That’s not even a valid analogy, but let’s play Xi’s game. Xi says he’s Athens coming up in a world dominated by Sparta and the Spartan League - which is us in Xi’s allusion.

Spoiler alert... Sparta initiated the war and Sparta won. If he, as Athens in his delusion, invades Taiwan to trigger a war, the analogy falls apart even more.

No. America has not “already fallen into the trap.”

Iran is not a peoxy war. Iran has attacked U.S. interests since they took control 47 years ago, and has also desired to obtain nuclear weapons. This is an overdue necessity, and it has become a harder task now that Iran has been allowed to buld up its munitions with no pushback. It has been a very successul operation, and now the real finacial vice is being applied to thw most terroristic regime in modern history.
