Trump is a rogue that loves war when he thinks he can win ... I am being too generous to use the words 'he thinks'

 Still being mesmerised by Trump and western rhetoric that Trump is a man of peace, did not like wars and knows what he is doing? A precis of what Trump is, he is a rogue that cannot think strategies, cannot see further from his nose. His actions and decisions were simply based on what fanciful thoughts first came to his numbskull, like a mafia boss. Oops, apologies, the mafia bosses are much smarter.  Trump acts at the spur of the moment. When it failed, did not work, he simply backtracked and forgot about it. Some may interpret this as being a smart ass, logical thinking and flexible. To Trump, everything can work or cannot work, doesn't matter. No need to sweat the small stuff. His ideas are the best or be forgotten, not mistakes.

The recent wild adventures of Trump speak clearly of what this lunatic is all about. He is everything, he is nothing. Some called him a man child. He is like an adolescent street bully, behaving like one, acting like one without any need for real deep thinking. His best moments when his numbskull goes wild are in the early morning hours when he could not sleep and has no one to talk to.

The invasion and kidnapping of President Maduro could not come from a sane thinker but a thug. It could turn into a disastrous war. The attack, actually the intent to destroy Iran and kill Iranians, is the behaviour of a beast. Trump does not think anything about going to war. As long as it fancies him and he thinks he can hit anyone as he pleases, he will do it. Now this attempt to wipe out Iran is dragging Trump into a quagmire and this mafia did not think it is best to pull out, for a person that supposedly is against war, but keeps digging in, double his stakes against all the good advices of his generals. This man is not just insane. He is incapable of understanding the consequences of his actions. How many Iranians, Jews and Americans and others have been killed because of his stupidity, his nonsensical whims and fancies?

Trump keeps bragging about bombing this and that, killing this and that, taking this and that, without thinking he is walking naked. America no longer can do as it wants to demand compliance and surrender from other states. His enemies are no pushover. Only a simple minded lunatic will jump into a war that he cannot win without totally destroying both sides.

Mad Trump is amassing more soldiers to deploy in Iran. Yes, this silly 'not for war' rogue is going in with boots on the ground. He is doubling down like a gamble in a losing streak. Trump is against war? If unrestrained, this lunatic will drag America in a war that all Americans will regret and end the evil American Empire for good.

Trump go Trump. Attack every country that you want, go to war with every country that you want. You are very powerful. Use all the power in your hands, swing your dick to hammer anyone you dislike. No need to think. A silly unthinking child can do it, so can you. Yes, children are much smarter, only the silly and unthinking ones like Donald Trump will go to war without thinking, no need to think.

Spending billions to kill 'bad people' and to protect tankers through Hormuz!!!

 Drunkard Pete Hegseth was in his elements, after a few drinks and told the American people that he needs a few hundred more billions to kill bad people, meaning Iranians and Arabs and Muslims. To this drunkard, he and his hillbillies are good guys doing the killing of bad people. Now, how many silly brain dead and unthinking will just accept this silly rhetoric without questioning who are the good people and who are the bad people? The people doing the killing are the good people, the victims being killed are the bad people?

Take a step back, before 28 Feb, the Iranians were living peacefully, minding their own business. The oil producers were busily refining their oil and exporting them, making profits from their sales. The tankers were sailing freely through the Strait of Hormuz, without being harassed.

Now what? Who started to bomb and kill who? The good guys killing the bad guys or the bad guys killing the good guys by calling the good guys as the bad guys? Now drunkard Hegseth is demanding hundreds of billions more to kill more 'bad' people according to his definition. Trust a drunkard? Trust a gangster?

Drunkard Hegseth is blaming Iran for oil refineries being bombed and destroyed. Who started the bombing and destruction? If the evil American terrorists did not bomb Iran and Iranian refineries, all the refineries would not be bombed or destroyed. All the tankers carrying oil will be sailing freely and happily through the Strait of Hormuz, without the need for any protection from American warships.

Now these tankers cannot move freely through the Strait and needed to be protected by warships! Why should there be such problems when there was no problem at all, no need for protection? There was peace in the region until the white savages started to bomb Iran and kill Iranians.

And European countries and oil importing countries are also told to send their warships to protect their tankers. How silly! Does the drunkard Hegseth know that these countries do not need to do so as their tankers were safe and sound transiting the Strait?

