The world fed up with American bullying and gangsterism

 The USA is overdoing its demonisation of China and countries in the Global South are getting really sick and tired of it. Everywhere they go, every alliance they form, every opportunity that presents itself, it is about countering threats from China. Why drag Tonga into their warmongering ideology and not let it enjoy its path to progress?

The USA seems unable to confront China by itself and needs rounding up all the allies and forming all the alliances just to compete with China economically, militarily and humanistically. This probably stems from the stark realisation that even dealing with Russia over the Ukraine War, complete with full support from Nato, is still not within its grasp and even failing, and is a confidence sapping realisation.

The USA is behaving today unbecoming of a unipolar superpower, just crying foul and waiting for sympathy and help from allies and friends alike. The irony is that they do not know how to garner support using diplomacy which, over the decades have been corrupted to such an extent that they have forgotten how it used to work, and instead using veiled threats and arm twisting to get what they wanted, like a big bully that everyone hates. That is not going to work in the long run.

Just as we have seen throughout the Ukraine War, support from allies is actually waning, while former friendly countries are not supportive and even turning away, just like the Africans. Even allies are doing that, all because coercion and using threats does not work like before. The Middle Eastern oil producers used to be in bed with the USA, but are now no longer towing the USA line. The USA still thinks that everyone has to follow its dictates, not realising that the backbone of the US$ hegemony lies with oil, and the Middle Eastern countries hold the key. Control of the key to the US$ hegemony is no longer in the hands of the USA.

  1. What must be the greatest comedy show being put up must be holding a peace talk, hosted by Saudi Arabia, regarding the Ukraine War, without the Russians attending. It is just like holding a marriage ceremony without the bride or groom. Wonder who is going to say 'I do', LOL.

    Putin's recent meeting with African Nations in St Petersburg also discussed the Africans peace initiative, which he said is similar to what China proposed some time ago, and categorically brushed aside by Ukraine, USA and the collective West. Will the African peace initiative be able to move ahead?
