Scott Bessent admitted that many countries did not bother to call him despite the deadline. And only less 3 countries have actually negotiated a deal with the Americans, leaving more than 90 countries showing no interest in the tariff or trading with the Americans. This is how important or irrelevant the American market is to the rest of the world. Trump overrated the importance of the American market when the rest of the world can trade freely with, yes, the rest of the world, without having to be bullied by the scoundrels and gangsters in Washington.
The rest of the world is quietly derisking and decoupling from the Americans. There is nothing to buy from America and nothing much to sell to the Americans to exchange for a fake currency that is increasingly losing its value and may turn into a banana currency soon. Why bother to talk to the rogues in Washington and be called suckers and more humiliating terms like kissing the ass of Trump?
All national leaders have their pride and the pride of their countries. Going to kiss Trump's ass is an insult they would not accept as leaders of their countries. Trump had slapped them in the face even before talking to them. And Trump thinks that insulting the leaders of smaller states is alright, is the right of the American gangsters.
China is offering tariff free trades to Africa and very low tariffs to the rest of the world without the hustle of having to negotiate in Beijing. Life and trading can be so easy and convenient, why be bullied and threaten by the American rogues, like having to beg them for mercy? The Americans can close their doors and trade among themselves while the rest of the world is happy trading among themselves. China can offer the rest of the world everything they need, cheaper and better. Who needs the American market?
There was no legitimate reason for Israel and the USA to bomb Iran. These are acts of state terrorism. The accusation that Iran is about to build a nuclear bomb is as baseless as the accusation that Iraq had WMD. All the evidence, including those presented by American intelligence chief and the IAEA confirmed that Iran is not about to build a nuclear bomb.
Then the equally evil European gangs, instead of condemning the Americans and the Israelis, condemned Iran instead. Only the devil will say this is the way. The OIC as usual, made some noise to show that they would support their Muslim brothers and sisters, and why not, when Iran was attacked by the world's number one and number two terrorist states on fabricated lies and baseless accusations?
The UN is as it was and it is, United Nonsense, totally powerless and useless and clueless on what to do with the terrorist states of America and Israel. They can bomb and attack any country as and when they like, with impunity. No one can stop them.
What about ASEAN? When would ASEAN speak up to condemn such uncalled for aggression against another nation state? This is a very serious breach of International Laws and a very dangerous precedent that must be stopped. Indonesia and Malaysia had spoken and condemn the aggression. What about the rest of ASEAN states? What about the friends of the American and Israeli terrorists in ASEAN? Would they stand up, or open their golden mouths and support the bombing of Iran by the American and Israeli terrorists?
A great violation of international law had been committed by the American and Israeli terrorist states. Either they be condemned or supported, silence is not golden. Silence is hypocrisy. Silence is appeasement to the terrorist states. Actually it would be better to support the American and Israeli terrorists by using some kinds of fake excuses or pretending to be ignorant of the truth, like in the Iraq WMD case, and be patted on the back by the Americans and the Israelis as good boy.
Those ASEAN states hoping to buy more American or Israeli weapons would find this as a golden opportunity to score brownie points, and may gain some favour from the two terrorist states, and be called friends, and may be invited to the White House for tea.
The Germans were crying that their little things were fried by Chinese laser beams in the Red Sea. A German spy plane flew directly at a Chinese warship, a hostile act. The Chinese tried to shoo them off, but as usual, the Germans behaved like the American terrorists and all white terrorists, claiming freedom of navigation, that they were in international airspace and ignored the warning. The Chinese warship turned on their laser beam at the German aircraft and immediately several of their instrument were roasted, including their little things. Ouch, it is not going to work anymore.
The German pilots went back crying to their govt that they are now impotent. The German called in the Chinese embassy official to protest. This is typical of white gangsters. They violated the rights of China, threatening Chinese warship with their hostile act and when their little things got fried, they cried and complained.
China now has the perfect tool to fried rice the white gangsters in open sea and international airspace when they misbehaved, rude and aggressive. Now there are a few pieces of fried German fritters, and their owners are frantically calling on the docs to check if they could still make babies.
Not only that there will be more German fried fritters, the first guinea pigs. There will also be fried American fritters in the South China Sea, fried Japanese, Pinoys, Australians and possibly fried Brits and French fritters as well when they misbehaved in the South China Sea or the Taiwan Straits, or anywhere near Chinese territories.
Nice invention from China, to have frying fritter machine in their warships and warplanes. The white gangsters be warned. Don't offer yourself to be fried in the air or at sea. Playing with fired not only can get burnt but can also be roasted or fried. After this incident, the warmongering whites would be wondering what to wear to protect their little stuff if they are going to provoke the Chinese. If they can't find a solution they better stay far, far away from Chinese warships and warplanes.
Trump is adding more misery to USA manufacturing with his 50% tariffs on copper imports. That will mean higher costs for industries like vehicles makers (if any is going to be left), consumer products, electronics and electrical goods. Even weapons are affected, though the tariff could be added on and unloaded to Ukraine and Israel and other cronies and colonies like Japan, South Korea, Philippines and you know who. Not for free obviously.
USA copper producers will likewise increase prices to match imported copper prices for sure. This would be cause for celebration for them and their investors. Who is going to benefit? Not USA consumers who will have to dig in more to afford domestically made products. If USA consumers are clapping and celebrating, that shows how delusional they are. Tariffs are going to be paid by importers and passed on to them regardless of what and where they come from. What is the celebration all about?
China is the copper producer of the world, and the USA is not the market for China's copper output, nor is China dependent on USA copper producers who themselves are just able to provide only half of what the USA needed. Trump's move will not lead to any collapse of Chinese copper producers if that is what he intended.
China's industries itself need lots of copper for its EV producers (83 kg of copper for each EV on average), the shipbuilding industry, high-speed rails and trains, commercial planes and military jets, consumer products and even defense usage. Overcapacity caters very well to China's domestic needs. China has the productive capacity and the market as well. China's move to be totally self-dependents is no idle boast.
All in all, are we again going to see more nose cutting and face spiting going forward by the USA?
This is a sick picture showing the world's number one and number war criminals dining and having a good time and celebrating the genocide of Palestinians and the bombing of Iran in the White House. And the western media loved every bit of it, like a grand occasion for humanity. And one of the war criminal even nominate the other war criminal for the Nobel Peace Prize. What a sick joke.
But this is how sick the western world has become when Satan rules the world, when anti Christs are their heroes. Everyone present at the dinner are vicious gangsters that live by wars and killings. There is not a little wee bit sign of regrets, remorse or guilt in their faces. They party and go back to sleep as if they were having a great time doing what they were doing, masscring Palestinians and bombing Iran.
Shame to the world for allowing this to happen, in praise of war criminals and genocides.
NATO chief warns World War 3 could start with invasions from China and Russia
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has warned that simultaneous invasions from Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin could trigger World War 3. He suggested that the conflict would start with China seeking to seize Taiwan while encouraging Putin to attack NATO territory. His assessment comes amid fears Putin is eyeing the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — all of which are NATO members and formerly part of the USSR...
Russia has hit back at Rutte, who previously served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands, claiming he had 'gorged on too many of the magic mushrooms beloved by the Dutch', while warning he should look forward to a future in a Siberian labour camp. MSN
This Rutte is going so mad after he was made the chief clown of NATO that he is vying with Trump to be the biggest liar on earth. He is now frothing in his mouth, shooting out all kinds of shit that he could produce. The next thing, he would want all the Asian countries, Japan, South Korea and India, to join NATO to start a war with Russia and China, thinking that the 'has been' European powers are still up to it to fight a war with China and Russia. He would not want to know that NATO could not even take on Russia in Ukraine and deluding himself that NATO and the Americans can take on Russia and China and win.
Both NATO countries and America are bankrupt states and would not last in an extremely expensive war that they cannot afford to, without the industrial might and money to manufacture the overpriced weapons to fight against cheap drones and missiles. The clown Rutte is getting madder by the day. Soon he would be calling himself Hitler or Napoleon, thinking he is the new emperor of Europe, wanting to invade and conquer Russia and China. To him, fabricating lies, telling lies are his job as NATO's chief clown.
Trump's insanity would have to compete bravely to be madder than this NATO chief clown. Which country in the world would listen to this new chief clown in NATO, to want to fight a war with China or Russia? Which national leaders would be stupid enough to believe his lies that China and Russia are going to invade Europe and start WW3? If there is going to be a WW3, it would be started by the American terrorists or the European savages. They are preparing for it, and saber rattling, calling for wars and manufacturing threats of wars as an excuse to attack countries that are busy minding their own businesses.
