Trump is a wimp

 The mastermind behind the genocide of the Palestinians is none other than Donald Trump. He is the one that approved all the policies and decisions to decimate the Palestinians and to steal their land. Period. But Trump acted so innocently, that he has nothing to do with the massacre of the Palestinians. His hands are so clean. He did not know that it is happening under his watch. All the bombs, weapons of mass destruction that the Israelis dropped on Gaza and the Palestinians have nothing to do with him. He would not own up, he just pretends that he knows nothing about it.

The bombing of Doha and the killing of the Palestinian delegates were approved by Trump. Again, he pretended not to know. The Israelis did not tell him, did not ask for his permission. So he claimed. He only knew after the killing, but with all the time to order American forces and radar stations to stand down, not to stop the Israeli aircraft from bombing Doha.

The military buildup of an invasion force on the waters off Venezuela is to fight drug trafficking. Really? The Americans needed marines, submarines, F35s, warships, landing craft, to fight drug traffickers that carried at best a few rocket launchers but mostly small arms.

When is Donald the wimp going to stand up like a man and say, 'I am responsible, I ordered the killing!' When is Trump going to say it like a man that he approved the genocide of the Palestinians, all the weapons and bombs used to kill them? When is he brave enough to tell the world that the military force outside Venezuela is to threaten an invasion of Venezuela? TACO is about backing out. But being a coward, afraid to admit what he is doing is the behaviour of a wimp. Where is the macho American hero called Donald Trump? All he is showing to the world is that of a bully, and a wimp, hiding behind lies and dubious acts.

Come on Trump. Stop being a wimp. Tell Maduro and the world that you are going to invade Venezuela. Tell the world that you approved all the criminal acts of Netanyahu in his slaughtering of the Palestinians. Do not hide under the facade of anonymity. If you dare to do it, own up and be a man.

Trump pissed because Xi refused to see him

Trump is now throwing tantrums, claiming that his meeting with Xi scheduled within the next two weeks is off, in the face of further rare earth sanctions by China. Is this again own-self talking to own-self. as I am clueless without the Chinese side talking about the coming meeting or confirming it.

Xi must be quietly calling it a blessing in disguise if the meeting had indeed been scheduled and now cancelled. Trump had been hoping to pressure China to sell more rare earth magnets to the USA and also to coerce China to help USA farmers by buying more soya beans and corn. Now Xi does not even have to worry about having to talk about it. For a moment, I am beginning to wonder if China is taking a leaf from the USA behavior before any meeting by showing the USA who has the upper hand with further sanctions on rare earth materials before the touted meeting. This clearly shows how desperate the USA is without rare earth magnets for building more weapons to target China in the coming war.

Trump is going to increase another 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. On the one hand Trump is worried about Chinese goods not moving fast enough to the USA and now wanting to increase tariffs further to put a stop to Chinese products. Chinese manufacturers must be shaking in their pants hearing about the 100% tariffs coming. But suffice to say, they have already built new bridges with other countries for their exports and are not waiting for Trump to do the necessary. As I already said many a time before, Trump can increase his tariffs on China to 1,000% and it is not going to move the needle. That is just academic, knowing that the 30% tariff now existing is already killing retailers and punishing USA consumers with the drop in Chinese imports. Trump is realistically just flogging a tariff dead horse.

The most hilarious high speed train project...between Japan and India

  The Indonesia high speed train has been running more than a year and the Indonesians are enjoying every minute of it, smooth, fast, modern and luxurious. Indonesia is the first Asean country after Laos to have this advanced and convenient mode of transportation. India, Thailand and Vietnam also contracted to build high speed trains at about the same time as Indonesia, to Japan, their 'most trusted, reliable and technologically superior' high speed train manufacturer.

Not sure about what happened to the projects in Thailand and Vietnam. But both had stalled and practically nothing was done, leaving the two countries frustrated, angry and still hoping that the 'trustworthy and reliable' Japanese would do their part to complete the projects.

India's case was a bit exceptional. The projected was initially won by the Chinese. But the Japanese undercut the Chinese and hijacked the project with 'cheaper price' and many too good to believe promises. India was delighted by this god given project from their good friend Japan.

With the high cost of labour and everything in Japan, the Japanese cannot by any means, charge anything lesser than the Chinese. This already smell a fish. Other than politics and wanting to undermine the Chinese, maybe the Japanese were planning to snook the Indians in some other ways to make profit from the project. The Japanese were never in the habit of making losses in such a big project costing billion. Here is the catch. Somewhere, somehow, the Indians would be squeezed to cough out more money to pay the Japanese...substandard parts and material, over and above, ...

The Indians too were rubbing their hands, how to squeeze out more from the Japanese. Transfer of technology must be top priority in the Indian mind. Delay payment for a hundred years, or demanding for more time, finding faults with the projects to demand compensation, accusing the Japanese for violating Indian laws to fine the Japanese etc etc were all in the cards.

This is a hilarious project from the start with both sides waiting to fix the other, to snook the other, to cheat and profit from the project. When both parties have such dubious intent, insincerity, there is no chance for the project to take off. Japan smelt a rat early when the Indians started to make ridiculous and unreasonable demands and decided to wipe their hands and let the project stall. The Indians thought the Japanese were easy to cheat, especially knowing that the Japanese were desperate to steal the project from the Chinese and likely to accept all the demands from the Indians. The Indians did not expect that the 'trustworthy and reliable' Japanese would just drop the project like a hot potato and simply walk away, leaving the Indians to hold the baby, stillbirth.

This is a story of two clever snakes trying to out snake each other from the start. A classic case study for MBA programmes.

