Trump gloating about his success in extorting $2.2 trillion from 3 Arab states

The average aircraft carrier costs between $5 billion to $10 billion to build. The exact cost of building an aircraft carrier depends on the carrier’s intended role, size, type, and the country manufacturing it. The manufacturing cost varies by each country, since countries that manufact…bing.com

The price of an American carrier is less than $10b a piece. The most advanced USS Gerald Ford is slightly more, about $13b. Trump's extortion trip to the three riches Arab countries, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE is going to bring in at least a couple of trillion from these states. Saudi Arabia has agreed to pay $600b and Trump is demanding for $1 trillion. Trump knows that these Arab states cannot say no as the American bases and soldiers are in their soil, waiting to conduct a regime change if Trump is unhappy. And Trump sarcastically told these Arab states that the American soldiers are there to protect them when the Arabs know that they were there to control and rule over them.

How many weapons can Saudi buy for $600b? All 11 American aircraft carriers, at $10b each, would cost only $110b. Saudi can ask for all the aircraft in the aircraft carriers and it may not even cost $300b, with another $300b to spare. Saudi Arabia would be the mightiest military power in the world by throwing $300b to Trump. Only caveat, does Saudi Arabia need all the aircraft carriers to threaten the world with invasion and war like the American terrorists?

Oh, Trump is going to sell the most advanced Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia and to the other Arab states, to build super AI systems. Again, for what? Just to boast that they have hundreds of thousands of high end Nvidia chips to fry?

Qatar offered to buy 210 Boeing aircraft, to double or triple its fleet. This would cost nearly $200b. Easy money to Qatar and easy money for Trump to grab. Then there is UAE. How much would Trump squeeze from UAE to protect UAE from being attacked and invaded by the American terrorists or Israel, or from a regime change? Just $1.4 trillion.

The world's number one mafia boss, Trump, has made offers to the three richest Arab states and they cannot refuse. Did Trump send each of the sheik the head of his favourite horse to close the deal? Trump is so friendly and nice to the Arabs and they reciprocated generously by throwing billions or trillions at him. The evil American Empire has descended on the lands of the Arabs for peace and money. Who dares to refuse to pay up when the world's number one terrorist state demands protection money?

US criminalises the world for using Huawei chips

 The American gangster regime in Washington has passed a law to criminalise the use of Huawei chips, the Ascend 910 series. It is a crime to use these chips or equipment with these chips in them. And this gangster law is to apply to all the countries in the world.

China will soon also be criminalising the use of American chips in China, when China has developed all the chips it needs. Then there will be a complete decoupling of the chips and AI industries of the two countries. China may even criminalise the use of Apple products. It is a matter of time.

This new gangster law will have immediate impact on the people of the world. For the BRICS countries, it means nothing. They will just show the middle finger to the American gangsters. For countries still trading with the American gangsters, they would have to be careful. Some countries would ignore this and continue to use Huawei chips if needed.

The problem would be serious in American crony states. Would the American crony states in ASEAN apply this law to their citizens and arrest them for using Huawei chips? Some already succumbed and refused to use Huawei 5G for their communication networks under coercion from their American masters. American crony states are semi American colonies, being ordered around and bullied by the Americans, cannot do this, cannot do that, must be anti China, produce hate news and fake news against China and Russia.

Everyone would be watching which American crony state would be the first to arrest its citizens for using Huawei chips and extradite their citizens to the US, just like the Mickey Mouse that arrested their former president Duterte to be jailed and prosecuted for fighting terrorists and drug lords in their country. All the talks about independence, national sovereignty, national pride and dignity would go into the sewers when such crony states start to obey this American gangster law and criminalise their own citizens because of it. 

Can you believe it? Using a chip is a criminal offence! Using a laptop or mobile phone with Huawei chips is a criminal offence. Not even dare to use the most advanced Huawei 5G network to benefit their own country and people because of American coercion!

Technically, 1.4b Chinese users of Huawei laptops, mobile phones and equipment in China are criminals. This also applies to those in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Asia, India and SE Asia. The rogue regime is going bonkers, making enemies of the world except white men countries and their cronies.

Would you buy an Apple Made in India...and pay premium price for it?

Trump's lying has the backing of the Anglo-Saxon White clique and his US$ hegemony. Modi has nothing to back him up - not from neighbors, not from the Muslims in India, not the Chinese, not the Rupee and of course none of the Whites. Only his religious Hindu fanatics in India look upon Modi as a Hindu God.
Therefore, Modi, in trying to out lie Trump is sure to be trampled like the grass under the foot of fighting elephants. One threat from Trump and Modi bends over backwards just like the old days of the British lording over the Indians. Yes, Sahib, what is your wish would be Modi's answer.

Trump is now playing Modi's backside by calling on Apple not to invest further in India. Strangely, it is not the Chinese telling Apple to do that. The Chinese are laughing their heads off now, and Tim Cook is having a tough decision to make. For Apple to reshore to USA to make iPhones is out of the question, as making iPhones costing a few thousand dollar is not going to sell in the face of competition from Samsung and other Chinese brands.

When Trump can tell that to Apple, isn't it true that he would also be advising other USA companies to refrain from investing in India too as time goes by. Jeffrey Sachs warned Modi earlier about getting played out by the USA and it is coming true. Think about that.

When would Singapore get its autonomous driverless taxis?

Adoption of autonomous vehicles is one race Singapore is not keen on winning

Cities such as Guangzhou and San Francisco already have robotaxis and autonomous buses for public use, but Singapore is treading carefully. This deliberate pace is not hesitation but to ensure safety, among other reasons.  CNA

The above headline in CNA seems out of sync with Singapore's number one in everything mindset. Singapore is taking it slowly, deliberately, and not keen on winning, not wanting to be the first in SE Asia or the world to have autonomous driving cars on the road. 

Actually, Singapore has been testing this technology for more than a decade and still testing. On the other hand, autonomous driving taxis have been on the roads for more than a decade in many cities in China. The US also have them on the road in more progressive and modern cities. In other words, the technology is maturing.  And for Singapore to say that it wants to be the first to get it right the first time is a no brainer. China already got it right more than a decade ago. Singapore is too late, behind time.

What is holding Singapore back from wanting to be in the race for smart cities? Is it because the infrastructure is not there, no good 5G network to keep the technology safe on the road? Half baked western 5G network is not good enough for autonomous self driving cars. Period.

What else is holding back? Crowded cities? The cities in China and cities like Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco are not crowded? Tokyo is not crowded?  Or these cities are not safety conscious, did not care about the safety of their people? What are the among other reasons?

What do you think?


American Inquisition has started by the authoritarian Trump regime

  The authoritarian Trump regime has started an American version of the Spanish Inquisition by attacking the American tertiary learning institutions. Trump is in a way wanting all the American universities to hang his photos in every classroom and lecture hall. He is going to vet and approve the academic staff. He is also going to dictate the student enrolment with the barring of Chinese students top on his list, the banning of Chinese lecturers, researchers and PhD students, in his anti China war.

Many foreign students have their visas terminated and ordered out of the USA for the slightest infringement of American laws like traffic offences and minor indiscretion, or for engaging in student activities and protests, particularly anti Israel and pro Palestinian protests in campus.

The academics and students are now living in fear for being burnt on the stakes at the whims and fancies of the Trump regime and are protesting. The regime is on a witch hunt and acting ruthlessly like religious bigots during the Spanish Inquisition.

This is in addition to the reckless and irresponsible arrest and deportation of immigrants, with many wrongful arrests and deportation to the gulags in El Salvador, guilty without the right to defend themselves in the American courts. No protection of their human rights. The Trump regime does not care. Families were broken up, children deported, bread winners deported, many with no criminal records but mistaken identities. Trump's secret police are no different from the SS of Hitler. No one is safe in America.

America is in chaos, not just because of the trade wars but the Trump Inquisition. The American education industry is going to collapse. No foreign students especially those from China and India would feel safe to want to enroll in American universities. Many foreign academics and professors and researchers would be arrested and imprisoned or force to leave America.

This is what is happening to the evil American Empire, touted as the citadel of democracy, human rights, rules of law country but more like a gangster run mafia Dom. Would the Americans allow mafia chief Trump and his gangsters to take down America or would they rise to take down these hooligans?

Trump versus Modi - The world's two top liars slugging it out

Trump's delusional comments trying to claim credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, by claiming the use of trade measures, has been slammed by the Indians. The Indian Government, not mentioning Modi by name, dismantled Trump's claim, saying that there was nothing about Trump's claim of involvement in or on trade was ever discussed leading to the truce. It was all happening in Trump's mind, trying to claim credit where credit is not due. How he could lie in front of a global audience is really mind boggling. Modi meanwhile is not trying to overstep Trump to claim credit for the truce by coming out personally to comment on Trump's hijacking of his claim to fame, for bringing about the truce that he himself desperately needs to elevate his ego. That shows how Trump has really trampled him into a flat pancake, even ignoring his attempt to salvage his tanking ego.

