Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I wasn't sure where this Israel, Iran and China debacle should go, so I thought I would start a new thread and post it here: Interesting article disusing Israel's actions in trying to destabilize Iran and how it monumentally backfired and brought China into the Middle East... it's kind of crazy "To the extent that Netanyahu played a role here, his plot has backfired monumentally. If the China deal goes through, Iran is much strengthened and its hard liners are entirely unleashed. The positioning of Chinese security forces in Iran will make it increasingly risky for other countries such as Israel or the US to strike Iran, lest they come into conflict with nuclear-armed China."

His finger prints are all over that whole situation. You don't need to look any further than Huawei to realize that China has been in the back door of Iran since the Nuclear Deal was signed, which neither Iran nor China were going to honor. China realizes that the rest of the world doesn't have the stomach to do what needs to be done, which is a full scale embargo on everything coming out China until they start to play nice.

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 2 hours ago, pigseye said: Both of course. Well- Trump cancelling of the Iran Nuclear deal and then bullying all other nations to embargo Iran, painting them into a corner to accept China's help- so yeah he was the catalyst for that. Bibi annexing parts of the West Bank? It's not trumps doing, it more like- there is very little to indicate any type of backlash or consequences from the trump administration from taking those criminal steps. Not his fault- but his presidency emboldens Bibi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I watched this 2 part documentary last night on how China is implementing and executing their expansion into neighbouring countries, it's quite insidious. I'm curious to know more about their projects in the oil sands and whether they have basically employed the same tactics within Canada already.

blue_gold_84 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/belarusian-opposition-leader-flees-1.5681664 Quote Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanouskaya says she fled to Lithuania for the sake of her children, after two nights of clashes following the contested re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko. Tikhanouskaya, a 37-year-old former English teacher, emerged from obscurity to mount the biggest challenge in years to Lukashenko, taking her husband's place in the campaign after he was jailed.