China no longer tolerates US aggression and will fight it till US is defeated.

The United States has been creating wars and carrying out regime change for the last over 80 years since the end of the Second World War so as to achieve its ulltimate objective of world hegemony. To achieve its design of world hegemony it must remove stumbling blocks to its diabolical ambition. It is determined to get rid of Russia and China first. To this end it has ceaselessly create tensions, choas, turmoils, uprisings, revolutions and wars around the periphery of Russia and China's borders. In 1978 US created the Mujaheedin terrorist organisation to oppose the Afghan government which was on good terms with Russia. CIA's intention was to lure Soviet Russia to attack and crush the Mujaheedin in a long guerrila war as equivalent to United States Vietnam war. The intention was to wear down and weaken Soviet Russia. To weaken China US created the Korean War 1950 - 1953. US ceasely interferes in China's internal affairs especially in the Chinese civil war. CIA endlessly creates tensions, suspicions and border incidents between China and its neighbouring countries. US greatest historical scam and protection racket was to induce other countries to believe that they need US protection from communist Russia and China. CIA just convinced these countries that all they need was to buy US weapons and allow the US military and their commercial corporations to operate freely in their countries and to give US veto power over who should be their leaders and thus then US will be able to protect their countries. What a sham and bogus deal which subsequently result in the impoverishment and destruction of those countries exploited to no end by the United States. US managed to bring down the Soviet Union by default due to Soviet Russia's internal weakness. It is trying to use hybrid warfare to bring down China similarly. But China and the Chinese people and theChinese leaders are too smart and wise to fall into their snare. On the contrary US evil and wicked diabolical schemes against China has the opposite effect of providing a vital catalyst for China to innovate, build up and strengthen its development in all spheres of science and technology, the military, the economy,trade and commerce, finance and banking, infrastructures like High SpeedRailways, aerodynamics and industries, space and cyber, 5G, 6G and Quantumn and digital computers. China is now indeed far ahead of US and the West in many of the sciences and technologies. China has now no fear of the US and the West aggression and trouble making. Below is an article forwarded to me by a netizen. It is of importance for all people of the South especially imperative for all Chinese people to read and understand the great gravity of US threat to the survival of all non-European, non-white and non Anglo-Saxon people. "China is now fearless drawing red lines with US and no longer can be bullied. Unprecedented China-US Tianjin Talks . Unprecedented in history. For the first time there is a country telling the US to behave or face consequence. Xie Feng urge the US to change its extremely dangerous China policy. The recent talks between China and the United States surprised the world even more than the last meeting in Alaska and shocked the United States even more, because in this meeting for the first time, China has completely, systematically, and sharply denounced the anti-China behaviour of the United States and issued a list of correcting the wrong policies, words and deeds of the United States as well as individual cases that China cares about and should be corrected. This is a diplomacy that the United States has never encountered an opponent because the United States has dominated the world for more than a hundred years. It has successively defeated competitors such as Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union and maintained its position as the head of the global village. It can be said that there has never been country that has issued a list and drawn red lines for the United States like China. Before that only the United States had this kind of attitude to others. Yes, on earth in the eyes of the United States there are mainly six types of countries. The first category is allies, such as Israel, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, canada, Australia etc. The second category is occupied countries such as Japan and South Korea. The third categoty is quasi-allies such as some countries in Europe, the Philippines in Asia, South Africa in Africa and Brazil in the Americas. The fourth category is countries with strategic cooperation such as Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, Egypt etc. The fifth category is some weak countries that can be bullied by it at will. The sixth category is countries that are hostile to the United States but their overall strength is indeed far behind such as Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and other countries. These five types of countries can only rely on flatter, deal with or succumb to the diplomatic pressure of the United States. The only exceptions are Russia and China. Relying on its strategic weapons and military strength Russia often confronts the United States tit for tat but it has never directly reprimanded the Americans diplomatically. China on the other hand has a comprehensive ability to resist pressure due to the enhancement of it political, military, economic, technological and other comprehensive strengths. It is also the first country to directly reprimand Americans on diplomatic occasions and draw red lines for Americans. Americans are vey shocked. All the elites in Washington these days are realizing the significance of China's actions. This time China has created six unprecedences. The first is that Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Xie Feng has systemmatically and completely reprimanded the Americans which is unprecedented. The second is to publish the complete critical speech of the Chinese before the Americans without saying a single word of the other party's speech which is unprecedented. The third is to directly issue a list of questions for Americans to correct their mistakes which is unprecedented. The fourth is the refusal to discuss the American list of problems and the refusal to discuss cooperation without the United States correcting the mistakes which is unprecedented. The fifth is to directly deny the United States definition of Sino-US relations which is unprecedented. The three bottom lines drawn by Foreign Minister Wang Yi are almost impossible for the US to abide by. This also means that from now on China will not intend to unilaterally tolerate and improve bilateral relations when the Americans insist on going their own way. Wang Yi said: First the United States must not challenge , slander, or even try to subvert the path and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is the core interest that China must uphold. Second the United States must not try to obstruct or even interrupt China's development process. China urges the US to lift all unilateral sanctions, high tariffs, long-arm jurisdiction and technology blockade imposed on China as soon as possible. Third the United States must not violate the sovereignty of China's national sovereignty, let alone undermine China's territorial integrity. It is not allowed to damage China's sovereignty on issues such as Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. As for the Taiwan issue it is even more important. If the "Taiwan independence " dares to provoke, China has the right to to take any necessary measures to stop it. We urge the US side to honor its commitments and act with caution on the Taiwan issue. As long as you take a serious look at these three bottom lines you can see that Americans may never abide by the three bottom lines. If China dares to draw them, it shows that China is determined to fight the United States to the end this time. Either the United States will change its course and China-US relations will be on the right track or China will not hesitate to show the sword and its cards to force the Americans to submit to these major issues. In a word the United States must not deliberately try to bring China down, destroy China and mess up China. This is a high tension line. It would be impossible for the US to insist on these three activities while pretending to cooperate with us. Everyone says that dipomacy needs the backing of strength. China is the first to formally teach the United States a lesson, put forward a list of mistakes to correct , and clearly draw the bottom line. What is the confidence? I gathered three recognitions. First: The Chinese people's support for the leadership of the Communist Party and their recognition of the country's system and path have reached an unprecedented high level. The Chinese people have never had befoore as they do today such a clear understanding of the ugly nature of imperialism and capitalism, and the uglly faces of those hideous people who cooperate with each other from the inside and the outside . This is where China has the most confidence. The second is that after 70 years of rapid development China has made great progress in the fields of politics, economy, culture, finance, science, technology, military affairs and diplomacy. It has become the second strongest country in terms of comprehensive strength. From the perspective of development momentum, it is entirely possible to become a superpower that surpasses the United States in about 20 years. Tomorrow I will analyze that. China is not afraid of the so-called compprehensive decoupling between China and the United States. The third and the most important one is that China already has a very specific and realistic nuclear strike capability. This is a capability that the United States is particular afraid of and dreads. Russian President Vladimir Putin once said that if Russia does not exist then the world is meaningless to us. What he meant was that if someone was going to destroy Russia, Russia was going to destroy the world. This is why a country whose GDP is only at the level of the Guangdong Province in China and whose economic scale is smaller than that of South Korea is feared by Americans because Russia has the ability to destroy America more than once. If the United States and Russia start a nuclear war they will definitely destroy themselves. In fact today's China, the United States is very clear, already has the actual nuclear capability to destroy the United States. My country latest Dongfeng 41 intercontinental missile is currently the most advanced in the world. Its performance has surpassed the American Minuteman 3 and Russia's Topol M with a range of up to 15,000 kilometers. It can carry more than a dozen nuclear warheads with variable orbits and the nuclear equivalent is equivalent to 23 atomic bombs that bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Under such nuclear missile attacks it is difficult for a country to survive. The most terrible thing is that Dongfeng 41 is mobile and all weather, that is to say that it can be launched from any place at any time. This ensures that China has reliable second-strike nuclear capability, because such a mobile missile cannot be completely destroyed in the first round of nuclear strikes. Therefore from now on, the Americans will never dare to have any fluke mentality to start a war with China. What's more, China also has the submarine-launched nuclear missile Julang-3, which also has a range of 15,000 kilometers. It is also a multi-warhead nuclear bomb and is also a highly mobile strategic weapon. Julang-3 only needs to be in the inner sea of Bohai Sea to complete the launch. Land-based and sea-based also have mobile-long range nuclear strike capalities. If you have such an advanced dog-beating stick in your hand, you will certainly have the confidence to see any vicious dog. Friends, the Americans have also created an unprecedented situation this time. After the Chinese reprimanded Sherman and his party , the arrogance of the Americans disappeared in the second half of the negotiations. On the contrary in the face of the unprecedented tough attitude of the Chinese the Americans at the scene, the spokesmman of the US state Department, the US president and the Secretary of State all expressed one meaning, that is the US does not seek confrontation and conflict with China. Listen, China for many years was relatively weak. This is a concept that has repeatedly declared for many years. Now, whenever China and the United States draw their swords to counter each other they will probably say something like this. This is allso unprecedented. Why? This is because China's strategic nuclear weapons are becoming more and more powerful and Americans are very afraid. So I emphasize again that Americans should never even think about going to war with China. I hope that every Chinese can forwsard this patriotic article to make our China stronger and stronger and support all patriotic groups. Southernglory1 Sunday, 12th October, 2025

