Trump Goes to Beijing. Neocon Push for Iran Ground Invasion

The Duran: Episode 2518

Donald Trump is heading to Beijing for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, but according to Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou on The Duran, he's arriving in a far weaker position than he ever anticipated. China has effectively won the trade wars, the US tariff strategy has been repeatedly struck down by the courts, and Iran which Trump hoped to use as leverage over Beijing has proven far more resilient than expected. With China holding the cards on rare earths, energy, and Iran diplomacy, Beijing has little incentive to offer concessions, leaving Trump to negotiate from a position of dependency rather than strength. Meanwhile, neocon architect Robert Kagan has published a chilling Atlantic article that, when read carefully, is quietly making the case for a full-scale US ground invasion of Iran a warning The Duran unpacks in detail. Is Washington's neocon establishment pushing America toward its most dangerous escalation yet, and does Trump have any way out?
