China has become a major importer of Iranian oil — China has a Security Council veto — and China is in the position to sink the US economy if it releases its reserves of US dollars onto the open market.

China is in charge here -— there will be no attack on Iran.

“...there will be no attack on Iran.”

Something I have been saying for ages.

That's one scary statement... what about US sinking China's economy, is it possible?

Not really.

China would destroy itself in the process.

“Iran feels it has done enough to avert an imminent U.S. attack ...”

The best kind of enemy to have. A clueless one. We have positioned ourselves well in the case we ever muster the stones to act on it.

Good point, but the reverse is also true. If we stopped buying cheap goods from China their economy would also be sunk. Would never happen I know, but its still a valid point.

Don't be too sure of that. If China does that, then China's economy will be destroyed.
