Would the American terrorists turn around and stop committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocides, bullying as they celebrate its 250th birthday?

SINGAPORE: As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, its latest attempt to project itself in Southeast Asia has been dressed up in pomp and circumstance. From performances in Singapore to cultural exhibitions in Cambodia, the US government is trying to tell the world that America is back, and great again.

But what Southeast Asian governments care most about is not the pageantry. It is whether the United States remains a reliable partner they can plan around.

The events of the past 18 months showcase how Washington’s actions have made that question harder to answer. The region can adapt to a transactional America, but it will struggle with one that is no longer predictable enough for Southeast Asian governments to make decisions on trade, technology or security. CNA

The above from an article by Kevin Chen in the CNA tells the mindset of Anglophiles towards the American terrorists. All they can see is a country that is unreliable and unpredictable. Not a word about the crimes against humanity committed by the American terrorists around the world, particularly the killings of Iranians, Palestinians and Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East, ignoring the daily killings of Latin American sailors, fishermen, picnickers by indiscriminate bombing, death without trial, death because the American terrorists said they are drug smugglers without the need for proof.

No need to mention the embarrassing bullying of countries by sanctions, bans and threats for trading with countries the American terrorists declared as enemies. The Anglophiles, especially those in SE Asia, are still living as if they are in the glorious days of the western empires, when conquests and rules of white men are the normal and decent things. White men can commit no crimes, even invading countries, commit massacres, plunders and lootings, and colonised people and robbed their countries. White men are the darlings of the Anglophiles, the angels that deserved to rule over coloured men. Only coloured men commit crimes even when they did not do so.

This is the year 2026, and the mentality of the Anglophiles is still the same. Do not see or hear or speak about the crimes of the white men. How many millions and billions of coloured people have been massacred by the white men over the last 500 years? No, zero, the white men do not kill wantonly, savagely, like they did in Iran, killing religious leaders, schoolgirls, and not to mention, the massacre of the Palestinians that is still going on with the blessing and full support of the the American terrorists.

In its 250 years of existence, would the American terrorists reflect on their crimes against the whole world, against humanity? The least is for the people of the world to put a mirror right in their faces and show them the barbaric crimes they had committed and still committing. Stop fawning over the white men by turning a blind eye to their savagery and barbarism. They are still living like the apes of the past, when killing to survive, to rule over others are the way to live, not peaceful co existence among peoples of the world based on equality and mutual respect, not white men superiority. The Anglophiles may still want to take the position that white men are superior to them and keep on kissing the ass of the white men. 

The truth is all out there. The white men are the evil race, the threats to world peace, the mass murderers, the oppressors that still want to rule the world under their own terms, over the coloured people of the world, including ruling and bullying the Anglophiles.

It is unlikely that the white devils will change after 250 years of uncivilised ways of life. They will continue to make wars, manufacture lies to justify wars to continue to kill and kill and kill, including killing Anglophiles, no exceptions because Anglophiles are also inferior coloured folks. The world must rise to bring down the white men superiority complex to end this discrimination and senseless killings of coloured people, to be ruled by the white men. The Anglophiles would love, they cannot see anything wrong kissing the ass of the white men, and be satisfied with the crumps under the table left over by the white men.

American terrorists fighting tooth and nail to control oil and dollar hegemony...what rubbish nuclear threat from Iran

Trump has to find ways to keep oil prices down. Even a fake deal can do the job pretty well. We all know the oil situation going back to normal is not that simple, as logistics have been destroyed and needed to be replaced and repaired. These are not like things built with Lego Bricks. They take years to be repaired and put back to normality. The Middle East right now is hardly peaceful and normal.

The USA is desperate to keep the world fixated on oil, as the world will have to continue to hold US$ to buy the oil. Which is why the USA wants to seize all the oil to maintain the survival of the US$ hegemony. The USA had already seized the Iraqi oilfields, the Venezuelan oilfields, already holds control over the Middle East producers and wants to add Iran to its control.

Qatar is breaking away from OPEC. The USA is not a member of OPEC and wants to see the bloc breaking up, otherwise the bloc controls the pricing by using its members to either increase of decrease supplies. Moreover, oil is now also sold in Yuan by some Middle East oil producers, which is an affront to the US$ hegemony. The USA wants to be in that dominant position as OPEC to dictate the direction of oil prices.

Before Venezuela was robbed of its oil, sales to China were already in Yuan, which was a nail in the de-dollarization coffin. China was also buying oil from Iran in Yuan, a second nail in the US$ coffin. Then, there is Russian oil also sold to China in Yuan. These are not small potatoes chipping away at the US$ hegemony. They are big de-dollarization moves that the USA feared.

USA and its allies are trying to pull another 'Plaza Accord' on China

The USA and its allies are trying to pull another 'Plaza Accord' on China, trying to force China to revalue the Yuan upwards to curb its exports. China is not going to play by USA and Western rules unlike Japan.

