"Briefly, the US has the capacity to decisively win on one or two fronts at a time, so its strategic logic leads it to want to wrap up conflicts in order: put an end to the Ukraine war, and address Iran next, to preserve its ability to respond to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The logic of its rivals is then the opposite: to tightly coordinate and threaten to expand conflicts on each front so that the US can’t effectively respond to any. This is a path to a world war."

So, if US hit Iran, we have to watch out for escalation from Russia and China.

They would just arm Iran and give her satellite intel to enable the Mullahs kills as many invading American troops as possible. That's not an escalation.

strawman argument

How? Your response feels like a low effort and not really anything more valuable than a strawman as well.

Russia does not want to get into a 1:1 shooting war with the US--especially now that it has a puppet in the WH. Russia has always done what was laid out in GP. It has previously been doing this in Iran, Syria, etc.

imo calling out a strawman argument is inherently more valuable than making a strawman argument.
