China 'Boosts' Iran's Missiles: US Complains About What It Started
Newsweek warns us that China is providing a 'missile boost' to Iran, escalating tensions in the region. This framing, of course, ignores that the US has systematically armed nearly every Iranian adversary for decades. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the US is the world's largest arms exporter, with Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE being major
recipients. Israel, receiving over $3 billion annually in US military aid (Council on Foreign Relations), also maintains a significant qualitative military edge, including a suspected nuclear arsenal. So, a region saturated with American-made weaponry now sees Iran developing defensive capabilities, and suddenly it's a 'threat'? This endless cycle of escalating arms sales, often funded by American
taxpayers, is presented as an Iranian 'boost' instead of a predictable response to regional military imbalances, meticulously engineered by Washington and its defense contractors. Funny how 'tensions' always translate to more weapons contracts for the Pentagon's friends, isn't it?
