To be honest, what US is doing now is no different than what US has been doing for many decades

The fact that countries will soon be paying to get through Hormuz with the Yuan shows that Iran is thinking far ahead and with BRICS in mind (and as a strategy with China). There is definitely long game planning in the minds of China and Russia. China's policy is not to be an aggressor but to deal in trade and to preserve the vision of the Belt and Road plans in the Middle East. I also think Iran knows that at this time, they have the upperhand. It would be naive to assume they are not getting intel from their allies. They will call on their allies if and when that help is needed. At this time, Iran has their sanctions lifted, Russia has sanctions lifted, India is getting through the Strait and China does not yet have to worry about the oil situation. I believe BRICS is waiting for US and Israel to self-destruct.

I don't think Russia and China are showing weakness but restraint, same as Iran, no one in our planet needs escalation and going into nuclear war. And the real aggressors are acting bloody crazy, we can see it every single day

Bullshit. China has denounced what is happening in Iran numerous times, condemning US/Israel attacks. So has Russia. Does this guy want them to go to war and escalate things? I’m happy they don’t, that’s the kind of childish behavior the US does: join a war to ‘save the world’…
