Listen to what Professor John Mearsheimer said about how the Americans set up Ukraine to be wrecked by Russia. ( From 3 minutes onwards) And this setup was a piece of cake given a boy President in Zelensky, wet behind the ears and swallowed hook, line and sinkers what the Americans sweet talk him into it, to be tough against the Russians thinking that the Americans would back him up should Putin invade Ukraine.
What ever happened to Ukraine and Zelensky is being played out in exactly the same way to the dot, in Taiwan and Tsai Ing Wen. Taiwan is being set up like Ukraine, to be wrecked when Xi decided that she had gone too far and there is no other way out.
Taiwanese better listen to what Mearsheimer said carefully, word for word, before it is too late down the road of no return. The ending can be very painful, and may even cost a lot of unnecessary death to the people in Taiwan. Taiwan is being coaxed, encouraged, misled into being tough with China and believing that the Americans would come to their aid when China attacked. The Americans would not come to you aid just like they would not come to Ukraine's aid.
Believing in the devil would not have a good ending. Zelensky is a living testimony of this blind belief.
Singapore is another example set up by the Evil CIA to be tough, to talk big, to threaten, to censure and to sanction Russia.
ReplyDeleteTo punch above it weightless weight. What a joke.
Singappre started the joke, and the joke was on Singapore.
Singapore Has Made Russia Its Number One Enemy
ReplyDeleteSingapore spells out the details of its arbitrary sanctions against Russia and the Russian people as follows:
Earlier, Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said Singapore will impose sanctions on Russia “in concert with other like-minded countries (meaning arm-twisted by USA and EU)”, and cited the “unprecedented gravity” of the Russian invasion.
“While we continue to value good relations with Russia and the Russian people, we cannot accept the Russian government’s violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another sovereign state,” said the ministry. (This is double-talk with fork tongue just like the Whitemen)
“For a small state like Singapore, this is not a theoretical principle, but a dangerous precedent. This is why Singapore has strongly condemned Russia’s unprovoked (Russia has been provoked and threatened for past 7 long years, you see the tree and miss the wood) attack on Ukraine.”
The restrictions are aimed at constraining Russia’s capacity to conduct war against Ukraine and undermine its sovereignty.
It detailed the sanctions and measures Singapore will take in response to the Ukraine invasion.
EXPORT SANCTIONS
The Singapore Strategic Goods Control System regulates the transfer - export, transit, and transhipment - of strategic goods which are generally military weapons or their parts as well as high technology goods that could be used for both commercial and military purposes.
Items subject to strategic goods control are listed in the Strategic Goods (Control) Order (SGCO) 2021.
In order to “constrain Russia’s capacity to conduct war in Ukraine and cyber aggression”, all permit operations to Russia involving all items on the list of military goods under the SGCO will be rejected.
All category codes under Category 3 (Electronics), Category 4 (Computers) and Category 5 (Telecommunications) and Information Security on the List of Dual-Use Goods under the SGCO will also be rejected.
FINANCIAL CONTROLS
Singapore will impose financial measures targeted at Russian banks, entities and activities in Russia, as well as fundraising activities for the Russian government.
Digital payment token service providers are specifically prohibited from facilitating transactions that could help to circumvent these financial measures.
Financial institutions in Singapore will be prohibited from entering into transactions or establishing business relationships with four Russian banks: VTB Bank Public Joint Stock Company, The Corporation Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs Vnesheconombank, Promsvyazbank Public Joint Stock Company and Bank Rossiya.
Where there are existing business relationships, financial institutions must freeze any assets and funds of these four banks.
Financial institutions in Singapore will also be barred from providing financing or financial services relating to the export from Singapore or any other jurisdiction of goods subject to Singapore’s export controls on Russia.
These goods comprise all items on the Military Goods List and specified categories in the Dual-Use Goods List in the SGCO.
Financial services in relation to designated Russian non-bank entities that are involved in such activities will also be prohibited by Singapore.
Where there are existing business relationships, financial institutions must freeze any assets and funds of these designated entities. Details on the designation of non-bank entities will be provided subsequently.
Financial institutions in Singapore cannot enter into transactions, arrangements or provide financial services that facilitate fundraising by: The Russian government; the Central Bank of the Russian Federation; any entity owned or controlled by them or acting on their direction or behalf.

ReplyDeleteThe prohibitions apply to buying and selling new securities, providing financial services that facilitate new fundraising, and making or participating in the making of any new loan to the entities owned or controlled by the Russian government and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
The Singapore Government and Monetary Authority of Singapore will also cease investing in newly issued securities of the above entities.
