Always the same hand that draws the knife, then accuses the wound of hostility.
So let’s speak with clarity.

Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all?
Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a US war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump’s war is singularly directed at the transformational global ‘changes they are driving together.’
