Putin will encourage Iran to stay strong because he needs oil prices high to survive, but Russia is weak and can do nothing to help Iran, so Xi calls the shots, not Putin.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/business/china-economy-iran-war.html
>>5340177832 more weeks, right?
>>534017783That would be a strategic mistake on their part and the article reads like a cope by American strategists. China posted higher exports than before and they have a line through land routes they can start importing oil through.
>>534017783Russia is right now not only getting pushed back in Ukraine, but also slaughtered wholesale in Mali. They can't even decide their own fate anymore, much less that of Iran.As for China, their manufacturing industry is in decline for months now.Natural result of becoming richer and shifting to a service economy. That's why they're practically begging their own people to buy more shit, which will inevitably lead to Chinese people being transformed into consumer cattle like Americans.It's almost comical how closely China follows our blueprints.
>>534017839Tanks when?Actually, how is Philippines own little war going on?
>>534017783>cracks in the economyAnother way might be to say chinks in the armor.
>>534017931>China posted higher exports than beforeSpikes in exports are caused by collapsing internal demand, which is exactly what the article says is happening.>they have a line through land routes they can start importing oil throughLmao, look at a map retard. All of China's population is in the East and its 5000 miles to Iran through some of the roughest terrain on earth.
>>534017931>they have a line through land routes they can start importing oil through.Do you think pipelines are built overnight? From Iran through Turkmenistan through Russia or India to China...that's a few billions in investment and at least 10 years of construction for a new pipeline. Look at the PoS 2 pipe that is super short in comparison and only runs through Russia. Even that one took 5 years of planning and building and it's not even closed to finished yet.
>>534017783>believing something about Iran and China written in the NYTimessad to be this stupid, but here you are
>>534017783That guy (Keith Bradsher) has been writing that China's economy is failing since like 2010.
>>534018017>Spikes in exports are caused by collapsing internal demand, which is exactly what the article says is happening.2 more weeks?>Lmao, look at a map retard. All of China's population is in the East and its 5000 miles to Iran through some of the roughest terrain on earth.Oil is a commodity, China can buy the same oil as the US does on the market.Speaking of which, guess which country consumes the most oil by a wide margin.who's the retard now?

>>534017931>the article reads like a cope by AmericanI know right. Iran is a warrior nation who with the experience of sanctions can survive without ezports or imports ndefinitely. China is so based that all they have to do is nothing and the win. Its obvious
>>534018428You're coping so hard kek. China is the world's largest oil importer by far lmao. And the USA is the world's largest producer by far. Cope wumao.
Big trouble in little Chinahttps://executiveconcern.substack.com/p/celestial-empire
>>534018639>the chinese want total control of the worldsorry mate you're a retarded nigger i stopped reading there
>>534018509do you know what a commodity is?2 more weeks! The trade surplus will collapse any day now.
>>534018494Shrug not my problem. Just facts.
The chinese want to win by spitting in Americans laundry they always KWAB out because they are a paper tiger Iran would do best to partner with USA and we ditch Europe/China for the Middle east Xi would start sobbing on camera
>>534018063>Do you think pipelines are built overnightFaster than the strait will be reopened. Xi has about 3-4 million slaves in chains at his disposal to build that pipeline. Iran will only say yes and mobilize their own slave army to build it. Russia can provide technological support.America lost this.
>>534018912>Iran would do best to partner with USA and we ditch Europe/China for the Middle eastIran did that under the Shah and all it did, was prevent the Iranian state from enacting reforms that caused the Revolution in the first place. Iranians don't want war with Russia and that's all a US-Iran alliance would do.
>>534018929nopepatriots in controlChina will be KWABOTY
>the US is a net exporter of oil btw
>>534017783/k/opers who can't bother with a basic history lesson Britains BP Oil and Russia's Gazprom became juggernauts by exploiting a weak Iran, this is just PR by saying Iran was on Russias "team" as if anyone likes jews or can't be indifferent to either "team"
>>534018993patriots in control of what? I don't get it
>>534017783Lmao. The level report of your strategic reserves tomorrow is really making you nervous.
>>534018713>no, please don't be straight forward, must save face cause muh precious china says so>adad hominem cope 101
>>5340177832 weeks
>>534017783China should just buy oil from us :)
>>534017783>Jew York Times2 more weeks migger-sisters, trust the plan!
>>534018010
wumaos seething
>>534017783Xi won't tell them to cuck #1 this is draining the shit out of the US military. #2 if iran holds out that means iran, china's ally and probably sort of vassals. Controls the chokepoint for most middle east oil.
