CIA Director in Moscow looking for another Gorbachev

 The highly reported secret but not secret trip by CIA Director Rarcliffe to Moscow is all over the front pages of western media. And everyone is offering their diagnosis of the obvious, another breakthrough ala Henry Kissinger with China leading to a breakup in the China Russia partnership against the American hegemony.

The assumptions, the Russians are still and forever as stupid as before and they will find a gullible and naive Gorbachev, the ever trusting Anglophile that believed in every promise the American said. This time the offer would include a return of Ukraine to Russia, Russia's membership in NATO and a return to G7. Russia will be friend again! All sanctions will be lifted, all frozen assets returned, back to square one, meaning the Americans did not offer anything at all.

Can the Americans sell out Ukraine and clown Zelensky wholesale? Why not, these clowns have served their purpose and no longer useful, unable to achieve anything further, waiting to be buried by the Russians. And the bigger prize, China.  Russia will be offered the whole of Asia as its area of influence. What a great offer! The next Gorbachev please stand up. The most reliable and trustworthy American terrorists are making another great offer to the Russia people, like a new Warsaw Pact, with China and aside thrown in.

The Americans are great deal makers. Trump is not the only one. Now Ratcliffe is rising as the next Kissinger with a great and ambitious plan to rule the world, and temporarily ceding Asia to Russia. And he knows the Russians are still as stupid as Gorbachev and would take the bait. Ratcliffe is having his wet dream too early.

China must be worried and wary of the great secretive American plan being splashed publicly all over the American and western media. Read my lips, they said. This is secret but no secret. The CIA Director did not go to Russia to kiss Putin's ass. He may be silly but not Putin or Xi, unless he wants to sell out the USA like Trump to Israel. Would Ratcliffe be making a deal to cut out Trump and end the war in Ukraine and the Middle East? Short of a total withdrawal from Ukraine and the Middle East, there is nothing worth talking. He thinks he is important but Putin does not think so.

The days when the Americans can spin all the lies they want and with many silly believers believing in them is over. No one trust the American terrorists anymore, not their silly spins and childish game of monopoly. Ratcliffe is no Kissinger, Putin is no Gorbachev. China and Russia are not enemies but closed allies, both are victims of American aggression, sanctions and expansions, to be taken down one at a time.

BRICS is quietly eating the breakfast, lunch and dinner of the US$ hegemony

BRICS is quietly eating the breakfast, lunch and dinner of the US$ hegemony, while the West keeps demonizing the bloc, hoping to kill its de-dollarization campaign. Keep thinking that BRICS is just a minor irritant, just a fly buzzing around the ear to be swatted away and the problem will go away.

BRICS working formula is just like what China did in the past. Deng Xiaoping told the Chinese - 'Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead but aim to do something big'. That warning was heeded and is now paying dividends. While the USA thought the Chinese will always be chefs and laundrymen, was itself fixated on forever wars and fighting terrorism, China was quietly powering ahead with its own industrial revolution.

China, over the last forty years, never flout its hidden strength and agenda. It was all about eating humble pie and not retaliating to expose its strength too early. When Xi announced that China had big plans about being self-dependent by 2025, the USA and the West were taken by surprise. China by then already had in its hands the control of many sectors of the global supply chains, the raw materials needed for its industrial agenda, the economic functionality of its widespread bridge building, and particularly its rare earth logistic monopoly and its factory of the world reputation. Not a hype, not to threaten but to tell the world China has arrived.

It is no longer going to be the country suffering another century of humiliation. That is over. China is taking back what belongs to it in the very distant past, when together with India, it was to be the biggest economy among all nations.

Sure, China's rise may not be permanent or long lasting like all others, but providing the world with the means to move away from the USA is more than enough of a mission to be accomplished.

Chinese economy collapsing, but chalking up record trade surpluses. American economy collapsing but Wall Street record high

If the Chinese economy is slowing down, how come China is chalking up record trade surpluses year after year? Just printing money like the USA to give a semblance of growing? Such printing of money would make the Chinese Yuan lose value fast. But the Chinese Yuan is strengthening, so what happened? In fact, China has always been accused of keeping the Chinese Yuan artificially low, well below its actual worth and should be kept higher.

