The idea of China coming to Iran's defense is very laughable

[OgNasty]

China did try to come to their defense and provided them with weapons and defenses.  They just didn't work.  There is a huge gap between the technology in the American military and everyone else.

This is laughable indeed, because no one is talking about the Epstein file again since the emergency of the Iran-Israel war, however, I'm still much convinced that maybe there is reason coincidence in all this that is happening, but even if there is an iota of truth, who dares confront the strong and challenged them, we all know that for sure you're going to get intimidated, because you are weak and they are the strong.

When people talk about China coming to Iran's defense, I laugh. Iran is not worth that risk. China has over $2 trillion in treasury bond investments inthe United States economy and I don't think they will love to risk all that asset for Iran. All the showdowns we are witnessing currently in Iran are strategic ones.

Trump is using the opportunity to do a live demonstration of America's military might and power to show other global adversaries how dominant the US can be when it comes to massive attacking and defensive build-up. You can call it the act of deal 101. Iran has presented itself as an available entity for Donald Trump's operational arena, and he will capitalize on it without restraint.

China is the strategic audience of the entire showcase, because at the moment, all Beijing can do is to watch:

 How long can the US sustain deployments of a military layer of logistics.
 How fast can the US mass power its defensive artilaries

China is also finding out if alliances hold under pressure and if China itself can operate in multiple theaters of war simultaneously.

America is exercising deterrence by classic demonstration. This is the act of the deal being put into practice.

A very accurate observation. China is not foolish; China is wise and a true geopolitical player, albeit with its own peculiarities, like many others.
Iran, Russia, North Korea, and some others are just China's “guinea pigs,” which it uses to “test” the reactions of other countries and alliances and sometimes to implement its plans.
China is like a snake—it has no friends, only those who obey it, fools whom it skillfully manipulates, or victims.

Note that Iran is part of BRICS, as is China. We of the West don't hear much about BRICS, not because it is weak or not doing business. Rather, it is because the western media is slanted in such a way that they simply don't tell us.

BRICS, being a financial opponent of the western banking systems, is a quasi-military alliance just as the nations of the western banking systems are aligned, somewhat, militarily. While there may not be formal alliances between Iran and China, there are formal between Russia and Iran, and Russia and China.

Russia is training China in military methods that they didn't have. And certainly, Russia isn't giving China everything that they have, just as they aren't giving everything that they have to Iran. But NO nations share their defense methods entirely.

The point is, there most certainly are hidden agreements between China and Iran, that are under the table so to speak. Nobody knows what these agreements are. And the Iran US war happenings aren't to the point where agreements need to be activated. But certainly when the point comes, China and Russia will back Iran.

Politicians in general are like that. For them, you are a tool or an enemy, nothing more, nothing less.

After all, China neither Russia care for what will happen to Iran's tyrants. When people aren't united by true bonds, principles and values that is how they behave. Not that the West can be considered a great example of how to build and keep strong and genuine bonds with allied nations these days too...
