Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Immortals]

China immigration rate is near zero, even if you are right and they need more young population in the future they can open borders to become a multicultural dumpster like the West is.

It is not a cultural that you can “immigrate” to like Japan or U.S. or Europe. It’s not simple as opening your borders and everyone comes in. If such a Policy were that easy then Europe wouldn’t have negative population growth despite allowing in millions of Arabs, Africans, and Indians.

China, like many Asian countries, has an inverted demographics pyramid. 1 child and 2 child policies of the old days have engrained into people’s mind to have low offspring. That’s not reversing. This is a global problem not just attributed to China. But the problem is exacerbated by lack of any meaningful immigration into China to offset this.

But industrialized countries don't need that exponential population growth, they only need energy and raw materials.

60-70% of a countries economic growth (GPD) is it citizens spending money (consumer spending). If its citizens are old and dying and not working then economic growth suffers as the labor pool gets smaller and smaller the working class doesn’t spend as much. Basic econ 101.

And thanks to Ukraine war, they will have all the energy and resources they could wish from Russia.

Putin won’t live forever you know. When he dies or retire, then what? A system built around 1 man. You don’t think the West has spies in that system to take control of Russia?.

They just attacked Tehran proximities. So Hail and Kill

No evidence of this. People need to stop promoting China as some fierce rebel to Western order. It has literally been the backbone of the western economic engine for decades.

There is no proof China is sending anything to Iran much less during this blockade.

There was a laughable amount of users on here when the war broke out saying China is going to flood Iran with Shahed drones from its factories and manpads and what have you. I knew that was a delusional BS. Completely uncharacteristic of China.

Iran’s trade and relations with China is transactional. China selling raw materials or components to Iran is no different than if it were to sell those same components to Brazil or Egypt. It’s simple trade.

Iranian and Chinese military transactions are non existent. Last major deal was back in 2000s for C-801/C-802 (modern day Noor and Qader missiles). Dual use technologies and precursor fuels are again simple trade that China would do with any country willing to trade with it. There are no “special” circumstances for Iran here. Simple trade.

People overhype China’s role in Iran. It has a very small role. It’s a transactional relationship. Nothing ‘strategic’ about it. China cannot be trusted just like Putin couldn’t be trusted.

The problem for Iran is it lives in a time where the two remaining “axis” powers (Russia and China) prefer to not have strategic allies or confrontation with the West. Any “allies” they do have they will sell up the river…..for the right prices.

Compare this to last 100 years when you had: Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Mussolini’s Italy, USSR, Saddam’s Iraq, Syria on Assad Sr, Egypt, Ghaddafi’s Libya, Vietcong in Vietnam.

Face it the remaining two axis powers are endangered species and cornered by the West. They think their best odds are fighting this alone and hope the West collapses before they do or WW3 occurs and they can use nukes to offset the imbalance.

There was not much Iran could have done to get Putin or Xi to enter into a strategic alliance. At the end of the day the Arabs and West had more money and influence and investment opportunities then Iran. Iran even under the best scenario couldn’t hope to outmatch those opportunities.

I can understand your frustration.
But that is not true. Even if we don't have evidencies that China is delivering raw materials to Irán (they're doing), you see how fast Irán repaired the vital land road link to China when US bombed that bridge.

And I repeat again, Irán is for China as Hizbollah or Houthies are for Irán. There is no way for Irán to sustain a so long protracted ballistic missile exchange without some external help.

Putin can be more reluctant because he has his own war and because the odd links between zionists and Russians, but China is by large the main contributor for Iranian help.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Western monsters are too quick to lecture the world about human rights and shit yet none of them condemned this warcrime against little kids, i hope people responsible for this will feel the horror and pain as these children and their parents have felt.

Why are these professional soldiers filming this sort of thing Blair Witch style?!

Well from the security point of view that's the dumbest thing. Many users on Twitter actually spotted their exact location on map.
Time to send those exact coordinates to IRGC. Killing all rats in one place is a nice pest control.

Neither Trump nor the US have appetitie for long wars. Trump will get out of it the day he gets something that he can sell to his public.

Im sure Putin thought the same with his "special military operation"

Unbelievable!

While I love Senator Chris van Hollen, the following video is even more fun to watch the grilling of Hegseth:

Iran is still using inventory it built from 2010-2015.

Assuming Iran had 7500 missiles (hypothetical random guess) when this conflict started, it should still have 50%+ remaining with no new production needed.

So no, there is no evidence of Chinese assistance currently for manufacturing NEW missiles. Iran is still using old inventory mixed with some newer gen missiles.

You forget Iran has been building missiles for 25 years for this very war.

7.5k figure seems quite low no? The generally held belief was that they had close to 100k at least along with 80k drones before the war.