Trump is probably and desperately trying to influence and garner support and credit to claim the Nobel Peace Prize, looking at what he is doing, but totally failing to settle the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, and now trying to salvage credit over the India/Pakistan conflict. Trump believes in the warped mental state of his mind that the world would just swallow all the lies that comes out of his mouth. Trump even claims he singlehandedly averted a 'bad nuclear war' between India and Pakistan. What is the difference between a 'bad nuclear war' and a 'good nuclear war' in Trump's sick mind is difficult to comprehend. And Trump was gloating about all this in front of an audience during his trip to the Middle East.

The U.S. is the Satan behind all the brutall wars in the last Eighty Years since the end of Second World in 1945.

  The article " India - Pakistan War , putting the pieces together to unveil the devil behind", exposes the demon's hands in the Anglo-Saxons in the U.S. and UK through Deep-Seek astute observation  of the barbaric American psychophant psychic love for violence and permanent warfare to achieve its geopolitical agenda for world hegemony. This Anglo-Saxon American trait for violence and permanent warfare is inherited from its evil forebears the demonic British imperialist.

All the wars in the last eighty years since the end of the Second World War in 1945 were started and created by the United States with the support and connivance of the European countries to hold the whole world under white rule and bondage headed by the Americans. For the last few hundred years the United States was able to bully and attack small countries or big but weak countries  with much success. But with the end of the 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st Century and the rise and renaissance of China as well as the rise of Russia as great super powers in grand alliance the warmongering United States found head winds in its path for world hegemony.

Thus come what come may the United  States must put down Russia and China first before it can achieve total control of the whole world under its hegemony. However, it dare not take on Russia or China alone by itself. So being capricious it adopts a policy of demonizing Russia and China and inciting other countries to go against Russia and China through deception and subterfuge. In the early years of the 20th century it had some success as seen in the wars it created in Southern Europe, Korea, Middle East, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Chechnia in Central Asia of Russia and in Latin America. In the mid 1950s and early 1960s US and UK goaded Nehru's India to go against China and stealthily supplied India with large quantities of the latest modern weapons of the time which resulted in bolstering India's daring in encroaching on China's land in Tibet that culminated in the India-China border war of 1962. However, the war resulted in the trouncing defeat of the Indian army. Just as in the Korean War the US made use of South Korea and many other countries as proxies to fight against North Korea and China so likewise the cunning US made use of India to fight against China. Now the US is trying to incite the recalcitrant Japanese and the comatoes numbskull Filippinos of Marcos Jr to go to war against China as its proxies.

The poor Indians under Modi have no clue as to the sudden visit of Vance - US Vice President. Vance came to India with evil intention and a hidden agenda. If he had good intention he would never appear. To quote a Chinese saying, "Lai Cher Pu Shan - Shan Cher Pu Lai" meaning the visiting messenger has no good intention while the messenger with goodwill will never come".

So the evil U.S. had planned ahead its diabolical plot to make use of India to start its next round of proxy war against China. It had secretly made use of its well trained terrorists and saboteurs to spring a sudden stealthy attack on the Indians in Kashmir. Then behind the scenes U.S had hypocritically warned India of impending attack by Pakistan and the unsuspecting Indians really and stupidly believed so when the American trained terrorists carried out the attack.

Fortunately the resulting aerial battle was a devasting defeat to the Indian airforce. Had the Indians been successful in defeating Pakistan the demonic United States would have planned the next step to encourage India to take on China as it quietly whispered to the Indians that China had a hand in helping Pakistan attack on India. The U.S. would then wickedly incite and instigate India to invade China's border lands in South Western China of Xinjiang and Southern part of Xi Zhang or Tibet, falsely but psychologically assuring of  the Indian superior airforce.

The trouncing disasrous defeat  of the Indian airforce against Pakistan was a slap in the face for U.S. The saving face ceasefire imposed by the Anglo-Saxon Americans is a saving grace for the Indians from being psychoed by the U.S. to start another India-China border war and thus save the Indians from further shame and defeat .

However  the Anglo-Saxons American false ego of its racial primacy and superiority and its disgusting claim of exceptionalism will not stop its objective of securing world hegemony. In the meantime it will pause and take stock of its debacles before continuing its diabolical plot of achieving world hegemony through wars and violence and through deceptions and subterfuge by whatever means. 

The free world and all countries of the South of the non-white world must learn a lesson from native Americans warning that " White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted". How can the white men, the European countries, the Anglo-Saxons Americans and England which in the last over 500 years  had subjected all countries of the South to brutal invasions and atrocities and are continuing to do so now can ever be trusted. They are now trying to dominate the world again through hybrid colonialism and imperialism in the form of  ideological, political, economic, financial, trade and commercial control in addition to their  military adventures and violent wars. 

So countries of the South and the free world wake up and unite in solidarity to ward off the danger from white men and the Anglo-Saxon Americans and England.

Paris Air Show 16-22 June - J10 C, the Rafale Killer would be the star of the show

 The Paris Air Show was meant to be the showcase for the French Rafales to the world. For decades, French fighter jets, from the Mirage to the Rafales have been the star of the show. This time, the Rafales would have to move aside for the first Chinese export version fighter jet, the J10 C.

The J10 C is now dubbed as the Rafale Killer after its success in the India Pakistan War, knocking down not one but three in one go, and later another one to make it 4 kills. In addition, the J10 C also shot down a SU 30 and a MiG 29 for dessert. The world is in shock. How could this be? Some western analysts were in praise of the feat, but some are asking for more proof, more confirmation. How many more proof and confirmation is needed to confirm that this is not fluke?  How many occasions are there, how many wars are there, to shoot down 5 aircraft in an air battle and 3 Rafales in a row? Not good enough?

On the other hand, how many enemy aircraft have the Rafales shot down to be acknowledged as Europe's best fighter jet? Bombing herdsmen in Afghanistan and tribesmen in Africa is nothing to crow about. What about the F22? Oh, its greatest feat was to shoot down an air balloon in close range, with 3 missiles. And that is the self proclaimed world best fighter jet until the Americans quietly gave up on this aircraft, stopping production altogether with fake excuses of cost.

The F35 is ranked 7, several notches below the Rafales at number 3. Thus, the F35 is not going to be a match for the J10 C.

It was reported that the J10 C stall was located at a different level and in a corner in this Paris Air Show. The main showroom on the ground floor would be filled by the Rafales and American aircraft. Europe only has a couple of antiques other than the Rafales to exhibit. Given the western biased reports and narratives, China thinks rightly that there is no need to pay too much for a prominent stall in the main floor. A small stall in a corner on another floor would do. The decision was made before this India Pakistan spectacle.

China would not only show off the J10 C, but also the new star, the FL15 air to air missiles that brought down the Rafales. This little China stall on the second floor, away from the main showroom, is going to be the star attraction of the Paris Air Show. This is where the crowds would be heading. This is where the serious buyers of fighter jets and air weapon systems would be seen. This stall would steal the visitors from the main showroom. There will be long queues to see the J10 C, the FL15, the ZDK 03 AWAC and other Chinese weapons.

It would be interesting if China were to put up a big banner, Rafale Killer, over its stall.

Selling pandemic is big business for evil pharma companies

 Pandemic warning to the US as new virus spreads to all 50 States


Leading health experts have warned that the US is staring down the barrel of another pandemic as bird flu spirals out of control on US farms. So far, the H5N1 outbreak has affected nearly 1,000 dairy cow herds and resulted in more than 70 human cases, including the first confirmed death.

The US poultry industry is at significant risk, say experts from the Global Virus Network (GVN), particularly in areas with high-density farming and where personal protective practices may be lacking. Since 2022, more than 168 million poultry in the US has been lost or culled due to the bird flu outbreak in America, which has caused the price of eggs to skyrocket.

Although human-to-human transmission has not yet been observed, experts caution that mutations and reassortments — when two viruses simultaneously infect a host and exchange genetic material — could raise the risk of it occurring. The GVN is now urging world governments to confront the threat of H5N1 avian influenza by strengthening surveillance efforts and enforcing stricter biosecurity protocols. MSN

After the last Pandemic hoax when the whole world was turned topsy turvy, with the pharma companies making trillions of profits, they are now waiting to create another Pandemic and to force the world into buying expensive fake vaccines to enrich themselves. On every occasion, every slight infection or disease, they would flag a Pandemic coming. This is typical American playbook of shouting a threat, spreading fear, to prepare the ground, to make the people anticipate a threat and when it happens, it is just another self fulfilling prophecy, a black ops turning into reality. Bill Gates even could foretell of another Pandemic starting in Brazil, in 2025, a few years ago. Mind you, he holds the patents to many deadly viruses. For what?

Now bird flu is the next threat coming from the USA. Isn't bird flu a common disease in Asia, conveniently happening in China repeatedly?  How come there was no big front page splashes of bird flu in the USA that led to the culling of 168 million poultry? Oops, I must have been sleeping and missed the news altogether.

And now it is serious, very serious, with nearly 1,000 cow herds affected, not 1,000 cows. And it has spread to all 50 American states, the cleanest and well administered hygienic states in the world. Yes, a Pandemic is coming. Prepare to receive it with open arms, prepare to frantically buy fake vaccines from the big pharmas, they have already produced them in great numbers, and waiting for the silly buyers to buy with no guarantee of their efficacy, and under secretive clauses that cannot be disclosed.