It would be good if a few silly European countries like the Brits, French, Germans and the Dutch were to start a war with Russia and see how they got roasted by Russian nukes. They are dying for it.
Iran has to do a thorough cleaning of its security lapse, getting rid of Israeli spies, western apps, dislodging the whole Israeli spy network embedded inside Iran for decades. What was never asked about all this time was how the Israelis managed to pinpoint Iranian leader's whereabouts and assassinating them so comprehensively and easily is now being looked into.
China already realized the danger of its National Security issue being compromised long ago by relying on Western tech, by building its own Beidou Navigation Satellite system, reinforcing strict operation procedures for western apps operating in China and also getting rid of western computer platforms and equipment in later years.
China has a big advantage in that even iPhones used by the Chinese are made in China and inserting backdoors for spying cannot be done discreetly. Moreover, China makes more mobile phones than what its own citizen's needed, which makes phones made by others less in demand in China or not at all. There was a report that Apple was on the point of trying to dump India made sub-standard iPhones, unsaleable in the EU, on to the Chinese market years ago, which the Chinese resisted from buying altogether. That plan failed.
The whole Chinese Government computer system is relying on the 'Kylin' system, developed by the National University of Defense Technology in the People's Republic of China in 2001. The windows operating system has been phased out nationally, with the 'Harmony' platform developed by Huawei being used more widely by the public. Of course, what China was able to do cannot be done by others, that have to still rely on Western platforms like 'Windows' and relying on the GPS system for military applications that could be shut off by the USA. Iran was using that lately and has already migrated to the Chinese Beidou Navigation system, allowing it to target Israeli installations at ease. In an earlier encounter in 2024, Iran's use of the GPS system was jammed by the Israelis, meaning that the USA had a hand under pressure by the Israelis.
Exactly. It is time for BRICS to be led by new leaders like Brazil and South Africa. BRICS should not expect Putin and Xi to remain forever to chart the course and direction of BRICS, as that would invite criticism. Right now, there are already criticism by India that BRICS is all about benefiting China. No country in BRICS wants that.
Now Indonesia is a big country going to have its voice heard. And it is up to the rest of BRICS to decide what they want to do with India if it still persists in its decision to sabotage the direction of BRICS. After all, BRICS was created to give small countries a voice in all things, not just only Russia and China forever calling the shots. BRICS is not the UN, with big donations entitling big donors a big and overwhelming voice. That should not be what BRICS is all about.
Countries in BRICS will know, as time goes by, what India is trying to do even by giving it a voice. India is not BRICS, just as the USA is not what global trade is all about. BRICS can do without India, as it has not contributed anything of benefit to the grouping thus far. As a perceived Trojan Horse for the Anglo-Saxon Whites, especially the USA, this does not escape the attention of Russia and China. And it is up to all members of BRICS to decide the fate of India if it goes rogue against the decisions of the majority.
China is making missiles using robots working 24 hours a day. And China has all the needed raw materials and processing facilities for that - rare earth, titanium, steel, aluminum and iron. Chinese manufacturing is all there to turn into and provide the supply chain for a war economy. China can fight a long war, or a short one if the USA cannot manufacture enough weapons needed to sustain a longer war.
Overcapacity is also to China's advantage, as Chinese manufacturing can turn to a war machine if needed. Can the USA do that as what it did in the past, and now with all manufacturing facilities all hollowed out. Of course, that can be remedied if Trump's attempt to lure manufacturing back to the USA is successful. But are present indications pointing to its success? What Trump has done is achieving something diametrically different from what he gloated about doing. Even true-blue USA entities like Apple, Boeing, John Deere, Ford and others are shifting production out of the USA. What really broke the camel's back was the added tariffs making imported components and raw materials very much more expensive.
There is now a deluge of propaganda using misleading reports about job creation in the USA, using smoke and mirrors to fool the masses regarding the reality. With entities shifting investment overseas, small retail outlets closing shop, food and beverage outlets going out of business and cuts in Federal spending, the loss of jobs cannot be hidden by creative reporting.
The deportation of illegal immigrants may create job opportunities in farming, food and beverage sectors and small retailing outlets, but are USA citizens willing to go for such low paying jobs? Immigrants do not have employment rights fighting for higher wages against errant employers, unlike USA workers that will demand high wages for such jobs. More businesses will bite the dust if USA workers are instead hired to replace those immigrants. Job openings may be created, but it does not musk the real issue of who is taking over those jobs.
27 min clip by Piers Morgan on the night Tel Aviv looked like Gaza. I often turned off when Piers Morgan appeared as his presentations often were prejudice view about America was right, typical of a brain dead hillbilly. Many American thinkers had taken him on to challenge his unthinking views to make him look ridiculous. This clip is one of his most objective views of what is happening in Gaza and Tel Aviv and the wrongs the Israelis have done to the Palestinians, and the just karma returning to the Israelis, unstoppable.
The clip is like a wakeup call on Piers Morgan or his awakening to the harsh realities of the world that he cannot ignore any more. Piers Morgan was like a changed man in this clip.
The reason spate of assassinations in Iran is a lesson for the dull and brain dead worshippers of the West. Many are still using Apple products and GPS, die die believe that the West means the best, even knowing that Apple and many products are listening on them, monitoring and tracking them. It was reported that many of the Iranian leaders were killed together in meetings, likely their positions and locations being compromised by their iPhones with the help of GPS.
Is this a lesson to be learnt? For the sensible, many do not need such deadly lessons to save themselves. For those suffering from stupidity has no cure disease, such lessons would never make them wiser and they would continue to use Apple products and GPS.
Iran has finally switched to Beidou Global Navigation System to protect themselves, and also using the same system to target Israeli positions with their missiles with increasing accuracy. Huawei is not just a better system. It can save your life. The Americans and Israelis cannot hack Huawei system, cannot monitor, eavesdrop and track the users.
It is better late than never for Iran. But for sure, many Arab and Muslim leaders are still using iPhones and GPS and ignoring their own safety and the safety of their loved ones.
The Americans would continue to ban Huawei and ban the use of Huawei in America but also in American colonies and crony states, to want to continue to eavesdrop and spy on the users. The colonies and crony American states have no choice, coerced by the Americans to ban the use of Huawei, so that the Americans can continue to screw them as and when they want it. Without Huawei's advanced 5G technology, they cannot even operate driverless vehicles on their roads. These are the heavy price for being American doggies.
Would the Arab and Muslim states wise up and drop Apple products and GPS? Unfortunately many could not, as they are semi colonies of the American Empire and have to do as being ordered by the American terrorists. Use iPhones and GPS or else.... Their lives are hanging on tiny strings controlled by the Americans. At least the Iranians have cut off these strings for good by switching to Beidou.
How many Arab and Muslim leaders are still using iPhones? How many African and Asean leaders are still using iPhones...and GPS?

A Chinese J10 just cost about US$45 million which is much cheaper than a Rafale costing US$280 million. In performance, it does not lack the ability and capability of the Rafale. India is trying to create fear among neighbors with the hype-up reputation of its Rafale jet purchase, just like the USA hyping up its F35s, that have yet to pit itself against China's J20 or J35.
Iran has confirmed the purchase of Chinese J10s, which should be delivered soon, knowing how fast Chinese manufacturing has been known to work out. What should be interesting is how the J10 will fare against Israel's F35, if it goes head-to-head, if Israel were to fix up another attack on Iran with the J10 delivered. Having said that, Iran must still be highly alert in the interim for another pre-emptive strike by Israel, pending the arrival of the J10 and other Chinese weapons.
Iran is now reported to be cleaning house of Israeli spies working inside the country. According to reports several hundred have been rounded up and some executed. Another report surfaced that Iran's military also destroyed a very large number of hidden Israeli drones providing intelligence inside Iran to Israel that made all the past assassination of Iranian top leaders seem like a breeze. The game is changing, and Israel is going to be denied all the intelligence provided by its spy network in Iran.
Suffice to say, that 12-day war between Israel and Iran have changed the thinking of the Iranians, no longer reactive but becoming more proactive. And it spells trouble for Israel going forward. What Israel has built up over decades in terms of its spy network is now being slowly dismantled by the Iranians. No longer are the Israelis still having free rein to gather intelligence, now that the spying network set up over decades been exposed and rendered less effective.
China already said it is ready for any war with the USA. Question is, is the USA really prepared for it? What about securing all the rare earth elements needed to make lots of weapons? They do not come by from thin air, just like printing toilet papers. The USA theoretically already lost the advantage trying to start a war with China. What if it is going to be a prolonged war like in Vietnam and Afghanistan? Does the USA still have the stomach to go for that? Aerial power, for all its gloating is not going to win a war itself. And China is far and away a much bigger military power than either Vietnam or Afghanistan.