The ministry added that financial institutions in Singapore will be prohibited from entering into transactions or providing financial services in the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the sectors of: Transport; telecommunications; energy; and prospecting, exploration and production of oil, gas and mineral resources.
They also cannot enter into or facilitate any transactions involving cryptocurrencies, to circumvent any of the prohibitions.
The prohibited cryptocurrency transactions cover all transactions that involve cryptocurrencies and extend to the payment and settlement of transactions that relate to digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), said MFA.
These measures apply to all financial institutions in Singapore, including banks, finance companies, insurers, capital markets intermediaries, securities exchanges and payment service providers.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore will issue directions to all financial institutions, setting out the details of the measures.
Singapore is a consistent and staunch supporter of international law and the principles enshrined in the UN Charter. Not true. What about the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Yemen by USA and EU? They are also independent states. Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Singapore has lost its international standing by siding with Western Powers all the time. By interpreting international laws and the UN Charter to suit its own pro-Western agenda.
ReplyDeleteIt has discarded principle of the Zone of Peace and Neutrality.
It has discarded the principle of Non-Interference in others' internal affairs.
What principles it talks about are hollow and hypothetical.
No worries. As long got money & capability to earn more money anywhere in the world. I've prepared bank accounts & properties in 2 other countries to run to in case Singapore gets too hot. In fact just spent 6 months last year in one of those countries, enjoying the open spaces & local culture, while overseeing the construction of my property.
ReplyDeleteEx-Ukraine President does such a wonderful job that he can retire to USA & live a good life if this article is true:

'Zelensky found a billion dollars and a villa in Miami'
Stooge - an obedient, compliant subordinate, underling, minion, lackey, puppet, pawn, cat's paw used by another (U.S.) to do unpleasant work like imposing sanctions
ReplyDeleteMearsheimer‘s theory of defensive realsim is adopted by our Fortress Singapore for its defence strategy. It bodes well with the old idea “If you want peace, prepare for war””Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.”
ReplyDeleteAfter independence from the USSR, the Ukraine was “con jobbed” by the Euros and the USA (Clinton) to “disarm” and get rid of their nuclear arsenal which at the time was 3rd largest in the world. Had they kept it, both Russia & NATO would have left them alone.
Don’t ever give up your guns stay at peace, i.e. be NICE to others, treat them with respect even if you don’t like them.
Should you use your guns to threaten or worse attack people without good reason, many other people with guns will organise to take your guns away.
Question: Can Vivian be arrested and charged for HIGH TREASON?
ReplyDeleteYes, he can. He has put the whole of Singapore in great dangers for a loong loong time to come. But then the PM is also complicit. So who is going to charge him? The Law Minister or the Chief Justice?
DeleteThe new thinking today must be, if you want peace, accumulate more nuclear weapons. This is a message to China.
ReplyDeleteThe USSR had been conned by the USA to trust them under the Nuclear Reduction Agreement or something like that years ago, while the USA with possession of much more of them can afford to take away some to match the reductions the Russians made under that agreement. The thing is the USA can never ever be trusted.
This has also been cleverly played out just few years back under Trump, when he withdrew USA from certain nuclear arms treaty with Russia, and on the sly the USA may have quietly taken the opportunity to increase it's arsenal since there were no treaties to bind. I believe Putin is not that foolish to stay unconcerned and could have done the same.
In any case, just look at North Korea. When it joined the nuclear club, raising it's strategic standing and in the process make it less likely to fall prey to some predators. And it just fired the 9th missile into the sea to remind those predators.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has described sanctions imposed by Western nations over his invasion of Ukraine as "akin to a declaration of war".
ReplyDelete"But thank God it has not come to that," he added.
Mr Putin also warned that any attempt to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine would be seen as participation in the armed conflict.
And he rejected suggestions that he would introduce a state of emergency or martial law in Russia.
Singapore reports 17,564 new Covid-19 cases, 18 deaths
ReplyDeleteSmart Reporting of MOH has reported only 17,564 new Covid-19 cases as of noon on Friday (March 4), comprising 17,406 local and 158 imported infections.
The real number of cases are at least two times more. Many of them have not been recorded and many have fallen through the gaps.
If you are sick, and do not see any doctor, your case is nonexistent as far as MOH records are concerned.
If you are told to rest at home because you have Covid-19, you are likely going to infect all your family members. For Omicron, this is very easily spread.
The purpose of MOH Protocol 2, treatment at home, is not only to reduce hospitals workloads but also to deliberately get your whole household infected. This is the reality of life.
