Indonesia used to be fiercely independent and a leader of the Nonaligned Movement

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s plan to turn its underutilised Kertajati International Airport in Majalengka, West Java, into a regional maintenance hub for Hercules military aircraft at the United States government’s request could bring economic benefits for the country, say analysts.

But they also warn that the plan triggers questions on whether it would draw Indonesia closer to the US’ military architecture in the Indo-Pacific, which could be at odds with Jakarta's long-standing stance of free and active foreign policy and non-alignment. CNA

The Americans just throw a few pieces of crumb and the hungry third world countries will scramble for it, forgetting who they were, forgetting about who colonised them and who would terrorist them. For a few dollars, and a few sweet words, the Indonesian leaders are all stumbling and falling in love with the Americans, probably would offer some land for American bases in Indonesia.

The proud Indonesian people, once the stalwarts of the Nonaligned Movement under Sukarno, are still the same proud Indonesians that cherished their independence and neutrality in international affairs. But some corners of Indonesia still harbour some nests of people that are still romantising being colony of the white men. White men are white gods. They will crawl to want to kiss the ass of white men. They will be easily swept away by the the lies and sweet words of white men.

Just hope Indonesia will not be another ASEAN state to become crony of the American Empire, or be like the Philippines, offered free Pinoy land to the Americans, to be administered by the Americans under American laws, not Pinoy laws. Hope Indonesia will not send their Indonesian boys and girls to fight the Iranians on the side of the Americans and the Israelis. Hope Indonesia will not be seduced by the Americans to want to collect tolls for ships in the Straits of Malacca with tacit support from the American terrorists.

The Americans are very good at throwing a bone to the hungry and unthinking, that think only of little short term benefits but forgot about the long term, the big picture. The Arab and Muslim countries have had enough of American control and manipulations and are distancing themselves away from the American terrorists.  Would Indonesia be the new eager beaver that will jump to embrace the American terrorists and invite them into the region?

After waiting outside the door in Washington, this may be a good chance to be invited to the White House for tea. A facility to repair military aircraft is the first step to a military presence with American soldiers and CIA operators..

Operation Kill Iranians - White men speak with forked tongue

The world's number one and number two terrorists going behind closed door to plan to kill Iranians, Arabs and Muslims.

TRUMP EXCLUDES ISRAEL FROM NEGOTIATIONS

Trump, who launched the war alongside Israel in February, has been trying to reach a negotiated settlement with Iran, while excluding Israel from those talks.

He has publicly prodded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from actions that could scupper the talks, including by holding fire in Lebanon, which Israel invaded in March in pursuit of the Iran-aligned Hezbollah movement.

Iran says it will not agree to any peace deal with Washington unless a ceasefire also holds in Lebanon. CNA

The American media as usual has been selling the narrative that the American terrorists led by lunatic Trump are peace makers. They are negotiating for peace with Iran, even excluding Israel, but sending two Jews, Witkoff and Kushner as negotiators.  Any unwary readers reading American propaganda machine articles will get away thinking how wise and sincere the American terrorists were and how lunatic Trump is trying to get a peace deal with Iran. The simple truth, as in the first sentence in above quote, it was Trump and Netanyahu that launched an attack on Iran in Feb 2026, using the same lie like WMD,  that Iran was near to having a nuclear bomb. This lie has been spread by the American and Israeli terrorists for years as an excuse to attack Iran, while America and Israel both are in possession of nuclear weapons.

The socalled ceasefire negotiation is a hoax. They should be negotiating for peace, not ceasefire which is temporary. And the negotiation is all about Iran surrendering all uranium it has and dismantling its nuclear power plant plus many other conditions. The American terms for a ceasefire is a complete surrender by Iran, to let the Americans control and rule over Iran. It is not a fair negotiation, it is a one sided negotiation. Worst, the American and Israeli terrorists cannot be trusted for any agreements signed. They will rip it off anytime they like. It is a wasted effort, negotiating and trusting rogues, gangsters and terrorists.

Iran should simply call off the negotiation and demand the withdrawal of all American forces in the region including compensation for the wars, for the destruction and lives lost. Negotiation is an American trick to deceive the Iranians while they are planning and restocking for a bigger attack.

The attack on Iran is now on and lunatic Trump is threatening to hit Iran with more savage and deadly weapons. This has been the American's position all the time, all the time.

Join the Americans and fight China...and become beggars

The USA never appreciate nor be thankful for any help given by any country and assumed it is all warranted and demanded because it is the remaining superpower.

During the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 and USA facing financial meltdown, China helped to stabilize the situation but was in return given the wrong end of the stick with the USA's repeated attempts to make China collapse, with sanctions, fabricated genocides in Xinjiang, regime changing attempts in Hong Kong, attacking Hong Kong's financial system after 1997, resorting to trade wars, tariff wars and technology strangulation.

There was also all the mantra about de-coupling that the USA thought was the straw that was going to break China's back, but it backfired and now no more talk about decoupling. Now, it is China wanting to decouple and we are seeing that happening, with Chinese exports diverted elsewhere and China putting every priority to be free of USA control in technology, the last bastion of USA's attempt to cripple China. Do not underestimate China's resolve when it decides to take things into its own hands. There is no such thing as truce, ceasefire, walking back and forth and dilly-dallying. China's policy is one straight-forward road when it formulates its mindset.