All that posturing about wanting a truce in Ukraine and Middle East all points to the USA needing to make lots of weapons for any coming war with China and it is desperately in need of rare earth elements. There can never be two ways about it, and no amount of lying can cover up the truth.
As I said earlier, if the USA was able to manufacture enough interceptor missiles for both Ukraine and Israel, why is there a need to shift about 20,000 interceptor missiles from Ukraine to Israel to counter Iran? Why can't the USA produce more of them directly for Israel, knowing that Ukraine also needed them badly? Now that Israel and Iran are in a stalemate and in an uneasy truce, Trump is suddenly talking about making more patriot missiles for Ukraine to counter Russia. Why the sudden about turn, moving missiles out of Ukraine earlier and now wanting to cover up the lie?
Rare earth is not only China's bargaining chip, but also an existential commodity that it has to control tightly. No amount of bargaining over tariffs should this red line ever be crossed. Of course, the USA and its backers can always set up facilities to secure and process rare earth elements into useful magnets themselves, but time is not on their side cost and feasibility is a problem. Five or ten years is a long way to go from securing to making the final product.
How much would it cost Iran to rebuild its nuclear facilities bombed by Israel and the USA, facilities for civilian use, not in violation of any international law? Hmmm, funny, no one is thinking about this, not even the Iranians. They have accepted their fate, that being smaller and weaker nation, unable to fight for and defend their rights and interests, getting bombed and facilities destroyed, people killed, are just parts and parcels of weak states. Even if they dare to demand for compensation, for war reparation, the two terrorist states would simply ignore them.
Compensation and war reparation are only for the victors to claim. The evil Brits and the 7 white men countries that invaded China, to force China to accept opium for trade, to drug the Chinese, all claimed big reparations against China, to the point of bankrupting China then. China, then under the Qing Dynasty, paid heavily for being invaded, bombed, killed, and looted, plundered, losing lands, and still had to pay war reparations to the invaders who demanded that China allowed them to sell drugs to the Chinese people. This was white men's Rules Based Order then, and also now.
If the bombing of Iran leads to an invasion and defeat of Iran, you can bet the American and Israeli terrorists would demand war reparation from Iran, for invading Iran. And no country would say this is unfair, not right. Even the UN would not say a thing. And the ICC and ICJ would rule everything against Iran and Iranian leaders. The Iranians would have to surrender with no conditions.
The same goes to Iraq. After the country was bombed and invaded, and semi colonised, with millions of Iraqi killed, millions became refugees, not a word about war reparation against the American terrorists for lying that Iraq had WMD. The whole world knows that it was a lie, the war was based on a lie, illegal. But so what? Who dares to claim from the world's number one terrorist state, the USA? The Iraqis should count themselves lucky that the American terrorists did not claim war reparation against them. But the Americans did take whatever oil they could lay their hands on, including the golds in the banks. This is their war reparation, taken quietly, and not wanting to talk about it, knowing that it is illegal and shameful and the whole world would object to it. But robbing and stealing from the Arab and Muslim states are second nature to the Americans and the West. And the western media would keep mum about it, the pro American Anglophiles too would not say a thing.
Then there are the ruins of Gaza and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian lives lost. Who is going to pay for it? Heheheh, not the Israelis or the Americans that provided all the bombs. No compensation from the American and Israeli terrorists for sure. But there is a small chance, if the American and Israel terrorists are kind enough, they may make the rest of the world to pay for it and claim credit for it, for helping to rebuild Gaza, using their own contractors and other people's money.
Praise the American and Israeli terrorists for their victorious wars against Iraq, Iran and Gaza. The whole world is giving their support and consent in silence including ASEAN.
PS. The latest on war reparation by MSN.
Trump reacts to claim Iran could force US to pay for strike damage.
Earlier this week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanding both the U.S. and Israel be blamed for the recent 12-day Israel-Iran war. 'We officially request hereby that the Security Council recognize the Israeli regime and the United States as the initiators of the act of aggression and acknowledge their subsequent responsibility, including the payment of compensation and reparations,' he wrote.
While Trump celebrated what he called the 'complete obliteration' of the nuclear sites in Tehran, Iran was asking for relief elsewhere. Araghchi added: 'While the full scale of the losses is under assessment, several hospitals and relief centers were targeted in grave breach of international humanitarian law, a few energy installations were targeted with the aim of disrupting daily lives of civilians.'
A four footer lad holding a Firearm against a Six Footer with a knife, who will runs first ah?
The White Barbarians and Savages thought that their Rights in having the Necular Bombs whereas Others especially the Muslims and Coloured Peoples could not!
Fark off you Scoundrels!
Sinkeland should get a few and no Need National Slavery and just have a Rocket Regular Battalion.
If Pakistan does not have their Necular, the Damn Indians would have antagonise them long long ago.
Buy now they are more fearful of the Pakistanis than themselves.
Already shown that they are just hot airs.
Iran in an instant simply have Russia and China airlifted them a few straight away.
This could have prevented so many Palestinians been killed by the Israelis.
Aiya please lah, you holy holy don't want to have the Necular to kill as this is Sinful but the White Barabians and Savages are not Sinful in killing you.
They already in their stupor and illusions that they are been guaranteed their places in Heavens in just believing in their Almight God and they could go on killing, raping and murdering others and still goes to Heavens.
So better have the Necular and send them to their Heveans and HELL soonest.
Or is it your wish that they send you to Heavens earlier?
Kelvin Wamsley thinks that Iran is buying an 'air force' from China, everything needed to keep its airspace secure. Right now, the Iranian airspace is as porous as a fishnet, allowing enemy planes to fly in, bomb them, and fly out without a response. That is going to change. New younger Iranian leaders have new plans for the country.
Iran is buying China's J10 fighter jets, PL15 missiles and Chinese made Advance Warning and Control Systems (AWACS), the whole works, all integrated to work with each other. This is better than buying air defense equipment from many sources that have difficulty working with each other.
The war between Pakistan and India exposed this shortcoming. Even Pakistan's JF17, developed in co-operation with China, could work well with Chinese weapons. That was a massive advantage for Pakistan over India, that had French Rafale, Russian MIGs and India's own fighter jets operating on different platforms.
That war between Pakistan and India opened up a big market for Chinese military equipment manufacturers. The Rafale jet at US$288 million each paid by India can buy seven J10s with money to spare, and with the latter not lacking in performance, I think the J10 needs no advertising. China can make as many as needed with its control of rare earth elements, titanium, and much cheaper steel, iron and aluminum.
What is even more shocking, according to Kevin is that Chinese PL15 missiles are being made in factories by robots working 24 hours a day. Western weapon manufacturers meanwhile are waiting for China to loosen it rare earth exports before being able to make what is needed. Which is why Trump is pushing for a ceasefire in the Middle East and Ukraine. Putin is not buying it and is continuing with his bombing, infuriating Trump. Israel wants a truce to rearm and regroup, and Hamas must not fall into the trap.
The West tried but never succeeded to control China totally. First was using religion to try to convert the Chinese but failed. They also failed to convert India as well. These are ancient civilizations with thousands of years of history and their own religious culture. It was not to be shaken by just using the Bible.
Next, they tried to drug the Chinese using opium. And they had the audacity to force China to open up the country to the opium trade. This was done in conjunction with the Eight Nations trying to split China up into different concessions, so that the Whites each rule a concession just like in Africa. The Chinese fought back, lost out, but did not succumb and kept trying to get rid of the invaders. China was too big to put down. Yes, China did suffer a century of humiliation having to secede Hong Kong to the British and Macau to the Portuguese as war reparations.
Of course, we know about the recent trade wars, chip wars and tariff wars, all with the intention of putting China down. Now the window to put China down is gone and China is not the China of the last century and a half.
A 20 min cautionary clip for seniors that could save them a lot of money, from fear and maybe from pain and their lives. When one becomes a senior, your body conditions and systems changed accordingly. This is part of ageing and has nothing to fear.
Below is a piece I wrote a few weeks back and finally put it up after viewing the above clip that shared the same views of mine. Live and enjoy life, and don't disturb your body unnecessary when it is taking care of itself and you.
When Healthier SG was launched in 2023, Mr Sebastian Lee signed up with a general practitioner near hishome after seeing advertisements for the health campaign.
While the subsidies and free check-ups drew him in, little did Mr Lee know that this would save his life.
