I'm going to follow up on this tomorrow cause its 11:45 here in DC but I want to drop a few things...
  1. China has begun cutting off Russia Chinese banks under CCP direction are avoiding Russia now because of the SWIFT sanctions which you mention. That's why they went to North Korea I mean lets be honest does Noeth Korea scream the best military weapons? No they are very outdated.
  2. Of course Iran and Russian weapons will improve so will Noeth Korea it would be wild if they didn't I mean literally in battle you learn what works or not. Its why so many small to midsize Western military companies give Ukraine their weapons/tech because bam it works. Look at AeroVironment if you want a publically traded company and the VAMPIRE System if you want a DARPA project.
  3. Neither Russia nor Iran have a functional economy and Russian sources that are huge on X and Russian Media have said now they cannot afford for the war to end because the economy is so messed up. Look at the price of butter and the fact they have to put freaking basic security chips in butter to prevent theifs
  4. Iran and NK might be up now but what in 6 months? Russia is running out of reserves located in their country and the 100 of billions they have in the West well has been going to Ukraine now.
  5. Look up the Chinese/BYD EV graveyards. China has pumped up BYD but they mothballs them immediately.
  6. China and Russia face a population cliff and history has shown when this happens leaders try to make the last hurrah moment which we are seeing with Russia.
  7. BRICS isn't going to work. Do you really think those countries can come to an agreement on whose in control and gets to set the pegs? No that's just a stupid idea and its why it has never worked before and a single country and currency reign supreme. At the end of the day what backs the USD is pure military might and China isn't in the ballpark. Lets not forget the purge they didn't earlier this year when they found out a bunch of their missiles in silos were filled with water and not fuel because the soldiers used the fuel to cook food.
  8. The US is by far leading energy innovation we did sodium nuclear reactors which China claims is brand new in the 1950’s. Energy innovation look at heat pumps and Fervo Energy. That's innovation China isn't in the ballpark. Nor does China have a clue about sustainable aviation fuel which US and other Western companies have produced for years.

1- selectively yes to maintain appearances but at the same time using Hong Kong banks to route funds into the USD SWIFT system on behalf of Iran and Russia. 2-Yes and so the Chinese Axis are testing their capability up against those of the west- this is only the beginning of WW3. 3-Iran and Russia do still have economies capable of supporting major military operations against the west. Their citizens might not all be living well but that is beside the point- both Iran and Russia are effective military proxies for China and its challenge to the US western imperialism. 4-Russia and China have just opened a second massive pipeline via which Russia can pump more black gold into the veins of China. Sure the sales are at a discount to global prices but Russia still has a steady flow of income all the same...and Chinas economy gets discounted fuel. 5-BYD can produce batteries equivalent to Teslas but at half the price. Without Trumps Tariffs Musks Tesla is facing disaster. In the long term Chinas dominance over EVs, batteries, PVs, and other energy efficiency technology and manufacturing is overwhelming since this was made a priority in the early 2000s. The US economy remains hugely bloated, inefficient and dependent upon ruinous fracking. 6- Chinas economy is moving up the scale of development from crude manufacturing to higher and higher value added technology such as the EVs, robotics, aerospace, nanotech, biotech and energy related areas such as solar, batteries, nuclear, wind and hydro. 7- BRICS Pay will adopt the Chinese CBDC eYuan as its base protocol. It is a long game shifting payments from the legacy USD SWIFT banking system and traditional allies of the US will stay on the old analogue SWIFT protocol a while longer but the truth is all nations gain by trading with China where very few actually gain from trade with USA. China has won the trade war- it offers commodities producers and buyers of manufactured goods a better deal- pure and simple. 8-See 5 above. In summary the US is obese bloated and hugely inefficient in its use of energy.
