This is just a side effect of US companies outsourcing manufacturing to China for quick profit and as result US becoming dependent on China (and US becoming service/finance economy with ever increasing debt). This process has been going on for decades. Iran War is not first example of sucessfull defense of a small country (with foreign military aid) against US. See the Korea, Vietnam war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_in_the_Korean_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_participation_in... | ||

Korea war was basically a rwo empire war. First the industrial remnants of the japan mic vs the south, then the us vs china. The idea was that contracts between states are worthless, but physical dependencies are actually at least temporary binding contracts. Its like with NATO, you dont trust the paper, you place units of all signers in the path of danger of the agressor and thus reduce the risk of partners chickening out. | ||