Earlier this year, the 71-year-old retiree found out through a screening under Healthier SG that he had high levels of a protein produced by the prostate gland known as prostate-specific antigens.
After further checks in April this year, he learnt that he had muscle-invasive bladder cancer, believed to be either stage two or three. The tumour was removed on April 22.
Today, doctors are still deciding if he will require chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
“If I had not gone for the health examination, I would not have found out,” said Mr Lee.
“Now that I know I have muscle-invasive bladder cancer, I can seek proper health treatment as recommended by the doctors.” Lorraine Lee CNA
The above is from an article in CNA about Heathier SG and the promise of better health for those above 40. I am 75 going 76 and would like to share some of my thinking about healthy living and how it would affect how long one would live. I am not a medical professional and what I am going to say is just a personal opinion from a layman. Do not take what I say as medical advice.
One thing that struck me about health and living longer is that many believed that there is a direct relationship, ie the healthier you are, the longer you live. The facts are contrary to this belief. There are many with serious illnesses, incapacitated, bedridden, but just would not die even in their 80s and 90s. There are many healthy and fit younger people that died suddenly. In my view, how long a person lives is not directly related to his health. Good health means a person can have a high quality of life while he is alive. It doesn't guarantee he will live longer.
Another point I would like to make is that our body will degenerate and all the parts would gradually age and die. This is nature and the process is slow and gradual. Anyone 60 and above, or even younger, would experience ageing of cells and organs. I can guarantee that if I go for an Xray, CT scan, MRI or a full checkup, many parts of my organs are going to show signs of ageing and dying. I believe that if there is no pain or discomfort, it is better to let the ageing process takes its natural path, gradually. If your parts are not ageing and dying, you are not human. But if there are pains and discomfort, then better go see a doctor.
I choose not to go for a medical checkup because my body is functioning normally for my age. The last medical checkup I did was on my ROD from Reservist. That was not really a thorough checkup but good enough for me. I had a bit of gout problem on my toe and the doctor was very persistent to the point of irritating that I should go for a thorough check up. He was annoyed that I refused to do so. By the way, my gout condition has disappeared with a little care with my diet. I am still competing in the 100m sprint for seniors. The most important things, I can eat, sleep, pee and shit normally.
What is likely to happen if I go for a full medical checkup is that I will be presented with a list of all the ageing parts in the body, little polyps here and there, dead tissues, mostly benign, not malignant. At this age, there will be many dead spots all over for sure. But if they are not affecting my daily activities, no pain and discomfort, why would I want to poke at them, or even worse, go and cut it up? In my view, some medical views also agree, that poking at benign growth or tissues could cause it to break out and spread and become malignant. The above clip discussed about the risks of doing an ops or some professional procedures.
I choose to let the body adjust by itself. The body is supposed to take care of itself, to heal itself, in the best way possible. If I can do all the physical activities normally, I am very happy and satisfied. Why spend more money and risk getting into more trouble when I can live normally? Why go for a checkup and be frightened by all the spots in the body and starts to worry about this and that? Sure, the ageing parts would go on ageing and soon I will die like everyone else. Touch wood, I could go on for a few more years living normally before ageing takes its natural course. We will all die sooner or later.
One thing for sure, your health does not determine how long you live but how well you live. Take care of your health, do some exercises within the limits of your body conditions. Don't overindulge in anything, in exercises or in eating, drinking or merry making. Moderation is everything.
The Americans and Israelis have the Arab and Muslim states by their balls, literally speaking. They have all the military power to wipe them out at their whims and fancies and knowing no one is out there to stop them. And the Arab and Muslim leaders understand this and thus have to behave appropriately, even to kiss the ass of Trump and Netanyahu to the dismay of their people and hurting their own pride. But what can they do? They are held at ransom by the two terrorist states that have no inhibition to attack them, to assassinate them. The two terrorist heads in Washington and Tel Aviv talked about it openly. Their latest, letting Khamenei live for a while, how long depends on which side of the bed they wake up the next morning.
The Arab and Muslim states are held at ransom by the American and Israeli terrorists, with the threat to bombing them to oblivion, with nuclear bombs. The problem with the Arab and Muslim states is that they could not find any weakness in the Americans and the Israelis, unable to deal with them, unable to hit back and fear being blasted to the Stone Age.
Are the Americans and Israelis really that formidable, without any weakness, without any Achilles Heel? For a long while, the Israelis have built a myth that they are invincible, nothing can harm them, Israel is an impenetrable fortress. The Iron Dome, David Sling and whatever would keep them safe from any attack or harm. The Arabs and Muslims believe this and give up, no point trying.
The latest missile attack by Iran has exposed the weaknesses of the Israeli defence system. Israel is not defensible and can be destroyed. All the big cities like Tel Aviv can be destroyed, flattened, turned into the likes of Gaza. The Americans and Israelis have threatened all the Arab and Muslim states to turn them into Gaza, especially with nuclear bombs by the unscrupulous terrorists in Tel Aviv. They did not make any pretence about it, about what they would do. The threat is real.
The Arab and Muslims states did not have nuclear bombs to nuke Tel Aviv and other big Israeli cities. This is the key reason why the Israelis are obsessed that no Arab and Muslim state can have nuclear bombs. They would bomb Iran again. The Israelis were working with the Indians to nuke Pakistan too.
The Arab and Muslim states, other than Pakistan, may not have nuclear bombs now. But the same damages of a nuclear bomb can be achieved in Tel Aviv or any big Israeli cities by 100, 200, 500 or 1,000 hypersonic missiles with conventional bombs. Iran has more than 10,000 of them. The combined arsenal of the Arab and Muslim world could have another few thousand of such conventional bombs.
Yes, Tel Aviv and other Israeli big cities can be flattened by a few hundred bombs. This can be the ransom the Arab and Muslim states are looking for. Finally they have enough bombs to hit the big cities of Israel. And to flatten them and decimate the whole cities and their population, don't need that many bombs. The thing is that it can be done. The Arab and Muslim states can now turn the table against the Israelis by threatening to send everything they have to the big Israeli cities if they are bombed or nuked by the Americans or the Israelis.
The big cities are Israel's Achilles Heels. Israel cannot take such hits. In the past they thought nothing can hit their big cities. This is no longer true, just Israeli and American fiction. What the Iranians did in the 12 Day War is a game changer. The Arab and Muslim states can now recalibrate their defence strategies against Israel, no longer be held at ransom. They can hold the Israelis at ransom, not for a few hostages, but a few big cities, including Tel Aviv and all the Israelis in them. This is another version of MAD. Both can now play the threatening game, a suicidal game.
Trump is gloating about his deal with Vietnam with tariffs reduced to 20% instead of 48%, while Vietnam will allow USA products to enter Vietnam tariff free.
In the face of the zero tariffs imposed by Vietnam, what products are USA companies making in USA going to sell in Vietnam that the Vietnamese are not already making themselves? Maybe Trump needs a market for his US$5 million golden visas, gold coins with his face, his own brand of lotion and perfumes, maybe arm-twisting Vietnam by force if necessary? India was arm twisted to buy expensive military equipment because Indian consumers cannot afford other expensive USA products. In the process Modi backstabbed Putin by buying weapons from USA instead of Russia. Trump laid a trap for Modi, to sour his relationship with Putin, and he fell headlong into it
On the surface, Trump has a good deal with Vietnam, until you realize that many USA companies are doing manufacturing in Vietnam in every sector, and Trump's 20% is also punishing them, with their exports to USA more expensive for USA consumers. Most other manufacturing entities are basically Chinese companies manufacturing in Vietnam, and their products will also be more expensive for the USA market. The loser is still USA importers and consumers.
On the other side of the coin, what products are the USA selling to Vietnam when many of them are already manufacturing products in Vietnam, competing with the Chinese and others? Are they going to be cheaper than Chinese manufactured goods made in Vietnam factories? So, even without tariffs can imported USA products sell in Vietnam?
The military supplies sector is one area that China also has a massive advantage to move into, not that China is not already doing so. China has all the rare earth elements and processing logistics, all the iron, steel, aluminum and other essential metals like titanium all at much cheaper prices than the USA (that is raising tariffs on them to thwart its own military industrial complex and manufacturing sectors), all the supply chains to cater to a particular sector, a ready supply of skilled engineers and scientists that China had been training over the past decades. All these are long-term thinking by the Chinese leaders.
