    We’ve seen this movie before

    This guy gets it.

    Also he’s especially right about the American interests part. As an Egyptian I currently want Egypt to ally itself with China so we can stop relying on American aid and maybe can actually do something about this mess.

      China certainly ‘solved’ their Gaza in Xinjiang.

      Not that I’m disagreeing with you about the US being shit, but I suppose there’s some truth to the idiom that a drowning man will clutch on to a straw.

        Oh I definitely don’t think China is good. But since Israel is an American ally it’s in their best interests to oppose them geopolitically. We’d probably end up helping Palestine more than we are with the spineless cowards in charge sucking US and Israeli dick.

      I think the US hegemony is pretty shitty, but then I think about how this would all go under a Chinese hegemony and realize it could be far, far worse. At least the US and it’s allies have a veneer of humanity.

      And the idea of “aid” from China is ludicrous. They only do things for a quid pro quo, like the Belt and Roadways scam.
