When your country believes it has a divine right to dictate to others how to manage their resources don't be surprised when you get push back.
It does. USA/ROC dictating the course of human history is okay because we're the good guys. USSR/PRC is bad because you're evil. There's no hypocrisy. It's just that you're wrong and I'm right.
At least Trump has made that blatant hypocrisy explicit for all the world to see.
Oh no, Maduro and Macron think the US is bad oh nooo. Don't care!
Suez-Hormuz
Take a look at a map of Earth. Notice how the USA is bigger than the UK? By a lot? Not the same situation.
You have run out of Interceptors and China is not selling you anymore refined rare earths.
China won the trade war and now USA is humiliated because it cannot control the Strait of Hormuz.
Suez - Hormuz - end of the petrodollar empire.
Deal with it.
Clearly, we haven't run out because they still keep getting launched, lmao. I mean, God, you have your head so far up your ass it is embarrassing for Humanity. You have been screaming we are running out since a couple of weeks in yet we see them launched during the Iranian attacks time and time again.
You need to deal with just being plain wrong and so disconnected from reality you should stay quiet. Your loony, consistently wrong claims are going to cause people to read your wrong brain damage as their neurons kill themselves rather than fire the signals for people to process the truly stupid shit you say.
You might like to learn how to engage in reasoned debate where you address the facts and issues rather than attacking the messenger.
China is not supplying you with anymore refined rare earths.
You may not have run out of Interceptors but you are running low- this is according to credible sources- more credible than Trumps endless lies and hyperbole.
China won the trade war and so USA responds by invading Chinas energy suppliers kidnapping and assassinating their leaders while supporting the Zionists Greater Israel land grabbing genocide and war crimes.
These are the facts that hurling insults does not expunge.
Of course people tend to hurl insults when they are incapable of a fact based reasoned retort...

Have you ever thought that your pointless repeating of the same thing over and over is annoying AF? That you are an ass 99% of the time when I try to talk with you, and you just ignore countless sources that show you to be flat-out wrong?
We have had every single news outlet since April say we were either out or going to be out in a week to 10 days. That was 6-9 weeks ago, and guess what? We still have them, so yeah, that point is the funniest thing, and there is a reason why people stopped saying it.
Its like you cannot imagine that someone whose job it is to know about this stuff and help craft legislation could have a clue on this. I do, and it's annoying AF for you to try to tell me "the news and China say blah blah blah," but the data and the matter of fact are the opposite. You fail over and over again to actually come to your own conclusions; you spam-post the same thing all the time. It's just wild for you to think you have any sort of high ground to talk about reasoned debate when you fail to accept anything and love to hear yourself speak.
The truth is annoying only to those who dare not face it.
But denying the truth is of course far more dangerous than facing it.
You are a traitor to your own cause by seeking to promote a view of events that is twisted deception and actually endangers all in the west.
If you have superior knowledge and facts then provide them instead of attacking me, the messenger...
It says a lot that you cannot.
Again, with you, it's always ignoring anything I say and all the evidence I provide for the same few sentences about the impending doom. Scientific literature, stats from China, Russia, the Middle East you ignore them if they don't fit your delusion because that is exactly what this is.
You are so obsessed and unable to see your own blindness that it is hilarious for you to claim that the issues start with people exactly like you.
I mean, for the love of God, you ignore what my job is because it runs counter to what you think. Anything I say or show you that states otherwise, you flat-out ignore and spam the exact same stuff.
A traitor to my cause? What is my cause that you seem to know so much better than me?
My position is that China experienced the full force of western imperialism from the Opium Wars onward.
China is an ancient, proud and deep culture.
China had been at a low point in its own culture, economy and governance and was vulnerable to the power projection spearheaded by The British Empire.
But over the next 180-odd years China has assimilated and responded to the reality of western imperialism and the technology, military and economy that underpins it.
China has built an economy and society that uses western technology to create wealth and today China dominates the global economy in commodities and manufactured goods.
China must understand that the nature of western imperialism is to dominate and subjugate any challenger and so they must prepare and respond accordingly.
All the wests talk of free trade is exposed as duplicitous sophistry- now that China dominates trade the USA is responding militarily to uphold its tertiary level hegemony of the petrodollar.
This is how I see things and we have choices in how we respond.
Continuing the imperialist hegemony the US holds carries risks because the USA no longer has a stronger economy and its military might is under serious challenge from new asymmetric warfare systems.
The way the west acts will shape how China responds.
Just as Iran is responding with tit for tat, so might China be expected to.
Iran and Russia are after all only capable of challenging US hegemony with Chinas economic and supply chain support.
You (USA) might succeed in subjugating Iran, at least superficially but these are both ancient and deep cultures, and the US is in decline.
USA is acting as a desperate and vicious aggressor demanding all bow to its demands and threats. Continuing this model carries risks...because its bluff will increasingly be called, and this is what is happening.
Managing the decline of an empire is probably more problematic than managing its rise, but just as consequential.
Think and act accordingly.
There's no debate. It's going to be non-stop insults and torture and killing until the PRC dies or the USA dies. Neither of us can be reasoned with. What's to talk about? Communism is unconstitutional.
You have run out of Interceptors
And you're basing this on what? We used a lot, so we must not have many left? This isn't the UK. We don't run out of anything.
We do control the strait. We're charging a toll for the service of bombing Iran, then we can use the toll to buy more bombs. Circular economy. You're welcome.
You're not seeing the long-term vision. We're building a world where US citizens pay no tax and everyone else funds the US military and its infrastructure through tariffs and tolls, because some people are just sheep to be ruled, are they not?
Better to tax the world than let the world tax me. Pay me for pointing a gun at you.
Oh no, Bloomberg said so? Shoot, if the communists say the USA is losing I guess we'd better surrender then.
When your country believes it has a divine right to dictate to others how to manage their resources don't be surprised when you get push back.
Imperialism is externalised autocracy- USA has become a global hypocrisy, preaching one thing and doing another.
The petrodollar is morally bankrupt.
At least Trump has made that blatant hypocrisy explicit for all the world to see.
Empires have an expiry date.
