This is exactly why we need to stop coddling dictators and actually hold our allies accountable instead of letting corporations profit off global instability. We've been letting this happen for YEARS.

I agree we need more accountability, though the challenge is that our leverage with allies is often weaker than we'd like, and pulling back too quickly risks creating vacuums that adversaries like China exploit even faster.

You think the Times would've buried it if a Democrat was president?

So we're just now finding out about this? China's been in bed with Iran for how long and suddenly it's a story because we "have intelligence" showing it?

China shipping missiles to Iran?? This is what happens when we treat them like business partners instead of the strategic threat they actually are! We need to START ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING about this!
