China is the biggest enabler of Iran’s ability to sustain itself through global financial markets. The Economic D-Day sanctions against Iran, and those who do business with Tehran, are impactful if they are enforced. https://t.co/FStMgqhT4e 25.8K views · 230 likes · 61 reposts · 48 replies Open on X →

@AmbJohnBolton Xi will tell Dear Leader to pound sand, and China will do any damn thing it wants, and there’s nothing the orange corrupt dumpster fire-in-chief is gonna do about it. 137 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@AmbJohnBolton Bolton is right about the laundering, but the timing is the real tell. Xi gets his photo-op in Washington while Beijing keeps funding both Tehran and Moscow. Trump will smile, sign a meaningless trade pledge, and call it a win. 108 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

China is not only a purchaser of Iranian oil, but also a partner in laundering Iranian financial assets through Beijing’s opaque financial system. Xi Jinping is scheduled for a visit to Washington in a few weeks, I don’t foresee Trump turning up the pressure on China before this

Why did CIA director John Ratcliffe fly to Moscow last week? It may be that Ratcliffe’s trip was merely a Trumpian gesture, a misdirection play to consume the media in speculation. If true, he has succeeded! https://t.co/MRsJESm1Lc 22.1K views · 281 likes · 63 reposts · 24 replies Open on X →

The blockade of Iranian oil is an enormous win for the United States. This will have a huge impact on Iran’s economy, and we must keep it in place. Everything else is icing on the cake. https://t.co/LUVR6ScyyP
