🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇳 The US War on Iran is a US War on China

▪️US planners likely realized as a result of attrition in its proxy war on Russia and considering the outcome of ongoing war with Iran in the Middle East, that even a "distant blockade" in the Asia-Pacific against China was unlikely to succeed;

▪️Degrading or toppling Iran was already a prerequisite to further isolating Russia and then China, thus attacking Iran and shutting down energy exports from the entire region, no matter the cost, has effectively implemented the "distant blockade" on China at the very source of most of China's energy imports;

▪️At the same time, the US continues expanding its international blockade against the so-called "shadow fleet" through maritime drone strikes attributed to "Ukraine" and the interdiction and seizure of vessels by US proxies and in the case of Venezuela, by the US itself.

This can be expanded to target ALL Russian and Chinese maritime shipping - not just energy shipments;

▪️Note that the US invaded and captured Venezuela, halting energy exports to China in the lead up to this second war of aggression targeting the majority of China's remaining energy imports from the Middle East.

▪️The US CIA continues carrying out long-range drone strikes into Russia targeting energy production specifically to degrade both Russia's own economy and its ability to export significant amounts of energy to China.

These operations will only continue to increase in scale and scope with likely operations moving to target pipelines into China directly;

▪️The US is also carrying out terrorist strikes on China's Belt and Road Initiative, particularly in Pakistan and Myanmar, specifically striking at alternative routes for energy used to bypass a potential Asia-Pacific blockade.

These type of attacks can be organized and directed at whatever infrastructure China attempts to use next to mitigate the US-imposed shortages China now faces.

This is a systematic global war to strangle China;

▪️China has prepared for this for years - building out a massive 100+ day reserve and scaling out renewables, nuclear power, and coal-to-liquid energy production domestically.

It will still likely take years to replace dependency on the Middle East - about 5 years - a closing window the US knew was closing - prompting this reckless war of aggression now taking place;

▪️The US has also built-up and armed proxies in the Asia-Pacific region including Japan, the Philippines, and the island province of Taiwan - not to "beat" China - but to use long-range missiles/drones to strike and degrade domestic efforts to circumvent the US-imposed blockade - such as striking refineries, data centers, energy infrastructure, etc. just as the US uses "Ukraine" to do so against Russia - all while avoiding a direct confrontation with China itself;

▪️The US believes that rapid "initiative" can overcome the growing number of disadvantages the US has created for itself and faces due to China's rapid rise (like modernization, and surpassing of the US in terms of industry, military, and technology).

It hopes that is willingness to indulge in globally-destabilizing war of aggression is greater than China and the rest of the multipolar world's ability to unite and meaningfully fight back.

The US also believe that the wars it has ignited across the planet will primarily destabilize Eurasia leaving North America - just like during WW2 - relatively insulated.

So far that has been true. While Americans are suffering, the corporations driving these policies are still thriving.
