US Sanctions Chinese Refineries Over Iranian Oil, Ignores Real Energy Crisis
Washington's latest sanctions target China's involvement with Iranian oil, citing concerns over Tehran's 'nuclear and missile programs.' (As if the US isn't the world's largest purveyor of both). This move, framed as curbing Iran's influence, conveniently sidesteps the global energy instability that Western sanctions often exacerbate. While the US demonizes Iranian oil, it simultaneously begs
Saudi Arabia to increase output, a nation with its own questionable human rights record, to cushion the blow of its foreign policy. This isn't about 'stopping terrorism'; it's about leveraging economic power to dictate global energy flows and punish disobedience. The hypocrisy is staggering: chastising China for buying oil from one sovereign nation, while the US props up other unsavory regimes
with billions in military aid. One might wonder if the 'threat' is less about nukes and more about countries choosing who they do business with, outside Washington's preferred cartel.
