US China relations - going forward is easy if leaders are sensible adults

BEIJING: A Sino-US relationship based on “constructive strategic stability” - that was the new phrase introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping on the first day of his high-stakes summit with United States counterpart Donald Trump.

During their meeting on Thursday (May 14) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi said he and Trump agreed to make such a relationship the “new positioning” of bilateral ties, according to the Chinese readout.

Centred on cooperation as the mainstay, measured competition, manageable differences and “lasting stability” where peace can be expected, this formulation would guide China-US ties for the next three years and beyond, the Chinese supremo added. CNA

Trump's trip to China is like sabbatical, away from his savage world of wars, destruction and mass murders. It is a good respite from his insane world of killing innocent people, stuck in his insanity devoid of human conscience and compassion. The calm and civilised atmosphere in Beijing, in the Great Hall of the People may bring some senses to lunatic Trump, that the world does not need more wars, killing and destruction. Sitting down together for dinner is better and more rewarding than chest thumping and tearing off the shirt and snarling like gangsters.

Xi, in his quiet and composed manner, is trying to bring some sense to Trump and his savages, telling him that both can compete peacefully without going to war, to self destruct. The message is simple and clear. Trade and free competition without war and destruction will benefit both countries and the world. And it cost nothing, just some small change for good food and good wine. It costs much less than a Tomahawk cruise missile to make 200 people happy and have a good time.

And this was exactly what Trump was doing in China, bringing in his top CEOs, not for war, but for more trade and economic cooperation that would benefit both sides. It would be completely meaningless and a waste of time, if after leaving China, Trump and his clowns would return to their savagery to attack China all over again. It must have dawned on Trump that his trade wars,, tariffs and sanctions, are killing the American economy, hurting the American people, killing his giant corporations, the biggest victim is Nvidia, with the best and most expensive chips but no buyer or not enough buyers because of the silly policy of not wanting to sell to China. Boeing is also gravely affected. 

Now Trump is bringing Nvidia, Boeing and more than 15 top American companies to China, to sell to China, to ask China to buy from them. This makes a mockery of all the trade wars, tariffs and sanctions against China. Trump is calling for a reset, back to first base, more trade. And this is also the message that Xi is sending to Trump.

The Americans want to buy and sell to China to profit from trade. China also wants to buy and sell to America to profit from trade. Both parties buy and sell what is beneficial to them, not what they do not want to buy or sell. Free trade is the way to go and both can prosper from trade. It is basic economics 101.

What have the Americans gained from all the trade wars against China and the world? What have the Americans gained from the hot wars in Ukraine and the Middle East? Nothing. War is no longer a profitable business, especially fighting a war that cannot win or a losing war. War is draining away all the resources from real manufacturing of goods and services.

Would Trump learn anything from his trip to Beijing and return to sanity? This trip is a silent admission that his trade war has failed, lost. America now needs China badly to revive its economy and big corporations from going bust.

Israel is the king puppet master, assassinating JFK, blackmailing Trump, ordering American boys and girls to fight and die for Israel

Now the USA and Israel are dragging the UAE and Saudi Arabia into the stewing pot of Iran by throwing them under the bus, with the accusation that these two doggies were involved in the Iranian attacks. UAE and Saudi Arabia have plenty of baggage to be settled with Iran, during and after the war. Netanyahu now claims he visited UAE secretly during the war and the UAE has denied such a visit. Who is lying and who is telling the truth?

The Arabs cannot be trusted anyway. The Saudis were reported to be involved in the 911 attacks together with the Israelis, with the USA providing the loophole for the attack to be carried out for the purpose of going to war with Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan. The Saudis underwrote the costs: the Israelis provided the terrorism know how and the USA closed its eyes.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy provided an insight into why he was assassinated. The Israelis were developing the bomb at that time, under the nose of the USA, at the Dimona Nuclear center. Kennedy knew and was doggedly against the idea, and plans were put in place to monitor the ongoings at the Dimona Nuclear facilities. This did not go down well with the Israelis under Ben Guiron, the then Prime Minister of Israel. Not long after the assassination of Kennedy in November 1963, Ben Guiron resigned in January 1964. When Lyndon B. Johnson took over, Israel was quietly proceeding to develop the bomb without the further interference of the USA.

The story about Lee Oswald being the one carrying out the assassination and Jack Ruby in turn assassinating him is all hogwash, created to cover up the trail leading to the CIA that was complicit with the Israelis. Oh yes, they called the CIA involvement as a conspiracy theory, and much effort was made to deflect the accusation. The USA has all the propaganda machine to do the impossible. The same with the 911 story.

Operation Kill Iranians - Trump cannot wait, Iran can, sitting on home ground advantage

Trump's ego is so important that he is content to flog a dying horse struggling on the ground. How long can he keep up the fake facade? He could not even keep his eyes open at events, just like a drug addict.

