China and Russia must do the ball squeezing
The Americans are threatening Russia and China for not toeing the line to the Empire. The Empire wants the whistle blower Edward Snowden back, to be handed over to the Imperial Guards for execution. Russia and China are playing dumb, the way the Americans had been doing when they were smuggling away Russian or Chinese dissidents to the US. Russia and China are just returning the favour and doing what the Americans have been doing best.
Now what? The Americans are warning of consequences like they are going to wallop Russia and China or to punish the two countries. China was told that for not obeying the Empire, it would affect the building of trust by the Americans. This is the same thing the Americans have been accusing China for all the donkey years, that China is untrustworthy, China is a violator of human rights, China is threatening its neigbours, China is a bully, China is getting aggressive towards its neighbours. So what else is new?
China should tell the Americans to go fuck off. No matter what China does, for no matter how long, the fucking Americans will still condemn China for all the things they have conjured up all these years. The Americans are using these accusations to harass China for as long as they want to. In fact the Americans have been creating mistrust against China, with a continuous campaign to brand China as a untrusting nation. China should not bother with this international bully and its deceit.
China and Russia should just do what they deemed best, hide Snowden and ignore the threats and warnings from the Americans. By delivering Snowden on a platter will not minimise the accusations by the Americans or improve the ‘trust’ the Americans are talking about. The Americans are using all these jingos to threaten and blackmail China and Russia. Even with an extradiction treaty, it got the cheek to demand that the Russians return Snowden to the US or face consequences.
It is better for the Chinese and Russians to hold this Snowden card close to their chest and squeeze the American balls as hard as they can and let the Americans know how it feels for being squeezed. There is no reason why the Russians and the Chinese should always be on the receiving end. Play this Snowden game well, make it lasts and make the Americans understand that all can play the game of ball squeezing.
What you see is wayang lah. You don't know what nefarious horse trading is going on behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Ed Snowden, I wouldn't be trusting any government to secure my freedom.
The fucking shit can go south anytime -- for e.g. the Chinese/Russians could arrest him on trumped up charges of, say, "espionage", detain him, then trade him with the Yanks for whatever "benefit".
The only thing keeping him temporarily "safe" is the appearance of non cooperation from China and Russia. That can change any second, without warning.
If I were Snowden, I would make haste and disappear. The wayang played out in the world's media could be a smoke-screen, a "delaying tactic".
The 5-eyes US,UK,Canada,Australia and NZ are powerful Anglophone countries leh. Among them 3 G8 members, 2 UN security council members.

PAP controlled STATE-MEDIA has a TODAY THAT criticised President Putin about him being 'Panic' about the Russian economy.
ReplyDeleteOff course the Anglo-saxons are still powerful since the bygone glory of the British empire where Singapore was created.
Russians and Chinese are not ready lah!
ReplyDeleteThe English speaking powers might be toying with the idea of adding India into their ranks, having disclosed that British royalty having India DNA !
The English media including Shitty times articles, are very keen to to highlight the differences between the Chinese and Russians to create distrust between them.
This morning the BBC Spore continued to bash Germany as usual. Saying many negative things about Germany efficiency.
ReplyDeleteSpore media should have more English articles with a more neutral perspective. We could get English articles from Sweden, Germany,
ReplyDeleteS Korea. China/Taiwan, even translation from non-english newspapers.
English is supposed to be an international language hence English articles should have a international perspective NOT anti- non-english perspective in local media.
Spore afterall is independent country already.
Saw the G8 summit coverage, no speeches from the French, German,Japanese, Italian are heard on CNA.
ReplyDeleteOnly some Russian are heard.
The UK English speech was given very long coverage by CNA.
Singapore is still behaving like a British colony.
ReplyDeleteThe US should just respect its' citizen's right to live freely; freedom to express, to travel, to fraternize, to criticize and appreciate etc.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy and hence freedom is the greatest ideology the US is ever respected for. So, the US MUST UPHOLD AND RESPECT SNOWDON's Human and Individual Rights.
And also the Rights of Sovereign Nation.
Just let them talk lah. They are well known for no action talk only. Maybe thats the best. They never act correctly most of the time.
