The western media, oops, not the western media, it is the media of American cronies that would be making this kind of statement, that China and the US must de escalate tension. The western media would not say so. It is the intent of the US to escalate tension. China has nothing to do with the escalation. The Americans are provoking and agitating the Chinese everyday and everywhere, to raise tension and wanting to start a war with China.
Whoever makes such a statement is like saying China is also guilty of raising tension when China was and is always the victim of American provocation and aggression. Who is provocating China in the South China Sea? Who is selling weapons to Taiwan? Who is saying they would come to Taiwan's defence when Taiwan is a part of China? Who is making all the aggressive 'freedom of navigation' and war games exercises? Who is sanctioning China and starting all kinds of trade wars, tech wars, cyber wars, balloon wars?
Why is it that no one dares to call a spade a spade, to tell the warmonger Americans to stop their aggressive behaviours for peace instead of stoking for war?
The same kind of silly statements are being made on Ukraine and North Korea and Iran. Why are the west accusing the Russians for starting the war and that Russia must start to negotiate when the Russians were doing it from the start but the peace plan was scuttled by the Americans. It is the Americans that did not want peace and escalating the war in Ukraine.
It is the Americans that are conducting hostile military exercises in the Korean Peninsula to prepare for an attack on North Korea. It is the Americans that are raising tension in the Korean Peninsula, in the Persian Gulf.
Tell the Americans to stop their hostile warmongering activities and there would be lesser tension and peace. China, Russia, Iran and North Korea were on the receiving ends of American aggressive behaviour. All the troubles and tensions around the world is created by the Americans. Do not make misleading statements and disinformation to allege that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are responsible for wars and tensions and that they must de escalate.
Tell it to the Americans. Do not make mischievous statements that the Americans are the innocent party and others are equally responsible for tensions and wars.
Screwdrivers not provided; some DIY assembly skills are needed:
ReplyDelete'Wars as imagined inside the Beltway often seem to assume that the enemy will just lie there and be bombed without doing anything untoward or unexpected. Are we sure? The United States has 28,000 troops and their families within range of Chinese weaponry, the killing of whom would force Washington into desperate measures. Could China encourage North Korea to attack southward, creating a two-front war far beyond Washington’s ability to handle? Or Kim to think he saw a chance and attack on his own initiative? Might China annex Myanmar? Perhaps this is farfetched. Perhaps it isn’t. Remember that nobody expected China’s entry into the Korean war.'
'A Chinese victory in the style of Tsushima Strait would end the world’s view of America as an invincible hegemon. The fernbar Napoleons might well decide to up the ante and turn a regional into a world war. This it would win. “Win.” Perhaps by blocking the Strait of Malacca and threatening the Three Gorges Dam. The expectation in the Pentagon would likely be that Beijing would see the futility of resistance and surrender. But if it did not?'
'America’s trade with China in goods in 2020 was $660 billion, $120 billion of that being exports, making it America’s largest trading partner… Cutting this off would wreck the American economy. This is far more than a matter of iPhones and cheap plastic buckets for Walmart. Though most may not know it, America is an economic dependency of China. The US gets from China countless things it cannot make but cannot do without. For example, cars require computers to control their ignition and transmissions. Where do we think these are made? Companies like Boeing sound American but many vital assemblies come from China. High-end semiconductors, crucial to today’s economies, come predominantly from East Asian companies, notably Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Samsung, both of which would be hostage to Chinese attack. The great majority of rare earths, critical to the manufacture of chips, come from China. Similar considerations exist for industry after industry. While America has the technology to make most of the things it gets from China, it does not have the manufacturing capacity, and would need years to develop it.'
Has anyone in Washington checked industry by industry to see what the effects of the end of imports would actually be?

One thing though, the doggies would not bother to check as to who wanted de-escalation. They just believe in what the USA says, and that is the absolute truth and enough for them. Whereas, for others, we have to check and verify if they are true, otherwise it is presumed to be fake and untruth statements, especially if you are an anonymous commenter. Right RB?
ReplyDeleteBombing Moscow or Beijing is a far different proposition than Iraq or Libya, as they did not have the means to fight back and were destroyed comprehensively. The USA controlled the air over Iraq and Libya, as they did in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Nato did the same in Yugoslavia, carpet bombing Yugoslavia for more than two months, killing hundreds of thousands. No war crime?
And talking about Vietnam, the North was not even in the league of Russia or China then, not to talk of today, in terms of military capability. Support had to come from China and Russia. Millions of tons of bombs were dropped by the USA on the Vietcong fighters, but even that did not win them the war, despite having as much as 500,000 USA troops, at one stage, on the ground in support. And they think that threatening Russia by providing Ukraine with fighter jets is going to change the game against Russia?
