This is huge in the geopolitical world. China operated as a broker in the structurally unstable relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
- From the Iranian perspective – With a visibly weak U.S. president, and a strengthening Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping forming a close bond with Saudi Arabia, it makes sense for Iran to move toward diplomatic relations.
- From the Saudi Arabia perspective – With a visibly weak U.S. president, the prior assurances from Washington DC diminish, trust is tenuous, and a stronger hedge-based relationship with Chairman Xi is formed.
- From the Chinese perspective – With a visibly weak U.S. president, and a western alliance intended to destroy itself to fulfill the desires of the WEF climate change and cultural agenda, the opportunity to expand influence is teed up.
It will be intensely interesting to see how Israel positions itself w/ this new dynamic.
BEIRUT — Saudi Arabia and Iran announced an agreement in China on Friday to resume relations more than seven years after severing ties, a major breakthrough in a bitter rivalry that has long divided the Middle East.
The agreement was a result of talks in Beijing that began Monday as part of an initiative by Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at “developing good neighborly relations” between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the three countries said in a joint statement. The agreement, which was signed by top Iranian security official Ali Shamkhani and Saudi national security adviser Musaed bin Mohammed al-Aiban, said embassies would be reopened within two months.
Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran in 2016 after the Saudi Embassy in Tehran was attacked and burned by Iranian protesters, angered by the kingdom’s execution of prominent Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr. The cleric had emerged as a leading figure in protests in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, a Shiite-majority region in the Sunni-majority nation.
[…] On Friday, John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said the United States welcomed the agreement but noted that Washington was not “directly involved.”
Kirby said it was too early to tell whether the deal would hold. “It really does remain to be seen whether the Iranians are going to honor their side,” he said. “This is not a regime that typically does honor its word. So we hope that they do. We’d like to see this war in Yemen end.”
Yemen has enjoyed a rare reprieve from fighting since April, when a truce sponsored by the United Nations went into effect. (more)
With the western alliance nations destroying their economies while simultaneously meddling around in European cultural and political affairs, the dynamic of the BRICS economic alliance also opens up within a Saudi-Iran peace process. Economics is the oil that lubricates against geopolitical friction.
China is gaining influence, and Russia is gaining breathing room from WEF sanctions.
This will be very interesting to keep watching.
These suicidal Western nations (US Canada, western Europe, Australia) are acting like they are still the Big Men on Campus and Homecoming King. They think that those in their world still fawn and worship them but in actuality, they’ve already been replaced by those who have learned that the BMOC is actually a big zero.
Our star faded so quickly since January 2020. We have political leaders who act like the world has to do what we tell them to do. We, the US government, have been a bully for decades now. If we had kept most of the nations in the world poor and desperate then they would have had to suffer under the bully. But we made these countries very wealthy or getting wealthy. They now have the technology, industry, resources, and trading partners to cut out the stupid Western Nations.
They will build economies that exist without the Woke West and eventually become economic powerhouses.
All the players in Bible End Times prophecy lining up…and big ole super power USA not even eluded too..
except may rich Babylon, who fell in a day
yep-I am seeing what you are seeing.
You may want to reassess that. America fulfills the Biblical criteria for Babylon the great. Those who are blind cannot see, those who look and refuse to see might just as well be blind.
“Babylon the great” represents false religion
“I will show you the judgment on the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality”
“For because of the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, “all the nations have fallen victim”, and the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her,”
“And the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality with her and lived with her in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her when they see the smoke from her burning.
“Also, the merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full cargo anymore,
As you can see from these scriptures in REV: she can’t be the governments or or the global economics cabal, the only one left is false region
BRICS Countries seem to be dealing with ‘the World’ by coming at it from a position of “enlightened self interest”, and WEF countries, from a suicidal fantasy position.
And the common denominator is the f*ckup in Chief, Mr
Potatus head, Joe and those that installed him.
The Saudis are looking out for their best interests. They see a weak Biden administration and an America that is turning “woke”. They also are betting on China to surpass the USA as top dog on the totem pole.
Not a ‘weak’ U.S. president. More like a ‘non existent acting president’. The real president lives in Palm Beach, Florida planning his return.
The Saudis are making a SMART bet!
Perhaps it’s beyond a ‘weak president’ and more like a ‘corrupt’ administration (president, cabinet, Congress, State Dept, DOJ, intelligence agencies, etc., etc., etc.
Israel was the first to congratulate Biden for stealing the election, and the most vaccinated country in the world, 😂 poor idiots, I thought the joes were supposed to be a smart people, now they have Sunni, Shia and Red China to deal with , it may be time for sKyWIper. Again.
Actually, try researching whether Israel is the ‘most vaxxed country’. Aside from mainstream mumbo jumbo, you can’t actually find any up to date information. The best I can find is Sept 2021: https://gizmodo.com/50-countries-with-the-best-covid-19-vaccination-rates-i-1847589000
If you can find something more recent, other than WAPO telling you this is so, please post it.
Maybe Biden should have kept his mouth shut about “pariah” status for MBS
Exiting Afghanistan without a plan or notice provided little trust in Middle East that US had their backs. In addition, trade of oil in US dollars has cost Middle East more than I can calculate compared to if had been traded in gold over the last 50 years. US balance sheet/economy is causing dollar to be worth even less, so why trade your commodity in something that harms you economically? Technology is affording these countries opportunities in other currencies.
Weaponizing SWIFT, confiscating countries reserves and sanctions have only served to accelerated the desire for other than U.S. trade/currency.
Biden has often cited a “reset”.
Little did US citizens realize this “reset” would make their currency/power/influence on the world stage weaker.
In just 2 years, Biden has accomplished what Russia/China have wanted for years.
Cool. This is what it looks like as the West goes green.
I bet if you dig a little deeper you’ll find ARAMCO in the background and the Rockefeller’s saying green my a_ss.
We’re back! Back to being called the evil eagle! Bidumb and crew have not only made our friends enemy’s, they are forcing them to all gang up on us. If you can’t see the writing on the wall, you did not look at the wall!
Israel will always do what they want to do, regardless of cost to their ‘special friend’ (the US). Israel is already a vital supplier of US military tech to Communist China. They treat us like a crack whore.

All of the FiveEyes countries have been “captured” by ideological freaks, greedy geezers and incompetents. It’s obvious by the way the FiveEyes countries “ruling class” have handled the WEF, an ascent China, the Covid pandemic, a proxy war with Russia, inflation and social provocations. IMO, all other countries are backing away from America and her allies; breaking their dependencies and associations; forming new ones; as America in particular, rots its way down into civil wars, race wars, destruction of their culture and infrastructure and the fracturing of their union. The political and welfare state has failed again; die to human corruption from within. A course correction may be possible, but will face unimaginable resistance to alter the paralyzed state of politics, corruption and lazy people.
It will be intensely interesting to see how Israel positions itself w/ this new dynamic.
I was wondering this, as well. Considering Netanyahu’s good relationship with Putin, there is nothing I would like more than for Israel to disengage itself from the west, and form alliances with Iran. They already have the Abraham Accords…..
On the other hand, note that the UAE is considered a ‘partner’ with the WEF, and the head of their government sits with Klaus Schwab on stage……
Who would have thought the Saudis bumping off an intel asset masquerading as a journalist, and the high school prima donna histrionics from the US over it, would be the thing to end the petro-dollar, and by extension the existence of the US as a great power in the world.
Does anyone have Kissinger on the phone by the way? I’d love to know his reaction to everything he built being destroyed by a potato and the DIE squad.
Never understood why Trump seemed all-in for Saudi Arabia.
