Strange bedfellows with baggages of painful history

 

Picture credit to Global Times

The above pic may appear normal to the unwary viewers. If you under the history of these three countries, their sitting together in the same table is as bizarre as you can get. The Japanese conquered the Koreans and subjected them to inhuman treatment and atrocities for almost a hundred years. The pain and suffering and humiliation of the Koreans by the Japanese are second to none. Korean women were arrested as comfort women for the Japanese soldiers during WW2. Could the Koreans forget this shame committed by the Japanese on their women?  What would be in the minds of the Koreans when they see their President sitting there with the Japanese PM like good friends, all the humiliation and aggression forgotten?

And the Japanese were defeated by the Americans in WW2 and Japan is still a colony of the Americans, so is South Korea. Every year the Japanese would remember the two Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese, many suffering great pain and agony, ordinary Japanese civilians, young and old, that did not die instantly, were burnt badly or suffered from radiation that attached to them for life. The annual remembrance day is not just to remember the death and victims of the Atomic bombs, but to remind the Japanese of a blood debt inflicted on them by the Americans.

The Americans had their humiliation and pain when the Japanese bombed them to pieces in Pearl Harbour after Christmas. Several thousand died, but not in the scale of the Atomic bombs and the carpet bombing of Tokyo and many big Japanese cities. The Americans were the winner despite some losses. They are still the colonial masters of the South Koreans and the Japanese.

The above pic tells it all, with the American Emperor presiding over the two colonies' HOGs, telling them to put aside their differences and to be good subjects of the Empire and do the Empire's bidding. 3 unlikely and incompatible bedfellows,  with blood debt to settle, with so much hate and acrimonies, sitting in the same table like good friends. Are they for real? Did Japan and South Korea so willing to be semi colonies of the Americans, with American military bases in their countries and effectively having full control of the two countries?

That is nothing but a symbol of "Might Is Right". Whoever carries the Power of the Day. and seen by the whole God-damned World as Mighty Warriors, is always right.

Until some day, some time, another takes over as the Mighty Warrior.

"Boris is the greatest because when we needed support he was there,” said Vira Kostenko-Kuznetsova, social impact producer based between Warsaw and Kyiv.

“Because he has this big personality, people are following him. Polish people helped us a lot, but there, there is no one personality who everyone is following. Boris is a good friend who people really like.”

In April, Johnson became one of the first world leaders to visit Kyiv.

While embraced by Ukrainians, at home, some questioned the motivation for his trips to Ukraine and much-trumpeted calls with Zelenskyy.

It is well known that Johnson’s hero is Winston Churchill, and he has been accused of not only trying to emulate this heroic wartime leader, but of using the war in Ukraine as a distraction from scandal, controversy and economic crisis in the UK.

“He is not the first, and won’t be the last, national leader to use toughness abroad to disguise weakness at home,” says Peter Kellner, a British polling expert.

I think whenever Zelensky speaks, he actually speaks for himself - his own selfish interests. That is the bottom line..

S Korea could still be saved but Japan is a gone case as being amenable from being a puppet and a shill for the evil empire with the recently departed ex PM Abe being the most ardent supporter.
Abe was one who restarted.QUAD with the motive of confronting China in mind.

Abe was also a wartime crime deniar and cheerleader of the glory of its military wartime adventures. So it amazes that there are many who now seek to polish his legacy like a saint, including in local newsweb like CNA and admonish people in China and Korea for celebrating his demise.

Japan has no friends in East Asia.

Correction: The only friend Japan has in East Asia is Singapore, the canon folder.

Birds of a feather, flock together. That can never change.

The Japs tortured the Koreans. The USA nuke the Japs. But they live happily ever after, each never accusing the other. The Chinese had this saying - The tortoise should not laugh at the turtle for being the same.

Have you ever hear about the Koreans accusing the Japs of war crimes? Or the Japs accusing the USA of war crimes? Only one country had the audacity to accuse others of war crimes, when realistically they are the biggest perpetrators of war crimes. The invasion of Iraq was the biggest war crime every committed by any country. The evidence of WMD was fabricated. The UN members were conned by fake evidence. And the UN rubber stamp was illegally used to make sure the main perpetrators can get away with their commitment of war crimes under the umbrella of the UN.

Talking about American war crimes here would anger many silly bananas. To them it is very disgusting to talk about American war crimes. It never happened, like their parents never mated to give birth to them.

Talking about American war crimes is like slapping the daylight out of them, making them look so stupid that they were deluding themselves all the time. The Americans are such nice people, so loving, so caring, so nice, so righteous, their benefactors.

Stupidity has no cure.

Saudi wanna run road liao:

'BRICS is waiting for new members: in addition to Argentina and Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt are also preparing to submit applications for membership in the organization. This was stated to Izvestiya by a high-ranking source who was aware of the progress of the process. According to him, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Mohammed bin Salman "‎is serious about joining the BRICS"‎.

Abe was not that simple. He was the king maker in Japan. He controlled the LDP and Japanese politics.

Internationally he had two big goals, to remilitarise Japan and to instigate the Americans to attack China. He was scheming all along, playing the Americans using the Taiwan card. If the Americans fell for it and start a war with China, both the US and China would be destroyed. Japan would be the ultimate winner.

