how long will China watch one of its principal sources of cheap oil so crucial for the double digit growth and industrial effort get confiscated for at least a generation by its main competitor, is today's billion-dollar geopolitical question. If there isn't *one* strategic analyst within their *entire* state apparatus able to tell the higher echelons to effing move from their pathetic spectating posture and act like a nation truly contemplating a global superpower role, then they deserved to remain a sub-par regional actor for the remainder of the century. Part of a nation becoming a superpower is to boast a number of true visionary architects of foreign policy.

The US had Brzezinski, Kissinger, the USSR had Gromyko. China, by its current lack of political courage and initiative, and assuming that catastrophe of a non-stance remains their posture for the whole duration of the war and god forbid Iran breaks as a country, the consequences will reverberate and will be taught as their single biggest strategic blunder of the century in every of their foreign policy papers, academies and circles for 50 years to come.

And "the need to balance cordial relations with the GCC" does not stand the test of the current existential conflict for Iran. Prioritizing them is one thing, dropping Iran so casually as some sort of toxic asset is completely another.

The GCC are and will remain core US satellites at the end of the day, even if the KSA has timidly ventured a bit further away relative to the other micro-states, but will listen to America whenever they throw a tantrum at a given geopolitical juncture. There will always be a hard limit to what they can do with them, same with Turkey on NATO's side. IF they can't see it, they aren't even worthy to be considered serious players at scale, period.

PS : thanks for the warm welcome @Persian Gulf and @shapurzolaktaf , + all others who reacted positively. We're all in this together even from outside. I truly appreciate.

IS PRC ready? to take the mantle? does PRC wants to be a SUPER POWER?

Very much doubt this is true.

Edit: the part about fighter jets.

Every poll shows 65% firmly against it.

Only 26% are for it.

In U.K. about 90% are against it.

Congress is not reflective of the people.

They are being blackmailed by Epstein files.

Because there's too much money to be made. They've padded their portfolios with defense stocks and those are all up. Every last one of them in Congress is writhing in the pleasures of financial orgasm because of the gain in value. They like it and want some more of it.

Hi,

This is what is known as a numbers station. Numbers stations date back to WWII and the cold war, they sre used by governments and spies to covertly transmit information to their agents abroad - this is done using a series of numbers and letters or phrases - only agents with the appropriate cryptogram are able to translate the message.

This numbers station was first picked up before Epic Fury and again in the 5th of March.

It was broadcasting on 7900 and hidden behind a music radio transmission in Farsi aimed at Iran.

The Iranians jammed this frequency using a technique called Bubble Jamming. The station then hopped channels to 7500 which was jammed too and then it was picked up again at 7400.

The fact that the Iranians arw jamming it leads me to believe this is a hostile adverserial operation aimed against Iran.

It broadcasts from a repater near Israel.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, I was not familiar with this Numbers station intelligence technique, but it makes alot of sense.

Hopefully Iran can disrupt those transmissions.

Akin to the 2003 Invasion of Irak by Bush Jr. I honestly don't feel i'm overstating this.

And "the need to balance cordial relations with the GCC" does not stand the test of the current existential conflict for Iran. Prioritizing them is one thing, dropping Iran so casually as some sort of toxic asset is completely another.

China is rapidly transitioning away from oil.

Their oil consumption will drop rapidly once they ban petro vehicles in a few years time.

Why many secular Iranians are shitholes ? I can never understand how they cheer for the destruction of their country just because they hate the current regime !!

U.S airstrikes won't make their country better or developed , look at Iraq 2003 and now
Look at Libya 2011 and now ..

when people don't see any alternates or hope, they can do this, its pretty natural coping mechanism. But it doesn't mean they really hate their country, they're just in momentary desperation
It is existing and can occur in any poor country (specially the islamic nations). Iran is no exception.
The world has become so polarized that this is no longer a surprise anymore.

As I wrote 4 days ago: “The remaining option is to make life unbearable and force surrender by bombing power plants and similar infrastructure. This will come soon at scale.”

-> US and Israel began to attack oil refineries, oil storage, water desalination and other infrastructure at scale today.

This shows their previous plan did not work, now they want to force surrender in that way.

You know that British guy George Galloway. He said he has friends in isreal and they said isreal imposed a 5 year sentence for anyone who is leaking out the videos of casualties and destruction. No way that much destruction and only 9 casualties so far ? Even with bunkers that doesn't make sense.

I tried asking the same question in the isreal subreddit on Reddit and they didn't approve my post lol. And sent me a DM that I can't post any question related to their national security. Isrealis are very secretive and disciplined when it comes to their interests. That's the way they have been brought up since 1948. Constantly in conflict and survival mode.
