🇺🇸💥 Trump’s Strike on Iran Just Sent a Message to Beijing And Around the World 💥🇨🇳

Trump has made himself unpredictable. He acts decisively. That makes dictators FEAR.

This wasn’t just about Iran’s nukes—it was a warning to China.

🧵Thread:

2/ On June 21–22, Trump ordered airstrikes that obliterated Iran’s key nuclear sites.

Now Beijing knows:
✔️ U.S. bombers can destroy hardened targets
✔️ China’s imported air defense systems didn’t work
✔️ Underground bunkers aren’t safe

That’s not just a defeat—it’s a warning.

3/ China experts are openly saying it:

“Trump acts decisively—if he says he’ll strike, he won’t hesitate.”

“Dictators can’t predict him. That’s why they fear him.”

“Taiwan’s not safe just because you hide in a mountain.”

4/ The CCP watched as:

▪️ Israel assassinated top Iranian generals
▪️ Iran’s Russian and Chinese-supplied air defenses collapsed
▪️ U.S. bombers took out Fordow—a 90-meter-deep facility under a mountain

If Trump can do that in Iran, what does that mean for Zhongnanhai? HA!

5/ Reminder:

🔺 China’s own military command bunkers under Western Hills sit 60 meters below ground
🔺 The U.S. has defended Taiwan since 1949
🔺 Xi Jinping’s dictatorship relies on the illusion of invulnerability

That illusion just cracked.

6/ Meanwhile, the CCP is fuming:

They condemned the U.S. and Israeli strikes as “violations of Iranian sovereignty”

Translation: They’re terrified that Trump just set a precedent. And that if they move on Taiwan—he’ll do it again.

Because he absolutely will.

7/ And it's not just that. Trump demonstrated in the Israel-Iran War that his deadlines MATTER.

That's a lesson that won't soon be forgotten, not in security matters and not in the trade talks.

8/ If Trump can break Iran’s nuclear ambitions overnight, imagine a real war with China.

Not a pretty sight...for the CCP.

It’s not just about defense. It’s about deterrence.

And China just got the memo.