Child President crying for not getting the Peace Prize

Now that Trump failed to get the Nobel Peace Prize, what is he going to do after claiming he ended seven wars single-handedly and yet not getting the reward. The Israel/Hamas peace deal was supposed to consolidate his grip on the Nobel Peace Prize, after all the gloating he made over the last few days. He is going crazy and will run amok soon.

Would Trump now go after the Nobel Prize Committee by changing its members and putting his own sycophants inside as someone commented earlier? Not far-fetched I think, knowing that the USA controls the Anglo-Saxon Whites and thus all the world bodies including the Nobel Prize Committee. That is the first change I am looking forward to inside the Nobel Prize Committee. What Trump cannot have his way: he will do it the mafia way. The same he is doing at home with the jobs matter, the judiciary and against his political opponents.

Now that the Nobel Peace Prize goes to someone else, what about the peace deal and hostage and prisoner release next week between Israel and Hamas? Probably going to be scuttled with excuses thrown in. Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti was among those that Hamas wanted back, but Israel said he is not included in the prisoner exchange. How it that going to affect the deal? Things are getting really interesting, now that the Nobel Peace Prize is out of the way.

Do not underestimate America!

 The faith in the great American society, their innovation and creative and free spirit is still a vivid memory of the people that lived through the golden years of American greatness. America seems to be the indestructible Empire, growing from strength to strength after WW2. The defeats in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Afghan War did not cause a dent on the American armour of invincibility.

Trump is now in the midst of the biggest American War ever, a world war on all fronts, short of a kinetic war, in domestic America and the world. And Trump is dancing on every stage he is appearing, that he is the victor. And his merry men and supporters were all with him, in large numbers in all his parades, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, America will be great again, in the hands of the great Trump and his creatures in Washington. Do not underestimate America, nothing will go wrong or can go wrong in America.

