The SCO meeting had a trio of Putin, Xi and Modi, laughing together and probably talking about someone sulking. The Victory Day parade will feature another trio of Putin, Xi and Kim. These are all Trump's friends before, but why is he not invited? The more Trump wants attention, the more some countries will care two hoots about him. Trump is now an outcast. The only support he now has is from the Anglo-Saxon clique.
Oh, by the way Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is reported to be going to Beijing to attend the Victory Day Parade after all. That shows how important China is to Indonesia.

Another triangle: Singapore, India and Philippines . . . losers
ReplyDeleteNATO countries are singing their own song unilaterally about putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. Have the Russians relented? This is as good as NATO being given the go ahead to expand its footprint in Ukraine, which Putin has already drawn his Red Line long ago.
ReplyDeleteEven if the Ukraine War were to end, Putin would never allow NATO countries to act as peacekeepers. NATO members can continue to build castles in the air about being allowed boots on the ground. Russia has every right to target them if they do so as combatants taking part in a war, maybe using an old map story should suffice, LOL.
North Korea now has no qualms about covering up the fact that it is helping Russia openly, while China and India will still be helping Russia economically by buying Russian energy. The USA has no leverage when it comes to China buying Russian energy, a situation that already existed well before the Ukraine War.
Scott Bessant is trying to spin the mantra that India is profiteering from buying Russian oil, which is not going to make any difference as India's live line depends on Russian oil, which it cannot cut off in any way. India already is defying Scott Bessant by telling the USA that it will continue to buy Russian oil, a defiance that is quite unexpected.
While China is changing the facade of war with new weapons, Trump is busy changing names to evoke fear in USA enemies. Does changing the 'Department of Defense' to 'Department of War' of any material benefit, or just ego boosting on paper?
ReplyDeleteWhat does the change of name expect to achieve besides just trying to sound threatening? Russia is not rattled and craving for peace in Ukraine. China cares two hoots and is minding its own business. China just has to keep its rare earth magnets away from its enemies, not fearing any immaterial name changing, just like naming the sun as the moon. The sun will not change into the moon and vice versa just because someone wants to call it that.
China should rename rare earths to China earths and therefore not available to the orange loser.
DeleteTrump may be pasting rare earth on his face to give it the strange orange colour.
ReplyDeleteOops, that is mud, orange mud masquerading as rare earth, LOL.
DeleteMaybe Trump is trying to tell us he has rare earth to spare, by using it on his face. What better way to show off, right?