The latest is measles in the USA. More than a thousand dead. This is a very dangerous disease that can spread sporadically and is even a bigger threat than bird flu. And it is coming. Again, the vaccines are all manufactured and ready to roll out to the whole world. Be frightened, be very frightened.

Big pharmas are going to make tons of money again. WHO would be roped in to declare another world Pandemic.

PS. Bill Gates Foundation is setting up an office in Singapore. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Are there American biolabs in Singapore and ASEAN, like those in Ukraine?

90 days reprieve for Americans to stock up

The reprieve is for USA retailers to restock their shelves or to do stockpiling while the 90 days truce is still in force. There is no way that retailers in USA can find alternative sources of supplies elsewhere - not from any other sources with that same capacity and not from just hyping up USA's internal manufacturing mantra which is just building castles in the air.
Sure, Chinese factories are again humming along, but they are now seeking and producing for alternative markets, having learnt a lesson from Trump's delusional behavior. 90 days truce may come and go, and uncertainties still abound. Will the Chinese supplies continue thereafter is the question for USA retailers. There are still mountains of uncertainties left unresolved and thinking that the tariff war is over is delusional. China must never ever trust the USA to uphold its side of the deal, certainly not the words of a man-child that changes his mind day in and day out. Even trade agreements with Canada and Mexico have been thrown into the dustbin by Trump, so what is to become of the 90 days truce when it runs out.

China has learnt useful lessons from Trump's first term by attempting to use trade wars to cripple China. What did China do during that trade war? China retaliated and started seeking more trade links with other countries and meanwhile started to source for supplies like agricultural products from Brazil, Argentina and Russia to compensate for the decline in USA agricultural products. China also diverted its energy needs to Russia, Iran and Venezuela. China also embarked on a national scale to adopt clean energy like EVs, built more dams, installed more solar panels and wind turbines to be less reliant on fossil fuel. China also started building trade links and diverting exports to the Global South and helping countries with infrastructures to enable them to progress and will have the capacity to absorb Chinese products in the longer term.

Indonesia is going to benefit as well from trade with China opening up, especially farm products and perhaps energy. China was the first country that Indonesian President Prabowo visited after he took office and this was not incidental or without reason or intention.

Truth be told, USA farmers are still suffering and awaiting a slow death, with no return for exports to China ever coming back. Moreover, cost of keeping up the farm's operation will go up with the deportation of cheap undocumented workers. That is even provided USA workers are prepared to do the backbreaking jobs left behind by those immigrants.

WW3 is unlike WW2

Let us not be delusional. Any World War breaking out today is not going to be like the previous two World Wars, where the USA mainland is untouched by bombings. This is a war of hypersonic missiles travelling at Mach 5 and above over long distances, which may even be launched from submarines close to USA shores.

The USA can station bombers close to China and Russia to threaten them, but the latter two countries do not need to do that with their nuclear submarines and long-range hypersonic missiles just as effective. Moreover, nuclear hypersonic missiles now have the capability to travel thousands of miles to reach targets that were not possible during the previous two World Wars.

For countries providing the USA with such facilities to host such bombers, it makes them first target in times of war. China already said that if Australia hosts nuclear submarines, it means its immunity to nuclear attacks will be lost. The message is clear and unambiguous.

India Pakistan War - Downing of Rafales...How it happened, step by step

 The western world is still shock by the infamous downing of 3 Rafales jets by China's J10 Cs in the India Pakistan War. The downing of a SU 30 and a MiG 29 did not arouse much interest mainly because the Rafales have been touted as the best jet fighter in Europe, next only to the F22s. The F35s did not come close. On the other hand, the J10 C was not the best in China. China has J15, J16, J18, J20, J35 and now J36 and J50. The latter two are 6th generation air superiority aircraft.

It is very shocking that an average J10 C in China's stable could down 3 of Europe/France's top jet fighters without suffering any casualty. The encounter was 5-0 in favour of Pakistan. Another Rafale was knocked down a few days later, making it 6-0.

Many analysts and experts have been writing and reporting about this amazing event. Let me try to plot how the event unfolded in a simplified manner and the sequences from the facts available. Never mind if India refused to admit the downing of the Rafales or how many. France and the US have officially reported that the Rafales were shot down. Factual truth.

On 7 May, India, with its fleet of Rafales, thought it had air superiority and scrambled 80 or so aircraft on its side of the border, a show of force, awaiting the Pakistanis and daring the Pakistanis to cross over for a fight. The Pakistanis also scrambled about 50 of their own fighters on their side of the border. Both parties were separated by at least 100km of air space, looking at each other from a distance. The ground radars of both sides could see the aircraft in the air. Maybe the Indians could see a few lesser Pakistani jets as the J10 Cs also have certain level of stealth and their radar blips on the Indian screens might not be too obvious.

The battle zone was set, with the jets of both sides on combat air patrol and watching, ready to jump at each other. Apparently, the Indians fired some missiles into Pakistan from the safety of distance, inside Indian territory. The Pakistanis fleet were ordered not to fire unless the Indian side attacked first. The firing of missiles into Pakistan territory would be enough reason for the Pakistanis to shoot back. And they did, from more than 100km or 200km away. It is not easy to determine if the Indian fighters have fired their weapons. The Pakistanis probably got feedback from satellite technology.

The Indian pilots could not see the PL15s coming their way on their radars. It is not easy to get a radar response from tiny air to air missiles approaching head on using aircraft radar. Very likely they did not see anything from their cockpit radars. The J10 Cs were reported to have switched off their on board radars to avoid detection, and maintained maintained comm silence. Only the more powerful ground radars, with their longer range, could see them in the sky.

So, the Indian jets were patrolling in formation for battle. The Pakistanis revealed a short communication clip between the Indian pilots trying to locate their own positions vis a vis each other. The Pakistanis were listening to the Indian pilots conversation. The Indian pilots were patrolling without knowing that the battle had started. Their conversation was suddenly terminated with one Indian pilot saying there was an air explosion, meaning he was hit. This suggested that the Indian pilots did not see, did not know and not aware that the PL15s were approaching them. They had no time to react, to evade. They were just like sitting ducks in the air, waiting to be hit. And they were hit and down they went. 5 aircraft were shot without the Indians knowing or aware of the attack. No need to sweat the small stuff, no need to take evasive action, no need to pull high G, no need to fear of being hit. Ignorance was bliss.

On the Pakistanis side, they claimed that they could take down a few more but were ordered not to fire, not to inflict too many casualties on the Indian side. It was a case of the Indians being blindsided, their radars unable to lit up the incoming PL15 missiles and thinking they were in a safe distance inside India, too far from being hit.

There was an asymmetry of capabilities in radar and missile range, favouring the Pakistanis. The Pakistanis could see the whole combat zone, all the Indian aircraft with ground radars. The Indians could see too, but not seeing all the Pakistani aircraft, and definitely could not see the PL15s being fired at them from a great distance.

The Pakistani side had overall superiority in radar performance and a longer range air to air missiles that the Indians overlooked. It ended up with the Pakistanis able to fire first.  The Indians failed to appreciate the longer kill range of the PL15s.

The Indians were anticipating close combat, for dog fights that did not materialise. It was a mismatch of expectation, doctrine and concept of modern air warfare. The Pakistanis could take them down from far away, beyond visual range, beyond radar range.


American terrorists playing a very dangerous game while thinking they are very clever

 The Americans are gloating again with their deployment of B1 strategic bombers to Misaki Air Base in Northern Japan. This deployment, with those in Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, are supposed to be America's trump card against China, Russia and North Korea. They are very close to their targets and clear advantage of striking fast with little time for China, Russia and North Korea to react. So, this is American terrorists' sure win strategy. China, Russia and North Korea do not stand a chance, no time to react. Boom, and all is over. The American terrorists win.

For the same reason, the Americans are deploying missiles in the Philippines, in islands near to China. China, Russia and North Korea did not have such military advantage. The American planners are confidently elated. By deploying strategic bombers and nuclear weapons, missiles in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, these countries become the first line of defence for the American Empire. These countries are the sacrificial lambs in the event of war with China, Russia or North Korea, just like Okinawa being the sacrificial lamb for Japan. They will be the first to be hit, top priority targets, and will be hit by the most destructive force of China, Russia and North Korea, to ensure they are obliterated immediately.

Why is this dangerous to the Americans? Never mind about the sacrificial lambs, they die their business. When China, Russia and North Korea are faced with such destructive forces at their door steps, when they have practically no time to react, what would they do to prevent their own destruction? They may try to move their key targets as far away as possible, they may want to strengthen the structure, etc etc. But most important, they would be monitoring very closely for the earliest little sign of an attack. A nuclear attack by the Americans or anyone is as good as guaranteed total destruction. The only defence is to terminate the attack before it even starts. And to launch a counter strike at the earliest time possible, even before the attack begins. This could mean intelligence and judgement.

