Before dismissing Iran as “not our problem,” consider this: 1.National security: the regime is aligned with China and Russia. 2.Nuclear risk: collapse increases the incentive to rush for nukes. troops and allies stay exposed as long as it survives. 4.Defense costs keep rising, especially for Israel. instability raises prices...

🇺🇸🇨🇳 What China's Long March 10B successful launch/recovery means within US plans to encircle, contain, & confront China... ▪️One of the US' remaining advantages is its ability to launch more payload to orbit each year than China and Russia combined - allowing it to not only build larger constellations of satellites like Starlink and its fully militarized version, Starshield faster, but in the event of orbital warfare (anti-satellite operations) the US could replace their own faster than China and Russia can even deploy them in the first place; ▪️When China ramps up its actual launch cadence with launch reusability, it will be able to at least match, if not surpass the US; ▪️This will benefit China and its allies like Russia tremendously with both larger and more capable constellations than the US, as well as the ability to eliminate US satellites and replace their own at a higher rate; ▪️That means there is now another rapidly closing window the US has to exploit before this transition takes place, and this advantage is neutralized; ▪️The only question now is how long will it take for China to catch up, and what will the US try to do in the interim to exploit its current advantage before it no longer exists? ▪️The likely window closes around 2030 - another reason the US keeps projecting "war" with China - because 2030 is the point of no return, not just for space, but AI and whatever other advantages the US still has; ▪️For people wondering why China isn't going to war with the US over Palestine or Iran or wherever else, it is likely because Beijing tracks China's rise as inevitable, UNLESS, it does something like step into a war the US wants to fight with China sooner rather than later...

When President Trump talks about a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a way to "kill Iran's economy," we need to remember who stands behind Iran's resilience. Above all, it is China, and not only as a buyer of oil, but as a strategic partner that benefits from Iran remaining a destabilizing force in the Middle East. Russia, of course, as well, but Russia is bogged down in Ukraine. Iran is a tool. For China, Iran serves one simple purpose: to keep the Middle East in a state of chronic instability, which costs the US money, attention, and reputation. ◾️ First, the Iran war is pulling American potential away from Asia right now. The US has deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, two destroyers, two naval task forces, and Patriot and THAAD systems to the Middle East, depleting its stockpile of Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are critical for a potential Taiwan scenario. ◾️ Second, the crisis translates into a blow to the American authority and concessions. Every Middle Eastern war weakens the trust of Asian allies in the United States. Japan and South Korea are already experiencing delays in deliveries of ordered US weapons. Taiwan is watching as Washington trades off its security for the sake of a summit with Beijing: Trump delayed a multi-billion-dollar arms package to Taiwan so as not to jeopardize the summit with President Xi. ◾️ Third, China is the sole beneficiary of the oil blockade of Iran. Despite sanctions, Iran earned $54 billion in 2022 and $53 billion in 2023. Where does this oil go? To China. More than 90% of Iranian oil exports are absorbed by the Chinese market, primarily through networks of small independent oil refineries in Shandong province. The scheme is worked out down to the last detail. Iranian tankers turn off their transponders, transfer oil "ship-to-ship" off the coast of Malaysia, relabel the cargo as Malaysian or Indonesian, and settle payments in yuan through small banks outside the dollar infrastructure. In 2025, these shadow tankers made over 1,500 voyages from Iran to China. ◾️ Fourth, Iran is increasingly serving as a testing ground for China's indirect military-technical support. According to US officials, the Chinese company SMIC supplied Iranian military structures with equipment for chip production and, likely, technical training. Ships carrying sodium perchlorate - a key component of solid rocket fuel - were set to depart from Chinese ports. Iran was also nearing a deal to purchase Chinese CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles, which pose a direct threat to US ships in the Gulf. And US intelligence is now recording possible preparations to transfer MANPADS to Iran via third countries. Some claims regarding deeper support, particularly concerning BeiDou and Chinese air defense systems, remain disputed, but the overall direction is clear: China is helping Iran not only survive under pressure but also raise the cost of the US military presence in the region. Therefore, a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not pointless in terms of pressuring Iran, as it could physically cut off a significant portion of exports that ultimately go to China. But it is a crude instrument: it hurts not only Iran and China, but the entire energy system of the region, global prices, and US allies. That is precisely why this move is both powerful and strategically toxic.

There is a plan for this war and it’s working out exactly as America wants it to. Trumps post tonight is yet more proof of it. The prevailing narrative is that America doesn’t know what it’s doing. That argument is BS. This isn’t about Iran. America is resetting the global order and moving forward quickly with the Greater North America plan. It is the end of globalism as we know it. 1. Middle East - Iran is now choking the strait (tolls, threats) causing Middle Eastern oil to become less desirable (not a reliable source). Ramifications of the war will continue for years. Iran has attacked other Middle Eastern powers, now all on edge and openly aggressive. Iran weakened enough it can’t get nukes, but not enough it can’t cause serious problems. Continued chaos in the Strait for the foreseeable, bad for oil business in the Middle East (see oil leaders mtg Trump). Great for American oil. 2. Europe - As energy crisis hits, Europe becomes more reliant on American oil and gas (due to above), good leverage for negotiations and long term debt ceiling (initially a worry) as europe is forced to buy more US debt if it wants energy deals. Ukraine war good long term as it knocks out Russia as energy supplier to Europe and keeps Russians weakened in attrition. Who does Europe turn to for oil? Only supplier left is America who now controls one of the largest oil producers in the world, Venezuela. 3. China - America is in a serious trade/tariff war with China, its biggest rising global threat. 45% of China’s oil comes from the strait. Venezuela’s largest oil buyer was China (50%-80%). Who now has the upper hand in that negotiation? Mid-term, China has to play USA’s game. 4. Greenland - NATO allies predictably failed to help, proves Trumps point they can’t be relied upon protect Greenland (take UK battleship already out of commission as an example) - don’t forget allies were all briefed that the war in Iran was coming, they walked into the trap. UK is a prime example, ask why so much focus from Trump on its failure to help? Because it’s a massive European power and the “special relationship” is a symbolic target. 5. South America (separate from Iran war but part of the same plan) - USA has already begun working on removing enemies and anti-US regimes. See recent Shield of America’s mtg, financial support for Argentina, Venezuela and threats to Cuba. USA is securing is back garden and forcing China out permanently. If you think all of that looks like America losing, then you’ll hate to see what winning looks like. Their plan is working. This is the Greater North America project is in full swing, it’s part of a massive reset of the global order.