Lately the tide seems to have changed, with the cheering lowered to a whimper, with rally crowds disappearing, with national guards all over the cities attacking Americans instead of Trump supporters. And the media have a great day of fun and laughter, displaying everything they can get their hands on about Trump's exciting past. But not to worry, nothing can stop Trump and America.

The farmers are having a bit of worrying about their crops not selling. These hillbillies will rise to the occasion with their ingenuity and creative spirit. There are plenty of wonderful alternatives to switch from farm produces to other more lucrative products. Maybe they can turn all their glorious farmlands into mines for badly needed rare earths. Rare earths are everywhere, just dig and you will find them. The farmers would become richer and can support Trump more wholeheartedly.

They can also turn their lands into playground for car racing and motor sports. The falling oil prices due to excess oil available that China and the world are not buying while Russia and the Middle East are offering them to China and India at great discounts mean that Americans have oil practically for free. This could lead to a great revival of gas guzzlers, 10,000cc automobiles from American legendary giants like Ford, Chrysler, GM etc etc. There is no need to close down these car factories. Americans can build more ICE car factories like the roaring days of the 60s and 70s. There will be plenty of flat lands to fly their gigantic tanks on the plains of America. Say goodbye to EVs that are not really green friendly, say goodby to climate change, when oil is aplenty and cheap like hell. Las Vegas would be alive and merry again. Chicago, Detroit, Ohio, Cincinnati, can have all the motowns, cowboys and bars packed to the brim again and merry making.

By the way, the American farmers can turn themselves into philanthropists, offering their produces free to the rest of the world, to the hungry in third world countries and those in Gaza, and be made famous for their generosities.

Boeing, with all their Indian engineers from the schools of little Indian villages can continue to produce and sell more planes to American companies when oil is cheap. Flying around the abandoned or transformed fields of soya beans would be great funs for the weekend. Nevermind that nobody is buying Boeings anymore. American domestic market would be big enough to absorb all the Boeing planes. Every American can buy and own one instead of automobiles for commutation, cheaper than drones.

The American weapons industry too would have a lot of businesses manufacturing weapons for wargames that need only duds to fly or shoot around. There may be no more wars around the world, but Americans can have a lot of wargames with Americans or the European states, expending as much weapons as they need and bill to the War Department to churn the economy. The Military Industrial Complex would be just as happy. The American innovative spirit would be pushed to the limits, with National Guards playing wargames between states, and chasing after illegal immigrants along the streets...and beating up Americans.

The chip manufacturers too would be doing well, selling more advanced chips to MacDonald and Kentucky. There will be the happy problems of overcapacity in chip production in America while China is selling to the whole world with cheaper and better chips. Chip manufacturers can lower their production cost by importing more cheap and good Indian workers for their factories and supply chains.

America will never run out of great ideas with Clown Trump and his weasels in charge. They will turn the whole of America into a bigger circus with more exhilarating clownish acts. With more generals resigning, the military can be run cheaper with redneck generals that are expert in playing with guns in their backyards. Hegseth can carry a cane to whip the generals into shape. American streets would be alive and well, with fireworks from all the guns and heavy weapons that are now available for sale, and trigger happy National guards and ICE men with combat gears battling local police and sheriffs.

America will be such a great and exciting place after it achieves full isolation from the rest of the world, full self sufficiency in everything, especially in obsolete technology and abundance of oil and gas automobiles. NASA will be reactivated to send more manned missions to the moon in the Arizona Desert. Do not underestimate America when clowns and weasels and creeps are in charge. And there will be plenty of American dollars flowing freely in the streets of America. Americans will be very rich, with dollars overflowing from their pockets, baskets, bags and garages. Every American will become multi billionaires, throwing money happily everywhere, inside America.

And Trump can contribute all his wonderful ideas on what medicine to produce for the pharmaceutical industries. There will be a Trump cure for everything bearing Trump's signature. MAGA will become a reality. Trump will cure the failing American economy. He will make the farmers and ranchers rich again by asking them to sell their farms and ranches...but cannot sell to Chinese buyers. Or Trump may teach them now to become bankrupts and come back again like him.

Trump started all the trade and tariff wars and is now crying foul!

Trump initiated a trade war against China during his first term that is still unravelling. He launched another tariff war against China and the rest of the world during this second term, and the consequences are just beginning to be realized as to who it is hurting more. What has Trump actually managed to achieve so far? Make America Greater Again does not seem to be working? On the contrary, it is making China even greater.

For a start, why is Scott Bessent crying aloud about China holding USA farmers hostage by not buying their soya beans and corn. What about the USA Government refusing to let USA consumers buy Chinese EVs and erecting high tariffs on other Chinese goods? Are the two methods of carrying out a trade war not identical? What constitutes a trade war if one side just had to concede on every front without retaliating? That is nothing like a trade war. That is capitulation to high-handed bullying. Who started the trade war in the first place? The one that started it should not be crying foul, right?

The USA assumed that China is just like Germany and Japan that it could just dictate to and put them under its thumb to prevent them from rising in the past. China already said that it is ready for any war with the USA and the USA can ignore that warning at its own risk.

China had put its plan to take on the USA on every front probably decades earlier, while the USA was basking in its arrogance and overconfidence that China can never rise to compete against it. The pushing of Russia towards China was the real blessing in disguise, with the two countries complementing each other perfectly in terms of energy supply in return for economic support.

