    It wouldn’t surprise me if China does eventually step in and demonstrate that it’s the adult in the room, but only after the US has completely embarassed itself.

      Oh the United States of America are well beyond embarrassing themselves globally. Internally though, well, that’s a different matter.

      i dont think china will help. i read that iran saying that they will allow ship passes as long the oil were bought in yuan. i dont know if that is true but its a sensible option for iran.