Oh yes, Wall Street is at all-time highs every other day. So, the USA should be doing extremely well economically. Good luck to the investors.

Scott Bessent has been boasting about the economy growing out of its deficit. Holy smoke how is that mathematically possible with the USA growing at just 2 to 3%, while servicing interest rates on its long-term bonds are hovering at around 5%. The USA needs to grow above 5% to grow itself out of its deficit.

Horror, it is so disturbing that a bounty is put on Barron Trump...wow, wow, wow so disturbing! Really?

 

31 minutes to show how the American terrorists were so terrified, so shock, so frightened, so irate, that a bounty is put on the head of an American boy. But the American terrorists did not bother about the killing of Khamenei, about killing the 168 Iranians school girls, the thousands of Iranians massacred by the American terrorists, and not shocking or disturbing for Trump to tell the world he is going to kill all Iranians!

See how hypocritical are the American terrorists in suits and ties. Don't they looked silly? No, they don't. The silly ones are the ones that would not condemn the American terrorists killing everybody they want around the world.

This threat, if true, is the best thing coming out from Iran. It will encourage the Israelis to kill Barron and push the American terrorists to invade Iran, even when they know the Israelis were the one that killed Barron. Good job, Iran or Israel, to spread this lie.

To the fuckin Americans, killing Iranians is a good thing because Iranians are bad people and the American terrorists are the good people. Killing Americans, the good people is shocking and very disturbing. The sickos in America are a majority.

Air India starts to skin SIA

NEW DELHI: Air India is seeking about US$1.5 billion in fresh equity from its owners Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines (SIA), months after the second-largest Indian airline posted a record annual loss, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

It would be one of Air India's largest publicly reported requests for shareholder funding since Tata took control of the former state-owned carrier in 2022. It highlights the challenges facing the airline as it undergoes a multi-billion-dollar revamp, including the refurbishment of its existing fleet.

The carrier and its budget unit Air India Express posted combined losses of US$2.33 billion in the fiscal year ended March, more than double the prior year's losses. The losses have also weighed on SIA's profits.

"Air India wants the funds immediately, though the infusion is likely to happen in tranches. SIA would need to contribute its share of the proposed infusion for the investment to go through," one of the sources said. CNA

Having been snared and trapped inside the net, SIA has no where to run but be skinned over and over again for as long as Air India wants it.  Air India is as good as saying, we lose money, SIA pays. This is standard Indian playbook on show. But no worry, Singapore has many good Indian contacts and can work out a deal through the back door, just like the previous victims. Instead of US$1.5 billion, the Indians would be kind to give a discount and be very happy with US$1.3 billion. And everyone will be happy and smiling, patting themselves on the back that they had a good deal. Be sure that this will not be the last. Robert Kuok had similar experiences, but not with India. When the leeches attached themselves to a hapless victim, there is no mercy.

Tata Sons would volunteer to pay their share quickly in a show of good faith. An excellent model partner to follow.  Just do what Tata Sons does, cannot go wrong. Is there any other clever choices available? Big question is whether Tata did pay anything at all. The whole scheme smell from a mile away.

How many big corporations and funds have been snared by the Indians and too ashamed to admit the truth? Enough said.

What would LKY do in such a situation? Remember LKY threatened to close down SIA when he found the situation too hot to handle? Air India is likely waiting for SIA to cut losses and sell its shares for a song. If not, SIA will continue to be bled forever in this investment made in heaven, from a highly profitable and well managed airline but with a big hole in Air India.  Poor shareholders seeing their dividends slipping through their fingers. How can this happen? Investing in SIA is a good choice, to make money, not to lose money! In India's case, they have found another ATM bloated with money.

What do you think? Without LKY around, how is SIA going to get out from this rut? Is SIA the only one in such a rut? Do you think Tata Sons will be paying a single cent for this? On paper maybe.
