Israel-Iran conflict will spur Russia-China gas deal, Russian adviser says

and I'm sure Russia and China will just sit there and not retaliate

It's one thing to bomb the pipeline of a completely cucked and subservient vassal state like Germany that will just meekly take it and say "thank you sir, may i have some more".

It's another to do it to a sovereign nuclear superpower like China. At that point you're declaring war on one and a half billion people who produce one third of the entire world's manufacturing output.

Good luck and have fun with the consequences.