And of what use of further sanctions over chips for military use, when a Middle Eastern country is providing Russia with semiconductor components for Russia's military usage. How long that has been going on, I am not sure. Yes, a Middle East country helping Russia with semiconductors for military use. Not Iran by the way, but the UAE. Should be true.
The other unverified news is that the USA is now working on sanctions against China, in which case China will undoubtedly provide Russia with pivotal weapons for use in the Ukraine War. China and Russia are expanding trade beyond the US$ and giving Russia the financial support to keep the war going and that is the reason the USA is targeting sanctions on China. India is helping Russia with oil imports as well, but why is the USA and doggies not talking about sanctioning India? Providing weapons to Russia is one retaliation that China can use, if it comes to the stage of sanctions being imposed on China.
If the USA and Nato escalates the war by providing fighter jets to Ukraine, that means all gloves are off and Putin will raze Ukraine to the ground. By the way, with most airports in Ukraine already destroyed, where will those fighter jets take off from, other than from a Nato country, and that means WW3 will kick off as well.
Actually, Putin must destroy Ukraine totally, as keeping parts of Ukraine still under control by the USA via Nato will invite more trouble later, just like Taiwan. Mao made the mistake of not purusing the KMT leftovers right towards the island of Taiwan. That would have prevented the trouble China is having toady. Putin's intention right now is probably to destroy Ukraine, leave it as a buffer zone against the expansion of Nato, get rid of the neo Nazis that could reignite trouble for Russia, and killing USA's intention via Nato to station nuclear missiles within reach of Moscow.
There have now also been loose talk on social media of Russia intending to play the same game as the USA by placing nuclear missiles back in Cuba and also in Venezuela, if the USA escalates the war by providing fighter jets to Ukraine. True or not is unverifiable yet. Actually, building more nuclear missile capable submarines would be a better alternative for Russia and China in case of a pre-emptive strike by the USA against their mainland.
And Beijing will just sit tight and wait for the nukes? If that is so simple, why hasn't the USA done that? Why need all the trouble of rounding up doggies to antagonise China, start trade wars, form chip alliances. For wtf?
ReplyDeleteWatched the latest congressional hearing on China and its like the 50s McCarthyism era. They had an anti China propaganda video on show and interviewed some of the most hawkish people- Matt Pottinger, HE McMaster and even a Chinese dissident. Not even trying to fake impartiality anymore.
ReplyDeleteWorse, American media CNN and Foxnews were weighing in with some of the most inflammatory and hateful comments on China.
China has been restraint despite constant provocation from US in the past but looking at the latest comments from Chinese foreign ministry, they have given up being accomodative and fighting back. Good for them.
It used to be like that. The Americans and the white men just decide who they want to attack, invade, destroy, sanction, isolate, and no one can do anything about it. The bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was the straw. From then on China went all out to neutralise the military might of the Americans and the white men.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the Americans planned to hit China or Russia, both are also planning to hit back as furiously as possible. Both Russia and China are now in position vaporise the whole of USA and Europe, plus all the doggies.
When a nuclear war starts, nothing would be left standing, no more New York, Washington, Montreal, Vancouver, Tokyo, Osaka, London, Paris, Bonn, Munich, Rome whatever big cities. Beijing, Shanghai, Moscow, Leningrad also would be gone.
Only mad dogs in the US still think war is an option to bully and dominate the world. This is the thinking of lunatics in the USA..
A Russian hypersonic missile can reach the USA to take out the USA command centre in 5 minutes. In 5 minutes, the USA will not even have time to find out where it came from, not to talk about getting their anti missile defence system ready to shoot it down.
ReplyDeleteIf USA intelligence is really that good, how were the Japanese able to attack Pearl Harbour by surprise? And they invented the story that the warning by lower ranking staff did not reach the people above making the decisions, about the incoming attack. Nice try!
How about their intelligence before the 911 attack on the Twin Towers? Oh, there was a drill ongoing and every fighter jet had been told to stand down. From 8.46 am on llth September, 2001, when the first plane hit the twin towers, no military jets were scrambled to deal with hijacked planes. Nice story too.
And to insult the intelligence of those watching the event, a passport was found at ground zero, totally unscathed, despite the heat that turned the concrete and steel structure into dust. One of the hijackers must have had the presence of mind to throw down his passport out the plane window (dunno whether possible or not or if there was such a window) before it crashed into one of the tower, in order to incriminate himself. And Eureka, it was from a Middle East guy. Also nice story.
