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

What are the chances (in your opinion) if US gets bogged down in this war and its most of its fleet is busy focused on Iran and munitions are burned to critical levels, that Xi would try to take advantage and take Taiwan in a Blitzkrieg operation?

It seems a perfect opportunity to coordinate with the world and collapse the world economy via oil prices and Iran keeping the U.S. distracted while China makes a strong move on the island

I know a bit about Xi and his upbringing/family and how he rose to power. He doesn’t strike me as a man who wants to be forced into a military solution, no matter how enticing the opportunity.

There was rumors that he wanted to take Taiwan back in 2024, but he was talked out of it by a high ranking party official (forgot the name) who has since been removed for “corruption”.

I’d like a Chinese person’s opinion as I don’t follow Chinese geopolitics enough to make an assessment on Xi’s long term plan for Taiwan.
i can tell you the chance is zero
 
For Russians it is time to take revenge for breaking Soviet Union and Ukrainian war.
They will be stupid to miss this chance once in a million years

Russians positions are mysteries akin to a Russian doll... keep peeling and there's another inside.
They have brought the Ukrainian conflict to a simmer that cannot be resolved amicably on the table as the cardless joker in Kyiv wants none of it... there to rule the ashes. And Putin when it comes to leverage placates for some unknown ideals.
Not even asking to get his assets unfrozen ... happy with the windfall. This is where the perfidy of his counterparts(the collective) becomes apparent because they just wouldn't miss a chance as juicy as that... when the cost of US blunder is being shouldered by the world nd he's just happy racking it in... till it doesn't and the sanctions fall back on...
 
Anyone caught spying - death sentence - no excuse.
We have had the same kind of snakes in Pakistan bro. Someone who spies against their own nation is someone who has sold out their nation (their mother) they have no honour left, best thing to do is disconnect them from the server.

Iraq has found a way around Hormuz

Not really. They have reactivated a pipeline to the Ceyhan port in Turkey that had been inactive for more than ten years. This specific pipeline is managed by the federal Iraqi government and has the capacity to export approximately 250,000 barrels per day. Prior to the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Iraq's exports reached 4 million barrels per day. Currently, this figure has decreased to 1.5 million barrels per day. Additionally, there is the possibility of exporting 200,000 barrels per day through the KRG pipeline network to Turkey, provided that an agreement is reached between Erbil and Baghdad. However, even if this happens, the export of half a million barrels per day is minimal compared to the previous export levels.
