Not necessarily. Didn't India continue to buy Iranian oil, alongside China, when Trump launched his maximum pressure campaign against Iran during his 1st term ?

India trying to suck up to Trumps toes in hopes they can starve off the economic nuke. Now if the US launches a global embargo on Russia. India who is trying to get on Trump good side will probably bend their spine to achieve that.
Iran is doing poorly because it has very poor understanding of reality , history and vast over estimation of its own abilities.
just look at Ottoman empire success or even current Turkey despite lack of Oil. Turkey can officially occupy Syria, Iraq and Cyprus but not Iran. Iran need quick reform and integration into an Arab empire.
Well, well. Not much bravado now..
It's funny Taiwan's people think they have a choice, Taiwan is a democracy, which means they're all just slaves to their fedual lords.
The majority of people just want to be over as soon possible (Weeks at best) and then go back to their normal lives. The last thing they want is to be trapped in perpetual war and that island divided in two.
The odds of Iran integrating into an "Arab empire" is even less likely than EU-Russian integration in the foreseeable future.
I don't know if you've ever met any Iranians, but Iranians and Arabs are like water and oil. They don't mix, dude.
Why so few female respondents?!
Were they too shy to acknowledge their excitement for the upcoming armed reunification, which may result in a significant reduction in the local femboy population?!
TBF most homo sapiens -- especially the effeminate -- prefer being told what to do (preferably by someone they like, respect or otherwise view positively) over figuring things out themselves and finding their own way.
Random thoughts on Friday:
This recent trend of DJI on BYD on ADAS and likes is good for Chinese economy, but not very conducive for world peace. Adding recent enthusiasm of humanoids from Unitree and likes, I could see, very soon, that Chinese consumers would take (I am not using 'drive' here) their intelligent NEVs with DJI drones on top and Unitree humanoids at side and HW 5.5G in the sky. That would be exciting for those Chinese car nuts to drive through HW 216 or 219, but would not be very helpful to world peace.
I guess there is some tacit agreement inside Trump admin that the stock market should be left alone for the time being, for there was too much sugar as a result of multi-year trillion-dollar deficit spending. At this moment, it is likely (>50/50) that this correction phase could go sideway for many months. Contrary to previous admins since Clinton, what DOGE has been trying to do is deflationary.
Finally, contrary to my wishful thinking, Europe is in a terminal decline. The modern European history since fall of the Berlin Wall is more puzzling and painful than the fall of Qing dynasty since Emperor Qian Long, in terms of magnitude and velocity. My generation has essentially witnessed the whole second half in a dynastic cycle, for we were already from bottom up during our formative years in China. But to modern Europeans, I cannot imagine there is not yet revolutionary impulses anywhere.

All of the technologies you described are vital for world peace. I suggest you have some more random thoughts on how it could be applied
Self driving vehicles, with drones and robots in them? Connected by satellites and 5.5G to AI’s? You can’t think of any security applications?
Edit: Just try to imagine a Taiwan scenario once China already has 10 million humanoids and a million flying taxis in the civilian sector. A military AI controller could coordinate all these to fly to and land around Taiwan simultaneously.
