Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why is this thread full of ultras?
Half of us expect China to be the world's savior and are mad as hell they're not trying to be. The other half will bend over backwards to frame everything China does in a good light and make excuses for bad geopolitical decisions.
This is hexbearian dialectics.
There's a contingency of ultras around who don't really post or comment until China is mentioned and then they come out to dogpile.
China bad gang got riled up lol
With regards to Iran, probably because we just went through an almost two week war of sorts, where Iran got almost zero support from it's foreign partners, including China. The USA was shooting down ballistic missiles and drones that were attacking Israel using US air defence systems and fighter jets, and then intervened in the conflict offensively with capabilities that only the USA has. Not to mention all the aircraft, and a sizable amount of munitions used by Israel were US made. What did China or Russia do for Iran by comparison? Did they try shoot down incoming Israeli munitions? Did they operate their own air defence systems in Iran? Did they supply Iran with any offensive weapons/munitions? Where were the Su-35s, J-10s and S-400s or HQ-9s that every pro Iran social media grifter was talking about?
Did Iran ask for any of this?
Yes...
When? Where?
