When a particular race or country continues to be a habitual and persistent liar, the lies are not going to work or be taken at face value any more by those with saner minds.
Again, it is important to mention the lies they concocted leading to the war in Vietnam and Iraq, which should have put others on full alert that nothing they spouted has any element of truth and should be believed.However, we should understand that doggies will still have to stand behind them, tolerate and believe and even defend all those lies, because they have to. Most Allies or 'All Lies' are now lead by stooges put there by the Evil Power and totally controlled by them.
Biden is now personally flying to beg Saudi Arabia to produce more oil to help the USA stem the rising oil prices going through the roof. Biden ostracised and demonised the new Saudi King earlier, and now has to eat humble pie by faking closer relations with the new King. As always, they demonised Dictators who cannot see eye to eye with them, but as soon as such Dictators stand on their side, the 'demons' will be immediately exorcised, and they become democratic, and gets invited by the devil to their Democracy Forum and all those shit. Never mind, their skin is impenetrable to what we Asians call shame.
If the new Saudi King fails to comply, we can expect much turmoil within the Kingdom, as there are other forces vying for power which the USA will exploit for sure. Will the new King of Saudi Arabia crumble under the threat? We shall see.
And unbelievably the USA is talking about removing some sanctions on oil exports from Iran and Venezuela, which is begging their enemies to help as well. This is how serious the energy crisis is now, though they still painted a rosy picture of their ability in getting substitution for Russian oil. But begging oil producers, even enemies, to produce more oil clearly shows the reality and not the rhetoric. Winter is not far away, and desperation is setting in.
Iran and Venezuela better keep in mind that such sanctions on their oil exports will be re-imposed once the oil crisis and Ukraine issue is over. They can bet their last penny on that. So, why should they step in to help the devil in disguise, knowing they stand to be punished later on?
At the same time, they are talking about removing some tariffs on Chinese imports imposed during Trump's trade war. Most of them will be consumer products, not essential products like steel and aluminium. So, it is a selective removal just to lower the inflation figures, but tariffs is only one of the factors causing inflation. Unmitigated money printing, that is not fully absorbed by the rest of the world in trade deals, which are migrating to other currencies, is also the bigger contributor. The USA is awash with money chasing after scarce goods, which is going to get worse when China's lockdowns is going to disrupt the supply chain in the next couple of months. They knew what effect China's zero COVID policy will do to them and they did the necessary by demonising it day and night.

Hi Morning All
ReplyDeleteThe UAssA thought that they are the Emperor of the World and they are the Saviours and Heros of All in the last WWII just with their two lam par low grade A Bombs
So they can offend anyone and all must not take slight of them.
Dotard Trump openly said and that's the main agenda in the wars of the M. 3. ID
Sorry too fast send by itself.
ReplyDeleteOf the M. E. is for their Oils.
He blurted without going thru his dumb brain that our troops in Syria had secured the oilfields.
Luckily we have the oilfields. The Senate can thick skinned said have we modernise the oilfields. That's mean have we stole all the oil for us?
Calamity Joe has brought misery to the Europeans and it is also backfiring on his own evil country as well.
ReplyDeleteIf they had the misguided belief that sanctioning Russia, Iran and Venezuela will enable them to corner the oil and gas market in Europe and elsewhere, they are mistaken. Europe had been able to grow strong economically with decades of dependence on cheap Russian oil and gas. With the cutting off of Russian oil and gas and migrating to much more expensive energy from elsewhere, Europe will face serious trouble trying to be competitive going forward.
Russia's cheaper oil and gas will be diverted Eastward to China and India in particular, and these are two countries that are competing with the EU and USA now and in future. It does not need anyone with a little grey matter to know which side will perform better down the road.
'Is the proxy war in Ukraine turning out to be only a lead-up to something larger, involving world famine and a foreign-exchange crisis for food- and oil-deficit countries?
ReplyDeleteMany more people are likely to die of famine and economic disruption than on the Ukrainian battlefield. It thus is appropriate to ask whether what appeared to be the Ukraine proxy war is part of a larger strategy to lock in U.S. control over international trade and payments. We are seeing a financially weaponized power grab by the U.S. Dollar Area over the Global South as well as over Western Europe. Without dollar credit from the United States and its IMF subsidiary, how can countries stay afloat? How hard will the U.S. act to block them from de-dollarizing, opting out of the U.S. economic orbit?'
'The choice confronting Global South countries: to starve by paying their foreign bondholders and bankers, or to announce, as a basic principle of international law: “As sovereign countries, we put our survival above the aim of enriching foreign creditors who have made loans that have gone bad as a result of their choice to wage a new Cold War. As for the destructive neoliberal advice that the IMF and World Bank have given us, their austerity plans were destructive instead of helpful. Therefore, their loans have gone bad. As such, they have become odious.”
'irst, reject the sanctions and reorient trade to Russia, China, India, Iran and their fellow members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The problem is how to pay for imports from these countries, especially if U.S. diplomats extend sanctions against such commerce.
There is no way that Global South countries can pay for oil, fertilizer and food from these countries and also pay the dollar debts that are the legacy of U.S.-sponsored neoliberal trade policy subject to U.S. and eurozone protectionism. Therefore, the second need is to declare a debt moratorium – in effect, a repudiation – of the debts that represent loans gone bad. This act would be analogous to the 1931 suspension of German reparations and Inter-Ally debts owed to the United States. Quite simply, today’s Global South debts cannot be paid without subjecting debtor countries to famine and austerity.
A third corollary that follows from these economic imperatives is to replace the World Bank and its pro-U.S. policies of trade dependency and underdevelopment with a genuine Bank for Economic Acceleration. Along with this institution is a fourth corollary in the form of the new bank’s sibling: a replacement for the IMF free of austerity junk economics and subsidy of America’s client oligarchies coupled with currency raids on countries resisting U.S. privatization and financialization takeovers.
The fifth requirement is for countries to protect themselves by joining a military alliance as an alternative to NATO, to avoid being turned into another Afghanistan, another Libya, another Iraq or Syria or Ukraine.'

One event that has not been talked about much was the protest in Kazakhstan not long ago that many suspect was a regime change orchestrated by the USA.
ReplyDeleteWhy it failed was the intervention of Russia. Kazakhstan and Russia had a security agreement that allows Russian troops to help Kazakhstan in crisis and they used that to bring in Russian troops to quell the regime change attempt. It was a smart move and one that no one could raise questions about foreign interference, since it was enshrined in a security agreement. Not even the UN can say anything was wrong with it.
It is therefore quite apparent that security agreements do provide security for small countries under threat with regime changes. That is why the Solomon Island is such a big deal for Australia and the USA.
Dedollarisation could turn the American dollars into banana currency. This would help the poor countries that owed debt to the West in US dollars. They can then pick up the banana US dollars from the dustbins to repay their debt to IMF and the West.
