>> #China is responding to #IranWar on 2 parallel tracks using the precise language that #US is “addicted to war.”

As part of its 25-yr “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” with #Iran, China successfully derailed the #Arab - #Israeli peace process by brokering a secret #rapprochement between Iran and its mortal enemy #SaudiArabia just 7 months before #Oct7 attacks on #Israel.

#Russia, which is China's #juniorPartner, is helping on a "parallel track"

⬆️ #Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, & successfully executed #electionInterference in US history… #China-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia derailing #ArabIsraeliNormalization just 7 months prior was starting point. #Trump reelection was the result.

On his last full day as President of #US, #Biden said: "After so much pain, destruction, and loss of life, TODAY the guns in #Gaza have gone silent."

#Oct7 was the bloodiest, most exquisitely planned, and successfully executed #electionInterference in #USHistory.

~50,000 died.

The secret Chinese-brokered #rapprochement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia in March 2023 was the starting point.

Oct 7, 2023 was the violent spark.

#Trump's reelection was the end result.

No One Won the War in Gaza

The war Gaza will impact the Middle East for generations—and so would a ceasefire.

⬆️ >> #Hamas decapitated

Both #Russia & #China immediately condemned #Israel's assassination of #Haniyeh [Did they condemn #Hamas #Oct7 attacks?]

A senior Russian diplomat decried it as “an absolutely unacceptable political assassination [that] will lead to further escalation…”

China, who invited #Hamas & #Fatah to broker a deal last week after brokering a #rapprochement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia to derail #Arab-#Israeli peace just 7 months before #Oct7, also echoed Russia re #escalation.
