Seems like China might be rather displeased, especially considering this looks like a prelude to seizing those tankers.

Meanwhile they lifted sanctions on Russian oil despite them actively helping Iran kill US soldiers.

What will sanctions do if they are trading in Yuan and solely deal with China and India?

They keep f****** with China. At some point China decides to proactively do something major trade war themselves against trump. Higher oil prices would be the least of concern when we find out all sorts of things no longer get exported to the US.

And then China will restrict REEs and this Administration will have that dumb look on their face like that gif of the guy with a blue shirt (if anyone can help me there post it).

At what point do we just collectively (in the west) side with Iran and China? I'm fed up of this shit.

You have to understand, for the rest of the civilized world we want all three (plus Russia and North Korea) to fall. Enough of this bullshit.

You sure you want nukes in the hands of multiple warlords and mass migration from all three all at the same time?

trump will be gone in a few years by election or age, the US will slowly return to normal afterwards, there's no one to take up the mantle for the MAGA idiots, it will take a lot of time to undo his damage unfortunately but it will likely be undone in a matter of a decade should we not elect someone as corrupt and idiotic as him again.

This is a de facto declaration of war against China. This will structurally harm China, which requires Iranian crude for 20% of its diesel and asphalt production. If China had a reason to stay on the sidelines before, this is a reason to jump into the fray with both feet.

If all countries grow a pair and strike back on everything made in America with taxes or bans, the American elites will turn on Trump within days.

This is to prevent a war with China. Without oil, China collapses, and we win with zero violence.

China to order a full export ban to the US, to only be lifted by the US ceding control of Middle East waterways to Iran Edit: also welcome to WW3