China set its sights on overcoming the prospect of blockades by building the BRI to enable it to overcome those chokepoints, namely the Straits of Malacca, Suez Canal and Panama Canal. Oil from Russia now comes through pipelines and also by train from Iran. Trade with Central Asia comes through the BRI that also extends to Europe. China had been building up its renewable energy base of dams, wind turbines, solar energy and nuclear power plants, while the USA is intent on sticking to the fossil fuel route. That diversification by China takes care of one important National Security Risk for China.

China leveraged on the trade war initiated by Trump during his first term by migrating its food supplies from USA to Brazil, Argentina and Russia. It served two purposes - retaliation against the USA and solving its National Security Risk in food requirements. In fact, there is a third purpose which is de-dollarization. Having said that, China had also been busy with its own food production in house with desert reclamation projects and experiments in saltwater rice that has reaped success. Do we know that China is now the biggest producer of seafood in the world?

Apart from energy and food, China also controls important resources that it set out to acquire like rare earth, essential metals, bauxite and others needed for its industries together with the building of all the processing and refining logistics. China is now self-sufficient in many areas and does not have to rely on others, particularly unfriendly ones.

Trump is the Godsent devil for the evil Americans

Trump supplying all the weapons to Israel to kill innocent women and children and then try to tell the world that he is trying to bring peace to the Middle East is a tad difficult to believe. More like Satan telling his believers that only he can bring them to heaven, not the other side of the divide.
Trump is not bringing peace to the Middle East for the sake of peace. He wants to pivot the war towards Iran and also against China. Believe me, the USA cannot sustain a war with Iran and China without shaking off support for Israel and therefore calling for a peace deal with Hamas is part of his sick agenda.

The USA has practically washed its hands off the Ukraine fiasco, knowing a victory is beyond reach and is just pushing the support for Ukraine to the Europeans, which the latter are finding it tenuous. It is just a division of labor, knowing the Anglo-Saxon Whites of Europe will have to continue with the war against Russia in Ukraine for the benefit of the USA. It was a glorious sacrifice by the Europeans, even willing to kill themselves economically for the USA.

What is more evident of the problems facing the USA can be gauged from the transfer of 20,000 defensive missiles from Ukraine to Israel during the skirmish with Iran. Weapons are clearly in short supply supporting two wars, and the USA clearly cannot afford to provide Israel with more missiles for taking down Iranian launched missiles during the conflict. Hence the need to transfer those missiles to Israel. Now trying to pull wool over unsuspecting eyes by gloating about producing more of such defensive missiles for Ukraine.

The USA and its allies are now planning to counter China's rare earth control by creating an Alliance of several countries, including India and Australia to beef up the supply of rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are essential for the making of weapons - rockets, drones, fighter jets, submarines and naval vessels, not to talk about commercial usage like EVs, mobile phones and computers. How long is this venture going to take? What took China more than two to three decades to reach its dominance will probably need several decades for the Alliance to come to fruition, with all the logistics, environmental issues to be sorted out. Good luck to those countries willing to pour in huge resources to build those facilities.

The problem for such an Alliance is the fact that China has the excess capacity to put them out of business by dumping supplies when those facilities outside China are up and running and bearing fruit. Are investors willing to face such a risk? I do not think so. Ever wonder why the USA is making so much of an issue over China's overcapacity? That in a way is partly China's National Security issue if truth be told.

What are the 'friendly, peace loving, champion of human rights and democracy' doing everyday?

  America, the paragon of all goodness and virtues, of love, democracy, human rights and peace, is on the front page news everyday. And the believers of this fetish, fake angels, really are demons, monsters, warmongering savages, murderers and everything evil, are doing exactly opposite of what their blind and dumb believers believe in them.

Top on the list, committing genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, providing Israel, the executioners, with all the financial, political and military support, all the weapons and bombs, to do the killing. In Ukraine, the American terrorists are doing the same, full military, political and financial support in a war to destroy Russia, a sovereign nation state. Both Israel and Ukraine are protected by the American military forces to conduct wars and genocide without fear of being attacked by any country or countries.

In Venezuela, under the blatant and audacious excuse of drug trafficking, the American terrorists have amassed a huge invasion force of marines, warships, submarines and aircraft to invade another sovereign state. The believers are silent, supporting the American terrorists by consent.

In Nepal and Indonesia, the American just incited two massive rioting against the democratically elected govt, to conduct regime change. They were successful in overthrowing the Nepalese govt, but not in Indonesia.

In the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, the American terrorists continue to send their warships and warplanes to provoke China, to raise tension in the region and preparing for war with China. They are also sending more missile detachments into the region, with range that can reach China mainland.

Around the war, the American terrorists have started a world war by imposing tariffs on many nation states and coercing them from trading with China and Russia.

In Africa and Latin America, the American terrorists are everywhere fermenting revolt to destabilise these countries.

And America is the only rogue regime that has a budget of US$1.5b to fabricate and publish misinformation against countries they labelled as threats or enemies when no one is threatening America. US$1.5b is a huge sum of money, the whole defence budget of many small countries. Only the evil Americans would spend this kind of money to demonise, badmouth and slander countries when countries are all minding their own business, trading and rebuilding their economies, instead to making life better for Americans.

And the latest, aiding the Israelis or actually conducted bombing of Doha to kill peace makers in negotiation themselves.

The point is, no other countries in the whole world is conducting such aggressive and destructive activities anywhere, against any nation state, except the American terrorists themselves. And the stupid and blind believers are still believing in this evil American Empire, refusing to see the harm and crimes against humanity and peace committed by the evil American terrorists, still sinking praises of the followers of Satan.

