## What the media says

**Video transcript** (reposted clip, 1:28), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> >> Being nicer to Russia is because, and China's freaking out about this, Russia is now willing to start trading on the US dollar again and not in the BRICS currency to join the global market. This would absolutely spell the end of China as we know it. Russia is the last piece of the puzzle to bring China to its knees. And we don't actually have a problem with what we shouldn't have a problem with Russian values, they're pre-people, Putin's a Cold War relic, but beyond the neocons and what they want you to believe because they want to keep sending unaccountable money to Ukraine, we should actually have a relationship with Russia, very similar values amongst the people. And Trump is willing to gamble 30 cents more a gallon at the pump for like a few weeks to do that. Again, trust the guy, oil is still remarkably cheaper right now than it was under Joe Biden. But here's the other side that's not entirely public yet. What's China doing right now? They already know they're not in a position to do anything militarily against us. Opponents of the Iran strike are whining that we're depleting our munition reserves. Well, not nearly as much as China's depleted theirs. This attack showed China two things. One, our military is way stronger than they thought. And two, China had put a lot of their air defenses, a lot of their resources and weaponry in Venezuela and Iran. And we took it out in a day. The smokescreen of the military might of China was decimated in the first 20 hours.
