Just for my own understanding, you're not insinuating China isn't violating international sanctions to purchase oil at a discount?

Unless china is importing sanctioned oil from.... Iran, Russa, and Venezuela at discounted rates.

I think this has been the crux of many allegations against China. They don't operate fairly in global markets.

Depends, I just want to point out that the US is a net exporter of Oil. They also secured oil imports from Venezuela while at the same time in 2 strokes seriously hurt Chinese oil imports.

If the goal was to hurt China / BRICS and kneecap Iran it seems on point.

It's always hard to predict how the USA will vote when "war" is happening.

No

The real victims here are going to be the graphic designers who worked for firework importers.