America is the most evil and warmongering state in the world, and still fighting non stop wars and committing genocides and crimes against humanity, with rogues, scoundrels, liars and cheats and morally corrupted clowns in charge. America is a disease, a plague to world peace.

Negotiation is for the weak and losers

China today is not what it used to be yesterday. China must start to get use to its new stature as a real superpower not just militarily, but economically and in all fields.  The time for China to talk, to negotiate from the position of weakness is over. This does not mean that China should go around with a big stick and start to order everyone around. This is the time for China to mean what it says in its foreign policies and principles in non interference in other states' domestic affairs. China will not interfere in the domestic affairs of nation states, but China will not allow any state, big or small, Mickey Mouse, to mess around with China's domestic affair. China is ready to use the big stick against anyone messing around with China, provoking or agitating China. China need not be nice to troublemakers and irritating Mickey Mouse. China would continue to respect and treat every country as equals, but would be very rude to troublemakers. All the military aircraft of Mickey Mouse countries flying close to China's territorial airspace must be dealt with vigorously.

The evil American Empire did not negotiate with any country on anything. It just dictates to others on its own terms, on terms written by the Americans from a position of strength, like a big bully. The 20 points of settle for the Gaza conflict are not terms for negotiation. These are terms the Americans set for the Palestinians, like it or not. And the weak Palestinians are to accept them in toto, at best begging for a little concession. It is not meant for negotiation. Israel and the Americans are the biggest winner. The biggest mowing operation has the Palestinians back by at least 30 years with 2 million people rendered hapless in every way to rebuild their flattened country and their lives. Several generations of the Palestinians have been wasted by the genocide and wanton destruction of their lives and land. No compensation and war reparation!

China should not behave like the American rogues, the world top terrorist nation, to bully the rest of the world. China should treat the rest of the world as equals, as friends and partners, and there are things to negotiate, they should be negotiated fairly, equitably, on a win win basis. To achieve this, China must continue to grow its economy in all fields, to provide the goods and services that the world needs at competitive prices and quality. This is the real strength of a superpower, not the use of military might to bully and coerce nation states to do its bidding.

China must at the same time continue to build a strong military power to not only protect itself and its rights and national sovereignty, it must also be strong enough to protect the rights and sovereignty of all nation states, to establish a secure world of peace and economic prosperity, not to be cowered or forced into wars, unending wars of the rogue American Empire.

When China has established both economic and military superiority, there is no need to be nice to Mickey Mouse and pests, big or small. When they misbehaved, just give them the stick. The world needs to function in peace and security for the good of all countries. No need for unnecessary silly negotiations based on fake and fabricated excuses of the American terrorists. The big stick is the answer to the problems created by the gangsters and terrorists of the evil American Empire. They can only be stopped by force, not by fake negotiations. All the problems and troubles, wars in the world are created by the evil Americans. War is their business. The evil Americans prosper on a world with endless wars. Peace is not in their agenda.

The Americans have several armies of troublemakers. The CIA, the intelligence services, the foreign offices, diplomats, trade negotiators etc etc. These armies are out there to create trouble. That is their main job, to destabilise countries, spread lies and mislead countries, support terrorists, dissidents, traitors, mercenaries, saboteurs, conduct regime changes, assassinate national leaders, bribe opponents of ruling govts. China must not engage in negotiations with these American troublemakers. They did not negotiate to solve issues or problems but to create more issues to pressure and coerce China, to upset China. China must know what to negotiate, what to talk, to set the agenda and narratives. Do not be led by the Americans and the West to talk and talk, negotiate and negotiate, even negotiate about your wives and fathers. The best thing is to talk less with the Americans and the West, less negotiation. Just do and act on what is necessary. Make these troublemakers redundant, out of jobs, loss in what to do when there is nothing for them to do.

The Americans and the West have adopted this concerted practice to attack China in any trade negotiation with Xinjiang, Tibet or Taiwan as a preample to attack and embarrass China. China should not allow this to happen anymore. If the Americans and the West want to vomit their shit in China, tell them to swallow the shit and go somewhere else, cancel the negotiation or talks immediately. The Americans simply threw wild accusations about genocide in Xinjiang and demanded China to prove its innocence, demanding the right to investigate in Xinjiang. China should shaft the big middle finger into their face and tell them to fuck off. All their crimes against humanity, war crimes, invading countries, assassination of national leaders, now threatening to invade Venezuela, genocide in Gaza....are the worse behaviours befitting of animals and savages.

The world must live in peace to pursue economic prosperity and development instead of being dragged into endless wars every day in every corner of the world. Yes, no need for useless and time wasting negotiation under false premises, when China is strong enough to deal with troublemakers with a big stick. There is no room nor space for troublemakers in a civilised and prosperous world. No room for warmongers and merchants of weapons of mass destruction as a business to get rich by killing and destruction under fake pretexts of democrazy, human rights or freedoms. The world needs real peace, real freedom, real democracy, real human rights for everyone to live well, with pride, dignity and respect.

Only a strong China, alone or in alliance with the rest of the world, can achieve this, to put an end to wars, destruction and bickering, threats and coercion. The warmongers and terrorists must be stopped for the good of humankind by force. That is the only language they know.

Trump is squeezing dry Japan, South Korea and Taiwan

Now, not even Taiwan trusts Trump about moving 50% of TSMC's manufacturing to the USA. Little by little Trump is squeezing the last drop of juice remaining in TSMC. What Trump wants is the technology in TSMC's high end semiconductor dominance. Nothing more and nothing about protecting Taiwan per se.

