US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[hasssanali8998]

A bunch of incompetent fools who don’t dare face the facts.

You made a generalization that Muslim students in China are bad and freeloaders. You provided no evidence for this claim (I doubt you even graduated) and are now trying to act like this is a worthwhile debate when it's just a retard (Indian, probably) trying to bait people.

And by the way, a few of my friends are in HK/shanghai studying, and they were the best students in my school. You don't get to go to these unis if you aren't the best, because most people from these regions can't afford the fees, so they need scholarships—and you don't get them for free

Does US need to go to China to reaffirm that Irán will never have a nuclear weapons?.

That is an assumption that US cannot oblige alone to Irán to develop nuclear weapons.

It is between a implícit confession of US defeat and a explicit recognition of China's paper in the US main issues.

Time to milk americans

Trumps trip to China has been planned for months, so to assert his trip to China revolves around Iran is simply false.

US has lost nothing, we aren’t the country whose economy is on the verge of collapse, being blockaded, and military industrial base destroyed.

US Says China Wants More Of Its Oil to Cut Middle East Reliance​

Chinese President Xi Jinping opposes efforts to charge a toll to navigate the Strait of Hormuz and is interested in purchasing more US oil to reduce its dependence on the waterway in the future, according to a White House official.

Xi made the comments during his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Beijing on Thursday, according to the official. China’s official readout of the meeting didn’t include energy in the list of topics the two presidents discussed, although it did say they talked about the Middle East.

China is the world’s largest importer of crude oil and natural gas, and the US is the biggest producer of both. But shipments between the two countries ground to a halt last year after China imposed levies on the commodities in retaliation to Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods.

Global oil and gas supplies have come under severe pressure this year after Iran effectively shut Hormuz in response to US and Israeli air strikes, and threatened to charge ships for passage. The closure of the strait has disrupted roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas exports, driving prices higher.

The US has since started its own blockade to prevent ships from exiting the Persian Gulf. Chinese oil supertanker Yuan Hua Hu appeared to pass through the blockade safely on Thursday.

Both Xi and Trump agreed the strait must remain open to support the free flow of energy, according to the US official.

US has lost nothing, we aren’t the country whose economy is on the verge of collapse, being blockaded, and military industrial base destroyed.

So why does US stop his legendary successful campaign against Irán?.

Excluding 9 aircrafts (some of them E3) and at least 24 UCAV reapers and also between the 40 and 70% of ammunitions stocks of every kind (advanced interceptors to JSOW bombs, among many others), oh... Well excluding also 12 bases and the navigation freedom in Straits of Hormuz and also even the alliance with Germany... Yes, US lost nothing.

Everybody knows that this trip was scheduled well before the US/Israelí war against Irán. But the question is, why going to visit your granny when you came back from Las Vegas???.

Man, love this forum's section.

It remembers me the excellent "Unforgiven" film... The sign "No firearms at Big Whisky".

Seeing that the fellow moderators were busy during overnight hours my time zone, a couple of you are bucking for another thread time out. You know who you are. So suggest you stop it.

@Musings , @Fatman17 , thanks for the assist.

I'll call BS on that one. China is not about to by more expensive US oil when there is a cheaper alternative nearby. Expect them to purchase more Russian oil as well as assist Iran in delivering oil via alternative routes.

It's not a win until it effing happens. Talk is cheap.

ADM Cooper, CENTCOM commander, has confirmed this morning in Senate testimony that public reporting of Iran retaining 70% of its missile stocks is NOT accurate.

- Aircraft losses were minimal, even smaller than during the first Gulf War.
- Stockpiles are being replenished with huge investments and production capacity expansion in the most critical munitions portfolio.
- Iran inflicted $5B in base infrastructure damage which is pennies for the US. Of the 200+ successful strikes on US bases, more than half of those were on evacuated bases in Kuwait and Bahrain and Iranian fires had almost no effect on US or Israeli operational tempo.
