      With regards to Iran, probably because we just went through an almost two week war of sorts, where Iran got almost zero support from it’s foreign partners, including China. The USA was shooting down ballistic missiles and drones that were attacking Israel using US air defence systems and fighter jets, and then intervened in the conflict offensively with capabilities that only the USA has. Not to mention all the aircraft, and a sizable amount of munitions used by Israel were US made. What did China or Russia do for Iran by comparison? Did they try shoot down incoming Israeli munitions? Did they operate their own air defence systems in Iran? Did they supply Iran with any offensive weapons/munitions? Where were the Su-35s, J-10s and S-400s or HQ-9s that every pro Iran social media grifter was talking about?

      Half of us expect China to be the world’s savior and are mad as hell they’re not trying to be. The other half will bend over backwards to frame everything China does in a good light and make excuses for bad geopolitical decisions.

      This is hexbearian dialectics.
