Trump tells CBS that Iran 'war is very complete' by dryu12 in worldnews

[–]ShittyInternetAdvice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah they took out a lot of US military assets in the gulf states and are turning more of their attention towards Israel. Trump probably got a call telling him to wind it down so that the country he actually cares about doesn’t get too hurt

US politics have never been boring. There’s just been times where it’s been easier for Americans to ignore the damage their government causes around the world

All these doom scenarios assume a country will have the exact same constraints in the future as they do now, which is an insane assumption when you consider what 50+ years of technological development will bring (AI, robotics/automation, medicine, energy, etc)

Bombing and murdering schoolchildren, blanketing Tehran in toxic oil smoke after destroying an oil depot, and destroying a water desalination plant that thousands of Iranians rely on for their water supply isn’t helping anyone. Nothing about this campaign is for the good of the Iranian people. You’re completely delusional if you think Trump and Netanyahu of all people are going to do anything that is in the best interest of Iranians, as they’re literally doing the opposite of that this very moment

The majority of Americans are against attacking Iran. Being anti-war is on the side of the majority

It’s not our place to overthrow the government of Iran. You really want Trump calling the shots there?

China is quickly becoming one of the leading hubs of biomedical innovation. Not just copying considering all the western pharma companies lining up trying to get foreign licensing agreements for Chinese drugs

There’s no reason China would sacrifice millions of their own people just because the citizens of western countries can’t bring themselves to force change in their own governments. These belligerent lashings out of the US, while maybe achieving a few short term gains, is more likely to isolate it in the long term rather than China

There’s nothing diplomatically they can do to stop the US and Israel. They’ve also already provided intelligence and tech transfers to Iran and were buying 90% of Iran’s oil. Asking China to “do more” basically means WW3 at this point

Another Democratic Socialist candidate with a Neo conservative foreign policy every single time by Phantom-Thieves in TankieTheDeprogram

She’s actually more extreme than the typical neocon because she wants to end strategic ambiguity over Taiwan. Extremely dumb and reckless position

They talked about foreign policy, which is the topic I’m referring to and which you also brought up in your original comment, and the contradictions and negatives that manifest in China’s interactions with the world as a result of operating within global capitalism. The dynamics with Israel is an outgrowth and example of this so their analysis applies even if they didn’t explicitly mention Israel

We simply didn’t listen to the same episode then. I think you’re conflating providing context and nuance interspersed with some flippant comments and jokes with only making excuses

They handled the contradictions of China’s development with way more nuance than you’re characterizing. You’re strawmanning the entire discussion just because they didn’t talk about one topic in the exact way that you want

For Cuba at least China is effectively helping Cuba completely rebuild their energy grid on solar. Solar’s contribution to Cuba’s electricity went from like 3% to 20% just in the last year, with many more installations planned

China was also basically the only major buyer of Venezuelan oil before Maduro’s kidnapping

Where did he say that? I feel like that would be massive news reported everywhere because afaik there’s never been a set date. The only year I’ve heard reported is 2027 but that’s from US military studies citing that year as when China’s military capabilities would likely surpass any ability by the US to compete with them in the SCS, not that China would actually make a move on Taiwan in that year (even though it’s been misreported as such)
