Trump Insists Russia and China Are ‘Not Participating’ in Iran War

President Donald Trump insisted Russia and China are “not participating” in the Iran war.

The president made the declaration Friday in a Truth Social post.

The post included Trump claimed he is doing “very big favors” for Chinese President Xi Jingping:

"President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President [Vladimir] Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea. Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The message comes as the months-long conflict in Iran is creating more controversy on the home front, and weeks after Trump claimed in a speech to the nation on election fraud that China was trying to influence American elections.

On Thursday, Trump claimed the U.S. is “doing better than anybody expected” in the war with Iran — the same day four Republicans joined Democrats in a vote in the House of Representatives to end the conflict.

The nonbinding resolution passed 214-208 with the help of four Republicans joining 210 Democrats: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Tom Barrett (R-MI), Warren Davidson (R-OH), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA).

Well, it's true, at least it's true in the same sense that the US is not participating in the Ukraine war.

Yes they are, they are giving intel to Iran to tell them what places to bomb, China also supplied them weapons during that “Cease fire” they would turn off their transponders and fly in the middle of the night to Tehran to bring weapons and god knows what else

There’s “other ways” Russia and China are involved in
Trump’s Iran war, thanks to “our greatest ally” Israel.


Here’s some facts “our greatest ally “forgot” to tell
Trump when Israel lured Trump into bombing Iran:

<><>Israel engages in pragmatic diplomatic and security dialogues
with China and Russia, particularly wrt regional operations in the Middle East hellhole.

<><>Israel and Russia communicate frequently on military de-confliction
that allows Israeli operations in Syria, (AKA the “Greater Israel” land grab).

<><>Israel has shared “sensitive intelligence” with the
US that Israel then leaked, or passed along, to Russia. ——NBC News——

<><>China is Israel’s biggest trading partner.

<><> Israel sells dangerous high tech to China.....
Israel sells its own tech....... and tech Israel gets from the US for being our “greatest ally.”

<><>The US has criticized Israel’s persistent tech sales to China, fearing China’s abuse of US tech will harm the safety an security of American families.

<><>Israel sold technology to upgrade Chinese tanks and planes and also transferred or licensed the Python missile technology (leading to China’s PL-8 missile), the EL/M-2035 Doppler radar, and the Tamam inertial navigation system.

Very troubling:

<><>2007-2008 CIA memos reported by Foreign Policy in 2012, Israeli Mossad agents posed as CIA officers to recruit members of the terrorist group Jundallah for operations against Iran. This “false flag” operation utilized American dollars and passports, causing significant tension between the U.S. and Israel during the Bush administration.

<><>Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars - part of the world’s largest natural gas field - led to a spike in energy prices. Donald Trump posted that he “did not known” about the Israeli attacks in advance. The fallout raised questions over how united Israel and the US remain.

<><>Netanyahu has said Trump requested there be no further such attacks on Iranian energy targets.

“”””how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea.””””

He has no idea what Ukraine does with those American weapons that he ships to them and then collects payment for from the other Europeans, who knows what they are for?

That should clear that up.

NONE of your diatribe supports this: “There’s “other ways” Russia and China are involved in
Trump’s Iran war, thanks to “our greatest ally” Israel.”

You just fabricated an assertion, put up some anti Israel bullsh!t and then posted some mischaracterized “facts” completely divorced from whether Iran receives military aid from China or Russia.

You are not worthy of this site and should be purged. I will begin lobbying for that. Most Freepers are fed up with your sh!t.

Huh. Obviously those two major Countries ARE participating. All Trump is doing here is warning them to back off. Or not appear that obvious. (IMO)

I second the motion!

“Liz” is not out to have an honest debate about anything, but turns every thread (related or unrelated) into an anti-Israel thesis. “Liz” is a political partisan with dubious facts from incredible sources like CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Reuters, etc. The only thing missing from her dissertations is “Allu Akbar!” at the end.
