Who have lunatic Trump hurts in his dumb wars?

 Trump's trade war, tariff war, hot war are now coming home to roost. All the hypes and duplicities about how clever these wars are, Art of the Deal, easy to win, and yet not a single win but harming America and Americans are all there under the sun. Who have benefited from Trump's wars and who have been hurt by them? Actually there is no winner. Even Trump's good friends are not winning, unless you accept that the invasion of Venezuela and the capture or Maduro and wife is a big win, big trophies to be paraded.

Trump's wars have hurt many Americans and also American allies. Every victim is gritting in pain, suffering in silence, not protesting, afraid to protest. Were they hoping that tomorrow will be better, that the clumsy and silly wars and policies of Trump will bear fruit, and all will be fine, America will be great again?

The most glaring and pathetic losers and victims of Trump's wars are his supporters, the agriculture and poultry farmers. The grower of soya beans, wheat, corn, producer of meat and food. Many have been bankrupted with century old farms inherited but force sold. Poor bugger, paying the heavy price for supporting a clown who does not know or cannot understand what he is doing.

Every American, the average American, those that lived from paycheck to paycheck, are taking the brunt of Trump's tariff war. Prices of everything is up, except their income. They either live with less or have to find cheaper substitutes. Their dependence and children are the main victims. Even the homelessness and jobless are not spare. In good times, the average American could spare them with some spare cash or food. These average Americans are now struggling to make ends meet, nothing to spare for the downtrodden.

It is not only the average Americans or the pensioners/retired that are paying for Trump's stupidity. The factories, businesses, supermarts, grocery shops, cafes etc etc are also closing. Cannot afford the price hike of everything, the material costs and the cruel persecution of immigrants, no more cheap labour.

The biggest victims are the high tech and chip manufacturers. Trump is cutting them off from their biggest customers. For the moment they are still in high heavens because of the temporary hike in AI chip demands. This will come to an end, the effect is like a jab of fentanyl or cocaine. When the high is over, the lost of the China market, and the supply chains from China will be the harsh reality they have to face. They are not just losing their Chinese customers, China will be their fiercest competitors, under cutting everything they are selling to the world, in price and quality and with over capacity.

Oops, I almost forgot about the legendary automobile industry. They will be history. Without the cheaper parts and components and EV technology from China, they have just hit the end of the road.

I am not going to talk about the harm done to America's allies in international trade. Trump's order to forbid them to buy and sell to China is equally deadly to their businesses. ASML, Nexperia are good examples. Europe is in recession for obvious reasons. 

Thanks to this empty head D grader in the White House. Everything he touches is a disaster. Now he is in a corner, desperate, outwitted, clueless, and resorting to basic instinct, animal instinct, to bite and tear up enemies and whoever is in his way.

Trump is hurting everyone, enemies and friends, and his daft support base in the midwest, the equally unthinking farmers. The only good thing that Trump has done and is doing, is to bring down the evil American Empire in double quick time. Trump is losing all the wars he has launched and still pretending and gloating that he is winning, he is unstoppable.

China - reverse hire purchase deals

 When someone wants to buy a big item asset like house or an expensive car but with insufficient fund at hand, he can still take possession of the house/car for immediate use by hire purchase, making monthly instalments over months or years. Get an expensive item immediately and take time to repay the loan.

China's commercial deals with the Global South countries are based on the same formula. The Global South countries are always short of funds for big projects that cost hundreds of millions or billions. They needed money to pay for these projects. China can offer them the money, ie money becomes the big item asset. China can 'sell' the big loan to the Global South countries and get paid by instalments over years. The Global South countries can get the big loan immediately to fund whatever projects or needs of their countries. And they can pay back by instalments in kind, ie raw materials, oil, minerals etc.

This is the reverse hire purchase agreement with the loan/money as the big asset item, repayment in kind, not by money. Another way of looking at this transaction is that China will pay in advance for goods, eg raw material, oil or minerals, and the seller will deliver his goods by instalments. 

Such transactions can be seen in different ways or described in different forms. But the mischievous Americans and western media would demonise this as a debt trap to attack China. But when they do the same thing to the Global South countries for centuries, using the same formula but charging very high interest rates, they would not want to talk about it. The real debt traps that the Global South countries are caught in were from the expensive loans given by the West and their banks. Many Global South countries have been kept poor by these white men's debt traps for decades, paying and paying but cannot ever pay back their debt.

China's reverse hire purchase agreements were the best deals the Global South countries could get from the world. And they know. They are not stupid. They compare notes and the terms and agreements, and will end up choosing to take loans from China or BRICS. 

The mischievous whites cannot hide the truth for long. They cannot keep on believing that the leaders of Global South countries are stupid and can be duped by their lies. Their credibility and devious schemes have been exposed and no longer trusted by the Global South. The money colonialism is ending with China offering cheaper and better terms for loans or payment in advance...and with no political strings and coercion.

