⚡Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee on Trump:

Of course, we will maintain our brotherhood and friendship with Saudi Arabia, with the Emirates, with Bahrain, with Qatar, with Türkiye, with Iraq.

But not a single one of your bases in these countries will be safe.

We recommend you go back. Don't come any further forward than this.

If we start moving, we won't have discussions about ceasefires and such things anymore.

Energy problems in Ukraine have worsened, particularly in Kiev and Odessa.

Which is why they are installing their lackeys everywhere and fine-tuning policies. Just recently, Kenya had to suspend signing a trade deal with China, which will remove tariffs on their goods due to US pressure. Meanwhile, the same US is yet to renew the grace period it had with Kenya after AGOA ended. And there is Cambodia which is labelled a China satellite state befriending the US and aims to reduce investments on China. Yes, the non-political interference is actually a plus on China's side, but for allies, those with important resources and geographical neighbours, things might have to change.

Ruto has defended the rapprochement with China against criticism from some U.S. officials, saying Kenya has to export more goods to the Asian economy to close a trade gap heavily tilted in Beijing's favour.

This This is big, Canada is giving up on the U.S gradually. All thanks to Trump's hostile policies towards America allies. May be Xi's pacifism and gentle approach will pay in the end and attract America's allies.

Apparently, this is not so much as acquiescing to China and its leadership efforts at heralding a "new world order" as it is to spite Trump and his MAGA sycophants!
The moment Trump gets out of office, either via impeachment or tenure-expiration and the new US leadership decides to reset ties with her most important neighbour and ally, trust me this same politician wouldn't hesitate to label same China as the leader of the "Axis of Evil whose only stated objective is flouting and thrashing the rules-based order that has been in place since before the foundations of the earth were formed!"
Trust a politician and you are a confirmed delulu!

Thank you o!

I don't trust Western politicians in their approach towards China, including the likes of Spain and even Hungary. Na because of poor economy and Trump's unfriendly attitude, which makes some try to mend ties with China. A Western country - Italy - has been reported to be preventing a Chinese company from obtaining contract approval, not because it is not qualified, but because of pressure from the US. They
are even making moves to cut off the Chinese investors in some of their (Italian) companies.

During David Cameron's tenure, his Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne called for a bromance with the Chinese, but as China's economy grew and the level of sophisticated goods increased, they changed tune. The likes of New Zealand and Australia are just smiling because of economic benefits; they will antagonise China so badly. Australia was puffing up during COVID until the Chinese barred its agricultural products, then the new guy relaxed.

The same Canada orchestrated the arrest of the daughter of the CEO of Huawei (a Chinese corporate icon), a company the US literally wanted to kill off, but thankfully it survived and has gotten stronger and bigger. I want to believe the Chinese aren't fazed by this bromance. Na condition make them bend, not because they suddenly like the Chinese.

Honestly, there is nothing as sweet as being financially independent and strong. Kudos to the Chinese for their feat!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wailings all over the thread, one said Netanyahu is angry the US didn't strike Iran another said it was the same Netanyahu who pressured Trump from striking Iran!
😂😂😂😂😂

If Iran is very formidable and needs to test herself with the biggest in the business, why wait for the US and the Jews to strike you first?? Since Iran is so confident in her military capabilities why not take the bull by the horn and fire a volley of ballistic missiles into US bases in the region??

After weeks of running amok in the thread like headless chickens prophesying war..clowns are now consoling themselves..😑😂😂

P s Iran "won" the 12D war, she should fire on the Jews and also win the next war too, who gets tired of winning??