The evil American terrorists are not giving China, Russia and North Korea any time to assess the threat or potential threat. This is the problem. When China, Russia or North Korea misunderstood a threat, misread a threat, or reading an accident as an existential threat, they could decide to let everything go. They have no privilege of time. They have no time, and a critical decision has to be made then and now.

The American terrorists, while giving the Chinese, Russian and North Korean little or no time to react to an attack, are also giving themselves no chance to prevent an erroneous attack by China, Russia or North Korea. If China, Russia or North Korea makes a wrong judgement, it would just trigger a nuclear war with no chance of turning back. There is no room for error. This is how dangerous the American terrorists are pushing the Chinese, Russians and North Koreans into a nuclear war that the Americans may not want.

Who is the wiser? Who is smarter, who is cleverer? Every second, every moment could ignite a nuclear war with the way the American terrorists are behaving, intentionally or unintentionally.  All it takes is for any side to make a mistake. Because of the stupidity and aggressive posturing and behaviour of the American clowns in Washington, the world is at the brink of a nuclear war at any instance. For the same reasons, Israel could be totally wiped out by the Arab and Muslim states without them knowing why. The Arab and Muslim states have the wherewithal to turn Israel into Stone Age.

Tariff War - Who won?

 Dotard Trump and the Daft Hillbilies and the Rest of the Daft World thought that the UAssA with her 30% against China's 10% is the winner.


Xi main Agenda is that to his exports of their 15% of GDP earnings essiential goods that the Americunts must have moving again.

Why bother their Tariff of 30 or 50% aa long as thd demand is there thr Hillbilies Americunts are going to pay for them NOT China.

China just token 10% is just for show. Maybe on their products that may compete with their local industries and also those fake inflated jack up prices goods that are NOT essiential to them.

China alreday divisified her essiential imports from other countries NOT more from the UAss.

So jus6 kept her Econmy moving especially those that affected the SME companies.

Let the Americunts rejoiced in.their Superiorty complex that they had won the Trade War!

Temporary reprieve in tariff war, but American farmers are still suffering

In the eyes of everyone, on most MSM and social media as well, it was a huge caving in by Trump to China over the tariffs, despite all his gloating about how tough he is acting in the face of falling demand for USA Treasuries, idle cranes at ports, empty shelves at retail outlets on top of truckers and dockworkers being laid off. The strange thing is that job creation, as reported in the USA, is still touted to be bullish, something that defies logic. Anyway, all credit goes to Trump when things look good, but Biden will be blamed when things go bad.
The tariff preoccupation also diverted attention away momentarily from the agricultural sector that suffered a double whammy. The deportation of undocumented immigrants deprived farmers with cheap labor and the gradual loss of the Chinese market is crippling the USA farmers. How desperate they are now is shown by the fraud that is being committed by soya bean farmers in the USA trying to enter the Chinese market by documenting their products as originating from Argentina and Brazil and exporting them to China, hopefully undiscovered. The Brazilians and Argentinians want no part of the scam and are working with the Chinese to stamp out the fraudulent practice.

China just turned away 300,000 tons of soya beans originating from USA which were documented as being from Argentina. This was found out by the Chinese authorities when they tested the protein contents of those beans from USA sources that were found to be dramatically different from those traditionally originating from Argentina. This line of fraud is now being cut off and USA farmers now have no way to export soya beans to China stealthily without being discovered. Brazil and Argentina are not reliant on USA soya beans anyway and will not be a party to the fraud being carried out by the USA. They have a big stake in the Chinese market and are not in any way going to cut their noses to spite their faces.

India Pakistan War - Putting the pieces together to unveil the devil behind

 Top national leaders do not go country hopping for fun unlike little third world leaders when an overseas trip could be a shopping spree in some European cities. JD Vance did not make a trip to India to pay a courtesy call on Modi on taxpayers' money, bringing his whole family along. This apparently superficial social visit hides a very dangerous agenda.

The Americans have been preparing to launch a major war with China. Unfortunately, all their simulated war games in the western Pacific always ended up with China the winner. China's huge landmass, armed forces and war machine, and the logistic challenge posed by the Pacific Ocean were too big an obstacle to overcome. But the Americans must start a war with China very soon. Time is running out as China is growing stronger by the day. The Americans need more assurance and confirmation.

An Indian Pakistanis War could provide a lot of answers the Americans needed and also serve many purposes. India would be a good staging ground to attack China when attacking by sea is unwinnable. And India would be an eager beaver given its hostility against China. India has been praying for the Americans to be their backup in a war against China.

An India Pakistan War would definitely drag in the Chinese. It could be another Ukraine to drain the resources of China, and why not, if India is agreeable to be Ukraine and Modi as the Asian Zelensky, with enough heft to give China all the problems it needs. But there is also an immediate objective, to test the effectiveness of Chinese military hardware that China sent to Pakistan, the tanks, artillery pieces and most important of all, the JF17s and the J10 Cs.

Vance was a special envoy with a special agenda and message for Modi, to start a border war with Pakistan. The Americans knew that Modi would be most willing to do so, with Pakistan its arch enemy, and small enough to be swallowed. And with the recent acquisition of the Rafales, India thinks it is the mightiest military power in South Asia and about time to throw its weight around. And why not, with the Americans fully behind them. India also stands to get the F35s that it wants for a long time to take on China. The Rafales are good enough, but with the F35s, and with the Americans full military might, there is no need to fear China anymore.

The Americans would let a bunch of losers trained by them to attack Indians and called themselves terrorists. India would just point the fingers at Pakistan and attack with no restraints. India is free to unleash whatever they want at the Pakistanis. And the Americans would act innocent, pretend that it is none of their business and turn to look the other way.

The American objectives were many, but the immediate task is to see how the Chinese jets and weapons stand against the Rafales. So, they ordered the Indians and Pakistanis not to fly their F16s at each other. It would be Chinese jets and weapons against the French Rafales. And the Americans would observe the battle with their satellites and whatever visual or listening devices to assess the war. Thus, the Americans were the first to confirm that the Rafales were shot down even before the French or Indians admission. How did the American knew so early and so sure. It's a no brainer question.

Another piece of the puzzle is the call by Trump to both parties to cease fire.  Trump was the first to announce the ceasefire, not Modi. The Americans ordered the war. The Americans cancelled the order. The winner is clear. The Chinese jets walloped the Rafales. And to continue with the war, India would lose more and badly and may pressure the Americans to come in, which is not what the Americans wanted. Vance had earlier been quoted that they did not want to engage in a war they cannot controlled. The Americans got their answers on the effectiveness of the Chinese weapons and quickly walked away like nothing has happened. The Americans have totally nothing to do with the war. No one is wiser. The Pakistanis came out the victor while India has to walk away like a lame duck, still not knowing what the war was all about.

The above is just my extrapolation of the war with the pieces of information available. The Americans would be rethinking their strategy of opening another front from India in a war against China.

Vatican City - The world's biggest communist organisation selected its Chief

 The Catholic world was held in suspense for a few weeks after the death of Pope Francis. After a few days of closed down juggling and discussion, the cardinals selected the next Pope among themselves to head the Catholic Church. The whole process was similar to how the communist countries select the Chairman of their parties. Xi Jinping was selected in the same way, though the nomenclature and rituals were different. This is the same form of democratic election as the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church organisation structure and hierarachy are very similar to the Communist Party of China. How a young priest or a cadre is enlisted and rose through the ranks, after serving the lowest parish or commune and get promoted along the way to eventually becoming bishops, cardinals and popes is a mirror image of the CPC where a young cadre moved from village secretary to regional secretary, city and provincial secretary to the politburo and standing committee and eventually the Chairman or the CPC.

The wealth of the Catholic Church is communal wealth, like a communist country. The whole organisation is divided into different levels by region, districts, towns, cities to little villages. And they also have cell groups for discussion and confession, the communist system called it self criticism for admission of errors and mistakes.

Actually, the CPC structure and political processes were copied from the Catholic Church and adapted to run a nation state. Karl Marx, a Jew, got his inspiration from the communes run by Jesus, where their wealth and properties belong to all and shared by all the members of the community. The wealth in the Vatican City is supposed to be the wealth of all the Catholics in the world. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord. Every citizen is equal in the communist system. Of course, some are more equal than others in the CPC and the Catholic Church. Some still enjoy great luxury while some lived the life of poor sisters in India eg Mother Teresa.

Is the Catholic Church system a democratic process? Is the CPC system a democratic process?

Tariff War - Trump caves in. Would it be in time for Christmas?

Trump was gloating just days ago about sticking to his stand of not reducing the 145% tariffs against China. A day or two after, he changed his tune and claimed that 80% would be suitable tariff for Chinese goods and is up to Scott Bessent to do the necessary. Would Scott Bessent really be bold enough to reduce his tariffs from 80% to 30% without his concurrence? Why had Trump suddenly caved in by falling flat for a 30% tariff against China and for 90 days only?
The whole thing about the celebrative mood after the so-called success of the talks over the tariff reduction and the stock market shooting up over the news is a tad too early. This is a tactic I am apt to believe is Trump trying again to manipulate the stock market. Those of the rich friends of Trump and his family would probably have bought into the market during the lows of the past weeks, and with his 65% reduction initially giving a discreet signal that it is going to rise, those cronies and family members will now be reaping in billions. What is going to happen 90 days from now? Another manipulation will come after those billionaires have unloaded their stocks and waiting for another crash to buy in again? Poor guys like us can only watch on the sidelines how the super-rich made their money.

