The US don't have any allies anymore. Trump has insulted and attacked them all.
Phils bemused affect shows DWs bias.
Such a useless and meaningless analysis by DW yet again.
I think he means un- presidential…. Just like everything else he does.
United States creates 99.99 % of world problems.
Sometimes the main trait of an loser, is that they don't know when they have completely lost.
So tired of all this winning
If this guy thinks china and russia will bow to the US and cut off iran, he is a fool
More cheap oil for China.
The only way for the United States to get out of its debt crisis is to create a worldwide economic collapse. Capitalism sucks.
When I hear of an organization like The Defense of Democracy or the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, it makes me want to vomit. ALL of these organizations have absolutely nothing to do with democracy. They have everything to do with capitalism and making sure the top 1% controls the world.
Targeting or social media attack.

How should we view Trump’s imposition of the most severe economic sanctions on Iran?
On August 19, Trump stated on his social media platform: "Today, I am also announcing that any country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any form of lifeline to Iran will face massive economic consequences. Oil smuggling, swap agreements, cash transfers, currency exchange houses, ship registrations, shell companies—all of this must stop now, and you know who you are."
The shift from military strikes to economic sanctions may prove even more painful for Iran than war itself. Given the enormous costs and limited effectiveness of military action, maintaining continuous economic sanctions and blockades against Iran might well be the most effective approach for the United States to deal with the country.
What is the current state of Iran's economy? Even before the outbreak of the war, Iran's economy was already on the verge of collapse. After nearly half a year of war, Iran's economic situation will only be worse than it was before the conflict. On August 11, Iran's First Vice President Aref stated that the people's demands are legitimate and that rising prices are a reality, emphasizing that Iran no longer has the luxury of internal strife. On August 14, Iranian President Pezeshkian publicly stated: "The current rise in prices is normal. We used to import goods via sea freight, but now we have to take longer routes, leading to increased final costs. Our revenue has also decreased because we cannot sell our oil. Some of our factories were also destroyed in the war; not only can we not collect taxes from them, but we also have to subsidize them to keep them running." The remarks from the President and Vice President indicate that Iran's economy is in an extremely dire situation.
Currently, Iranian officials and high-ranking leaders have repeatedly sent clear public signals that they will take proactive offensive actions against the United States. Knowing full well that they are no match for the U.S., why would they choose to go on the offensive? A major reason is that Iran can no longer bear the U.S. blockade of its ports, which cuts off its maritime trade accounting for approximately 90% of its GDP. The primary goal of taking proactive action against the U.S. is to break the American blockade of Iranian ports, but what are the actual chances of success?
If the United States continues to impose severe economic sanctions and a naval blockade on Iran, while also incorporating a land blockade into its plans to crush Iran's already collapsing economy, Iran truly has no effective countermeasures given its current international situation. If Iran fights, the U.S. will readily oblige; if it doesn't, it is essentially a sitting duck. Cutting its losses and opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the U.S. blockade and sanctions might be Iran's best option for self-preservation. Acting on a momentary impulse to go head-to-head with the U.S. over the Strait of Hormuz, which is gradually losing its strategic significance, is not a wise strategy. For the sake of the nation and its people, the Iranian authorities should carefully weigh the pros and cons and make the right choice.

