Iran is a threat to the United States
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading. There are no current US bases in Pakistan, Afghanistan--which the US withdrew from in 2021--Kyrgyzstan, or Uzbekistan. The US formerly operated out of the Karshi-Khanabad Air Base in Uzbekistan, but left in 2005.

Visited the memorial of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of Kuomintang, in Zhongshan in the Spring Festival holiday. Sun once said: "Unification is the hope of all Chinese nationals. If China can be unified, all Chinese will enjoy a happy life; if it cannot, all will suffer."
Lyle Goldstein: "There is a museum in Taipei, the 'National Palace Museum'. It brags about having the best collection of Chinese artifacts in the world. If you go to that museum, there is not a single item in that museum from Taiwan. Little strange, isn't it?"
Interesting contrast. As opposed to Western politicians who are largely lawyers, most Chinese politicians in the top leadership are engineers.

By undermining the 1971 decision of the General Assembly, Taiwan is taking a stealthy path to independence without an outright declaration. sc.mp/gjos2?utm_source=twitt… via @scmpnews
Yanis Varoufakis: Why the US launched a new cold war against China? It has nothing to do with Taiwan, or with democracy. It is b/c China is threatening the US' global financial monopoly.
In the absence of imminent threat to Russian territory, the “special military operation” was a monumental folly from Russian point of view. But the Western mainstream media’s contention that it was entirely unprovoked ignores trends in recent decades.johnmenadue.com/ukraine-russ…

Nigel Farage: "I have made clear on multiple occasions, if you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don’t be surprised if he responds. And if you have neither the means nor the political will to face him down, poking a bear is not good foreign policy."

Philippine political commentator: "If China is so aggressive and stops us from delivering supplies to the ship (stranded on Ren'ai Reef), how did the marines survived for 24 years without food, water and medicine?"
Western commentators who trot out scare words like “excess capacity,” and “China trade shock 2.0” have gotten things exactly backwards. A glut in renewables and green products is precisely what the climate doctor ordered.

For Western countries, China's vast exports of toys and nailclippers are never a problem. But when China sells high-tech things like new-energy vehicles, they cried it is a "threat to the world".
By continuing to be content with its allotted role as a tolerated guest in the Anglo-Saxon club, Japan under Kishida may be boldly pursuing a militarist path, but in doing so it is only demonstrating that it is fearful of standing on its own two feet. chinadaily.com.cn/a/202404/1…