Having said that, I think the Chinese have learned a profound lesson not to trust Trump's tariff reduction too much. The tariff war is not over yet. There are pertinent reasons why Trump's tariffs are crumbling against China. First was the low take-up of the bonds auction that global investors are avoiding, and that is spooking the market. The second reason is that Trump is trying to prevent the empty shelves inside retail outlets from getting worse over the coming days and weeks. He is hoping for more Chinese ships carrying products to dock at USA ports to provide retailers with a lifeline and keep truckers and dockworkers employed. In essence the reduction of tariffs from 145% to 30% had little effect on Chinese manufacturers, as importers and consumers are going to bear the tariffs anyway. This was a question thrown by a congressman who asked Scott Bessent - 'Who is paying the tariffs' and when was cornered he went into a gibberish talking about China manufacturers suffering and avoided the question altogether.

Suffice to say, Chinese manufacturers should be cautious about moving product shipments back to USA ports with the 90 days truce in mind and should continue to do more business with global south countries and forging new markets. China has learned some lessons in the past by keeping away from relying too strongly on particular markets that have an agenda to do China in.

On another note, I wanted to talk about how China discovered USA soya beans using fake country of origin as being grown in Argentina and Brazil, being sold to China under the radar. Argentian and Brazil are furious that the USA is destroying their Chinese market with such underhand tactics. They are now working with China to tackle the problem. This shows the level of desperation that farmers in the USA are doing without the Chinese market.

India Pakistan War - First major victory of the Muslim world

The USA and the West have been cultivating India as a proxy to counter China for decades. They cannot let India be shamed in front of the world, with fighter jets, hypersonic and missiles from China, and drones from Turkey. Turkey is a Muslim country, supporting a Muslim Pakistan. Nothing wrong with it I would say. That is what every Muslim country should be doing. And what could be a more a suitable opportunity to showcase their weapons in actual combat?
The USA and the West could not now swallow the world looking on at Chinese weapons outperforming Western weapons, always touted to be the best there was, the best there is and the best it will be. How can Pakistan be giving India a blackeye with India's top of the line fighter jets and air defense system protecting India? By hook or by crook, India must deny the shooting down of its Rafale jets and the taking out of its S400 air defense system.

The fact that China is selling weapons to Pakistan is a hard pill to swallow for the USA and the West. And having Pakistan now proving the effectiveness of Chinese weapons, touted to be junks, for the first time in actual combat is something hard for them to accept. The truth is hurting very badly. China will decimate the entrenched global military weapons manufacturers going forward, with selling cheaper, more effective and reliable weapons, just like what China did with their EVs, solar panels, wind turbines, shipbuilding and manufacturing. Those are already forgone conclusions, with China now targeting aviation, semiconductors and now military weapons as well. China has all the control over raw materials like aluminum, steel, rare earth elements and skilled manpower to do that. China has already in place a solid base in education, supply chains and experience in conquering sectors that they aspired to do, and the West better not bet against it.

The Indians are just like the Whites, speaking with forked tongues and can never be trusted to honor their words, least of all a ceasefire. Lessons must be learned by Pakistan, and lessons must be learned by China watching on the sidelines. In fact, every country should be watching.

JD Vance - Sneaky American terrorists speaking in forked tongue

WASHINGTON: United States Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday (May 8) that India and Pakistan should de-escalate tensions, but he added that the US cannot control the nuclear-armed Asian neighbours and a war between them would be "none of our business".

"We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can't control these countries though," Vance said in an interview on Fox News show The Story with Martha MacCallum.

"What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," he added. CNA

The war is Ukraine was not started by the Americans. Period. This is what the Americans are trying to tell the world. Never heard of Victoria Nuland? Never heard of who was behind the coup that removed Ukraine's elected president and replaced him with a clown in Zelensky? Who dictated or ordered Zelensky to walk away from the peace deal with Russia? Who is funding and providing all the weapons to Ukraine. No, it is not America. It is Satan.

And Trump is now telling Zelensky that he is on his own, but still providing weapons and expertise to fight Russia and getting the mineral resources from Ukraine.

The war in Pakistan and India came immediately after Vance visit to India. The Americans sent military supplies the very next day after the so called terrorist attack in Pahalgam. So coincidental! Really, nothing to do with the Americans. Vance was there just for a holiday and to make Modi the godfather of his children.

The above quote from CNA said it all. US cannot control Pakistan and India? Who is Vance trying to bluff? The US even ordered Pakistan to send military supplies to Zelensky, and selling weapons to India with conditions. We want them to de escalate a bit? Oh, just a bit, but the war and tension must go on right?

Who wants this war? Who stands to benefit from this war? Pakistan is an obvious and direct victim of this war. India, an image of American cowboys, feeling very big and strong, would want to whack the hell out of Pakistan, and better still, to have the encouragement and support of the American terrorists, and hopefully more American aids and weapons like Ukraine is getting. India would greatly benefit from this war, caveat, Pakistan did not give them a bloody nose.  6 Indian jets already down.

India Pakistan War - Surreal massive air attack by India after ceasefire

 

Watch this 11 min clip and see how aggressive and squeamish the Indian commentator was, no ceasefire. India had whacked Pakistan and would whack again...and his bragging about how great and powerful India is. He was hysterical in many instances. Typical peaceful Indians! India does not believe in ceasefire, does not believe in peace with Pakistan.

After Trump announced that he had brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, both India and Pakistan also made the ceasefire announcement. Pakistan was so happy that it ordered a stand down of all forces, bringing down the AWACs and fighters in the air, switched off all the radar stations and sent all the soldier home for dinner. This was apparently what had happened in the Indian version.

On the other hand, the sneaky Indians were preparing a massive air attack on 10 Pakistani airfields, and the attack was launched on the night of ceasefire. 4 Indian generals appeared in a press briefing showing clips of Pakistani airfields and radars being hit and destroyed. And all the Indian pilots returned home safely without being challenged or shot at. Not a single Pakistani soldier was around.

Apparently, the attack went on so smoothly, because all the Pakistani airfields were stood down, no defence system was activated, no defensive fire, all the soldiers had gone home. The Indian pilots were shooting and bombing at apparently ghost airfields without a soul in them. There were also no aircraft sitting in the airfields, no JF17s, no J10 Cs, no AWAC planes in sight. Cannot imagine how many would have been destroyed by the Indian attacks in such an attack.

Where have all the Pakistani aircraft gone to? Where were all the Pakistani soldiers supposedly to defend the airfields? Did they literally believe that there was a ceasefire and the war had ended, and they could return home? Till now the Pakistani govt has not made any statement about this serious violation of the ceasefire and the destructions in the airfields.

The Indians are calling it a big success in teaching the terrorists, ie Pakistan, a painful lesson. Perhaps Pakistan air force and air defence systems have been crippled by this attack and Pakistan is now at the mercy of the Indians. What's next, another big invasion of Pakistan?

The Pakistani govt does not seem disturbed by the news of this invasion. Were they too afraid to announce the damages suffered? They did not seem to be cowering in fear and wanting to beg for mercy from the Indians.

What is going on? What is real and what is unreal? While the Indian generals were bragging and gloating about this massive attack in breach of the ceasefire, India is warning Pakistan against ceasefire violation.

Everything is easy for Emperor Trump

Trump just signed an executive order to bring down the cost of drugs in the USA. So simple, just a signature on a piece of paper and drugs will magically become cheaper. Now, why didn't Biden do that earlier I wonder? Oh, in case I forget, why didn't Trump sign an executive order to bring down the price of eggs and groceries as well.
Or better still, why didn't Trump just sign an executive order to compel retailers like Walmart not to let shelves be empty. Can he sign an executive order to demand that China must buy soya beans and corn from the USA to prevent farms from collapsing?

Trump thinks everything is so easy. As easy as demanding Mexico pays for his wall, gloating that he can stop the Ukraine War within 24 hours of his stepping into the White House, gloating about bringing manufacturing back to the USA without getting things ready beforehand, until the shit hits the fan.

Now, anything good happening around the world or in the USA is all because of the leadership of Trump. Now he is trying to take credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, even though the Indians do not even think he played any part in negotiations. Anything bad happening around the world or in the USA is now the fault of Joe Biden, the poor man not knowing what he is accused of. Good that Joe has dementia and cannot remember what he did anyway.

USA cannot afford to lose Singapore

  Singapore is not left out of Trump's crazy and reckless trade war with the whole world. Trump has no friends except his own interest. Despite offering American forces a port to support American military operations in SE Asia, and the ability to turn Malacca Strait into a choke point, despite paying through the nose for all the expensive American weapons that cannot be brought back to Singapore, Trump is treating Singapore just like any Tom, Dick and Harry. Singapore would not be spared when Trump throws tantrum or suffering from his periodic attack.