China does not have to play by USA and Western rules, unlike Japan that in 1985 had to depend largely on the USA and Europe for its exports. China is already moving away from the USA and Europe, focusing on expanding trade with the Global South. Why would China cut its nose to spite its face when it can continue to export cheap things to the Global South, leveraging on its currency that the USA and the West claims is too cheap. It is a bonus for the Global South for China to stick to the status quo, albeit a cheaper Yuan.

A cheaper Japanese Yen could have helped Japan actually, but Japan is no longer the kingpin in the export sector anymore, other than vehicles, which is also facing severe headwinds. The Plaza Accord actually made the Yen very expensive and that was the straw that broke the camel's back, with Japan unable to crawl back from the stroke of lightning that crippled its economy for decades. It was a sacrifice for the USA, just like the sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese from the two nukes dropped on Japan earlier.

Why foreign investors were quietly reaping profits from investing in China?

 Anyone heard of foreign investors complaining about unfair practices and bad treatment by China? Anyone heard of foreign investors being fined by ludicrous laws, backed dated laws, forced to change contractual terms along the way? China as a nation has carefully cultivated an image of respecting rules of law and contractual agreements, even Unequal Treaties. China could have taken back Hong Kong and Macau long before the expiry of the terms of the Unequal Treaties. China stayed the course and allowed the Treaties to run their full course before taking back these colonial occupied territories. Since the opening up of China, many investors have happily entered and exited China without facing undue pressure or unfair legal entanglements. And despite all the cries by the American and European imperialists, the private sectors from these countries are forming a beeline to invest in China. Even Japan, China's enemy number one, is thickly invested in China despite all the hostilities and enmities.

China is still the number one choice destination for many investors from America and the West for obvious reasons. Safe, predictable, reliable and profitable. Whatever political nonsense, derisking, decoupling, the big corporations are staying put in China, continue to want to invest in China. They have found value in China and have never been cheated in China. This is the fundamental difference that makes a big difference in FDI, making China a happy and safe place for foreign investors.

Compare to what China is doing and treating the foreign investors, the horror stories are plentiful for investors putting their money in third world countries. Even Chinese investments are victims to silly politicians that think robbing and raping foreign investors are their birthright. The standard playbook, after all the agreements are agreed and signed, the third world low thinking leaders would want more, would want to change the terms, would want to cut prices. And some came out with more devious ways, invoked archaic laws, enact new laws and apply retrospectively, to fine the investors in the millions or billions. Oops, the so called first world leaders, the white men, are no exceptions. All the evidence are there, especially among the Mickey Mouse white men countries. The number culprits are the world's number one terrorist state, the USA.

To many third world politicians, foreign investors are the fat goats coming in to be slaughtered at will and to be sent fleeing with only their pants. They cannot appreciate the capital foreign investors brought in, the technology, knowhow, professional skills, the supply chains, the logistic networks, the jobs they created, the contribution to supporting businesses and their GDP. All this does not matter to the third world tiny brain politicians. All they want is daylight robbery on home ground. Money invested and sunk, cannot be extracted or if extracted, will be at great losses. This is the playbook of low thinking, low education and low IQ third world political leaders. They only know of short term personal interests, not the long term benefits of the country and people.

Why would countries put their good money in sneaky third world countries, called investments, only to be robbed and sent to the cleaners? Many American and western investors took China's safe and rules based system for granted, enjoying the good returns, but not wanting to show their appreciation of the good times they have/had in China.

Third world countries that think short term, to rob and rape their investors, must know that this cannot last and the investors would get wiser. Cheat me once, cheat me twice, but not thrice. China is the role model for foreign investments. This is the model for success and long term investments.

Rare earth is everywhere, even in cowdung. Mining rare earth in space is a sick joke

Mining rare earth in space is a sick joke. They can't be mining and refining them in space, right? Now, even building refining logistics on the ground is a non-starter and have to rely mostly on Chinese expertise. How realistic is the talk about building those processing logistics in space?

So, the USA and its allies can continue with the rhetorics and the fairy tale. It goes nowhere and fools no one. China will just let the roosters crow standing on the heap of cow dungs. Cow dungs are a dime a dozen in India by the way and there is another good use for it.

By the way, Trump said that by this year or next, the USA would have so much rare earth dirt that it does not know what to do with it. He is right, because piling up the dirt is one thing but getting to the bottom of what to do with it to extract the essential elements is another. So, why is there a need to source for rare earth in space, I wonder? The man can coax a bird down from a tree but has no idea how rare earth ores are going to become useful magnets. A pile of dirt is a pile of dirt. What China has achieved is there for all to see. What USA achieved is all only apparent on twits.

Now we are seeing desperation all around, with Japan and India talking about cooperating in rare earth procurement and processing to counter China's dominance, after the recent sanctions by China. The Japanese Yen just collapsed to 162 yen to the US$, really reaching for the banana note status that we are familiar with. Oil imports for Japan are going to be highly expensive, and manufacturing cost are going to soar for Japanese products. This is bad for Japan. Japanese living standards are going to be a pain, but they will continue to have to bear the misery.

One warning though for China. A desperate Japan is dangerous. The USA found out the hard way. China should watch the Japs closely. They are militarizing and have ulterior motives for doing that.