Western leaders are short-term thinkers, wanting quick short-term returns, ignoring the long-term consequences. They have been nakedly exposed for their warped thinking. Greed has led them to forget about needing to go for the raw materials, rare earth resources and refining logistics, new growth sectors and blaming others for their missing the bus when they are late for the party. A perfect example is their pre-occupation with logging on to protect its internal combustion engines (ICE) car manufacturers when others are already in the thick of the EV revolution and zooming ahead. The blame should fall on the fossil fuel lobby in the USA, of which Trump is a big supporter. That is one evil with businesses using campaign donations to pursue an agenda.
Even Tesla, the pioneer of EVs, despite its head start, is facing severe headwinds from Chinese EV makers, not to talk about those USA and EU late comers hitching a ride on the EV revolution. I think the USA and EU have comprehensively lost the EV battle and the market, and the only way out for them is erecting barriers or banning Chinese EVs entering their market, which is a fruitless battle. When they cannot compete at home against Chinese EVs and resorting such tactics, how are they going to compete outside the USA and EU? Just making highly expensive EVs for a limited market is suicidal.
By the way, here in Singapore, according to one onlooker, it was reported that BYD sold more than six thousand EVs in 2024, ahead of all others. It already sold more than three thousand EVs or 20% of total EV sales in Singapore just four months into 2025. And BYD is a very late comer to the Singapore EV market, entering only in 2023, which makes it even more worrying for other EV makers. No, I am not paid by BYD or CCP to promote its sales.
All these grandstanding policies by the USA are going to backfire badly or are already backfiring against the USA.
Taking the Chip war as an example, the policy is really forcing China to dive headlong to prioritize chip development which it would not have done so and still content to rely on imported chips from USA, Japan and South Korea for a longer duration. Now the chip market in China is closing for these three countries like in motor vehicles.
And those chip factories set up by TSMC and others in Arizona are not even proven to be progressing unhindered with unforeseen issues cropping up and delaying the production schedule. By the time they are sorted out, especially to train skilled workers, China would already be self-sufficient and dominating. The China high speed train waits for nobody to catch up.
Decoupling from China is also proving to be a no go, which is why it is now called 'de-risking' with even the nonsense about over-capacity thrown in. Right now, China is exporting less to the USA and more to the Global South, a growing market that cannot be ignored. China is building all the new bridges to take advantage of the situation, which is in fact a blessing in disguise. The USA on the other hand is blowing up bridges and closing its doors. Who would investors bet on to invest in manufacturing? It is a no brainer choice.
Now, the USA and Israel have forced Iran's hand to make nuclear weapons. And China has also benefitted from the miscalculation of Trump and Netanyahu, selling more weapons to Iran to beef up its defense capabilities. This is another example of backfiring against the USA.
The Americans, Israelis and all the white countries are calling for stopping Iran from having nuclear bombs. They take it as their right and they are the authority in this world, to decide who can have nuclear bombs and who cannot, and only the white men have the right to have nuclear bombs, the more the merrier. North Korea is still being sanctioned and isolated by the white regimes and condemned, not allowed to trade with the world, not allowed to join the international community.
All the white countries supported the bombing of Iran to stop Iran from making nuclear bombs. They would not even listen to Iran saying their nuclear facilities are for commercial and peaceful use. They just bombed Iran as the right of the white men. White men's Rules Based Order. They write the rules for coloured people to obey. According to Dr Oalaalou, 6 Arab states actually supported the American and Israeli bombing of Iran. Can you beat that?
All the western media would not raise the issue of stopping Israel from having nuclear bombs. They would not talk about it. China and Russia, and the Global South must speak out and call for the bombing of Israel nuclear facilities and nuclear weapons,to destroy Israel's nuclear weapons. This is only fair and just. Why should white men be so special, why should Israel be so special? In fact, the world should call for the ban on all nuclear weapons.
The rogue American regime has the most nuclear weapons and still producing them, making bigger and more deadly nuclear bombs. Why is it acceptable? No country is exceptional to have the exclusive privilege of having nuclear bombs to threaten other countries. The rules of the white men to order and rule the coloured people must be abolished for good. America is a rogue country, a terrorist state. They are not exceptional, only exceptional in committing genocides and starting wars.
No nuclear weapons for all. Period. Bomb Israel to get rid of its nuclear bombs and facilities. This is a principle that must be upheld by all countries, big or small.
China is an enigma, a civilization that the West can never understand. China is also a different economic power to take down, having the manufacturing capacity and the huge consumer market at the same time, unlike Japan and Germany. The latter two have the manufacturing power but not the market to back up. And they succumbed to the USA's effort to put them under its thumb.
The USA had never been tested before in competition, not with the Soviet Union that has technological expertise but little economic clout. China, according to John Mearsheimer is a peer competitor, a competitor for the USA in every sector, be it economic or military. The USA knows that a rising China is bad news for the USA Empire doing forward.
What makes it even more dire for the USA is its policy of making more enemies than allies, with only the Anglo-Saxon Whites rallying behind it, together with some silly hangers-on like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and you know who.
Before being able to set up manufacturing, Trump imposed tariffs to do what? Just to make life more miserable for USA importers and consumers. Make American Great Again he boasted.
Now Trump's red hat reads 'Gulf of America'. He is no longer making American great. He is making himself great coming up with new business ventures like making perfumes and lotions under his name. People claimed that he smelt like shit, with some suspecting he is wearing a urine bag. Yeh, he needs lots of perfume to musk his shit smell.
Wonder how successful his US$5 million golden visa sales was. Many have already been conned by his crypto coin bearing his face. They should know that this man is in the business of conning people.
More to come with Chinese weapons export to Iran. After all, more strategic co-operation can be signed, with Iran using oil for payment, which China needs in abundance at good discounts. Are the Chinese also selling weapons to Iran at discounts? China should be giving deep discounts since countries like Pakistan are doing the free testing and advertising for them.
I think it is a good strategy adopted by China, selling weapons that the PLA probably is not figuring in its arsenal, freely without having to fear the leaking of security issues. Countries do not have to buy them and stationed them in China, LOL. Even a UK F35 marooned in Kerala is under heavy guard for fear of security leakage. That is for a plane that is probably two decades old, my goodness. Remember that F35 that fell from a carrier into the South China Sea in January 2022? There was much fear of China salvaging it. But China was not interested even in trying to go for it. China probably knows it is obsolete but still being hyped up.
I think there is a goldmine opening up for China in the global military hardware sector. When it takes off, hmm, wonder if that over-capacity demonization is again going to rear its ugly head. I would not bet against that, as that will be China eating the lunch of the traditional weapon manufacturers.
While the Anglo-Saxons invaders celebrate July 4th as their National Day of independence from their forebears Anglo-Saxon Britain the native Americans commemorate this day as the official establishment of the diabolical systematic genocide of the natives by the white invaders.
The founding of the United States has tremendous evil diabolical ramifications for the whole world. The Anglo-Saxon white invaders of US have inherited all the evil satanic behaviour and draconian traits of their forebears the Anglo-Saxon Britain. They are intrinsically evil with wild and savage warlike instincts always looking for wars of invasion to attack and kill without mercy and to loot and plunder wherever they set foot on.
They have genocided more than a hundred million north American natives in the most brutal manner and then claimed the natives land as their own. They are also the most abominable sadist psychopath for they habitually capture natives be they men, women or children and tortured them in the most wanton manner until they die. They set fire to natives homes and when the natives ran out of their homes they were picked off by white shooters who hid behind walls or trees. Very often when they lost the fights against the natives they would appeal to the native leaders to start talks and negotiations purportedly to talk peace but actually they had hidden agenda to ambush the native leaders before descending on the native villages to set them on fire and subsequently to kill all the native villagers. These callous and savage practices were repeated in other lands and countries wherever the United States set out to invade , plunder and kill. The evil practice has never stopped and is ongoing right up to the present time .
In the 1890s US attacked and invaded Cuba. The Cubans put up very strong resistance and drove out the American invaders after suffering a few hundred thousand casualties.
From 1830s onwards the maniac Anglo-Saxon Americans descended on Hawaii and through deception and subterfuge it infiltrated into the native government of Hawaii. Soon the white invaders acquired almost all the fertile lands in Hawaii for their cash crops like sugarcane, pineapple and other fruit crops. This greatly impoverished the natives who were paid a beggar's wage that they could hardly survive. When native Hawaiians rose up in revolution against the marauding American invaders they were massacred by the hundreds of thousands and the native queen ruler was soon deposed and Hawaii came under US direct rule and in which it illegally annexed it to the United States as its 50th state in the 1950s.
Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam faced similar fate and bad destiny as Hawaii in1898. The Filippinos fought against American aggression and invasion with great courage and bravery. In this struggle against the diabolical American aggression and invasion more than a million Filippinos were blatantly butchered before they succumbed to the marauding invaders overbearing firepower. The Philippines was subjected to ruthless US rule and exploitation until the end of the Second World War when in 1947 it got its independence from the psychopath Americans.
Practically most countries in all the six continents came under the most ruthless and savage incursions and invasion by the abominable United States. Even big countries like China, Russia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Ecauda, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iraq and Iran are subjected to US bully and harassment.
But as Russia and China rise up in strength militarily, economically, politically and industrially and with the rest of most countries of the South rising in tandem the bully days of the despical United States are numbered.
There is nothing ever good in the Anglo-Saxons United States. It has created so many endless wars of pain and destruction to almost all the countries in the world for the last over two hundred forty years that heaven is now calling for its destruction. This can be seen in the internal chaos and debacles in US, in the bitter strive among their politicians in the Republican and Democrats parties, in their civil disorders and homelessness of the tens of millions of Americans living in poverty and insecurity and in the dilapidaed state of their buildings and infrastructures.
The horrendous and wanton cruelty of the Anglo-Saxon United States is beyond human endurance and this has incurred the wrath of God who will soon pronounce the death knell of the United States as is seen in the signs of US debacle in the Middle East in Palestine, Iran and in Ukraine. Therefore July 4th the abominable date in US calendar history will soon be obliterated and be forgotten forever and so it will be the fall and end of the diabolical illegal United States which will be cast into the dust of history
Gangster and Fox News fiction news reader turned politician, Pete Hegseth, called on Asian and Asean countries to raise their defence budget to 5% to counter a China threat. To many Asian and Asean countries, China is their biggest trading partner, the engine of growth in the region. Their relations with China are cordial and symbiotic, win win for both sides. China is NOT a threat to any Asian and Asean countries.
The real threat to peace and security in the region is the evil American Empire. China is not planning any war with any country, did not call any country threat or enemy. It is the warmongering American terrorists that is calling China a threat, that China is enemy, and the American terrorists are planning a war with China in 2027. Not only that, all the tension in the region, in Korea, Taiwan and the South China Sea are incited by the American terrorists, trying to provoke a war in the region. The American terrorists are not satisfied with the 3 wars they have started, in Ukraine, Gaza and against Iran. They want more wars.
It is for this reason that Asian and Asean countries must raise their defence budget to 5% in anticipation of a war in the region, with the Americans as the aggressor, the provocateur, the mastermind of all wars all over the world. No Asian or Asean countries are talking about war. There are differences like all countries everywhere, and these can be settled by negotiation and diplomacy, not resorting to wars like the white savages.
Asian and Asean countries should not be drawn into a war started by the American terrorists. They should increase their defence expenditure to deter the likes of the American terrorists and European savages wanting to set up an Asian NATO to control and rule the region, to reintroduce European colonialism in Asia.
The USA a real and imminent threat seeking to "fundamentally alter the region's status quo", to be the hegemon of the region, to rule the coloured people in the region. Asian and Asean states must be on high alert and be very suspicious and cautious of the ill intent and motive of the American terrorists. Wherever the American terrorists appear, there is tension and war. Get rid of the American terrorists and there will be peace.
The American rogue regime must not be allowed to start WW3. They just bombed Iran and continue to genocide the Palestinians. Such evil regime must not be allowed to deceive the world that they are for peace. Only the brain dead Anglophiles will believe in their vicious lies. They want to be ruled by the white men, they want Asean to be ruled by the white men.
Just like EVs, China is going to experience a boom in military equipment sales. China has the raw materials like rare earth, iron and steel, cheap energy, skilled workers, a strong manufacturing base and Government subsidies that are always being channeled into growth sectors. Now the military weapons export sector is going to be another growth sector for China to leverage on.
While the West is still concentrating on China's real estate problems, China has moved away from throwing good money after bad by bailing out failing property developers in trouble. As Xi warned, homes are for living, not for speculation and those who speculate should suffer for their own greed. China is moving good money into growth sectors like chips, aviation, infrastructure (not real estate), factory automation and robotics, AI innovation and now military equipment manufacturing.
Having said that, China is not letting up on investments in agriculture, aquaculture and food security. While the world is busy with fighting tariff and trade wars, China is quietly building up its aquaculture and is now the runaway leader in rearing seafood for human consumption. How many are aware of that? China has even been exporting caviar, the much sought after roe delicacy from the sturgeon fish and is killing the traditional exporters from the West. China is now a growing artificial diamond producer, another growth sector. I think I do not have to provide more examples of what goes on behind the scenes, un-noticed while the world is fixated on wars, tariffs and Trump's antics.
China has many avenues for investing in and which have been reaping positive returns successfully.
With old leaders killed or assassinated, a new cohort of new and younger Iranian leaders may have been put into power, with more radical ideas and strategy. For better or worse, we shall see. With new weapons, new ideas, new priorities and new alliances, the way forward for Iran is not all doom and gloom as prophesied by the USA, Israel and the West.
Iranians, or Persians as they were known in the past, are people with tenacity, pride and will fight for their beliefs. Like China, the Persian empire had been shaped by various dynasties in the past. Yet is still stands today, like China. The West tried to influence the direction of the country, installing the pro-Western leaders like the last Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in an attempt to control the country, but was overthrown by the Iranians after an Islamic revolution in 1979 over two incidents, a fire and a massacre.
By the way, the offspring of that Shah, just like what Bong Bong Marcos did, is still trying to destabilize Iran outside the country, hoping to return to rule, but to no avail. A regime change touted by Trump could benefit him.
I believe the purchase of the J10C by Iran is already confirmed together with other weapons.
What countries the USA and the West refused to sell weapons to, China is going into that lucrative market for sure. Egypt, Indonesia and Bangladesh are potential buyers of the J10C. And it is going to eat deeply into the bottom lines of USA and EU manufacturers of military aircrafts and weapons.
While China's Comac C919 civilian aircrafts are still using foreign made engines, though not for long, Chinese fighter jets like the J10C are being retrofitted with China's domestically developed engines. This is a very important strategy, knowing that using foreign developed engines comes with high risk and uncertainty should countries try to cut off exports just like high end chips. China must always continue to think far ahead of the competition and adopt the motto 'Be Prepared' before the shit hits the fan.
After having confirmed that Chinese jets and weapons are no junks by Pakistan, I think many other countries are seriously looking at buying Chinese weapons. Cheaper, better and I believe not with iron chains attached, like some countries buying the F35s and forced to keep them in USA. There is a serious problem with the radar evasion coating of the F35s that needed recoating frequently after a couple of flights, if I am not mistaken. Paying through their noses to buy the F35s to protect the USA is more likely.
22 min clip by Professor Richard Wolff on Israel's Final Solution against the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East, about what Israel is trying to do, to repeat what the white Americans did more than 200 years ago in North America. Israel's 7m population trying to swallow up Iran with 90m population and the whole Middle East, with the hope of dragging in the Americans to do the job for them.
This clip is educational for the Anglophiles that are not brain dead, and those who have not been told the story of European colonialism and still thinking that colonialism and white Imperialism are good things to have happened for them. For the brain dead Anglophiles, this clip is useless to them as they would not want to see the truth. For those who are still seeking and wanting to find the truth with an open mind, this clip will help as Wolff explained it as clear and simple as he could.
What Israel is trying to do today is futile, unacceptable morally, politically and militarily. The whole world condemns Israel and USA's genocide in Gaza. The only supporters of American and Israeli genocides are the brain dead Anglophiles in Asean. They are keeping very quiet about the genocide and the unprovoked unilateral bombings of Iran by Israel and the USA. Their silence is their way of supporting the aggressive and criminal acts of the Americans and Israelis.
By now rogue Trump must have got the message, that he would not be invited to China. Period. Trump is PNG in China. Not welcome.
So what is this rogue trying to do now to deceive China that he is a nice guy, he likes China, he likes Xi, Xi is his good friend? Trump has been making all kinds of delusionary condescending remarks about China, hoping that the Chinese would be dull enough to think Trump has changed, or Trump is extending an olive branch to China, wanting to rebuild the disastrous relationship under his watch.
On his own merit or demerit, China would never want to look at him a second time. So, Trump is cunningly sending a message that he is going to bring along a team of top American businessmen with him for business talks in China. He is hiding behind this trade delegation to get a ticket to China. How real is this? Would the Chinese be dumb to think that there is an opportunity to make friends with the rogues, scoundrels and war hawks in Washington? Whatever agreements signed, Trump can tear them to pieces the next day. Trump does not honour his words or agreements made. That his art of the deal or steal. It takes a bigger fool to think he can trust Trump and wants to make a deal with Trump. Every deal or steal he makes is, I win you lose.
