The reason why some smaller states think they can take on big countries like China and Russia is the devil pushing them behind their backs, promising help and prodding them on. Ukraine is a perfect example.
Here in Asia, it is the same story. The Japs think they can revive their glory days, not realising that China is now not the same country as in the 20th century. And who is behind the Jap's insolent behavior, even talking about defending Taiwan if war breaks out? One precision nuclear strike on Tokyo will surely shut their big mouth. The answer as to why the Japs behave as they do is that it is always the same old suspect that is prodding them on and also creating all the chaos around the world. The Japs knows that taking on China by itself is out of the question, unlike the old days.
By the way, I personally do not place too much optimism that Malaysia and Philippines will close ranks with China, looking at the developments so far. Other than trade reliance of both countries, there is much animosity between them in development projects and claims in the South China Sea. The Philippines, like India, is playing one side against the other. Do not be fooled.
If not war, the USA will create other problems, like spreading diseases, causing energy shortages by using sanctions against big oil producers to curb their production, and hope to bring them down and collapse their economy. The whole world now suffers together with those countries sanctioned with all the energy supply curbs. Ironically, the fact that none of the prominent countries under sanctions have fallen the way the USA and the West assumed they will, have not fooled the Russians and will reveal the futility of using sanctions to curtail them.
In effect the whole agenda of the Evil Doer is to create global chaos so that they can exploit it, like the sanctions on Russian oil and energy crisis. What the USA did not count on was the damage done to the EU that will weaken them and may lead to fragmentation. Forget about the talk of unity and solidarity among the EU countries on the surface. Underneath, the currents of anxiety and fear looms large going into winter.
The whole idea of the USA putting so much focus in Ukraine and Europe is the oil market that they are eyeing. Weaning the Europeans away from Russia is clearing the way for them to muscle in on the energy market in Europe. This has been apparent right from the start of the NORD stream 2 project, which if allowed to continue will kill their hopes of fulfilling their agenda. Europe is sacrificed but all that is collateral damage in the eyes of the USA.

Small states ultimately suffer acting as proxies in trying to confront big countries on behalf of their colonisers.
ReplyDeleteWho really suffers extensively in Ukraine? Not the USA and NATO, although the economic fallout is biting them hard as well. For trying to commit genocide in Eastern Ukraine against ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk, despite signing an agreement in Minsk years ago, which they categorically refused to follow, as dictated by the Power Brokers behind the scene, Putin had to intervene to liberate these two beleaguered republics mainly populated by ethnic Russians.
The USA and NATO keeps sending weapons to Ukraine and prodded them to keep fighting. Those weapons that managed to survive entering the war zone, ultimately is used to cause internal destruction in Ukraine itself while fighting the Russians. And who is going to rebuild Ukraine? Not Russia definitely.
So, who is paying the price. Paying for the reconstruction is already a big problem for Ukraine. Paying for those weapons will keep them beholden to the Evil Empire for ages to come. That by the way is one way of setting debt traps. Debt traps with nothing to show for weapons long destroyed by the Russians. Worth it?
From the Saker:
ReplyDelete“The people and the government of Ukraine, led by President Zelensky, must decide on their own the issue of the possibility of territorial concessions.” – US Secretary of State Blinken."
'We see more and more western statements that Ukraine can end the war, via loss of territories. This is sheer desperation to avoid even an iota of responsibility for the loss of lives that they caused. They don’t know how to get out, they have to get out, they have to save face for their domestic audiences in the face of a spectacular loss of prestige, so again, Zelensky is being thrown under the bus and the Ukraine is an orphan.
Russia in any event says nyet! It will be on our terms, not yours.'
'The Great Walkback is visible to all who care to look!
Now we are looking forward to the next package of European sanctions and Grandfather Joe’s great sanctions decisions, about which the authors of these same sanctions immediately begin to come up with circumvention schemes.
I will not remind you about inflation, prices for all types of fuel and forecasts for the fall of economies. All data is publicly available.
And this is only the first month of summer.
We are waiting for autumn… when we will have to collect the main sanctions harvest.'

In other words... a warning to those leaders that trusted the West - 'Winter's coming'
The Ukrainians must rise to overthrow the American puppet Zelensky and save their country and people from destruction by fighting a senseless war that they cannot win.
ReplyDeleteZelensky must be hanged for betraying the Ukrainians and destroying their country and way of life.
Germany is now complaining about Russia reducing gas supplies to them. Why are they complaining now? Germany's Olaf Schulz was so arrogant just weeks ago, telling everyone that Germany can wean itself from Russian oil and gas by year end. Oh yes, the USA is still building LNG carriers and Germany is putting up de-liquifying terminals for LNG shipments by them to Germany. Wait two to three years for that to come to fruition.
ReplyDeletePutin has not played his trump card yet. He is just testing his nuclear option by reducing gas supplies to teach the Europeans not to be too arrogant. He has not yet cut off oil and gas supplies totally. Putin does not believe in empty verbal threats. He goes straight for the jugular.
And why must China follow the dictates of the USA to condemn Russia's liberation of Eastern Ukraine? China is already in the cross hairs of the Evil Satanic State and will never stop supporting Russia. It would be foolhardy and illogical for China to do otherwise.
As most well informed analyst always say, Xi and Putin are chess players, unlike the USA and Europeans playing draught and looking no further then their noses.
