They are in this for the long haul, partly for self preservation and partly to harm Trumpf’s electoral prospects.

They will certainly try their best to survive. You got that bit right.
Trumps electoral prospects?
Give your head a shake, man!
They aren't a western country. They have polar opposite views, and Trump is out in a couple of years no matter what they do.
 
Mean while afaik you have Macron posing on a French air craft carrier off the coast of cypress !!!

Whilst a Uk working destroyer that has just been patched up has just left its port

Full speed ahead and it could be there in 4 days (?)

But due to cut backs and the cost of diesel it won’t be going full speed ahead it’s limping along so will take longer

UK have a couple of air craft carriers one is broken down and the other one has a leak

I've read articles over the past few weeks arguing it both ways. The analysis in the Spectator is obvious but simplistic. China has always known Iran was extremely vulnerable, so it has never been a critical partner for China. Venezuela was small beer.

Did the articles you read say how much of Iran's oil was bought by China and at what price, did it explain how Russia has gone from being a powerful ally of China to being a weak dependant, 1,000,000 casualties and crippling sanctions, China has propped up Venezuela for years and now Trump has strolled in and taken Maduro away, killed the Ayatollah and put China in a very difficult position with the rest of the Middle East. Of course they now have to disown Iran and cosy up to the other countries to secure oil, they really are on the back foot, while Trump continues to eliminate the 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers.

There's a very big game being played here, the question is will Trump TACO or will he see it all through?

Personally, I think he'll see it through.

I suspect we'll see more claims of him raping children and eating babies in the near future.

Superficially, there are some modest gains for Trump.

But in just one year he has turned the USA into a rogue state who nobody trusts any longer. When they meet, Xi will look like the statesman.

A statesman who needs a trade deal with the US.

Putin and Xi have been skipping around gleefully since Trump gave them a green light to attack who the want, in spite of the massive world wide tide against his war. They see the moron Trump as the gift that keeps on giving.

The four murderous dictators (Putin Xi Bibi Trump) ought to get together and have a little global war party.

Trumpf has no clear strategy, he makes it up as he goes along. At best he is destroying conventional military equipment and means of production; when he decides to stop they will start producing them again. No signs he is doing anything effective against the nuclear programme. Western civilians will suffer as aircraft and other civilian resources are targetted.
