China pissed off the US when they chose Iran to solve their oil problems over a decade ago. Remember when we were all focused on "Where will all the oil come from because China is facing shortages." Before then, China was our "friend" then suddenly we were at risk of losing our "superpower status" to them.

Russia pissed off the US when they started selling natural gas to Germany. We had just finished spooling up a fleet of LNG ships after discovering a goldmine of unlimited natural gas in continental America. It took us a o er decade to build the ports and ships, and Russia just lays down a pipeline in the Baltic sea over a couple yeats where nobody could stop them.

Ever since we have been agitating Ukraine and Israel to attack Russia and Iran on our behalf by giving them munitions. Israel is our nuclear insurance in the region: Destroy Iran, China falls. Any NATO power sides with Russia in a nuclear conflict: Israel balances the equation.

The rules between Nuclear powers are: Do Not Attack Us Or We Will Nuke You.

Of course Iran having a Nuke breaks this balanced low-intensity conflict, because they are an anti-zionist theocracy. Just one nuke detonated over Tel-Aviv the EMP alone brings Israel to its knees.

So what does this mean for Iran today? It means we destroy their nuclear program, destroy their oil fields in the process. Then we pull the choke-chain on Israel, and the low-intensity conflict continues with China crippled and with Ukraine is settled, Russia is once again considered "evil" by all of Europe, and Germany is dependent on US LNG.

What am I missing?