Trump said that he does not need China to end the Iran War. Neither does Xi wants to help the USA directly to end the war. Better that he does not broach the issue when meeting Xi in Beijing. Otherwise, if the does broach the issue, it will be one big dick stuff in his mouth. Hope that Xi does not touch on the Strait of Hormuz issue as well. Both can wait, while pump prices and consumer products continue to rise in the USA the longer the war drags on.

Iran is standing by its demands and not capitulating, no sweat waiting as this is its home ground or front yard. Just keep those missiles and drones hidden and ready and its troops on the alert. Iran can now monitor USA warships and major movements from its satellite eye in the sky provided by Russia and China. Russia has much more credible intelligence that we credit them for.

If Afghanistan can survive twenty years of USA occupation on its soil mind you, and adequate logistical support, what is waiting a few years by Iran for the USA to crumple under heavy logistical constraints and human morals decaying on vessels lying around the Gulf under intense heat generated by the sun on steel plates.

US India relationship framed in a photo

 

US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shake hands as they attend a joint press conference at the White House in Washington, DC, US, Feb 13, 2025. (Reuters/Kevin Lamarque/File Photo)

Anyone still trying to understand US India relationship needs only to study this photo and it says everything. Watch the body language, the facial expression of Trump and Modi...it is as good as Modi begging Trump for handouts, pleading and pleading, while Trump was like reprimanding him for asking too much. I have given you enough, stop asking for more.

All the false pride and arrogance of Modi disappeared in the presence of Emperor Trump, not much different from the colonial days when an Indian leader appeared in front of the British lords.

Modi is the national pride of India, the nationalist and hero of India?

When Mickey Mouse states ruled the world

  When the Brits, benefitting from the advances in the first Industrial Revolution expanded overseas to conquer the world of mainly agrarian or primitive states, it was a piece of cake. A few gunboats and a few thousand soldiers could conquer tribes and countries that were still defending themselves with bows and arrows and swords. Every little European state jumped into the formula, armed themselves with modern weapons and went around the world to conquer and seize lands and assets of tribes and ancient states. It was highway robbery, banditry, piracy, in the name of the states or the monarchs.

We came, we saw, we conquered. These were lovely phrases in the western literature, in their history books. There was no crime, no crime against humanity, no human rights, when the white savages run wild around the world, committing genocides, massacres, looting and plundering countries and tribes, slavery and ruling over lesser people, called subhumans, to dispose their assets, lands, wealth and their lives. 

The rest of the world were no match against modern weapons in the hands of savages that called themselves civilised, armed with a book called the Bible, to civilise the uncivilised by calling the victims as savages and massacring them for trying to fight and defend their rights to exist.

Then followed a few hundred years of so called western civilisation ruling the world. And the subhumans of the world became the ruled, the slaves or semi slaves of the white men. And they lived peacefully, some happily, under white men's rule, white men's rule of law and white men's system. For those that benefitted from the white men's rule, they are in love with the white men, and wanting to preserve the white men system, defending the white men system, ignoring the plight and suffering of other subhumans and lesser humans under the oppression of the white men and the white men system. What is happening in the Middle East is an excellent example of this colonial mindset.

Several hundred years of white men rule has come to passe. And many subhuman and lesser countries have learned and acquired the science and technology of the whites and possessed the same weaponry as the white men to defend themselves and their countries. The white men did not make this easy, subtly managing and manipulating the coloured people using the white men system to remain the controlling power, the privilege class, by keeping the coloured people free, prosperous but never to challenge white men supremacy.

The small Mickey Mouse states still believe that they could continue with this unequal white men system, that they are still in charge, in control and domination of the coloured people. Many of the coloured people states are now much bigger and stronger, economically and militarily than the white Mickey Mouse states of Europe. Still the Mickey Mouse states think they can freely kick the big coloured states anytime they want, anywhere they want, anyhow they want with impunity, without fear of being whacked by the newcomers of wealth and military power.

The three tiny Baltic states are a joke in their own right, thinking they are white supremacist states. Holland, once the Dutch Empire, Denmark, Poland, Finland etc etc, all acting aggressively, unthinkingly that they are still top dogs in international affairs without realising that at most they are little poodles or Mickey Mouse that are totally inconsequential in international affairs. Like Britain, they are still barking very loudly, but not more than a chihuahua in realpolitik. They did not know their time is over. They still want to relive their past glorious days, that they can still call the shot. Britain today is another Mickey Mouse.

It is better that these Mickey Mouse European states take a look at the mirror and see who they really are and who the rising powers from the Global South are. Many of their colonies are now many times their size, economically and militarily. For goodness sake, stop being foolish and know where you are now vis a vis the rest of the world.

The whites, the so called superior race, cannot be as stupid as states like the little brain Philippines, to go around thumping their chests against super powers like China and Russia or Iran. See what is happening to Mickey Mouse Ukraine with the clowns running the country to the ground?