Chinese tankers are safe to move freely through the Strait, no need protection from Chinese warships. The only fear is being hit by American terrorist warships. As for the Europeans, Japanese, if they dared to send their warships to the Strait, they will be seen as enemies of Iran and not only their tankers will be sunk, their warships will also be sank. Does the drunkard Hegseth know what he was saying, what he had done and now have to spend hundreds of billions, including the lives of American boys and girls when all this needs not be necessary? The European and Japanese are caught in a bind created by the drunkard and his terrorists, do they die, don't do they also die. They are still having their oil, their tankers can still pass except those of the AngloSaxon and Israeli tankers. Once the Europeans and Japanese sent their warships into the region, there will be no more oil for them. Period.

Drunkard Hegseth is as crazy as his mafia boss, lunatic Trump. When there was peace, they brought in war and killings and instability. Now asking their allies to send in their military and warships for peace?

Who are the good people, who are the bad people? Who is going to send more American boys and girls to kill Iranians and to be killed by the Iranians? If the Americans are not going to stop the savages in Washington, American boys and girls deserve to die and come home in body bags if they are lucky, or blown to pieces, with no body parts to bring home. 

Wait for the Muslim world to call for a Jihad against the American, AngloSaxon and Israeli terrorists worldwide when they will be unsafe around the world.

Israel is cancer. Iran hitting Diego Garcia...4,000km away

Scott Ritter minced no words saying that Israel is a cancer that must be eradicated in order for the world to have peace. Very strong words from someone who has seen the evilness of some countries around the world.

I always wonder why Hitler hated the Jews so much, but despite that, did not finish what he set out to do, which many around the world are asking? The Israeli cancer has been allowed to grow so malignant that the world is now finding it difficult to find a cure for it. From wanting a pound of flesh, the Jews are asking to be allowed to commit genocide against all other races so that they can survive to the exclusion of others. Antisemitism is no surprise for me, after seeing Israel committing such cruel behavior that most of the world cannot tolerate.

Trump now talks about considering winding down the war against Iran like switching off the lights in his White House office. It is now not for him to decide at this stage. Iran has refused to take up a ceasefire call, and Trump is trying to put across the boasting that his switching off of the war power does not include a ceasefire. What is he blaring about?

We know about his boast that he can just take over the Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal, but at what cost and would the Iranian just say thank you. Iran will rain missiles on every oil terminal, desalination plants, nuclear plants in the Middle East that have any connection to the USA. Oil terminals, desalination plants and nuclear facilities in Israel will be legitimate targets as well. These infrastructures are now unprotected by patriot missiles, THAAD batteries and whatever sling shot that have been rendered blind and ineffective. Iran has so far done what they said they will do. Trump and Israel better hope they do not go too far in attacking Iran's infrastructures.

By the way, Trump has been gloating about having taken out Iran's air force and naval force and rendered them useless. Many people have been saying that Iran did not have an air force nor a naval force in the first place. So, what is Trump boasting about? Like his great invasion of Venezuela that was given to him on a platter.

Iran is not Afghanistan, not to talk about being another Venezuela

A few interesting points from my short trip to China

 Two seniors in their 70s went on a free and easy holiday in China, covering Nanjing, Changsha and Guangzhou, total 8N/9D. No rush and moving around by high speed trains, taxis and DiDi and relying on Trips.com, Alipay and Wechat to get around.

The most expensive taxi fair was from Nanjing International Airport to our hotel, 60km and costing 423 Rmb or about S$80. We started to use more DiDi and the fare for 30km, about an hour ride is about 50 Rmb or S$9. Subway travelling was a big surprise. In Changsha, above 65 got to travel free, even for foreigners. This is not the case in Guangzhou, but a day ticket valid for 24 hours costs 20 Rmb or less than S$4. Tickets were booked through Alipay in the comfort of our hotel room using mobile phones. No physical tickets needed. Entry by scanning the passport. Please book at least 4 or 5 days in advanced as they are sold out quite early.

Nanjing Train Station

Changsha Train Station

The two trips in high speed trains from Nanjing to Changsha and Changsha to Guangzhou cost 1,800 Rmb and 1,200 Rmb respectively or about S$300 and S$200 for first class. Second class ticket is half the price. First class seats are very spacious and comfortable. No free food but a bottle of plain water and a box of local snacks. Meal at 50 Rmb was quite good with 3 meat, 1 veg and rice.

Seniors have many privileges. We were able to gain entries to many tourist attractions for free. The famous Hunan Provincial Museum that housed the exhibits from Mawangdui, famed for a 2,000 mummy with very well preserved living tissues was very enlightening and educational. According to reviews online, entry has to be booked one week in advanced. As seniors, we could walk in on the spot with no advanced appointments, and free, just by showing our passports.

