China

The world can move on without the United States.

100 years ago, the British Empire dominated global commerce, commanding more than 20% of the world’s wealth. Many believed its sun would never set.

200 years ago, France bestrode Europe’s stage, its armies feared, its culture envied. Napoleon declared himself immortal.

400 years ago, the Spanish crown reigned from Manila to Mexico, its treasure fleets groaning with silver and silk. The kings thought their glory would last eternal.

Each empire proclaimed itself indispensable. Each was ultimately eclipsed.

Power wanes, influence migrates, and legitimacy dies the moment it’s assumed rather than earned. Should America forfeit the world’s respect, it will discover what every fallen empire learned too late:

The world moves on. Always.

JUST IN: Multiple Boeing 747s were tracked flying from China to Iran over the past week, raising concerns that China may be helping Iran move cargo or personnel amid Israeli strikes on nuclear sites.

FlightRadar24 showed at least five such flights since June 14.

According to The Telegraph, the planes followed a route through Central Asia and vanished from radar near Iran.

Though listed as bound for Luxembourg, they never entered European airspace.

🚨🇨🇳 CHINA THREATENS U.S. WITH GLOBAL BLOWBACK IF IT BACKS ISRAEL

A top Chinese Communist Party official warned that if the U.S. or its allies jump into the war on Israel’s side, they won’t be the only ones showing up armed.

He called the conflict against Iran an "unjustified and undeclared act of aggression" and argued Tehran has every legal right to fire back.

The most eyebrow-raising part?

“Other major countries want to fight together with Iran.”

Not exactly subtle.

Beijing may not be launching missiles, but it’s clearly lighting rhetorical ones.

BREAKING: Chinese Foreign Ministry:

Persian Gulf and its surrounding waters are vital channels for international goods and energy trade.

Safeguarding security and stability in the region serves the common interests of the international community.

China calls on the international community to intensify efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent regional instability from having a greater impact on global economic development.

Q: Why doesn't China help Iran against Israel?

A: Unlike the US loudly showcasing its support for Israel, China prefers a lower-key style - less talk, more action. China is assisting Iran in many IMPORTANT ways:
1 - China purchased over ninety percent of Iranian oil exports indirectly funding the Iranian military.
2 - Iranian missiles and drones that are now devastating Israel is possible only because of: Chinese machinery, Chinese guidance systems and semiconductors; the hypersonic missiles are made with high grade steel provided by China; the fuel for those missiles also come from China; the drones and missiles are guided to its target by China’s Beidou satellite.
3 - China had cut off the export of rare earth materials to the United States - in a protracted war, the American military will ground to a halt. Currently less than half of the American Navy and its F35 is operational.
4 - In a war, China (and Russia) will supply Iran thru the Eurasian land mass. It will also stop the export of critical machinery, parts, metal, fuel additive to the United States that is designed to not only grind the American economy to a halt but also its ability to manufacture weapons of war.

In short, China's role will be pivotal in the outcome of Iran's potential war with the US.

For those who criticize China, don't let Iran lose one of its few friends.

Iran's defense minister arrives in China for the SCO meeting.

I have heard from salesman who frequently travels to Iran; They say that Iran as a country has great purchasing power, in gold and natural resources.

But are incredibly stingy and picky. For their own sake, after this war with Israel and the US, they may come to their senses and start building a proper air force.