Why is Trump so hard on his good friend Modi?

200 countries were told either to go to Washington to negotiate over those tariffs which was the easy way, or Trump will use the hard way relying on extortion to make them pay.

150 countries just ignored the call and were reported to have been served the extortion notice. The irony is that those extorted countries just ignored the extortion letters. Now what?

However, the best part of the whole thing was twisting the facts by using the claim that the USA administration actually could not find the time to negotiate with each and every of the 200 countries, when the real reason was that not many of the countries even wanted to go to Washington to kiss his arsehole, except the cronies and colonized states. That was when the extortion letters were needed to be used to no avail.

But India was reported to be begging Trump, with Modi pleading with Trump - 'Sir, please can I see you' hoping to get a good deal. Instead, India is now reported to be facing a 500% tariff for buying more Russian oil and Palki Sharma is breathing hell like a women scorned.

Oops, the Indians will be really mad at me.

Trump lives in the twilight zone

Trump does not know the difference between reality and make believe. The man lives in the twilight zone.

All the months of gloating about a peace deal in Ukraine being close, then closer and then closest never materialized. All the hundreds of countries lining up to kiss his arsehole over tariffs and deals that he was gloating about never happened. All the done deals he had with China were all made up by him unilaterally, with China and Xi just letting him blow his trumpet. All the magnificent exploits of the military in Venezuela were all done by bribing traitors who opened the doors for him to rob. Just like taking candy from a kid. What kind of magnificent military expertise is that?

I could not reconcile the economic news coming out of the USA. On the one hand job creation is not happening without factories being attracted to the USA, while job losses by the thousands are happening and yet the narrative is that unemployment claims are falling. How in the world is that possible? What are those who were laid off depending on? It can only happen in the USA, the exceptional country.

Venezuela is NOT falling but United against the evil Americans

 Trump and his clowns think that by kidnapping Maduro, the Venezuelans will rise to bring down Maduro's govt. After all the American clowns have been spreading the lie that Maduro is a dictator, not legitimately elected, a destroyer of Venezuelan economy, a drug lord, very unpopular and whatever. Only the Americans and the CIA operators that are fabricating these lies are believing in their own lies. The truth about the popularity of Maduro and his support from the Venezuelans are surfacing. There is no uprising or public demonstration against Maduro and his govt. The deputy President Delcy Rodriguez have been sworn in as an interim President, not President. She vowed that Venezuela will not be run by the Americans or foreign power. Venezuela belongs to the Venezuelans. She will only be the interim President awaiting the return of President Maduro. 

After the initial shock, the Venezuelans are standing up, picking up from the mess and uncertainties to unite as a people against the foreign aggressors.  The traitors that are working for the American invaders are shocked at this development. The uprising they expected, just like the fake Guaido rebellion, did not happen. Without public support, the traitors can not do anything. They are now in hiding. Coming out now to offer their country to the Americans, to let the Americans steal their oil and independence would be suicidal. The mood of the Venezuelans is fiercely for independence.

Trump is now loss as to what to do. All his bluff about talking to Venezuelan leaders and being invited to steal Venezuelan oil are all hallucination. No such things. Trump also tried to push the oil executives to move into Venezuela, sacrificing them if necessary. The oil executives did not take the bait. They are all smarter than this D grader and can see through his silly ploy...wanting the oil for Trump's family. Why put out their heads to be chopped.

Desperate Trump is now turning to backup plan, a second attack on Venezuela. Trump has ordered all Americans to leave Venezuela immediately, including his CIA operators claiming that Venezuela is dangerous place. Dangerous for who? For the Americans, not the Venezuelans. The Venezuelan nationalists are forming militia, erecting road blocks to hunt and kill Americans and CIA operators. They are hunting for Americans.

The trouble of Venezuelans is not over. They must also dig out the traitors that betrayed Maduro. As long as the traitors are still in power, they could turn against the Venezuelans at any moment. These are very powerful people, to be able to order the three arms of Venezuelan forces to stand down, not to fight or fire at the American invasion, only directing the American fire against the Cuban detachment as a distraction, killing Cubans, not Venezuelans.

One bright spark for Venezuela, Trump is facing a big crisis at home and may be removed from power. The Americans are turning against this American Hitler and his Storm troopers that are trained to kill innocent and unarmed Americans, lying that they, the heavily armed killers, are being threatened by unarmed Americans, even women and old folks. The vicious lies of lunatic Trump and his killers are now exposed and indefensible. It is lunatic Trump and his Storm troopers that are threatening the Americans and American allies and neighbouring countries.

Trump may be impeached and jailed before he launches another attack at Venezuela or other countries.