Does Singapore have to accept the brash behaviour and bullying of Trump and his gangster policies? Is Singapore dispensable to the Americans, and can be kicked around like any other American crony? Singapore today has choices. Singapore can get everything it wants from China, including political and military support, military hardware and land for military training and at cheaper cost. Singapore is in a way like China, can trade with anyone, with the whole world, except with Russia. Singapore can find a substitute for American support.

Can the Americans do away with Singapore? The Americans have no friend or dependable friend in SE Asea. The Pinoys is more a liability than anything else. Only good to be used as a temporary disposable pawn, nothing more nothing less. The Philippines does not have the clout like Singapore, does not control the strategic position like Singapore, and very unpredictable. The Pinoys have kicked out the American bases and would do so again once Marcos loses power. The rest of Asean are wary of the Americans unlike Singapore.

There is no reason for Singapore to cower under the threats of the Americans. Both enjoy a symbiotic relationship. The Americans cannot afford to lose Singapore and its strategic location. The American market is only one of many markets for Singapore.

What would happen to Singapore if there were a break in Singapore US relations, and worse, if Singapore invites China to use its military facilities here instead of America? Would it spell the end of Singapore, or would it end America's strangle hold of the Malacca Strait and influence in ASEAN?

What would happen to the American influence in the region without Singapore? Who can replace Singapore? Who can the Americans trust? Singapore is vital to the Americans, irreplaceable. Singapore can replace the Americans with China. Stop bullying and kicking Singapore around.

PS. Maybe Trump would declare Singapore is vital to American strategic interest and would want to take it over as the 52nd state or buy it like Greenland.

Rafales down, France slap a stunned Modi

 The downing of 3 Rafales was so shocking and embarrassing to the French that their first reaction was to point the fingers at India. It cannot be the fault of the Rafales or French technology. It must be the Indian pilots, poorly trained, did not know how to fly the French's world best state of the art flying machine. The Rafales have a spotless record of not being shot down even once. True, very true. How could tribesmen and herdsmen with only rifles and machine guns be shooting down the Rafale?

Have the Rafales really seen real action, in real combat with equals, with enemy aircraft and weapon system that are as good or even better? The clean record of the Rafales is as good as fiction without genuine real combat.

Now the Rafales are facing some real contenders in unranked, often rubbished by the West as antique jet fighter, the J10 C from China. Yes, from China, a country that has not been at war with anyone, no real combat experience. The J10 C is only known for its specs on paper. And the cocky and haughty West simply laughed it off, Chinese data are false, fakes. So, the J10 C is just another toy machine unlike the highly ranked Rafales, third best in the world, with the American F22s taking the first and second top spot. Incidentally the Americans have stopped production of their world best fighter aircraft for some queer reason. Soon there will be no F22s around when the present batch hit the end of their shelf life.

Ok, the world's third best fighter jet, according to western war 'anal' lysts, cannot simply lose to the unranked J10 C and from China. It must be the useless Indian pilots. And with evidence of 3 or 4 Rafales down, the Indians could not argue their way out. They simply have to accept the wild accusation of the French.

What actually happened in the fight was elementary in terms of piloting skills. It was not dog fights, close combat that required the best flying skills of a pilot. There is no need for the skills of a top gun. It only required pilots to fly the Rafales for straight and level flight. The Rafales were knocked off by hypersonic missiles, controlled by sophisticated AI assisted programmes and radar technology from more than 100km away. The Indian pilots did not even see what was coming to hit them. Maybe their avionics and communications were already jammed. There is no need for extraordinary pilot skills. Oh yes, India's number one ace pilot was the first to be shot down.

Modi should call off the French bluff. It has nothing to do with pilot skills. The Rafales were shot down by better technology, better weapon system with better range. Even the best French pilots would not stand a chance against superiority technology.

Poor Modi, poor Indians, made to eat humble pie by the French and did not know how to wiggle out of the trap. What happens to the slippery oral skills of the Indians? Now the French are still strutting around, blaming the Indians for the down Rafales. It is not the fault of the French Dassault manufacturer. It is the Indian's fault!

Burkina Faso - Without Russia, China and North Korea, no African country can survive from western control.

Russia, China and North Korea will have a military presence in Burkina Faso soon and gives the country the ability to protect itself from the imperial powers that are trying to recolonize Africa. If Burkina Faso decides to have military ties with Russia and China, which appears certain, no one can compel Ibrahim Traore to do otherwise over what is good for the country.
The USA and France have made several assassinations attempts on Ibrahim Traore, which have failed so far. More assassination attempts will be made, which is why it is important for Russia and China to build up Burkina Faso's economy and military deterrence. There are difficulties in doing this as there are still some African dictators in the payroll of the Western powers who are acting against him.

Only two African countries dared to act against the dictates of the imperial colonizers - South Africa and Burkina Faso. The rest of Africa are still watching and evaluating the progress of Burkina Faso and the direction it is taking. Any good economic progress reaped will tell the rest of Africa which direction they have to follow. And the West will not take it lying down for sure. They still are trying to divide and rule forever.

J10C, the PL15E and the CM-400AKG are not the top end of Chinese weapons system

I believe the J10C fighter jets, the PL15E hypersonic air to air missiles and the CM-400AKG hypersonic missiles used by Pakistan are not the top end of the Chinese weapons system. These are just the export versions of the more sophisticated weapons now used by the PLA. The West has much to think about in trying to take on China in any conflict, thinking it will be like taking candy from a kid, just like during the opium war period. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and little can be gained by just touting about Western superiority while dismissing Chinese weapons always as junk.
The Indians think they have stumbled on a gold mine, with parts of the PL15E that probably took down a Rafale jet, now in their hands. These are from export versions of Chinese weapons, probably already years behind in innovation and design. China's advancements in weapons system can be gauged from China's speed in innovation in EVs, semiconductors and manufacturing.

S400 defense system is now proven to be unreliable in the face of hypersonic missiles like the CM-400 travelling at Mach 5 and above, using satellite navigation, and if I do not read incorrectly, using the radar of the S400 to guide it to its target.

Suffice to say, no defense system is now foolproof in the face of technology innovation, which goes to show why Israel's 'Iron Dome' is going out of fashion. The Iranians know how to overcome it, so does the Houthis. It was a loophole exposed by the Lebanese and Hezbollah.

The real African Revolution the West fear most led by Ibrahim Traore

 

In a world dominated by Western influence, one young African leader dares to break the chains. "Captain
In a world dominated by Western influence, one young African leader dares to break the chains. "Captain Traoré Meets Xi Jinping: Inside the China Deal That Changed Africa Forever" is a gripping political thriller set in modern-day Burkina Faso, where nationalist president Captain Ibrahim Traoré receives a secret offer from President Xi Jinping — military power, industrial technology, and economic liberation, in exchange for partnership.
 
As Western nations threaten sanctions and isolation, Traoré makes a bold move that shocks the world. The result? A seismic shift in Africa’s future. Burkina Faso rises from poverty to become the continent’s manufacturing powerhouse, unemployment drops, lives are transformed — and global powers scramble to contain the ripple effect.

A 21 min clip on the rise of Burkina Faso led by Ibrahim Traore, a young leader, firm, decisive and with a vision for his country and Africa. Traore knows what he wants. He is very clear of his mission and the direction he will take to break free from western control and bullying. Africa has never had a leader that not only knows what is good for Africa but knows what to do and go about executing it despite all the threats, doomsayers, western condemnation and fake news and betrayals by corrupt Africans in Burkina Faso and African states. 

Traore knows that there is no free lunch. He knows that progress and economic growth would not come for free. He is ready to pay the price as long as the independence and sovereignty of Burkina Faso are in the hands of the people of his nation. He does not beg, he seeks fair cooperation with countries willing to help on an equal basis, on a win win basis. He will pay for cooperation, technology, infrastructure building, factories and schools, unlike other African leaders than only know how to stretch out their hands for handouts. These weak and fake African leaders ended up as cronies and puppets of foreign countries.

Traore invited China to invest in his country, build factories, technology transfer, with Made in Burkina Faso goods and products as a key mission. Burkina Faso is now a manufacturing country, making products and goods for sale to other African countries.

Traore invited like minded progressive African leaders to join him, to build an independent Africa, free from foreign oppression and bullying. Mali and Niger were the first two states that joined Burkina Faso. More and more African states are joining him and his new model for an industrial and independent Africa. A new organisation called the Sahel Federation is formed, truly independent from foreign control and manipulation, threatening the existence of the western controlled ECOWAS. The Federation is open to all African states.

The West are alarmed by the rise of the Sahel Federation led by Traore. This is real revolution for Africa, to be truly independent from western and foreign domination, not to remain poor forever. Burkina Faso has found a way, is showing the way to other African states, to become a new industrial and economic powerhouse. The West would keep on trying to dethrone Traore, to demonise him, to overthrow him with lies and with traitors.

Traore is protected by his people that can see the goodness he has brought to his country. Russia and China are sending him all the support he needs, including commandos, to protect his safety. Traore is the new burning light of Africa, a thinker and doer, not just words, not another dreaming idealist that talks a lot but doing nothing.  He puts his plans into action and a new industrial Burkina Faso is rising fast in Africa to show the way. Burkina Faso now has its own digital currency backed by gold, no longer under the crutches of France. Burkina Faso also has its own satellite, made by Chinese and African engineers.

