File under more nuttiness
or Trump Temper Tantrum fuels Tanker Troubles

Dunno about this constant rubbing salt in the wound. Looks like real diplomacy no longer exists. Hold'em tables have this sort of player , the US. The US is the famous loose aggressive sort of player archetype. These players play lots of hands and play them aggressively. The proper play for this sort is to tighten up and play fewer, but choice hands. This is like strategic play. You play the player and the hands. On the international scene this is easy to see. Where does the US intervene. It plays with its 800 + bases, meddling all over the place, and playing shoot 'em up wars. So, to see how things progress, learn some poker and see how countries play each other and which "hands", hands can be trade restrictions, proxy wars, false flags, covert ops, etc.
Russia reminds me of the hit and run player. They play hands in order to deceive. Russia will play some odd hand for a cheap price and if that hand hits, it sucks others in. China is the long haul grinder. Again, Iran is the busted gambler.

OK, obviously pot to kettle here. We're all currency manipulators now.

Now this could be a decision point for China at a time convenient to them. This is really like playing hold'em. The US and China have to figure out how good their hands are now and what events [like which cards fall on the flop, turn river] are favorable to each, and the probability of said events.
And of course we have Russia at the table also.

Russia made Iran an offer it couldn't refuse. IOW, Iran is like an indebted gambler. Iran lost a bunch of chips to the US and Russia wants to keep Iran in the game for a price. So Russia basically gets a big cut of any future winnings by Iran.
The table is set, the players are stacking chips, and there are all sorts of grudges from games past. Things will be interesting since mother nature owns the casino.