Canton Tower

The highly popular Canton Tower, rising to 488m and max 688m if antenna height is added, is also free or at half price. Above 75 years, one could go up to 107 floor, 408m for free. There are 4 more floors to top floor at 111 and accessible by stairs. I climbed to 108 floor and did not want to venture further. There are a few sets of oscillators to manage the swaying movement of the tower caused by strong winds and earth rotation. It was quite steady at 107 floor though one could still feel a light motion under the feet. 70 year old seniors have to pay 150 Rmb to reach 107 floor.

Young Mao and the continuous stream of visitors in a cold rainy day.

Sun Zhongsan's Mausoleum from half way mark, looking up.

Looking down from near the top of the Mausoleum 

Among the places we visited were Mausoleums of first Ming Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang and Sun Zhongsan, Old Ming Palace, also Palace for Hung Xiuquan of Taiping Revolution and turned KMT Presidential Palace, Mao's Hunan University in Yuelu Moutain, Mao's statue in Orange Island, Wuyi Square and Dufu Pavilion in Changsha. We were at Foshan to visit the old temple that housed items belonging to Huang Feihung and Ip Man. Foshan also has a long history dated to the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Ming first Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's Mausoleum, about 200m from the gate

Our best restaurant meals were in Guangzhou and Foshan. At a famous 100 year old Guangzhou Restaurant in Shangxiajiu, we had a fairly large Guihua steam fish for 198 Rmb, about S$30. We had about the best roast goose in a Kejia restaurant in Foshan, better than what we had in Taotaoju in Guangzhou during out last trip. It cost 68 Rmb, the size of a big chicken. Thick and juicy with a good layer of fat, and crispy skin.

The Chinese people are having a good time, with the young out every night dressed in the latest fashion or in traditional dresses of different dynasties and make ups. The seniors formed about 50 percent or more of visitors in tourist spots. In the evening, on weekdays, as early as 4pm, they can be found in the parks playing with their grand children, if they are not in some group activities like dancing.

The Chinese people are living well, eating well, driving the best EVs at very affordable prices. Theere are also many Mercedes, BMWs, Porches etc on the road, but fading fast. The taxi we took to the airport was big, brand new, and the driver/owner paid 110,000 Rmb for it. That is about S$20k!

Trump digs at mamasan on how to start war without declaring war...well what is a mamasan for?

 During the mamasan's visit to the White House, Trump did not give her any face. While answering a question from the media, Trump took a dig at the mamasan ... not with his fingers. Trump told the media that Japan is an expert in starting a war without making any declaration. No one is better at surprises than Japan, insinuating the sneaky attack on Pearl Harbour by Japan. Trump was justifying his undeclared war with Iran by using Japan as a precedent, right in the face of the mamasan and her entourage, to the amusement of the media. What is a mamasan for? Paid to be insulted, abused, humiliated and dig and still put on a smiling face.

This unexpected and unpredictable attack by Trump caught the mamasan with her pants down.  Oops, she was wearing a skirt this time. Just wondering what went though her head when hit by Trump's dark jesting. To laugh or to cry? She pretended not to understand the meaning but here facial expression was uncomfortable. Trump was rubbing her, not physically, reminding her of Japan's sneaky attack on America in front of the media. What a sick joke? Trump did not care how she felt, maybe did not know how she would feel, maybe did not even understand how this would go down to the mamasan and the Japanese delegates.

This is the kind of embarrassment that Trump would throw at his guests, guests that he did not see as an equal. He could bully them and tell sick jokes about them and expect them to swallow it, like it or not, because Trump is the mafia boss, a rogue.

Xi Jinping must take note of this Trump antic and never be caught in the same compromising position in the White House. It would take an articulate and quick thinking native English speaker to take the blow and return it to Trump in grace and eloquence. Xi is not a native English speaker, not used to speaking like slippery Americans in their mother tongue. This is a big handicap. Xi must never be set up in the same kind of position like the mamasan when meeting Trump.

Perhaps Trump might not dare to throw such a punch at Xi, but never be sure. Trump moves his mouth without engaging his brain. Hope Xi or the Chinese foreign ministry are watching this meeting between Trump and the mamasan. Humiliating a mamasan with sick jokes is ok, but not with a respectable head of state like Xi.

PS. I am back from my escapee. Happy Hari Raya Puasa to all.