Remember, all the tariffs, sanctions, trade bans against Chinese leaders, Chinese companies, Chinese products are still intact. All the bans on high tech chips are still in force. The Americans have not given an inch, not giving in on anything. They still want to 'force buy' TikTok, want to stop TSMC China from production in China. They are still inciting Taiwan to break away from China, selling weapons to Taiwan, sending American soldiers to Taiwan, agitating the Philippines to provoke China...and openly saying that they are preparing to attack China. China is America's number one enemy!
Why would China want to invite their enemy America, and scoundrel Trump to Beijing? Remember, everyday the American rogues are scheming and cooking up more things to attack China, without a day of reprieve. The attack and anti China tirades and provocations are increasing daily.
Would China be foolish enough to fall into rogue Trump's trap and lies, and invite him to China only to be kicked in the ass the moment he left China? Being fooled once, fair enough. Being fool a second time, you are stupid. Being fool a third time, go jump into Huang He.
Trump and the American hillbillies always believe the Chinamen are stupid and can easily be conned to do stupid things without knowing that they are stupid. China can confirm this assumption by inviting Trump to Beijing and kiss his ass in front of the Chinese people and the whole world.
Not only did the USA and Israel failed to destroy Iran's nuke program but their un-focus operation makes the Iranians more determined. There was even a fatwa by the Iranian ruler in 2005 (?) never to make a bomb. But the USA and Israel, determined to start a war with Iran is forcing Iran's hand to do the inevitable.
This is the same modus operandi that the USA is using, trying to stifle China using the semiconductor strangle that is now coming back to haunt the USA. As they say, what does not destroy China will only make it stronger. So, it has been.
Many are asking in bewilderment why are entities like TSMC are investing in a manufacturing behemoth in a desert region with little water, when semiconductor manufacturing entities needs plenty of water. Did not TSMC know? Oh, they do know, with Morris Chang already sounding his alarm years ago. It must again be stupidity having no cure.
Now China is not too far behind in making higher-end chips and even chip making machines, and the USA and the West can discount it and brush it aside. It has now been the belief that AI is not all about using the most high-end chips, but how chips are put together to get a much cheaper result. Lawrence Wong was talking about this issue and in his opinion, trying to curb China's chip technology is a fruitless endeavor. There will be short term gain for the USA, if any, but will be a much bigger loss in the longer term, when China is capable of being independent when it comes to chip production.
Iran should not rejoin the IAEA, no matter what touted changes are made inside the IAEA. Being under the control of the USA and the West, any new appointee to head the agency will still toe the same line as Rafael Mariano Grossi, suspected of working for the Israelis and giving false information about Iran's nuclear program and information that enabled Israel and the USA to target Iranian nuclear scientists and engineers working on Iran's nuclear program.
Any change inside the IAEA will just be cosmetic when its agenda is working for the USA, Israel and the West, just like any other world body now existing.
Just as seen in aviation, the USA and EU refused to certify China's Comac C919 aircrafts for international service, despite satisfying all the parameters. The certifying body in aviation is controlled by the West, whose motive is to keep Boeing's and Airbus's monopolistic position in global aviation and keep others out.
But China is not too rattled, as the Chinese aviation market is big enough for Comac to survive just building planes for the domestic market. When a push leads to a shove, China can always make domestic aviation the playground of Comac itself. The USA and EU better play their cards more smartly if they want to destroy Comac's C919 from accessing the global market.
Trump is again selling snake oil, something he is an expert in, claiming that he has many very rich friends ready to buy Tik Tok. Why keep extending the deadline for Tik Tok if that is so. Has China or ByteDance agreed to sell? What if ByteDance refused to sell and even prepared to exit the USA for good?
The Trump administration has again resorted to unrealistic grandstanding that many countries are now queueing up to negotiate the tariff issue with the USA knowing that the deadline is expiring on July 9. So far, from all reports, only the UK has negotiated and given the wrong end of the stick by Trump. And as usual, Kier Starmer is proclaiming victory even though being forced to bend over backwards by Trump. Even Japan has pulled out over the demand that it has to increase its military budget to 5%.
Trump is even trying to congratulate himself that he is also negotiating with China, the second country besides the UK, when the only reality is that after two meetings, in Switzerland and London, only a framework for further negotiation have been declared. That is nowhere near to a complete agreement. Yet Trump is gloating about China agreeing to loosen its rare earth exports to the USA. How delusional he is, or should I even say he is out of his mind.
Countries not going to Washington to kiss Trump's arse are saying, no big deal if we just cut off trading with the USA. They are beginning to realize that there is a bigger world outside the USA with more than three quarters of global population to trade with. China, India and Africa together have 4.2 billion headcount and that is not taking in other big population countries like Indonesia and Pakistan.
China has completely adopted zero tariffs to help African countries and who do we think they will do business with henceforth.
An “informed source in Tehran” reached out to RT on Monday, saying that “Iran will make the next war with Israel its last war.” The unnamed person stated that during the latest escalation with Israel, Iran had “found the [Israeli] regime’s weak point.”
They further claimed that the Islamic Republic still has “tens of thousands” of “new generation missiles,” and would “fire at least hundreds of missiles at Israel daily,” in case of a new military confrontation.
According to the source, the Iranian authorities have “unprecedented social support” from the population at home, as well as Iranians living abroad, to use a “historic opportunity to permanently neutralize the Israeli regime’s threat”. RT
The 12 Day War with Israel is a real shocker to the Israelis. Their arrogance and over confidence were shattered forever. Crime Minister Netanyahu and his war criminals must be in panic mood after discovering the strength of Iran and the vulnerability of Israel. Yes, Iran has tested its ability to destroy Israel in a single day. Iran's Defence Minister has disclosed that Iran only used 5% of its missile arsenal against Israel and the more advanced and deadly missiles are still yet to be used.
In a total war of annihilation against Israel, Iran could just let everything go at Israel, no holds bar. All the big cities will be prime targets, military bases, air and sea ports, industrial sites, residential area, stolen lands from the Palestinians, would all be hit at random, without any reservation. The primary objective would be to flatten everything in Israel, like what the American terrorists did to North Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. No building or structure would be left standing. This is what Iran could do to Israel.
When Iran takes such a decision, all the Arab and Muslim states would no longer hold back. They too would do their parts to finish, neutralise Israel forever. The Israelis would have no time to respond, no chance to respond in an all out attack against that tiny piece of land called Israel, but actually occupied Palestinian land. Israel's position today is precarious. Many Israelis have fled Israel.
The Americans could come in to fight on the side of the Israelis as before. Israel was able to defeat the Arab and Muslim states in the past not because it was the Israelis fighting. It was the Americans, the Brits, the French and other Europeans fighting on the side of the Israelis. No way can the Israelis win a war against the Arab and Muslim states fighting alone. It was all a hoax, a lie, that the Israelis were invincible, world best soldiers. Just look at the Israeli boys and girls in uniform fighting the Hamas in Gaza, they were green little boys and girls.
A blitzkrieg would not give the Americans and the Europeans a chance to join in. By the time they know what is happening, it would all be over. And Iran would not be alone. China and Russia would be there to take on the Americans, to provide nuclear cover for the Iranians.
In the meantime, the Iranians must be on full alert from now. The Israelis and the Americans are planning to wipe them up in a similar fashion, a surprise attack on all Iranian military assets, nuclear sites, oil fields and even big cities. Iran be warned. Stop sleeping and think that you are safe when the two most savage tribes are planning to turn Iran into another Gaza. The war is not over. I say again, the war is not over. Iran is in a very dangerous position and the surprise attack by the evil Americans and the Israelis can come at any moment.
Iran had been caught sleeping twice, bombed by the Israelis and then by the Americans. Both the Americans and the Israelis are rethinking their strategy to take out Iran. They know that just bombing Iran's nuclear sites would not work. They are talking about the Final Solution again, for Iran. There shall be no pity or compassion if the Iranians continue to go to sleep and be attacked and wiped out a third time. They deserved to be destroyed for good if they think they can trust and believe the Americans and the Israelis would be kind to them, not to decimate them for their absolute security.
Stupidity has no cure and there is no point feeling sorry or pitiful for the stupid that asked to be destroyed. The Americans and the Israelis have come to the conclusion that Iran must go, must not allow to exist, just like China and Russia. Without Iran, China or Russia around, the rest of the Arab and Muslim states would be easily converted into another United States of Israel, in the same manner as how the USA was created.