PS. Listen to the plots and black ops the Americans and West conducted against Traore in the clip. This is how vicious and evil the white can be while walking around acting like angels.

3 Rafales down, how damaging and painful to India?

 Modi was convinced by his air force chiefs that buying the Rafales would put India one up against China and there is no more fear of China. One Rafale is better than 5 J20s. After receiving the Rafales, Modi walked around with his backside tilted to the sky like a peacock. His voices even grew louder when he talked and never see China up. Everyday he was dreaming of giving China a beating.

And India picked the best Indian pilots to fly the new national treasure. Only the best of the best Indian are qualified to fly the Rafales. India's top ace pilot was given the honour to fly BS 001. The wreckage of BS 001 has been found, but not the pilot, India's top ace pilot. One was reported to be caught by Pakistan and another still no news. Hopefully no news is good news and not dead news.

India is now the joke of the whole world. Modi is unable to hold his head high like a proud super power leader. All the bragging made him look smaller. India now has nothing that it can brag to be better than China. Cannot fly the Rafales along Sino Indian border to frighten the PLAAF. Cannot even threaten Pakistan. France would not allow India to fly the Rafales. Indian pilots too would not want to go up in the air to meet instant death. Indian pilots are on strike, all fearing for their lives.

How painful it is to India to find out that they paid billions for tin cans? How would Modi be feeling for being conned by the air force chiefs? Sacking two air force chiefs cannot take away the humiliation in front of the whole world. All the ex Indian generals and chiefs that were bragging and making silly comments about how superior Indian air force and pilots and the world's best fighter jet were, the Rafales, have all gone hiding.

And not counting the loss of 3 of their ace pilots in one day plus another 2 to Pakistan.

The pain and shame must be unbearable to Modi and all the Indians that were crowing in the Indian social media. India is the best. India is invincible. India will wipe out Pakistan and China.

The defeat by Pakistan air force is so disastrous that India has no way out but to accept an immediate ceasefire with no condition. The cocky Indians, Modi, have to swallow their pride, no more prancing around like a cobra wanting to make a kill. They have been killed and more would be killed if they dare to take to the sky.

Carry on boasting India, you are down but now out. You still can try to buy F35s from the Americans. Modi can go kiss and hug Trump and Trump may agree. Or try India' American son in law, Vance to talk to Trump. Caveat, Trump may think like the French, fearing that the reputation of the F35s would go the way of the Rafales in the hands of the Indian world best pilots. Unless Modi can guarantee that they would not be shot down by the J10 Cs.

If the Indians were so successful and victorious against the Pakistanis, would Modi agree to a ceasefire?

Chinese hypersonic missiles destroyed India's S400 defence system

Chinese CM-400 Hypersonic Missile Destroys India's S-400 Air Defence System -- Xinhua
Pakistan successfully targeted and destroyed an Indian S-400 air defense system in Adampur, located in Jalandhar district of India's Punjab state, in an airstrike on Saturday, the Pakistani military said in a statement.

The strike was carried out using hypersonic missiles deployed from the JF-17 platform, with precision-guided munitions neutralizing the advanced air defense asset, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military wing of the Pakistani army, said in the statement.

The S-400 system, estimated to be worth around $1.5 billion, was considered one of India's most sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems, the statement added.

Military analysts told Xinhua that the successful targeting of the S-400 could have significant implications for India's aerial defense posture in the region.

The strike is a part of Pakistan's major military operation "Bunyanun Marsoos," meaning concrete structure, launched in response to sustained Indian provocations, and aimed at targeting multiple high-value military installations across India, according to the ISPR.

Buying F35s are like buying illusions...self delusion

 Buying the F35s is just buying trouble with its maintenance cost. That coating on the plane to deflect radar gets peeled off very quickly after a couple of flights and need expensive recoating to make the plane stealthy. Which is why the USA's own F35s are not all service ready all at one time, with some having to be grounded for routine recoating. Moreover, it seems that buyers of those planes, even though paid for, have to be stationed in the USA in order to be maintained due to all the inherent problems with its stealth coating.


It sounds silly just like some people paying tens of millions to buy expensive diamonds that are often just kept in bank vaults for fear of losing them to thieves. Why not just visit their jewelry outlets and look at them free of charge, with no fear of theft, when they feel the urge to do so, rather than buying them and keeping them in vaults. But they will say only a poor man like me is saying so because I cannot afford them.

Now many people are banging heads talking about the tens of thousands they paid for luxury bags and watches. While talking about luxury bags, it now surfaces that luxury bag houses have been paying celebrities to tout their possession of luxury bags costing as an arm and a leg to promote their stuff to those trying to ape those celebrities. How sad and naive to be exposed now to the scam.

Avalanche of orders for Chengdu's J10 C and PL15 air to air missiles

 

This 6 min clip explains clearly how the J10 C using PL15 missiles could knock out the Rafales before the Rafales know what hits them. The clip was posted at least one week earlier before the 3 Rafales were shot on 7 May.

The biggest winner in the Indian Pakistan border war is China. India, the local bully acting and behaving exactly like the American rogues, arrogantly believed that it has superiority over its smaller neighbour Pakistan. The Indian ego was inflated by its recent acquisition of the French Rafale fighter jets, touted as the best fighter jet by western media as usual.  The Indian Air Force chiefs were all convinced that they have the game changer to dominate the sky of South Asia and Asia, bragging that one Rafale is as good as five J20, China's best 5th gen aircraft. The Rafale is only 4.5 gen.

The Indian Pakistan border war was the perfect moment for India to flaunt its military hardware, especially the Rafales. They were so confident and so eager for a war to punish the Pakistanis and used the terrorist attack as an excuse to start a war with Pakistan. 

To India's horror, the Pakistanis air force is now equipped with China's J10 C fighter jet, also newly acquired, and armed with a long range air to air missiles, the PL15 and proved to be more superior than whatever the Rafales have. Sure, the Indians did not think the J10 C with PL15 are worth noting and totally disregard them as a threat. India does not believe in Chinese weapon system and treats them as junk. India openly claimed to be better than Chinese and Pakistanis air force in their aircraft, pilot training and bravado and took the Pakistanis for granted, for target practice.

In the first encounter, the Rafale electronic and communication systems were completely jammed by the J10 C and had to flee without engaging. This did not wake up the Indians and they returned by launching a fleet of about 80 fighter jets to overwhelm the Pakistanis air force and air defence system. Again they underestimated the Pakistanis air force and over rated themselves and their western weapons, deceived by the false superiority of the Rafales. They were routed, with 6 aircraft being shot down in one encounter. Holycow, this is big. There could be more casualties if the Pakistanis did not hold back and continue firing.

The Chengdu J10 C and the PL15 have now carved a name for themselves, battle proven, to have beaten the best of the West weapon system. All the bragging and hard sell, sales talks and overpricing are now what they are, sales talks and gimmicks. At least 50 per cent has to be discounted. The very much cheaper Chinese aircraft and air to air missiles are the real stuff. The performance specs are real, not inflated, not fakes.

Egypt will now have no reason not to buy the J10 C it is now testing. Many orders would be coming in from the Middle East, Africa, East European states and as far as Latin America, for cheap and good Chinese aircraft and weapon systems. As for ASEAN states, this is unlikely, as according to a funny survey, ASEAN states trust the Americans more than China. So very likely they will still go to kiss Trump's ass to buy American weapon systems, even knowing that there are kill switches and what they get would not be better than what the Israelis have. China should not expect orders from these white god worshippers in ASEAN. They love white gods and would always want to sleep with the white gods and believe in everything the white gods said.

To the rest of the world, they will be taking a second look at Chinese weapon systems now but would be more suspicious and cautious about the specs of western weapon systems. Expensive does not mean quality, unless they choose to be lied to willingly.

France asked India to ground the Rafales. What does this mean?

 India is still denying that its game changer Rafales, one can take down 5 Chinese J20s, were not shot down. With these world class air superiority aircraft, they strutted along the Pakistan India border like untouchable, challenging the Pakistanis to a fight, thinking the Pakistanis would chicken out as their Chinese jets are inferior and would easily be shot down, 1 to 5 or more.

The debris of the Indian Rafales are scattered everywhere on the ground. The French have acknowledged that the Rafales had been shot down, at least two and looking for more, how many more? The French were more shocked and embarrassed by the downing of the Rafales by China's J10 C which all western sources sneered at as inferior, just like Made in China luxury bags and watches... until they realised they were the real stuff. American officials also confirmed at least two Rafales have been shot down.

To save more embarrassment, and French reputation, the reputation of their world best air superiority Rafales, the French have requested the Indians to ground all Rafale jets for now. Why? What are the implications of this French position? The French are as good as saying, when the J10s are around, ground all Rafales. The French are also telling the Indians to stop lying. Just admit that the Rafales have been shot down.

