What has not been reported on MSM in the West is the apparent holding of
South Indian Students as hostage by Ukraine for whatever reason, which
Modi had asked Putin for help during Putin's discourse with Macron just a
day ago. This cannot be untrue, given that Modi had to take this up
with Putin on this matter in particular.
Because India abstained
from voting against the Russians at the UN, that is undoubtedly the
prime reason that they took the students hostage. What Henry Kissinger
said is so true that 'to be an enemy of the USA is dangerous, to be it's
friend is fatal'
India, a member of QUAD, now knows the reality
of sleeping with the Anglo Saxon White Curse. perhaps not having learnt
their lesson from history. Japan and South Korea cannot ignore what is
happening to India. The USA had already been antagonised by India buying
Russian arms and this move by India of abstaining from voting, is a
clear support for Russia but just left unsaid, and is the straw that has
broken the camel's back. Confrontation between USA and India is
imminent.
The other issue not reported or discussed much on MSM
is the International Criminal Court now investigating war crimes by the
Russians in Ukraine. The question people are asking is, where was the
ICC when war crimes were being committed by the USA, Australia, Britain
and other Whites in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and right now in Yemen.
Investigations
cannot be cherry picked and should be fair and open in every
conceivable circumstances and on all perpetrators. As I understand, the
USA itself just ignored the ICC findings against it not too long ago.
They just brushed that decision aside because it is against them. So,
the ICC's action is just hogwash, uncalled for and tainted. The ICC
should just go to sleep as it is no longer a credible global
organisation, full of double standards.
In any case, using
Ukraine civilians as human shield, just by issuing them guns and asking
them to fight professional soldiers, is as much a war crime as any, no
matter how well trained some of them may be. In any case they have to be
considered as combatants and death is expected and a natural
consequence. This is perhaps the constant interest and hyping about
civilian deaths, all of which are combatants and have probably been
classified as innocent civilian deaths and is nonsense and misleading.

After diplomats representing 22 missions, including countries in the European Union along with Japan, Switzerland, Canada, the UK, and Australia, called on Pakistan to drop its neutrality and join them in condemning Moscow, Prime Minister Imran Khan lashed out at the foreign diplomats for pressuring Pakistan to join the UN resolution condemning Russia over its military attack on Ukraine, accusing the envoys of treating Pakistan like “slaves.”
ReplyDelete“What do you think of us? Are we your slaves... that whatever you say, we will do?” questioned Khan.
Pakistan, along with 34 other countries, abstained from voting on the UN’s resolution condemning Russian “aggression against Ukraine” last week.
Singapore on Saturday imposed unilateral sanctions against Russia, which U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, Jonathan Eric Kaplan, described as "courageous actions".
More than half of the world's population didn't condemn Russia and wouldn't sycophantly toe the US/Western line.

ReplyDeleteThose indians in eastern europe are the 4th tier or 5th tier. Collateral damage nevermind.
ReplyDeleteThe good indians come to Singapore or US. We are so welcoming --- nice condos for you to stay courtesy of MNC expat salary & allowances. Plenty of cheap maids for you to hire. Cheap & good indian international schools all over S'pore island. Minimum starting salary of $5,000. So many nice & comfortable jobs, not enough workers. Singapore having labour crunch. We need more good indians coming in.

