Will China enter a direct war with the US? "I would be worried to be an American today"

In an interview with 103FM, Dr. Kobi Barda, a historian of American politics, criticized the US handling of Iran, calling the situation "embarrassing" after Iran demands negotiations on dividing the spoils of the highway robbery in the Strait of Hormuz with Oman alone. He also addressed Germany, where Volkswagen faces Chinese cars, and Qatar blocks a union with Israeli tech companies.

In an interview with 103FM, Dr. Kobi Barda, a historian of American politics, sharply criticized the conduct of US President Donald Trump towards Iran. Barda said it seems there is a desire "at any cost" to get through the coming period, at least until after the midterm elections, and that Iran demands to conduct negotiations on dividing the "highway robbery" in the Strait of Hormuz with Oman alone, without a third party, and the Americans are willing to "swallow it." He called the situation "embarrassing." Additionally, Barda provided an angle on the situation with China, while referring to Germany: Volkswagen is facing Chinese cars flooding the market, and wanted to convert some of its production lines to produce heavy trucks for carrying missiles, but the move was blocked because Qatar holds enough shares in the company and blocks a union with Israeli tech companies. Barda raised the question of what it means to depend on an Arab state like Qatar that decides what factories will produce, while the market is flooded with Chinese products.
