Yeah, and the PRC is the Confederacy.
The vast majority of Iranians don't want that.
Since everyone who wanted free trade with the US was already killed, sure.
Was everyone that wanted to continue slavery in the US killed?
Doesn't look like it...
There is no such thing as 'free trade with the US'.
The US obstructs free trade globally . . . because it cannot compete on fair and equal terms.
Now USA has run out of Interceptors.
What you gonna do?
And we're not going to kill everyone who wants communism. Only enough to get them out of the government.
I told what we're going to do. We're ending communism and there's nothing anyone else can do but watch.
Modern China practices state capitalism so you don't know what you are talking about.
Trump has started mimicking the Chinese State Capitalism approach because he sees how successful it has been- for example in creating the Chinese monopoly over refined rare earths which has crippled the US military.
You have no Interceptors left and cannot build anymore so USA is now extremely vulnerable.
Iran or the Houthis could blow away one of your $trillion dollar aircaft carriers with a $5000 drone.
Your fake definitions of capitalism and socialism are irrelevant. They have the wrong flag. War is inevitable.
State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial economic activity and where the means of production are nationalized as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, centralized management and wage labor). The definition can also include the state dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized using business-management practices) or of public companies (such as publicly listed corporations) in which the state has controlling shares.[1] The term has been used as a pejorative by Marxists, liberals and neoliberals. However, it has also served as a programmatic label for developmentalist and neomercantilist projects in reaction to imperialism.[2]
A state-capitalist country is one where the government controls the economy and essentially acts as a single huge corporation, extracting surplus value from the workforce in order to invest it in further production.[3] This designation applies regardless of the political aims of the state, even if the state is nominally socialist.[4] Some scholars argue that the economy of the Soviet Union and of the Eastern Bloc countries modeled after it, including Maoist China, were state capitalist systems, and Eastern and Western commentators alike assert that the current economies of China and Singapore also constitute a mixture of state-capitalism with private capitalism.[5][6][7][8][9]

You have no Interceptors left.
TACO!

Every government does this and it's immoral. Economy and state need to be separated.
You're calling Trump a chicken for not bombing Iran's energy plants? So following through on Bridge Day would be an act of bravery? Don't worry, when we hit the PRC there won't be a ceasefire.
Every government does this and it's immoral. Economy and state need to be separated.
Wrong. Where done well the entire economy and nation benefit.
For example both consumers and productive enterprise in China benefit hugely from the fact that state directed strategic investment has delivered electricity at less than half the cost any western industrialised nation can.
When this strategy is expanded across all core infrastructure and services to include all key inputs for productive enterprise you create the most competitive manufacturing economy in the world- China.
Trump is now, belatedly, clumsily and desperately mimicking Chinas state capitalism with his investments in key strategic supply chains like microchips and rare earths refining.
But its too little too late and the petrodollar Jewish usury financed empire is dying because too many idiots believed the simplistic, self serving, immoral, aimless, greed is good neoliberal nonsense spread around by sly corporate lobbyists.
The mixed economy requires intelligence, nuance, courage, unity of purpose and discretion to understand and implement- but where it is as it was historically in the west, and as it is now in China, it is a potent engine of economic growth and power projection.
TACO = BIG LOSER.
USA HAVE NO INTERCEPTORS LEFT.
DANG!
USA CANNOT MAKE MORE BECAUSE CHINA STOPPED SUPPLY THE REFINED RARE EARTHS NEEDED.
DANG!
The mixed economy enabling the dynamic vigour of free enterprise and state capitalism working in tandem wins!
How many died in the US civil war?
What were you fighting about? The right to own slaves!
Nations have internal divisions and sort them out.
Nothing new.
A small minority of Iranians wanted to bow to decades of US bullying and end up forever subservient to US imperialism.
The vast majority of Iranians don't want that.
Ditto China.
These are proud and ancient civilisations who strongly resist US imperialist bullying.
Good on them!