Japan's upcoming new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is also rethinking the US$550 billion investments extracted through arm twisting by Trump on Shigeru Ishiba, the resigning Japanese PM during tariff negotiations.

South Korea is also not committed to invest US$350 billion in the USA, also arm twisted by Trump during tariff negotiations. Trump even wants South Korea to pay that investment upfront, acting like a mafia lord. After the ICE raid and arrest of Hyundai workers in the USA, South Korea is standing up to Trump in the face of the South Korean worker's indignant protests.

Now, all that gloating by Trump about investments by Japan and South Korea is like a puff of hot air, going, going and soon gone. Trump is really making USA Great Again, with even allies now distancing themselves from his childish behavior. Asians are basically telling Trump that enough is enough.

Risk to America launching a reckless attack on China is with the no brain Trump and equally brainless Washington rogues

This is all assuming the Chinese have not time and capability to retaliate from a first strike. I believe the Chinese knows the meaning of second-strike capabilities, as not all nuclear weapons and their whereabouts can be destroyed with first strike on the vastness of the Chinese mainland and on the high seas. One or two nukes against Seoul, Tokyo and Manila will silence them for good. The nukes today are unlike those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those are just like firecrackers in comparison, dropped on a hapless non-nuclear Japan that cannot retaliate.

That is also assuming North Korea's Kim is just prepared to sit around twiddling his thumb and Putin is just taking a nap. What are Putin and Kim's purpose in attending the Victory Day Parade in Beijing? To exchange T-shirts with Xi, enjoy Chinese food or make further deals to consolidate their military strategy? Your guess is as good as mine.

Kim Jong Un knows that China and Russia are its guarantee of survival and would not be sitting around to face destruction likewise. Putin knows Russia depends much on Chinese economic support and has much to lose if China capitulates to the West. That will expose Russia on all fronts facing NATO to the West and USA occupied China to the South East.

It is not as simple as the USA assuming it can walk all over China with ease. Even Vietnam, a small country is nothing like a walkover for the USA if we consider the differences in military strength. Yet the USA lost the war with all the military advantages.

The USA may have fought countless wars during its short history, some with painful defeat like in Vietnam. China has fought many wars, both civil and against foreign aggression in its five- thousand-year history and has yet to collapse, unlike the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Hitler's war machine and Napolean the military genius.

Let us say the USA takes control of China, just like the attempts made by the Anglo-Saxon White clique in the past dividing up China into concessions. Can the USA hope to rule over China with its vast landscape and the Chinese definitely going to fight back. Even controlling Iraq and Afghanistan posed huge logistic problems for the USA. China is bigger than that and the USA is just like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. It will choke itself to death.

明天会更好 Tomorrow Will Be Better - Chinese, Pinyin & English Translation

Donald Trump is the most evil man today!

 Stop looking away, stop pretending that you do not know what is going on in Gaza. Stop the pretence that Trump has nothing to do with the genocide that is going on everyday, every hour, every minute, every second, killing Palestinians women and children happening NOW and not stopping.

Anyone that turns his or her head away by not calling out Donald Trump the mass murderer is as guilty as him. Without Trump's approval, without all the weapons of mass destruction, without his support to put down any opposition against the genocide of the Palestinians, the stoppage of food, medicine and water to the Palestinians, this genocide cannot go on just because the savage Jews want to do it. The few millions of Jews did not have the resources and manpower, the military might and political clout to go on and kill millions of Palestinians and on the verge of the killing another 2 million in Gaza.

Trump is the man that is behind the genocide of the Palestinians. The Washington rogues are all behind Trump by allowing him to go on without any protest, all acting so innocent, that the Americans are not involved in the killing. And the whole of America is behind this killing, the greatest genocide on earth, in the modern history of mankind. It is so easy to stop it. But the Americans, yes, the evil Americans are behind the evil Donald Trump, in committing this crime against humanity.

And the big farce that Trump is a top candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize while being the main person behind the genocide. What happens to calling a spade a spade? Anyone really think Donald Trump is not involved in the genocide of the Palestinians need to see a shrink.

Donald Trump is Satan incarnate. And no one dares to call him out. He is walking around like he is so innocent, nothing to do with him. It is a shame that all the Americans, claiming to be angels, protectors of human rights, human decency, would not lift a finger to stop this genocide. It is a shame to all human beans afraid to call out Donald Trump, the biggest devil alive today.

Donald Trump is the Devil, the mass murderer of Palestinians! This is American virtue, American justice, American rule of law. No, this is Satanic rule of law! Donald Trump and the Americans are the real devils today. Period. You cannot lie to all the people all the time.

Netanyahu is just a tool of Donald Trump, to do the killing for Donald Trump.

No one will trust Trump, not Kim, not Hamas

Hamas cannot be that naive to even suggest that it wants a guarantee from Trump to ensure the peace deal with Israel, which is genuinely going to end the war. Trump would be the last person on earth to honor agreements, even on paper. Why is Hamas digging a hole for itself so that it will fall into eventually?

We should remember the laughable promise by Trump in negotiations with Kim Jong Un years ago, where he promised that Kim will still be able to continue to rule North Korea if Kim takes the deal to totally de-nuclearize. I knew Kim would never trust Trump and it proved to be so. Kim Jong Un is not that stupid as Trump thinks, to believe in a trap set by Trump. This conman will never honor his words, and Kim knows it well enough.