ReplyDeleteI was really impress with Imran Khan in an interview (I forgot to take note of the video site) he had with one lady, talking about Pakistan's long tension with India. He was particularly irked by India's hyping up it's Hindu superiority complex and it's disdain for Pakistan's Muslim population in general. "What is the point of trying to be a superpower while ignoring the plight of millions of Indians living in abject poverty", he retorted..
ReplyDeleteKhan was deeply impressed by China lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, which he said should be the priority of any Government. His one wish was to follow what China did for Pakistan.
What support for the USA and NATO can be summed up as 'A Coalition Of the Coerced'. Much of the purported support are based on threats and coercion. Pakistan is just one country being coerced to join them. They are badgering China too, insidiously trying to drive a wedge between China and Russia. Who else in ASEAN is poking the Russian bear?
ReplyDeleteIf the strategic alliance between Russia and China remain, the USA cannot do a thing about Ukraine and Taiwan. They need to split the two in order to confront each of them separately. That is telling, because the USA and it's allies know that they cannot afford to fight a two front major war against two strong nuclear powers.
It was the USA and NATO that drove Russia into a strategic alliance with China and that strategic alliance was to counter the USA and it's allies. It is highly beneficial for both countries, working on the basis of the understanding that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
If Ukraine joins NATO in a last ditch attempt by NATO to up the stakes as they threatened to do, full scale assault by Russia will follow. Ukraine will be 'wrecked' for good, whether or not Russia takes control.
Who in ASEAN is poking the Russian bear? - that little red dot !
ReplyDeleteBeijing May Divert Water From Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet to North China as Food Security Prioritized
ReplyDeleteChinese President Xi Jinping said Sunday there was no room for complacency in food security in the turbulent global climate and China could not rely on international markets.
Xi told the members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: “Vigilance in food security must not slacken, we must not think that food ceases being an issue after industrialisation, and we cannot count on international supplies to solve the problem.”
Self-sufficiency was also on the agenda in the throes of the pandemic and changing international relations last year when Xi said it was a “strategic baseline” in terms of key commodities, such as agricultural products, minerals and energy.
He ordered cadres at all levels of the Communist Party to be responsible for maintaining food safety and stabilizing domestic output of grain so that “the rice bowls of the Chinese people are filled with Chinese grain”. He ordered the creation of a national food security production belt and construction of more irrigation and water conservation infrastructure.
Vast regions, especially those in the northern part of China, suffer from water scarcity worse than that in the dry Middle East. China may divert the precious water resource that is flowing in the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet to its vast Northern regions for irrigation and crops growth to augment the country's food sources.
The trans-boundary river is know as the Brahmaputra in India.

DeleteColored People Suffered Racism During Ukraine Escape; Western Media Silent
ReplyDeleteEscape exposes deep-rooted racism and white supremacy the West upholds
As the ongoing crisis in Ukraine continues, people of color like Africans, Indians, and Arabs who have lived in Ukraine and are trying to flee the war seem to be treated unfairly by the West, fully exposing their white supremacy and hypocrisy, and has drawn criticism from people around the world.
Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a British Nigerian lawyer, was one of those who spoke up in an interview with China's Global Times and bravely expressed their indignation.
"The reality of the matter is that whenever it comes to issues that pertain to black lives, and lives of ethnic minorities, the West just wants to sweep it under the carpet. The root cause is simple: It is white supremacy, a deeply ingrained culture of racism in the West, and all they are doing is enabling more of this," Mos-Shogbamimu said.
Black people trying to escape the war in Ukraine recently posted in social media that they have been treated in a hierarchical way - Ukrainians first, Indians second, and Africans last. Many claim that people of color have experienced racism during their journey leaving Ukraine, including being threatened and beaten, or even being shoved and pushed off trains.
Mos-Shogbamimu noted that what has persisted throughout the current turmoil in Ukraine and will further lead to the misery of the non-white population is that some Westerners believe that some people are superior to others purely because of the color of their skin. "This is why, in a deep humanitarian crisis, racism can still show its ugliness because those who are meant to be helping and serving to get people out safely people have a racist mind-set, and Western mainstream media have selectively ignored the disclosure made by personal accounts held by Africans, Indians, and Arabs who have experienced discrimination," she said.
"The focus and the narrative of Western media on the war in Ukraine is absolutely different from the reporting of the wars in Syria or in Afghanistan. Words like 'civilized' have been used to describe Ukraine, while other war-torn countries have been called 'developing' and 'third-world' places. In the eyes of Westerners, wars should not take place in a "civilized" Europe. The flames of war should only burn in the "uncivilized" third world, and the wars launched by the US and its European allies should not be stopped and criticized," she said.
Civilian deaths in the Afghanistan war were over 71,000 and the numbers in the Iraq and Syrian war were over 190,000 and 35,000, respectively. Nonetheless, there was seldom any anger or criticism from the West. However, the exploitation of the Ukraine crisis in the past few days by the West has been more intense than with the conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen in the past few years.
Singapore on Russia's ‘Unfriendly States’ List

Russian companies wishing to work with firms from countries which oppose Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine will have to receive government permission for the deals, the press service of Russia’s Ministry of Finance said on Monday. Permission will be granted by the Government Commission for the Control of Foreign Investments. It includes representatives from Russia’s Central Bank (Bank of Russia) and the presidential administration.
A Russian resident company or foreign company from an “unfriendly state” must apply for permission for any business deal.
