China Sends Iran Biggest Shipment Of Weapons Ever! w/ Thomas Massie (Jimmy Dore)

Recent reports suggest that China has rapidly increased military support to Iran, with multiple Chinese cargo planes landing in Iran, while Iran has been testing long-range missiles — all of which raising fears of escalation in the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. Jimmy criticizes Donald Trump for signaling support of an Israeli strike on Iran over missile development, arguing this continues a pattern of U.S. military action aligned with Israeli security priorities.

Guest Thomas Massie suggests prior strikes were aimed at degrading Iran’s conventional missile capacity rather than stopping nuclear weapons, and argues missile defense would be cheaper than perpetual foreign interventions. The discussion broadens into frustration with U.S. foreign policy, the political cost of dissent on Israel, and disappointment that Trump abandoned his earlier “no more wars” rhetoric while proving that border enforcement was largely a policy choice, not an infrastructure problem.
