Good News, bankrupt America opening two more military bases in Greenland
Saudi Arabia claimed control of Bab El Mandeb that USA failed to do so
We know very well that the Houthis can target ships in the Gulf of Aden as well which is its front yard, not just ships passing through the Bab Al-Mandab waterway. So, what is going to change regarding the Saudis now controlling the Bab Al-Mandab? That stretch of water is not going to be navigation free from now onwards, whether under the Houthi's control or Saudi Arabia. The same as the Strait of Hormuz. If you believe in the gloating, no proof is necessary. The proof lies with shipowners and insurers.
Saudi Arabia had fought a long, drawn-out war against the Houthis before, supported by the USA. Did the Saudi's win that conflict? Now that the peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia are fracturing, it is going to be back to the bad-old-days. One side needs the Bab Al-Mandab staying open for its oil exports, the other side cares two hoots about closing the Bab Al-Mandab. Who is more desperate is not difficult to see. The Houthis will just sit around and wait, nothing to lose and no oil exports to care about.

China must keep American AI out, just like keeping American chips out
AI is going to be another avenue for the USA to spy on China after being cut-off without access to 5G. We all know that all the tech giants in USA are all connected to the USA Government and any information about China can be used to compromise China's national security. The USA Government is investing big in those entities, with the ability of using such AI apps to benefit the USA Government. Such connection between the USA Government and the private sector tech giants is not an issue to others, but Chinese companies which have little connection to the CPC are gloated to be so and sanctioned. The double standard application is so evidently clear and needs no further proving.
The USA Government is trying to prevent USA consumers from using Chinese AI for the same reason of national security. What is not revealed is in what way. Obviously, they know just as much about the issues and know that China could do the same to USA AI models trying to access the Chinese market. So, they must come up with a thorough excuse to make their attempt of keeping Chinese AI models out of the country convincing.

Angmoh tua kee or Pinkerton Disease still prevailing in Singapore
I say this once again, many jobs in Singapore do not need to be filled by foreigners. And these are good jobs that any Singaporean with a decent mind, even a daft Singaporean, can fill them, Unfortunately, because of the angmoh tua kee or Pinkerton Disease, these good jobs often were filled by angmohs or foreigners.
There is no need for a foreigner to take the top jobs to run parks, gardens, the zoo or the museum where the exhibits are about Singapore where Singaporeans know best or better than a foreigner, ... public utilities and services, medical services, tertiary institutions. There are jobs like running supermarkets, kopitiams, bus companies, taxi companies or even SIA that don't need foreigners. In SIA's case, Singaporeans have proven to have done very well, better than foreigners, to make SIA one of the best airlines in the world. Somehow, there is a strange feeling that some jokers are toying with the idea that foreigners would run SIA better than it is today. And eventually the foreigners will claim that they built SIA into a world best airline. Would the imbeciles be thinking of recruiting foreigners, oops, new citizens, to run for political offices, as ministers or PMs?
SIA is the face of Singapore, how Singaporeans run the best airline in the world, competing with the very best in the world, without foreign talents. The horror story is that some imbeciles maybe thinking of hiring more foreign talents to replace the daft Singaporeans to run SIA. If that happens, if Air India takes over the running of SIA instead of SIA taking over the running of Air India, it will be the end of SIA.
The imbeciles have forgotten who built and transformed Singapore into a First World city state and are in the process of replacing daft Singaporeans with foreign talents, believing in Third World narrative that they built Singapore into a First World city state. If the foreign talents are that good, they would not be here hunting for jobs, or their countries would be better run than Singapore. Do not underestimate the stupidity of imbeciles.
There is also a story circulating in the banking and finance industry, that Singaporeans are not good enough to be bankers and they should be replaced by foreigners especially at the top management level. They have forgotten that Singapore was already a financial centre in its own right, run by Singaporeans before foreigners were brought in to replace Singaporeans. Now the story, foreigners are the ones that made Singapore a financial centre, foreigners made local banks into world class banks. If this silly trend continues unchecked, all the local banks will be taken over by foreigners, especially those from third world villages.
Many businesses in Singapore, including bank managers, are not much different from running a chicken rice stall. Everything is Singaporean, local, the products and services, the customers and competitors are Singaporeans and local. The locals would have many advantages over the foreigners. Then why the clamouring for foreigners and international experience that meant nothing to a chicken rice business? A local bank manager is competing with another local bank manager in Singapore, not in the international market.
Singapore, especially govt depts, ministries, stats boards and GLCs should consciously reserve good jobs, top jobs for Singaporeans and no need to offer these positions to angmoh tua kee or foreigners. There is no reason for doing so except some silly vanity perceptions that foreigners look better for the organisation. You need a foreigner to run a supermarket? You need a foreigner to run a park or the zoo, or the museum?
Tiok boh?
PS. Singapore banks are rock solid and safe because Singaporeans set the banking rules and regulations based on our values and culture. And the Singapore banks are run by conservative, honest and trustworthy Singaporeans. No funny businesses and no clever accounting and practices. Caveat, when banks are making easy money like casinos, be frightened, be very frightened.
American terrorists are spying on everyone
I do not know the possibility, but it looks like such action is one way of getting information for blackmailing leaders like Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron among others. Which is why they are so tolerant of the USA.
Now, allowing Huawei 5G network to be used in Germany, France, UK and Europe would probably deny the USA the ability to continue with the spying on their leaders, based on the 4G network. So, the mantra was and is Huawei is a national security risk. For whom? Denying the USA the ability to spy on others is a national security issue for the USA to continue having a hold on European leaders. The USA propaganda machine works so well, that the world does not have a counter and the propaganda sticks like everything else..
Putin said that what the USA did to others itself, it will accuse others of doing it to them. The USA can interfere in the internal affairs of others using the CIA and NGOs, but any other country cannot interfere or even comment about the USA, for example in its election. We all know the long running story about Putin interfering in the 2016 USA election that Trump won. Four years of investigating came up with nothing, and Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedy show had a field day making fun of the connection.
Actually, Trump was harping on the Chinese involvement after he lost the 2020 election. Russia and China are always the whipping boys for anything happening outside the normal in the USA. And the rednecks and hillbillies lapped it all up like a blockbuster movie.
