Iran has attacked hotels in the ME claiming they are housing US military personnel.
China missile defense having taken a beating are providing Iran with real time intelligence via their satellites.
Iran is also using Chinese GPS system for their missiles. It's said they were able hit this $1.2 billion radar dome in Qatar with help from China

Kind of what America does in Ukraine. US Boeing P-8A Poseidon operating outside of Ukraine conveys to Ukraine forces the precise locations of Russia. Putin can do nothing about this

There is a possibility the conflict could escalate if in an extreme act, America decided that China is direct combatant.

It's used for ballistic missile detection, so it's a sitting duck for drones.

What makes you think I need to tell you anything about me?

What even makes you think you are relevant?

bayelsaowei:
What a pity.

This is the same Matt Walsh who is fully aware Iran has been at war with the US for decades.

nateevs:
Iran has not been at war with the US for decades. You are a liar!

America is a shitshow.
We are a deeply unserious country right now.

"Wife" is now a qualification to chair the UN Security Council.

Unfortunately, the state department has been gutted by fake DOGE reviews. There are no actual people to organise immediate evacuation of Americans.

The state department is advising its citizens to leave immediately via commercial transport.

MAGA on MAGA violence.

IjeBos:
Imagine that this is the US of A.
The president started a war of choice and didn't even think about all the citizens living in the Middle East.
I guess competence does matter.