He is too cunning to be allowed to succeed in his evil plan. Some said he was terminated by the Americans.

BRICS is an organisation where every country is equal. It is an organisation where aspiring nations would have a bigger say than in the American NGO aka UN where the Americans called the shot.

BRICS is a grouping that gives equal treatment to all members. Whether they contribute more or less, everyone has equal rights. That is why even small countries in Africa are interested.

Compare that to the G7 or G20, where the USA has the biggest say because they say they contribute the most. In fact, in every world body today, the USA wants to have the biggest say in everything, even threatening to withdraw support if they do not have their way. That is what irks many. Many small countries had to follow because they have little choice when the Evil Empire tells them they are either with the dark side or against it. Is that what they call a choice?

And like the case of COVID19 outbreak, when the WHO did not follow initially the USA agenda and dictates by not accusing China, the USA stopped contributing to the body. As a result, China had to foot a bigger chunk of the bill. I think the USA knows they cannot allow the WHO to be under the strong influence of China and so they eventually, I believe, relented and paid their dues. The USA always use coercion and threats to force others to follow their agenda. And that is why many world bodies are losing their credentials by being dictated to by the USA and the West.

Again, as I want to say, the war in Iraq opened the eyes of the world when even the UN was duped into an illegal war based on fabricated evidence. No WMD or chemical weapons were ever found and that was the end of the story. No war crimes investigated, which is the biggest travesty of justice in history.

BRICS crushed by who? By propaganda on MSM?

Now they are joking about 'Putinomics' making a mockery of sanctions on Russia. Putin treated that as just child's play, they are saying.

The Russians are saying that the war in Ukraine has not even started to get serious and the USA and the West have not seen anything yet. Coming up, Russia is planning to cut gas supplies to Ukraine and let Nord Stream 1 remain in hibernation. After all, there is a ready market waiting in the East, with India gobbling up more Russian oil and gas than ever. And I heard somewhere that the Indians are paying in Yuan. Ouch, that must be hitting below the belt.

Actually, Nord Steam 2 was a back up pipeline in case periodic maintenance issues were to stop the flow of gas to Germany via Nord Steam 1. Merkel had this in mind and had fought very hard for Nord Stream 2 despite all the threats by the USA. Now everything has been killed by her successor under instigation by the USA. This coming winter will not be one that the Europeans will relish the snow and ice.

Who is getting crushed is still left to be seen. All throughout the Ukraine war we have been bombarded with the fake news that Ukraine is fighting hard and winning the war. But if losing territory is winning the war, I rest my case.

At about 7:45 pm, the run-road, self-deposed, ex-President of Sri Lanka landed in Singapore, after much delays.

It was stated in the Press that he had entered Singapore on a social visit pass. And that he did not ask for asylum. Singapore does not normally provide for asylum to foreigners. (The key question here is: Does he need to ask for asylum?)

The Srilankan run-road, self-deposed, ex-President had earlier flee to Maldives and a group of protesters were quick to demand that Maldives must not harbour criminals. The Maldives government has heeded the people's demand and so it sent this run-road deposed ex-President elsewhere.

After much research, the run-road ex-President must have thought that Singapore is the safest and most secured place to hide. As a result, it was permitted to land in Singapore.

Originally, the run-road ex-President was supposed to take an SIA flight but later it was switched to a Saudi flight. What has caused the switch, no one knows for now.

The Saudi flight landed in a separate location, away from its normal runway. What has caused this irregular arrangement is still a mystery. Could there be unseen hands playing the switching game behind the wonderful scene? Your guess is as good as mine.

Immediately after landing, the party had quickly boarded a sky-train and off they went. Perhaps to meet with the most powerful person on this island? Who knows?

Anyway, the whole situation seems to have been "fixed" by people in the know. Don't you agree?


A-Non-Yes-Mouse said...

If Maldives did not want this criminal, why must Singapore allow him to visit on a social visit pass?

This social visit pass is for 30 days, after which he can convert it to a long-term visit pass.

Can you see the implications?

Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa e-mailed his resignation, shortly after he reached Singapore, a spokesman for the parliamentary speaker said.

Why die so early? Someone reported that she had died from a fall. Not from Natural Death.

Looks like foul play? I suspect.

The ruling elites of the world must protect each other. The reason is it might happen to any one of them, and where can they run to. So, it is a matter of you watch by backside and I will watch yours. Or you scratch my back and I can scratch yours. Something along those lines.

Rajapaksa is a welcomed addition to S'pore. He will contribute to Singapore's billionaire list and help to create jobs for sinkies. Next step is giving him PR. If he buys a $100M GCB, $25M in total taxes will be kio-tio by govt to help old sinkies like you with your medical & electricity bills. How good is that? This is on top of the extra $50M he'll pay to local bankers, lawyers, architects, building contractors, interior designers, renovation contractors, building suppliers, including Courts & Best Denki & Gain City for furnitures and airon etc.

First they have to prove his wealth is not illgotten and he is not here to do his dirty money laundering. Of course, that is the easy part, if they want it to work out.

When it is all agreeable, all is well and will end well.
