    You clearly have no clue about what is going on. I'm still laughing at your claims that Israel helped the US develop drones that can travel at 33,000 mph and can turn on a dime and you claim others are on fantasy land! China are developing the ports at Haifa and Ashdod. Do you know which country those ports are in?

    No I’m just saying Trump has shown he is willing to do any and everything to preserve americas interest in regards to foreign diplomacy.

    Not only that but he created an entire network of coalitions of nations that dislike and distrust each other cause all of them had been hacked and threatened by China. He surrounded the shipping lanes with allies, because everyone saw the threat.

    Even the article in the OP stated they did this to get around the sanctions.

    I meant to say 16,000 MPH. It's still fast as hell.

    What do ports have to do with drones?

    Yes. The Israel helped develop these drones for the United States. They've been building drones since the 1980s.

    China is playing the long game. The US is no longer capable of doing that due to the massive divide in the country.

    You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Mr Roznama Ummat’s, who is from Pakistan and writes for the Urdu daily, opinion as gospel when he doesn’t provide any sources.

    Reporting of facts is different than reporting of opinion. The facts are China and Iran are doing these things. The idea they are doing these things to wriggle around sanctions is his opinion.

    Probably built with American money. Israel is the largest beneficiary of US foreign aid, by far. And then there are the private donations from US (dual) citizens to Israel....

    China is a fascist country. They are national communist with a totalitarian central government. You guys defended them for over a year while our allies were trying to get the media to start paying attention. China's got concentration camps and intends to invade Taiwan. They don't believe in human rights, democracies or Republics.

    Are you KIDDING? When has China done anything that doesn't put them at an extreme advantage? Are you being paid to type this=) Do you know what it takes to do business over there? Do you understand IP theft? And you're criticizing TRUMP and his diplomacy with Israel and compare that to what Obama and Biden have done?? Holy ^$*&#@*(@, this is funny.

    China is doing what they always do. Plop down bags of cash and people roll over. You understand China doesn't have to worry about terrorism in its borders because they freely KILL anyone they choose within their borders. Do you know what their immigration laws are compared to ours? You talk about Isolation? China can isolate themselves off from any ME problem they create in an instant. They don't have to worry about what the world thinks of them. They don't have to worry about what their own people think of them. They have no media to deal with. No BLM group or CAIR to appease. They don't celebrate their DIVERSITY and invite in X number of Muslims from this country or LatinX from that country to fulfill their quotas so people can feel good about themselves. They put Muslims in CONCENTRATION camps to deal with their problem=) They release a virus onto the world, while isolating it from their own people. Its quite amusing you celebrate how a Racist Totalitarian regime operates, while spending 4 years calling TRUMP the racist and totalitarian, when he did NOTHING that could qualify him as either.

    This wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't so sad. I'm sensing this board is ripe with bots again.

    The US has bases and troops in thousands of places but this one base in Iran show the US is weak? That doesn't compute.

    Still wrong! Drones cannot get anywhere near that speed. Who is telling you all this rubbish?
    You're the one who starting spouting nonsense claims about drones in a thread about China operation in the Middle East just to attack Biden yet you did not even know that China are also developing Israeli ports; would you like to blame Biden for that too?

    Every country has been building drones for decades. Your love for Israel is strong and based on more nonsense