Just more empty threats from Taco, next week it will be something different. The whole world knows Iran already won the war. And you can bet your last dollar/euro/peso that Iran will be utterly determined to get a nuclear missile, so they can never be attacked again – just like North Korea
The "sanctions expert" has been watching far too much Fox News
Iran should not mess with president Trump
While US does that, arm the Iranian resistance within the country. Trump doesn't want to play that card, why is that?
we didn't actually declare war……
Hope Xi's gonna come to your resuce? Hello?
BRICS currency and financial system will be fastracked. Dedoĺarization will be on steroids.
Who was that loud mouth, NFI cartoon character? Fog horn leg horn 😂
This guy is betraying his country just to look good for the USA
40 trillion in debt and Americans still can't have universal healthcare , proper infrastructure, affordable housing,free or cheaper university fees.
Trump is a total failure, he's unpopular and about to be a lame duck president.
No one believes or trust the orange clown, its over for him and Maga.
Trump and Bibi needs to be in the Hauge to be held accountable for the war crimes that they committed..
USA hit 40 trillion debt. what economic war? more like economic meltdown soon
So now American have shifted from threatening Iranian to threaten the country that do business with Iran 😂😂😂😂😂
Trump’s Economic war never works….
It’s not like they haven’t already tried sanctioning Iran 😂
He managed to double the USA national debt which was $20 trillion in 2016 to over $40 trillion today. Its like the most crushing economic operation he has conducted on his own country as China own most of it 😂
Why does the US and Israel think they can defeat the Iranian religious fanatics?..they are well on the way to creating a new Afghanistan there…and that will go well.
Did that guest really just blame Biden
Putin and Trump are having a reality check with there wars
Would this be the 21st packet of sanctions?
Iran is probably cracking up seeing us dollar crashing and the usa not able to sell its debt.😂
HE IS A GOOFY, how can it be economicaly isolating Iran if they can t even secure a patch of water ? What is he talking about ? Iran has multiple business partners such as China, Russia, North Korea, I m not saying it s right but it will definetly have no affect on them as they live independently from USA since they exist !!!!! Have they ever asked for a loan……………? I don t think so, no from the US anyway. I wish people in Europe will wake up and realize that everything that was promised to us was a lie………because european politicians, for so many years, relied on US, biggest fkn mistake in history !!!!!
Oh look, economic sanctions kill mainly 0 to 5 year olds. It's a form of terrorism. Can you imagine if Hamas user a tool that killed mainly 0 to 5 year olds? Haha
As usual, Iran are scared to death by Trump's threats and preparing the white flag…😂😂😂
Great! That's a good idea, because USA, Canada and European Union from many years ago stimulate criminal people. For example is Bulgarian communists, criminal Bulgarian Roma and nowadays criminal Bulgarian banks employees and mobile phone operators. USA, Canada and European Union give them a lot of money and visa to stay and work in USA , Canada and European Union. But about democratic and poor Bulgarian have a sanction economic and reprresion from USA authorities and Canadian authorities and from European Union. More of poor people and with zero income democratic Bulgarian are died whiteout foods and any humanitarian help and special medicine help.
Remember the Liberation Day?
Trump has given up military option?
As the Ukrainians so he are winning big.
Never felt so encouraged to support Iran
get this guy on more often, very interesting what he has to say
Is this economic Sanctions due to eating too much TACOs in the Delivery Van and missing out on Board Air Force One to head home?🤔😉🤣🤣

August 21 news report! China has made it crystal clear! Whoever dares to drop a single bomb on China will immediately have their homeland struck!
The Ministry of National Defense has laid it all out on the table this time. The US has been recklessly building up its influence around China, with Japan, the Philippines, and Australia acting as US allies. The US thought that as long as these countries stood in the front lines, it could rest easy. But now China has made it clear: if the Chinese mainland is attacked, the US homeland, including military bases around China, will be well within the range of China's bombers. There is no way they can hide in the back and watch the show.
On August 5, the Ministry of National Defense press conference directly criticized this US "offshore balancing" calculation. Whoever dares to take a shot at a mainland China target—regardless of whether it's fired from Guam, Alaska, or a destroyer—we will flatten the launch site while simultaneously tracing the command chain to wipe out your homeland military hubs, ammunition depots, radar stations, and command centers. All of these are on the retaliation list. This time, it's not the lukewarm, toothless rhetoric of "reserving the right to take measures"; that's just polite diplomatic table talk. If you blow up a single brick of our house, we will tear down your roof beams along with the foundation. In the past, US wargames were played very cleverly: aircraft carriers in the second island chain, forward bases renting neighbors' yards, missiles mounted on Japanese platforms, while Washington and Tokyo considered themselves absolute safe zones, at most losing a few overseas outposts.
Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Senior Colonel Chen Xi’s exact words on August 7 were: "Modern warfare possesses full-chain traceable strike capabilities. As long as one participates in a military offensive against China, whether from forward bases, maritime platforms, the homeland rear, or military hubs, none can evade countermeasures." To put it more bluntly, proxy wars do not exist when it comes to China. No matter which proxy you use, if someone dares to fire the first shot on your behalf, neither you nor your proxy will be exempt from responsibility.
The CSIS wargame report from August 5 just assumed striking Chinese mainland ports and airports within 24 hours. Shortly after, the Ministry of National Defense elevated the retaliation rules to explicitly target the opponent's homeland. This rhythm is no coincidence; it's holding the think tank's nose to tell the operators: your scenario didn't label what price your homeland would pay, and China is here to fill in that blank for you. This statement from the Ministry of National Defense is also directed at America's little brothers: if your master is already within our bombing range, let alone you.

My own comments :
China is no Russia, nor Iran, and so the US should think twice if, say after fully subduing both Russia and Iran (if possible), she immediately concentrates all her military forces in East Asia and starts another agency war against China in the West Pacific, otherwise, not only will the US's homeland be similarly attacked by China in retaliation, all the US's existing military forces and facilities in the West Pacific will be completely annihilated by defending China in one stroke, until all the remaining US and allied military forces there are completely evicted by china out of the West Pacific and East Asia.
Simply speaking, any enemy country striking China using any of the weapons and satellite intelligence provided by the US fully entitles China to also strike the US's homeland in return.