The French cannot afford to lose any more Rafales or no one would want to buy them anymore. They are confident of their machine but have great doubts about the ability of the Indian pilots to fly them. The Indians stand to lose their recent contract to buy another 26 Rafales if they ignored the French demand, fly the Rafales and got shot down again. If the Indians agree not to fly the Rafales, they have nothing else to brag or to use against the Pakistanis. All their aircraft are aged and inferior to the JF17s and J10 Cs. In other words, the Indians would have to concede the airspace to the Pakistanis. The Pakistanis would rule the sky and be a great threat to Indian forces and installations on the ground. This is as good as being defeated without fighting.

In the first life air combat between western and Chinese military technology, Chinese technology triumphs. No more lies, no more hypes. The proof is in the pudding.

What would the Indians do? They spent billions for the overpriced Rafales for air superiority and the bragging rights and to threaten the Pakistanis and the Chinese. Now the billions spent on the Rafales are just as good as buying tin cans. India is now the laughing stock of the whole world. It is now countering with more words and propaganda about shooting down Pakistani JF17s and F16s. But no one is going to believe the Indians anymore.

Can the Indians proceed with their plans to invade Pakistan to show the Pakistanis they are the top dog in the region? By the way, India reports claimed that they have shot down Pakistani drones with their S400 missiles, like the Americans using their multi million dollar Patriot missiles to shoot down $10,000 Houthi drones. Why, stupidity, or no effective weapons to take down Pakistani drones? On the hand, the Pakistanis have already shot down more than 125 Indian drones.

Chinese military technology has spoken. They are better than western technology. Battle proven and no more cheap sales. Expensive western weapons do not mean good. Think DeepSeek!

Indians officially admitted 3 planes 'crashed', not shot down...and keeps shaking their heads

India has now officially admitted that three of its planes 'crashed', not shot down. See the picture? Indian sources have been denying the shooting down of their very expensive Rafales jets earlier, but there was so much reporting on the issue on social media about the downed planes, which they countered as fake news earlier on, is now coming back to haunt them.
Yet India is still doing a song and dance about their attack on Pakistan killing civilians, while accusing Pakistan of targeting civilians as well. Some things never change, like when the Israeli's strike at schools, UN relief centers and hospitals, claiming Hama fighters were hiding inside. The Ukrainians were also using civilians as human shields in buildings against Russian attacks during the initial stage of the war.

It now looks like a drone war is being fought with each side claiming shooting down the others drone in huge numbers. After what the Ukrainians and Israelis did to claim the shooting down of more drones than what the other side launched, all this must be taken with a spoonful of salt.

Cabinet reshuffle - No one is born to do the job except for 2 irreplaceables

No one is born to do the job. They are trained and gather experience for the job.
Low Thia Khiang told us that when he was elected MP for Hougang SMC in 1991, he was just like a new-born baby trying to survive in a political establishment that basically wanted to see him collapse, by placing hurdles in front of him. They did not even see it fit initially to allow him to set up a decent place for him to do his job or meet residents. This is from the mouth of an elderly lady when interviewed recently, and which is why Hougang SMC had such support from residents like her for more than 34 years. Residents of Hougang SMC will not allow Hougang SMC to fall, after all the difficulties faced by Low to be allowed to go to waste. Hougang residents faced much discrimination and deprivation over the decades, but the ruling party failed to break their spirit.

Therefore, talent is a debatable issue. We have heard of the gloating of Prime Minister materials culled from army generals in the past, that were purposefully inducted on the coattails of LKY or other big guns but fell far short of expectations. What those generals may undertake with flying colors in the army does not necessarily translate into becoming good leaders in the political arena.

Enough said.

Major cabinet reshuffle

As anticipated, Lawrence Wong, with his new mandate, would be rearranging the pieces in his cabinet. How many old furniture would he removed and replaced by new furniture is now a new topic for discussion. There are many reasons, including international issues that would necessitate such a change.  CNA has a piece on this new development and below are two positions that have been put forward.

'That said, some portfolios may remain untouched despite long tenures, particularly in “specialist ministries” such as trade and industry, foreign affairs, law and home affairs, said Mr Malminderjit Singh, managing director of Terra Corporate Affairs.

Among the current batch of Cabinet members, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan has been leading foreign affairs for 10 years and Mr K Shanmugam has been overseeing home affairs and law for 10 years and 17 years respectively.'

This position states that many old furniture are indispensable and cannot be touched or removed because there is a lack of talent in the cabinet and no one is good enough to replace the incumbents. They are as good as being there for life. Maybe should bring in some new citizens that are more talented in the next GE.

A second view, below, disagrees.

'Singapore Management University’s law don Eugene Tan said the reshuffle would be major, as Mr Wong would want to show the depth of talent within the ruling party.

“Most of the 4G are not ‘his’ people. They all came in at about the same time," Assoc Prof Tan said. "There will be a focus from PM Wong on appointing people at the junior ministerial levels, where they would get their first POH appointments in his tenure.”'

Lawrence Wong would want his own trusted comrades to work with him, men and women with similar ideas and viewpoints, not prima donnas or those with contrarian views that would make his job difficult. Also, there is a need to rejuvenate and bring in new blood and new ideas. Old furniture may be too stuck with old ways and need to be moved aside.

It is a dangerous thing for anyone to think he is indispensable or to think that no one is good enough to take over his job. If an oncologist is good enough as a defence minister, an eye specialist as a foreign minister, anyone is good enough for any ministry in politics. In politics, a politician is an expert in anything without the need for any special training or life long training. The training is on the job.

What is the right fit for a political appointment is not academic or professional training and qualification. The expertise of a ministry is derived from the professionals and experts in the respective ministry. The minister needs a good and clear thinking head and a lot of wisdom to make decisions from the advice of his staff.

The house is set for many furniture to be moved, removed and replaced with new furniture to give it a breath of fresh and nice smelling air.

Made in China is quality and luxury! Made in China has arrived

  For a long time, the Americans and the West have been sneering and attacking China and Chinese goods as copies and of poor qualities. This did not disturb China and China continues to work to improve its products and making many products and brands world class, unbeatable that the Americans and the West are openly showering praises on them. Chinese electric cars are now acknowledged as world best even by American and western car makers. Chinese EV batteries are unbeatable, the best of the best that many American and European brands are using EV batteries from BYD and CATL, including Tesla cars.

DJI drones are the best in its fields, both commercial and military drones. The American military forces are also using DJI drones instead of American made drones. And DJI commercial drones are so good that Ukrainian forces are buying and modifying them for military use. DJI is also famous for its camera jig stabiliser and this is in demand by all Vloggers and movie makers. Not only that, DJI cameras are highly sought after equipment. Yes, Chinese cameras, including those used in all Chinese mobile phones are better than the Japanese. Insta360 X4 is the ultimate Vlogger's action camera in the world.

There are many Chinese made products that are now world best, eg solar panels, high speed trains, bridges, port cranes, tunnel boring machine, big ships, containers, now war planes and warships. 5G/6G are undisputed world number one without any challenger. Oh, as for mobile phones, the West only has Apple while China has Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo that are as good as Apple. 

These Made in China products have gained recognition and acceptance for their quality and performance. The other big array of Chinese products that have gained acceptance as good quality products are electronic and household appliances. America is the biggest laboratory to test these products by the Americans and after more than 30 years of usage, they have grown accustomed to them and gladly accepted them as good products Made in China. Every American household is filled with Made in China products.

Now Trump has delivered China a big gift in his tariff war with China. China has decided to do a complete break with the American economy, complete decouple. As such, China does not need to protect the American and western lies that their luxury branded goods are Made in Italy or France when they are all Made in China. China is exposing this big lie and telling the world, the consumers of branded luxury goods that what they are wearing and carrying, quality handbags and apparels, are all Made in China. China is good enough to make all these goods and have been making them for years to happy and satisfied customers. Made in China is now a major manufacturer of quality luxury goods.

What could happen following this development is that Made in China is the real thing, the good stuff. Either they could continue to make these luxury goods with Chinese brands and boldly embossed Made in China on them and selling them at more affordable prices. The luxury brands may come to terms with China, continue to make their items in China, and embossed Made in China on their branded items, without having to lie to their customers that they were Made in Italy or France. This would be a win win for customers, OEM China and the luxury fashion brands, except that the profit margin may be lower for them, while the Chinese manufacturers, now recognised officially, could get a better deal for their craftsmanship.

The fashion and luxury goods world would not be the same again. Made in China will gain acceptance as quality stuff. Latest, Rolex also admitted they were Made in China. Just think about this, the sales volumes are so huge for Rolex and luxury goods, how many manpower, man hours would be needed if they claimed every piece is handmade and each piece takes days to make?

The latest India Pakistan war blows up in the face of French jet manufacturer Dassault for claiming that the Rafales were world best, costing more than $100m a piece but easily knocked down by China's US$50m a piece J10 C. All the western and American myths and lies are falling into pieces. The buyers are feeling very stupid for paying so much for the hype and all they got were lemons.

No need to spend tens of thousands for a luxury bag or watch. No need to spend billions for AI. No need to spend billions to buy junk weapons from the West. China is offering a better and affordable alternative. This is what the American trade war is all about, China cannot sell cheap and good stuff to the world. The Americans said. They must buy American junks and pay through their noses.