The Europeans, despite sacrificing its well-oiled economic standing, was forced to hollow out its manufacturing due to the cutting off of cheap Russian energy, a position in the shoes of China after the financial crisis of 2008. Now the Europeans are stuck with energy bills about four times more expensive than the cheap Russian energy before the Ukraine War. And to make sure the Europeans never get back to Russia for cheap energy, the USA destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines. The Europeans thought that helping the USA to kick out cheap Russian energy to be replaced by USA energy was going to be a godsend and a smart move. Now they are stuck. It was so stupid having to borrow a USA rope to hang themselves. Now, what is Trump doing, erecting tariffs against EU products, adding insult to injury, instead of being thankful and appreciative.

Who is still paying $30,000 for a few pieces of leather stitched together and called it Birkin?

When China was still poor and could be kicked around, the West, particularly the USA took advantage of its low wages environment to outsource manufacturing to China. It was killing two birds with one stone. Firstly, the USA wanted to export its pollution and environmental issues to China and let China handle the global demonization, while it enjoys cheaper products just printing toilet papers in exchange. Secondly, the big USA manufacturers saw the huge potential of the Chinese consumer market that gave the USA companies opportunities to make tons of money manufacturing and paying low wages and selling their products worldwide. China was the goose that laid the golden eggs for the USA and the West, but greed made them killed it.

The USA only saw and hyped up the huge trade deficits that the country suffered against China, tallying what the USA bought from China and what China bought from the USA, ignoring the hundreds of billions their manufacturers made from their manufacturing base in China and selling their products worldwide and also in China. How much did the Chinese workers made for each iPhone manufactured in China and how much did Apple made selling that same iPhone worldwide? The Chinese workers made pittance while Apple reaped all the benefits. I am just talking about Apple in China alone.

We have now also seen the branded goods made cheaply in China, with the Chinese manufacturers unravelling the scam and all the money made by those top brands selling the Chinese made products at exorbitant profits, just by sticking a label on the product. Now the Chinese are no longer going to play the game, preferring to continue to make the same product to sell to the Global South countries. After all they are still making the same profit margin. The days of ripping off Chinese manufacturing are over and big brands are suffering. How bad it is, I am not sure. Of course, they can always find alternative sources to exploit, but quality and costs cannot be taken for granted.

How can the Chinese bear the insult by one drag queen's outburst that Chinese 'peasants' made cheap goods for the USA consumers to buy and then using the US$ that they are paid in to buy USA treasury bonds. That insult had repercussions, with China now selling less and less to the USA, while no longer having the excess US$ to buy USA treasury bonds. I think this is what the drag queen did not foresee nor wanted, but China is delivering its answer to her (him actually) on a platter.

Xi Trump relationship - A master play of deception with eyes open wide

 What is the true relationship between Trump and Xi? Trump has been blaring to the world that Xi is his best friend, they have very good understanding of each other, they can work together. How real is this? Superficially, Trump has been very polite to Xi whenever they met, and claimed that they have been calling each other very often to talk about issues and differences. Trump gives the impression that Xi is the only leader he really respect, including Putin and his other good friend, Kim the Rocket Man. But once in a while he would make a slip and made unglamourous comments about Xi and Putin.

In reality, Trump and his regime have been attacking Xi and China everyday, everywhere, every hour. There has been no let up in containing China and bringing down China and also Russia and North Korea. China is about the only country that has been receiving sanctions, attacks and bans for its companies, entities and individuals. The Trump regime has a large propaganda machine and a big army of staff just to monitor every move of China, from political, military, finance, culture and everything under the sky.

Xi on the other hand has never called Trump his best friend or anything like that. Xi is just polite and doing everything according to political protocol and the dignity and decency of his office. Xi has never said a bad word about Trump despite all the attacks by Trump and his rogue regime. Xi took every attack by Trump no matter how despicable and shameful in his stride and just work around it, without directly confronting Trump with an eye for an eye approach.

Xi knows that Trump and his American terrorists are provoking and agitating him towards an open hot war. Xi took the provocations and blows quietly, refusing to engage Trump in a punch for a punch, giving Trump the impression that China can be whacked and attacked whenever he wants and would not hit back, a big sign of weakness. Xi just dodges, blocks, avoids, walk away, but responds through other means and ways. This is a strategy that Mao used in the past, you fight your war in your own way, I fight my war in my own way and my own choosing. No direct military confrontation so far as long as the provocations from the Trump regime did not hit China's core interests.

What is sure, and happening quietly and consistently and persistently, is China's decoupling from America in every field. Xi also works with a slew of organisations to compete and challenge Trump's aggressive moves, in other fields other than military means. Trump is all about showmanship, trumpet blowing, chest thumping, fist waving. Xi is all about control and quiet long term planning and execution, to win the contest with America without having to go to war.

There is no love lost between them. Trump is all about facade, wearing a smiling mask. Now Trump is starting to increase his attacks on China and Chinese companies, banning all chips export to China...without knowing that China does not need any American chip but exporting its own chips, cheap and good, for the rest of the world. And Trump sent a drunkard clown to Singapore to tell the military and diplomatic leaders to arm against China.
