    From the Article:

    “More Than 5,000 Chinese Troops Will Be Deployed In Iran, And A [Military] Base Will Be Built For Them”


    “In the agreement with Iran regarding the investment project, China has also included a clause for deployment of its troops there; and more than 5,000 Chinese troops will be deployed in Iran, and a [military] base will be built for them. Before this, China has also put its signature on investment projects with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which shows that China is implementing a plan to increase its influence in the Middle East.
    https://www.memri.org/reports/urdu-...ll-be-deployed-iran-and-military-base-will-be

    I guess this is the reason Biden wants to pull troops out of Afghanistan, because it's a much more plausible excuse than his sudden flip-flop on troop withdrawal. And let's get real. He doesn’t want to tax the corporate profits of his friends at Blackwater and Vanguard Group, he only means to distract all of us from his foreign policy and national security disasters. Did any of you know that we were seconds a way from a major war with Russia. In fact, during this standoff, US Strategic Command tweeted in regards to a possible nuclear war with adversaries. In the meantime, China has been probing for weaknesses around Taiwan, and gauging US military response. Russia is literally parking WW2 tanks on the border with Ukraine, because they don't respect you people.

    Despite woke media portrayals in the US and Europe, Biden has essentially been sidelined, mocked or outplayed by every relevant player in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Nobody trusts him, especially given his role in the Obama Administration. Iran won’t even take a meeting, and Turkey would rather discuss their options with Israel and Russia. India, Turkey, Japan, India, Israel and Saudi Arabia are all leaning towards an agreement with Russia over a multiplicity of trade and security issues. These nations have criticized the highhandedness of Biden, and none of them have any interest in the psychopathic and hypocritical narrative about Russian interference in US elections or Trump-Russia conspiracy theories. Democrats literally tried to topple the Israeli, Turkish, and Indian governments. It's a ******n disaster.

    People often asked, "What does Israel do for its allies?" Well. It builds the best ******n drones in the world. Those drones are so good that LockHead Martin has a facility in Israel, and Israel helped the US build a drone that can travel half-way around the world in 45 minutes. The thing would catch on fire cause it was going so fast, and they enabled these drones to stop on a dime to switch directions. Then Israel developed the ability to shoot down those drones with lasers. These things are so advanced that I've been told by a friend working in the industry that they are most likely the same aircrafts shown in those government-released UFO videos. The newest models can catch up to any nuclear missile, and take it out of the sky without detonating the bomb. Russia and China both want Israeli drone technology, because it's a game changer. These things have the ability to fly out into Pacific, drop a bomb, and get out undetected. Does American Naval superiority mean anything at that point? https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/russia-wants-israel-beef-its-military-technology-176803

    I'm OK with China playing 'civilize the barbarians' for a while. Lets colonize mars or something instead.

    Because Chinese-Iranian ties strengthening will prove to be a powerful counterpunch to the US. I find it ironic that it's forming under a Biden, not a Trump administration when we were told that the Trump Administration was the worst ever at everything, including foreign policy.

    Except China is approaching Israel and Iran on equal terms - that's called diplomacy, something sadly lacking under the Trump government.

    What is China up to? A route through to the African continent where it is quietly exploiting their resources

    Do you really think this whole economic package including the base was put together in less than 100 days?

    Even the article says that China is doing this with Iran due to the sanctions from America.

    What Trump proved to the world is that America's word and promise is only good till the next election, then it is a crap shoot.

    While Trump was pulling American back behind his fence he wanted to build, China was filling ever void we left behind.

    China is helping Brazil build railways from their grain producing regions to their ports, ports that China operates. Right now the only advantage American farmers have over places like Brazil is cheap transportation to market, mostly thanks to the Mississippi river.

    Look into China's new silk road project.

    China sees Africa as a new customer base to sell their products to. While when the US thinks of Africa we think of grass huts and primitive people.

