First, Israel is thrilled to see Gulf states annihilated or diminished.

One of Jiang’s point is extreme vulnerability to desalination for survival of these states, extra problematic if Straits are closed to shipping (link may be even better video than OP). These states are fully aware of Israel’s lack of love for them, and how Trump $400m Jets and $T of US investment promises have not resulted in US protection of them.

The trap is to join war on Zionazi side. The solution is to beg or shame China to impose a ceasefire on Zionazis, because the US only listens to daddy Bibi.

In between steps can be stronger criticism of US/Israel than Iran, and goading them into protecting shipping to China to the last sacrificial sailor.

    This guy is blowing up on YouTube or something. I specifically avoid politics when I’m home on my PC so my algorithm should in no way be aiming at this content and yet I just found this guy yesterday as one of the top 5 videos on the “front page”

    The USA has never won a unilateral war. The only wars they have won were the ones where they had a strong coalition of allies. And Israel isn’t strong or a coalition, as it’s basically the same country.

    Based on how the confederacy became the GOP and inflicted the 2 party system, I’d say they also lost their civil war.

    Not to mention Iran is notoriously difficult to “conquer”, historically, theologically, geologically and militarily. It’s the perfect honey trap to get an overly aggressive and incompetent fascist regime stuck and bleed out.
