I will not be listening to the crazed guy, TSF just started WWIII, I don't think China and Russia will stand idle...
The Russia whose tanks have been devastated by much smaller Ukraine? The Russia whose air force has been decimated and is forced to operate against Ukraine from well within Russian territory? The Russia whose Black Sea Fleet is reduced to patrol boats and using assault ships to carry cargo? The Russia whose SAM forces are so depleted that Ukraine's air force is attacking with increasing boldness and cannot replace their own losses, let alone replace Iran's almost wiped out SAM forces?
China ... has
wcmagumba ever looked at a map? Noticed how huge and relatively barren western China is? Noticed that the people living in that area are not especially in love with Han Chinese oppressors?
Several decades of less than strong -sometimes much worse - US policy/action let Iran impose of the world, Israel, and the US a choice between possibly very bad and all-but-certainly horrific. Israel and Trump made that choice, the less awful.

The Atlantic: 🚨 American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran . . .
Ummmmmm ... how exactly is destroying Iran's ability to nuke Israel "War With Iran"
(like Iran hasn't been making war against the US since 1979!) and a threat to "American Democracy"? Between Israel and Trump's B-2 attacks, Iran's war-making capability has been reduced to rubble, to a degree that the Mullahcracy may not be able to control its own people.
