Iran and China had very close relations since Parthian dynasty in Iran and the Han dynasty in China. Iran guaranteed the western end of the Silk Road and provided a safe land route to the European and Mediterranean market and China’s manufacturing provided the basis of a very lucrative trade route from which all benefited. This relationship only collapsed in recent history when West European countries discovered shipping routes that precluded the land route. Recent relations between Iran and China seek to renew this ancient relationship.

All the mobile war games are the same. Freemium that plays on people's nature to compete and then buy all the resources packs to dominate other players. One of the original games that started this genre was Game Of War: Fire Age. In development, MachineZone had a team of psychologists that they consulted to create the game and make it extremely addicting. You see a lot of casino elements in these types of games. Definitely not good if you have an addictive personality. I actually made rent through college running 40 farm accounts in that game and selling resources to the players who would pay a ton of money to get an advantage (whales) so it worked out for me but I saw how addicted these people were.

yes Iran and China had very close relations since Parthian dynasty in Iran and the Han dynasty in China. Iran guaranteed the western end of the Silk Road and provided a safe land route to the European and Mediterranean market and China’s manufacturing provided the basis of a very lucrative trade route from which all benefited. This relationship only collapsed in recent history when West European countries discovered shipping routes that precluded the land route. Recent relations between Iran and China seek to renew this ancient relationship.

These are *regional* powers with overlaping perceived spheres of influence. They are each waiting for the one to face plant to move into each other's backyards. They might be cooperating militarily but China and Iran are already deciding on how to take over Russia's sphere's in Central Asia and Caucuses before someone else like Turkey, India, or the USA moves into some of the countries in those areas. Another problem is that China is on the verge of being a global power, rather than just a regional one. They should be the clear leader of a coalition.

Not at all, those are the means by which the rulling class sells to workers that they need to fight other workers in a distant land. War is always about economics. US oil industry benefits a lot of all its wars, not because the lazy analysis of them being robbing oil, is not about that, US has plenty of oil and gas in its own land, but markets are about controlling the prices and by waging war, destroying potential competitors and making countries abide by US rules is the way they control it, selling always high even though the world has plenty to give. How much oil US robbed in Ukraine Russia war? Basically none, but sanctioning an entire and big oil and gas manufactorer that is Russia and selling to all its in need customers already made US oil and gas sector huge gains. The same strategy was used with The Fruit Company, and you cant forgot that US was rich, but after ww2 and their contracts to repair europe, the US construction sector gained huge amounts of money. So there is no such thing as morals and "fears" its the interest of the few at the expense of the many, nothing new.

[@ivanlaplante]

22:27 This is a bit niche, but a fact supporting that thesis is that during the very first 24 hours of the full scale invasion, the Chinese Ambassy of Ukraine (if i'm not wrong) advised its citizens to either stay at home instead of evacuating, or proudly display their chinese flag on their car, as if it would grant them some special form of protection. Their advice was taken down and scraped off their intranet within like 2 or 3 days before they advised to the contrary.

[@ivanlaplante]

Also the bias of state censors on their intranet in the very first 24 hours pointed strongly toward almost arrogant certainty of Ukraine's fast demise. Anti-war publications were taken down within hours while radical ultra-pro-war publications were kept online for days while literally trending.

[@michaelthomas5433]

Of course China knew. Chinese concerns were the reason for the delay of the invasion of Ukraine - to Russia's detriment. So there is one reason this "axis" is flawed from the start.

[@isunlloaoll]

​@Ivan Laplante Not just the first 24 hours of invasion. The staunchly pro Russian stance and censorship of anti war pro ukraine sentiment continued until the successful counter offensive of Kharkiv. Then over night, a few pro ukraine contents started to pop up if you search for it. Even today, pro Russian/ anti west anti NATO narratives get front page trending status while pro ukraine content are just barely allowed. You still have to self censored to a high extent avoid getting banned or worse.

If you think about the original Axis it was vary much an alliance of convenience. The NATO alliance was build on years of shared conflicts and struggles.

Now you are seeing these countries needing some sort of support as they are being sanctioned and strategically threatened by the US.

I think that many Americans in fact see the NATO alliance as inconvenient at the moment which would explain the massive popularity of Trumps attacks on US permanence on NATO. Feels to me that a lot of people, Europe included as per Macrons speeches on the subject, are finding very convenient to continue its economic alignment with China even if in detriment of the US. From my perspective, someone in the global south, I don't see the US and NATO as the good guys nor China.

Even if Russia and China stopped existing, the US and Europe would still be allies- at least for a while- just because they've become so close. As well, the US really doesn't want to take over Europe, and Europe can't/wouldn't want to take over America, so even if tensions exist or would exist without common foes, it would be a long time before any serious conflicts came up.
