting, grandstanding and gaslighting his way around. Trump cannot make his point without unsensible thought and without resorting to self-flattery. The fact that he is immune to shame takes the cake. We know he is immune to shame anyway, with his six bankruptcies and still boasting about his success in his 'Art of the Deal' mantra. Anybody else would have hidden out of sight for good.
MAGA base is basically inbred rednecks and hillbillies.
Thank you. So little in Western media about Tulsi Gabbards testimony in the congress on Iran. She said she has been tellingvhimbsince Marc that there are no nuclear arms in Iran. Now the Anerican Rednecks and Israelis are saying that they are saving the world from Iran as they were about to start manufacturing weapons and planning to destroy them all
The narrative of the USA and Israel is rapidly changing from preventing nukes to fermenting a regime change. Since Iran was not about to make bombs as exposed by Tulsi Gabbard, the reason to attack Iran has been spun in another direction - Iran now needs a regime change.
