ATTENTION!

Given the IS-IR conflict, I created SITREPs for those wishing to follow my thinking. I’ll adjust and I won’t always get it right. It is my thinking nonetheless.

Today’s focus: China’s benefits & risks.

Because of this conflict, China’s benefits, are primarily strategic & indirect, rooted in its broader geopolitical & economic interests. 

Below are the specific ways China gains:

1. The conflict weakens U.S. Influence in the Middle East. It diverts U.S. attention and resources from Asia, where China faces pressure over Taiwan and the South China Sea. By keeping the U.S. entangled in Middle Eastern crises, China gains breathing room to pursue its Indo-Pacific regional ambitions with less interference.

2. If there is no regime change in IR, it will strengthen ties with them. China’s close relationship with IR, cemented by a 25-year cooperation agreement beginning in 2021, is bolstered by the conflict. IR, increasingly isolated, relies on China as its primary buyer of sanctioned oil (over 90% of IR’s crude exports go to China). This secures China a discounted energy supply, critical for its economy, while giving Beijing leverage over Tehran. China also benefits by its diplomatic voice while not having to commit military forces (yet).

3. The conflict enhances China’s regional diplomatic clout. China is using the conflict to project itself as a neutral & global peacemaker, contrasting with the U.S.’s perceived bias toward IS. By condemning IS actions & calling for de-escalation, China appeals to Arab states & the Global Asian South, boosting its image as a champion of non-Western interests. Its mediation efforts, like the Saudi-Iran rapprochement in 2023, gain China credibility, potentially expanding their influence deeper into Middle Eastern diplomacy.

4. China will take advantage of economic opportunities because of the instability. Due to the regional instability China benefits by disrupting U.S.-aligned trade routes (e.g., through the Suez Canal or Bab Al-Mandab Strait), increasing reliance on China’s Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) infrastructure. However, China prefers “controlled instability”, as a full-scale war could threaten its Middle Eastern oil imports (nearly half its supply) along with many of its BRI projects.

5. China’s keen observation of all military engagements, particularly missile & drone performance, will help to refine their own defense strategies. IR weapons, often incorporating Chinese components or designs, provide real-world testing data. A prolonged conflict could also weaken IS’s technological edge, reducing its ability to counter Chinese tech investments in the region.

6. By supporting IR, China indirectly backs IR’s proxies (e.g., Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis), which challenge IS & U.S. short & long term interests. This low-cost strategy allows China to pressure Western powers without direct confrontation, aligning with its non-interventionist policy. There are many who correctly suggest China supplies weapons components to IR & its proxies, further amplifying its influence.
 
These benefits are not without significant risks.

A broader regional war will disrupt its energy security & BRI investments, which rely on Middle Eastern stability. Additionally, China’s pro-IR stance strains relations with IS, a key technology partner, potentially limiting access to IS innovation. Beijing’s difficult balancing act—maintaining ties with both IR and IS—requires careful diplomacy to avoid alienating either side. The administration needs to pay close attention here.

Conclusion: China benefits by leveraging the conflict to undermine U.S. dominance, secure cheap oil, enhance its diplomatic stature, & gain military insights, all while maintaining a low-risk, non-interventionist stance. However, these gains depend on the conflict remaining contained, as escalation will jeopardize China’s fragile economy & other geopolitical interests & alliances.

Feedback is important.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

ATTENTION!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

This arrogant A__ has the gall to not mention President Trump s name and then the audacity to call for him to unify the country. The contempt that oozes from his words is disgusting.

This man is in deep trouble and knows it. He should not be sitting on panels, never mind walking the streets as a free man. He is evil personified. John Brennan and the orchestra director Barack Obama and others did so much damage to the country.

This is no longer about who’s in the WH, this is now about holding those who perpetrated the greatest crime against America EVER being held to ACCOUNT!

“Pardon of Innocence” is an inspiring story with a call to action for every American who believes in our constitutional republic.
00:02:05

It's astonishing how many Americans, even some well-meaning patriots, still believe I was convicted of a crime, sent to prison, or was only recently pardoned. Shockingly, millions still think I am guilty.

That's simply not true.

I was never convicted & never spent a single day in prison. In May 2020, the Department of Justice dismissed my case after uncovering their own misconduct.

It's frightening to think the POTUS had to use his pardon power to pardon an innocent man who had never been convicted of a crime.

The truth? A corrupt judge refusal to dismiss my case despite the DOJ dismissing the case. The fake lying corrupt media spent years pushing a false narrative, & many Americans still don't know the real story.

I wrote Pardon of Innocence to set the record straight, expose how deeply our institutions have been weaponized, & sound the alarm about where our country is headed if we don't act. We must ask ourselves: what kind of country are we living in when we politicize our justice system?

...

For over 33 years, I proudly served in the U.S. Army, defending our nation from threats both abroad and at home. However, nothing could have prepared me for the battle I would face in Washington, D.C.

The Deep State launched a full-scale assault against my family and me, but my commitment to our country never wavered despite their lies, betrayal, and fierce attacks on my freedom.

My memoir, “PARDON OF INNOCENCE”, will be released on June 24th. This inspiring book reveals the raw, unfiltered truth the deep state tried to silence.

Pre-order now and stand with me in preserving our nation's truth! Thank you.

Xi is likely on the rocks because he hasn’t been sufficiently aggressive for the harder core politburo types who want a dominant China now and NOT in ten or twenty years.

Our American challenge is the internal subversion they’ve been leading for many decades with those who I’ll identify as “fellow travelers.” These are key people and in many cases, entire institutions.

None of this comes as a surprise to the majority of the American people. In 2024, the frightening scenario of a Harris presidency led to a historic victory for President Donald J. Trump.

His challenges, while immense, are not insurmountable, but time is his greatest enemy along with far more subversion inside the USG bureaucracy than during his previous administration.

Pray I’m wrong but for someone who spent his adult life examining our nation’s security, this is where I believe we stand under this arch of U.S. history.

Thunderbolt Tariffs: Trump’s Battle Cry for America’s Soul
A Bold Strike to Reclaim Our Jobs, Pride, and Power from the Globalist Grasp

Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.

Lost in the Shadows: America’s Border Betrayal
How 448,000 Kids Slipped Through the Cracks—and Why We Must Fight Back

I’ve just reviewed a bombshell report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, dated March 25, 2025, and it’s a gut punch to every American who believes in sovereignty, security, and the rule of law. The title alone says it all: ICE Cannot Effectively Monitor the Location and Status of All Unaccompanied Alien Children After Federal Custody. Let that sink in. Hundreds of thousands of kids—448,000 from 2019 to 2023—crossed our border illegally, were handed off to sponsors, and now ICE, the agency tasked with enforcing our immigration laws, has no clue where many of them are. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a betrayal of the American people.
