Yes. Thank you for the post, btw. I believe the Belt and Road Initiative is what is driving Trump’s middle east peace deals. Through, I believe it was Epoch Times articles, I learned that with this initiative China has already established a strong foothold in Iran, with a goal of commandeering the entire middle east and thus control of all it’s oil reserves. Some of these countries are in desperate economic situations and the Chinese are able to woo them on board with promises of a brighter economic future, while keeping their eyes closed to the reality that China’s real goal is to rule over them politically. With the middle east peace deals I believe the effort is to spur a viable economic future for these countries that allows them to reject Chinese hegemony.
Interesting. Horrifying.

Ah, that makes sense. And another reason for the US to strive for energy independence.
