Iran Reviews > China's Persian Gulf Strategy: Israel and a Nuclearizing Iran 2009

[Argue With Everyone Political Forums] Japan, a U.S. ally, is actually the number one East Asian importer of Middle East oil, and as Yitzhak Shichor from the University of Haifa argued, China’s limited reliance on Persian Gulf oil relative to other Asian economies is one reason for Beijing’s reluctance to flag the Hormuz Strait as an issue (China Brief, September 22, 2008). Other reasons include the fact that China does not want to jeopardize its economic benefits, political advantages such as arms trade (more profitable than energy trade), and having Iran as a key node in the land-based energy Silk Road mentioned earlier.

The Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, and Vidicists of India were all called Hindus. It was during the colonial era that the British, who ruled India, coined the English-language term/word Hinduism and assigned the already existing and ancient Iranian term/word Hindu in 1830 to describe and designate the faiths and peoples of India belonging to Vedicism.

If the USA doesn’t have the ability to defend its carriers and U.S. carriers are sunk and their sailors and aircraft lost, the Obama administration and the Democrats now governing America will almost surely be crushed at the next election in the USA after any such event.

US-NATO Target Russia, China and ...: An Afghanistan that was at peace and stabilized would then be a decided disadvantage for plans to maintain and widen Western military positioning at the crossroads where Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Pakistani and Indian interests meet.The Russian writer mentions that Washington and its NATO allies have employed the putative campaign against al-Qaeda - and now Taliban as well as the drug trade - to secure, seize and upgrade 19 military bases in Afghanistan and Central Asia, including what can become strategic air bases like former Soviet ones in Bagram, Shindand, Herat, Farah, Kandahar and Jalalabad in Afghanistan. The analyst pointed out that “The system of bases makes it possible for the US to exert military pressure on Russia, China, and Iran.”It suffices to recall that during the 1980s current U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was the CIA official in charge of the agency’s largest-ever covert campaign, Operation Cyclone, to arm and train Afghan extremists in military camps in Pakistan for attacks inside Afghanistan.