Israel thought the Iranians are like Hamas, which they thought they could easily walk over like taking candy from a kid. Yes, Israel has won a glorious six-day war against the Arabs before, with all the help from the USA, UK and France among others, and which it is thinking of repeating. Yet, after such brutal assault, the war against Hamas is still ongoing after a year and a half.
The retaliation by Iran probably astounded Trump and Netanyahu, such that they needed to call a truce. Many are saying the USA and Israel are running out of weapons and needed a truce to regroup and rearm. Many of the hypersonic missiles raining on Tel Aviv were never expected and the damage was as bad a those in Gaza. I think the Israelis in Tel Aviv are as bewildered as the Palestinians in Gaza, having never faced such onslaught from any Arab or Muslim neighbors. Israel's invincibility after this war has been totally shattered.
Iran is now confirmed to be buying Chinese weapons - the J10C and I believe also the hypersonic PL15E on top of other Chinese defensive weapons. Bear in mind that some weapons have not even been tested so far in real combat other than those used by the Pakistanis. And I think the USA and the West cannot call them junks, right?
And what about Iran's nuke program? I think we can hear some news soon and not later. It is a priority for Iran, and they are not wasting precious time now, knowing it is an existential choice.
It is all about inability to compete. Were the USA in a dominating position in manufacturing, overcapacity will be a dirty word. They will claim this is globalization and comparative advantage must be observed for the betterment of the world.
Too bad about trying to flog a dead horse. The whole world is benefitting now from cheap, but not necessarily inferior quality goods. China can make high end goods as well, like luxury begs and Rolex watches, if the price is right. iPhones made in China is another classic example. What the USA customer wants is cheap goods and China just oblige using cheaper materials. It is the same as buying a cheap car versus an expensive high-end car, where the price differential determines the quality. China never put a gun to USA consumer's head or consumers of other countries to demand that they must buy cheap Chinese goods. They can always buy expensive high-end bags, also made in China without the label, or from Japan and the EU, paying a different price.
The USA can only compete by getting rid of the competition, like what they did to the Germans and Japanese. The latter two were also not making enough of cheap products like China, due to their high cost of input like higher wages and supply chain restrictions. China is in a different position, leveraging on its cheap wages (though that is not the case today), cheap energy, automation and robotics and its total almost in-house supply chain enabling China to cut away middlemen costs as well.
More Chinese cargo planes are going to land in Iran over the next couple of months. Iran's Defense Minister, Aziz Nasir Zadeh is in China attending the SCO meeting and, in all probability, also on a buying spree as well. J10cs, PL15E and other air defense hardware are on the agenda.
The less talked about is the rail link between Iran and China which just opened on May 25, 2025, just weeks before the Israeli pre-emptive strike. Was it a co-incidence or a calculated move, knowing that cargos are going to move to and from China in bulk, which will make the airspace over Iran less free and easy for Israel's F35s, if Chinese air defense equipment starts arriving in Iran which will not make the Israeli strike on an unprepared Iran just child's play.
Iran has a 25-year US$400 billion 'strategic co-operation pact' with China, which goes to show what those rail carriages are now capable of delivering to Iran. Oil from Iran to China is the static, but what is China providing Iran is not clear cut. 'Strategic co-operation' covers a lot of things.
Suffice to say, the strike on Iran was, as much as over the crippling of Iran's nuclear ambition, also meant to cripple Iran's oil flow to China, another avenue to hit China's underbelly. But as the plot goes awry with Iran touting to blockade the Straits of Hormuz, the USA is in panic mode, even telling China to use its influence to deter Iran from closing down the Straits of Hormuz. Why would China really be rattled over the closure of the Straits of Hormuz' when oil shipments could now even be delivered using the rail link? More expensive and inconvenient, but not totally impossible.
If Trump manages to lure all manufacturing he gloated about to the USA and the USA becomes the factory of the world, Trump will outlaw the demonization of the word 'overcapacity'. Overcapacity will then become the next big and beautiful word that Trump discovered, like the word tariff. When a man-child discovers a little word, it is big news, like a toddler in kindergarten.
The real dirtiness in the word 'overcapacity' should be literally applied to the overcapacity in money printing and military spending of the USA. In a literal sense, the rampant corruption evident in these two overhyped entities, the Fed/US Treasury and Pentagon is well defined.
Printing money in the trillions from thin air, without backing, is as bad as counterfeiting if done by anyone else. And let us not talk about the massive corruption inside the Pentagon, where contractors ripped them off like fools. Perhaps not just ripping them off but leveraging on the whole corrupt hierarchy allowing such corruption to fester.
The game is going to be over soon. As the debt spirals with another couple of trillions added, the interest payments alone will collapse the house of cards. USA leaders keep insisting that the USA can never default and its debts can go up forever without collapsing. Wonder who is going to lend them more money to prop up the house of cards. The UK?
Pakistan is using J10C, PL15 and the whole defence operating system. Egypt is using the same system. Iran is negotiating to buy the same system. Indonesia is doing likewise. The success of the Chinese weapon system using J10C and PL15 against the best and most hyped French Rafales is an eye opener. It is now battle tested and no more propaganda and western negative narrative can change this reality. And the better Chinese system is cheaper and did not come with all the political conditions, and no kill switches. More important, they are the nemesis of the Americans and the West, the oppressors of the rest of the world.
China has no reason to undermine the weapon systems they sold to be used against China's enemy number one. China has all the reasons to want the users of its systems to triumph over the Americans and the West. It is not just about money and profit. It is to take down American and western domination and hegemony. Countries of the Global South can have all the confidence to use Chinese weapon systems against the Americans and the West. It would be a beautiful day when the Chinese systems used in the Middle East, by Iran or Egypt or other Arab and Muslim states to knock down all the F35s, F15s and all the jests the West claimed to be world best, like the myths of the Iron Dome and Patriot missile systems or THAAD.
The day of reckoning is near. The battlefield is the best and undisputable judge of what is best and what is real. The Chinese weapon systems are just like the EVs, proven on the roads by the users and will debunk all the western military myths of superiority. Like the EVs, it will replace all the overhyped and overprices western weapon systems. Chinese equipment and weapons are cheap and good.
Who would still be silly enough to pay until their pants dropped for questionable products like the F35s or the already proven no match Rafales? Who would still be craving for Patriot missiles or Israeli Iron Domes? Who would still be fearful of the American aircraft carriers? If in still in doubt, ask the Houthis.
The Arab and Muslim states would no longer be oppressed and suppressed by the Americans, the Israelis and the West. Their liberation Day is here, with the best weapons China can provide to fight for their own freedom against the oppressive and bullying Americans and the West. The cocky Mickey Mouse Israel has found its match in Iran. Iran has proven that it can wipe out the whole of Israel. If the war continues, there will be no Tel Aviv, Haifa or any Israeli city left standing.
Thank goodness, Iran is learning fast from its lazy past. The new mantra is 'be prepared' for another surprise attack, which is going to come sooner than later. They have to keep the reality show running with Trump and Netanyahu losing support at home and overseas. Understand that Israelis are now running to Cyprus, which some are saying is turning Cyprus into another Gaza sooner or later. Cypriots better wake up.
Iran is rooting out all the Israeli spies planted inside the country by Israel, that have been giving Israel privy knowledge of important Iranian leader's whereabouts or intended movements for easy assassination. It is surprising that Iranian leaders, military or civilian, were always at the right place and the right time for Israel's assassination squad. Cutting off the IAEA from monitoring its 'destroyed' nuclear facilities is another important step forward to take for Iran.
Iran has now come out officially to say, instead of denying, that those bunker buster strikes have done heavy damage to its nuclear facilities. This is probably now a new strategy being adopted to give Trump the fake satisfaction and a boost to his ego and prevent him from launching further attacks since those facilities have been proven to be destroyed. So far, most analyzing of the damage have all been based on satellite images, nothing on ground-based information. This is where getting out the IAEA sniffer dogs snooping around is important.
There is now much speculation as to where those enriched Uranium are, with some saying it has been moved somewhere outside Iran. True or not I am not sure. If some countries were even on the verge of supplying nukes to Iran should Israel resort to using nukes, what is there to prevent them from allowing Iran to conduct its enrichment program outside Iran and in another country? Unlikely and difficult, but not impossible.
Oh, by the way, the Channel News America woodwork came out with another big news that the Hamas leader that planned the October 7 attack on Israel has been killed. I thought he had been killed many times before if I am not mistaken, LOL. A few days ago, social media also reported that an Iranian leader said to have been killed in an Israeli attack was also shown walking around alive. So much for make-believe.
