You know at the end of the movie Terminator 2 where the shapeshifting T-1000 terminator (played by Robert Patrick) falls into the vat of molten liquid steel? In a desperate bid to survive, the shapeshifter starts shuffling through all of its previous forms that it took in the movie. None of the forms can survive the fact that the molten metal in the vat is mixing with the metal of the shapeshifter thereby diluting the T-1000 and destroying it.

Right now, Dope is desperately shifting through various arguments trying to make it that Trump misadventure in Iran is all about China. However, he cannot get past the basic fact that China was never reliant upon Iran's military strength, so neutering Iran's military does absolutely nothing to hurt China. If anything, China is now in better shape because the U.S. military is using up much of its air defense resources and exhausting their ships and planes.

Dope will keep shuffling through arguments, often returning to the same ones, but he cannot escape the reality of what is happening. Trump is helping China.
