The Pacific Islands have enjoyed some measure of peace and tranquility for a long while. They have been left alone in peace for a long while too. But they have seen the progress made in other countries, benefiting from the Chinese BRI investments and infrastructure all over the world. They therefore want to bet on China. But the USA says, China cannot be allowed to influence the Pacific Islands. So they are stepping in, as always, using the China threat.
The Pacific Islanders can smell the foul drift of sulpur, once the USA steps in with the intention to talk them into countering China, the usual narrative in their USA playbook. So, they ordered the leaders of the Pacific Islands to the White House for a lecture. Obviously the Pacific Islanders do not buy into the USA agenda.
So, what can we expect in the days ahead? Trust the USA to come up with underhand tactics to force them to do their bidding. And that means work to do for the CIA and USA funded NGOs to 'help' the Islanders.
'Help' is a word that can be moral or immoral. Eradicating poverty is a moral undertaking. Developing infrastructure for poor countries to progress is another moral undertading. But fermenting regime changes to assist their stooges to hijack power, in the name of democracy, is an immoral form of help. Just like in Venezuela. Instigating social unrest to topple legitimately elected governments is also immoral. Also just like in Venezuela.

From the way things have been going on, the USA today, and not any different from yesteryears, they are only used to force their way through, because they believe that Might is Right!
ReplyDeleteWhen the almighty USA thinks that might is right, then everything else must follow suit. They will push through their agenda by hook or by crooked means to make regime changes to the government that does not support their "USA's Democratic Way", but not necessarily the true Democratic Way.
In fact, in this world today, there is no true democracy. Even the so-called champion of democracy is itself a single autocratic entity, even though they are deliberately split into two camps.
Because of oil, Washington is now reaching out to Venezuela like a pal after years of unsuccesscully trying regime change.
ReplyDeleteThey must think President Moduro is an idiot like those spineless EU leaders.
I am beginning to see Moduro giving Biden the middle finger, the cheek of him.
US has no friends, only special interests,Henry Kissinger.
Africa's history has not be figured enough on political and social media sites, but it is certainly chequered. I hope my little knowledge of African history is not misleading, having just taken an interest in what is happening over there.
ReplyDeleteThe British had by the 17th to the 18th century gained control of the whole of North America, Australia, India. They were also having the intention of taking Africa all for themselves. However, other European powers, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Germany were also trying to follow the British in establishing colonies in Africa and they fought. Not just among themselves, but against the Blacks too. Incidentally, these colonial powers were also eyeing China, which during the opium war period, was arbitrarily divided among the seven colonial powers into concessions, with Japan joining in the fray.
The Africans, over the centuries after that, had been fighting for independence from their colonial yoke, and unsurprisingly they had help with weapons and aid from Russia, China, North Korea and Cuba. These four latter countries were anti-imperialist and were helping the Africans to fight the imperialist Ango Saxon Whites. Today, Africa has more or less had enough of the Anglo Saxon Whites evil agenda and are turning agains them.
Unsurprisingly, the Anglo Saxon whites are still making attempts to return to rule Africa, trying to poison the minds of the Africans, by spreading, as usual, threats and accusation of debt traps set up by China. As Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan Leader said, the Russians and Chinese did not give them trouble or try to control them and are still getting on well with help from them. They provided help to the Blacks in times of need and why should Africa now turn against them and help the Whites? It was the Whites who had given them so much trouble and pain, kidnapping young Blacks to work as slaves in USA and stealing their resources.
The Anglo Saxon Whites can try to retake Africa, but the Blacks are much more aware of the dangers befalling them by again falling into their trap. I believe Africa is now beyond the control of the White Imperialist forces.
To frighten the Africans that the Chinese were in Africa to colonise Africa is a great insult to the intelligence of the Africans. The Chinese did not go to Africa with their gun boats. The Africans are well educated today and independent minded and able to decide what is good or bad for them, how to negotiate a good deal with the Chinese on an equal basis, without being coerced into signing anything.
ReplyDeleteThis is like the same lie the West have been spreading about debt trap because of BRI. They are as good as saying all the leaders that signed up for the BRI are stupid, cannot think, cannot read and are selling off the interests of their countries.
This kind of silly white men's lie no longer works. The leaders of the coloured world are intelligent people and know exactly what they are doing in BRI and the investments by China in infrastructure projects that they needed to develop their countries' economies. The Africans are paying forward, investing for the future of Africa.