    Well say hello to the worlds soon to be super-duper power, and all the chest-thumping and flag waving ain't gonna change it. WE handed off the ball to them YEARS ago and now they have an open field to the goalpost. When the world starts looking to the yuan instead of the dollar that'll be all she wrote.

    No. China made threatens against Israel, demanding they violate their pact with the US. When Israel wouldn't give them their technology, they started courting Iran, the enemy of Israel and the US. They wanted the technology to make the advanced weaponry that they'd need against the US during an invasion of Taiwan. China intended on taking over the South China Sea, and then the shipping lanes through the Suez Canal. China isn't just after resources in Africa. They intend to invade Taiwan, establish control over the South China Sea, and annex or subjugate SE Asia and Korea. An Iranian National basically expresses a reconstitution of the Persian Empire. They've already got routes Africa and South America. They want to take the Suez Canal so they can export to Europe. They want to control trade. They are already punishing countries by embargoing goods from coming into their China, such as timber from Australia. They've already been in multiple firefights with boats.

    Trump put together an anti-Iranian coalition comprising of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Morocco, Turkey, and countries along the Horn of Africa. He also established an anti-China coalition of Australia, India, Japan, etc. He wanted an alliance with Russia given China had hacked the Kremlin, and Russia was already giving arms to China's enemies. But Democrats just couldn't see the picture. Every alliance that Trump created for the States of Israel is still holding, and Biden has been completely sidelined. No one trusts him. Russia and China took immediate military actions a couple months into his Presidency. He has no diplomatic abilities. There's multiple battles on land, sea and air that I bet you haven't even heard about cause you live in this fantasy land where Biden's doing a great job. Our military is telling us to prepare for "nuclear" war. There already

    Of course they didn’t put it together in 100 days. They had been working on it for years. But they waited until corrupt, incompetent, senile Joe was president before they implemented it.

    Why? Because China and Iran knew Trump would do any and everything within his power to slap them around if they did. But they knew the most they would get from Joe is a “Cmon man!”

    China sees Africa as a source of labor, mining materials, and cheap goods for its people. They intend to completely stamp out democracy and human rights in Africa. China is very upfront about their fascist ideals.

    There is nothing that Trump could do about it but send mean tweets, his normal response. Trump drove these two together.

    Sure there is. There’s a thousand things. From sanctions to tariffs and if he really wanted to get shitty he could contract with Taiwan to put a base there.

    But Joe won’t do anything like the cuckolded puppet he is.

    Sanctions and tariffs are what drove the two counties together. They were Trump's only tool ever, it was the only thing he ever did. Sometimes you need a screwdriver and not a sledge hammer.

    Trump sent a drone to kill that Iranian leader that was killing our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Took out the leader and started an Arab Spring that the media ignored. Then Iran called us up to warn our troops that they were firing a missile. Cause they were scared. Everybody on CNN was like, "Damn this dude play too hard."

    No China wants an established presence in the Middle East. Most likely as a strategy for dominating the ME and Africa. Trump didn’t cause that don’t be preposterous.Trump was the reason they hadn’t already done it.

    Yeah ask homeboy in Iran if the only thing Trump can do is tariffs and sanctions if you stepped over the line. Well you could ask him but I think he’s in about 500 pieces.

    So you are suggesting that Trump would have blown up the leaders of Iran and China to stop this from happening?

    LOL! Maybe, just maybe, if the US hadn't played Israel's doormat, keeping up the confrontation with Iran for decades, we'd be the ones building the base there and reaping the economic benefits, instead of China. But, that thinking is probably a bit too far out of the box for the Biden haters.

    BTW: China is playing this very well. It is investing heavily in other country's infrastructure, in particular in Africa, in turn receiving interest payments on these projects for decades to come. In contrast, the Trump vision was to isolate the US from those "shithole" countries, because they are not worthy, and let them fend for themselves. Now, which strategy do you think will work better in the long run?
