First I thought Netanyahu and the UK globalists, forced Trump into the attack on Iran to screw Trump up and prevent the republicans from getting elected during the mid terms, and continue reversing the old status quo.

so as to maintain the globalists past 60 years status quo that started into reverse gradually after 9/11, confirmed by the 2008 financial crisis, confirmed again with Trump a reversal president getting elected in 2016.

Now it looks like China is siding with the globalists and old status quo also, because they don’t like losing manufacturing of US consumer goods jobs. They want to maintain a trade surplus with the US. They don’t want to lose wealth like the USA did after 1971.