Now, would Hamas really think that Trump will guarantee its survival or is instead making sure that Hamas is going to be destroyed one way or another at the hands of Israel, with the release of the remaining hostages the only pivotal point? Trump cannot even control Netanyahu. On the contrary he is under the control of Netanyahu instead, and his agenda is bringing about a temporary truce by hook or by crook, so that he can smell his Nobel Peace Prize. I do not believe that Hamas leaders are that stupid to even suggest being given such a baseless guarantee from Trump. Peace in the Middle East is just a mirage.

USA is trouble, disease!

Why would China want to conquer USA, a country collapsing under US$37 trillion unpayable debt, a swamp full of warp minded creatures providing leaders to run the Government, a country full of homeless people, a country full of drug afflicted zombies, a country populated by fat, obese and lazy people, a military run by fat and bearded generals as disclosed by its Secretary of War, a Government beholden to Israel and already controlled by the Jews, a country that cannot compete against others on the global stage and using force to drag other countries down to its level of malaise.

China could find better opportunities to work with countries in Africa, Asia and South America than to look for trouble working with the USA creating trouble for others. Evil begets evil and Karma is coming for the USA.

If you were running China, would you even consider conquering the USA and just looking for trouble? The USA is trouble itself and everywhere it goes it creates trouble for others.

American strategic LIE in wargames with China

 The Americans have been peddling the lie that their wargames against China in the western Pacific Ocean have all resulted in losses. The Americans cannot win a war against China because of homeland advantage and the vast ocean that limits American supplies and logistics. And many western so called scholars and Anglophiles too have been parroting this view that gives a lot of comfort to China thinkers. It is the Americans way of disarming the Chinese, giving them a false sense of confidence that China is safe from an American attack from the sea. In simplified terms, the Americans want the Chinese to be lulled and deluded into a false state of security, to underestimate what the Americans could do in a real war.

The truth, China's defence strategy is not working. The AD2D defence net is not working against the Americans. It looks good only on paper, without taking into account the real forces on the ground. The AD2D strategy works only against forces coming from afar, from across the horizon. It does not work when the enemy forces are already entrenched within the defence perimeters, in close range to China.

The Americans have already amassed a huge attack force around the coastal ring of China, mainly in Japan, South Korea and now the Philippines, in addition to their nuclear submarines with nuclear warheads targetting China. Not sure if there are American nuclear weapons in Taiwan.

The Americans would have enough nuclear warheads and destructive weapons in Japan and its islands, all ready to blow up all the coastal Chinese cities from Beijing to Hong Kong within minutes, maybe less than 5 minutes when the order is given. The number and the short distance did not give China a chance to defend itself. Once the missiles are fired, there is no time for China to react, and the consequences is unimaginable. This is how the Americans would take out China, from the inside in a way, not coming in from the Pacific Ocean.

China cannot afford to defend against the American strike forces in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. This is how dire and dangerous the game is being played by the Americans. They have the upper hand and the initiative to destroy China at the flip of a finger. This is where the arrogance of the American rogues in Washington comes from. All the time they were acting dumb smug, that they could destroy China anytime they want and thinking that China is totally ignorant of this fact and cannot do anything about it.

The Chinese military strategists cannot be that dumb not to know the dangerous game the Americans are playing. In a simplistic way, their only answer is to press the button before the Americans. That is the only defence and it requires all the intelligence gathering and technology to pick out the first sign of an attack. The Americans, and the Japanese and South Koreans better pray that they did not send out the wrong signal or the Chinese misread the situation that calls for an immediate all out response. Be very sure the Chinese are sitting on edge, to press or not to press the buttons.

The situation is set that China must be the first to press the button to save itself. China cannot survive if the Americans were to fire first from close range. China would be turned into smokes and ashes.

The Chinese command must have prepared 3 buttons to be pressed at any moment, 24/7 all year round. The first button would let go thousands of missiles against every American base in Japan, all carefully marked out, South Korea and the Philippines. The second button would be against all the Japanese bases. The third button would be against all the South Korean bases. The Japanese and South Koreans would be collateral damages when tension reaches a point for China to press the buttons. They have the Americans to thank for, and also their willingness to be the point man of American aggression against China.

This is a life and death situation for China. The Americans have the advantage, they think they have the advantage. They did not think that China could be forced to press the buttons before them to kill the American advantage. China is cornered to make the first move. It takes a lot of nerves for the Chinese commanders to press or not to press the buttons.

The Americans would want to fight a war with China that they can win. And they have planned every move for this moment. The wargames that they lost most of the time were red herrings, distractions, lies. And they made it very loud for the Chinese to know, to assure the Chinese to think they are safe from an American attack. China is never safe from an attack from the American terrorists. And the American terrorists are pushing for a war with China any moment. China would not be caught sleeping as there is NO second chance to talk about. The American terrorists want to wipe out China for good and are ready for it.

The Chinese are ready and will push the buttons ahead of the Americans. The only way to prevent an unintended war of mutual destruction is for the Americans to pull out their deadly weapons of mass destruction from the fringes of China, from Japan, South Korea and the Philippines to give China time not to act in haste. The American terrorists think they have snooked China, or snooking themselves instead?

Trump point a gun at countries to invest in America

If I were China, helping the USA would be the last country that should be helped. Other than that, I would also mention Mexico, Italy and Argentina. These are snakes in the eagle's shadow that are turning around to bite China.
If I were China, helping countries in BRICS should be the absolute priority. And with that Vietnam, Myanmar and other friendly South-East Asian countries comes to mind for Chinese investments. I mentioned 'friendly' to distinguish some that are less than friendly and could be traitorous.

Further than those, there are countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other countries like Nepal and Bhutan eager to progress with more foreign investments. Not to forget those friendly countries in Africa as well.

The world is so big, and the Global South so full of opportunities that China can do business with. If the West wants to close their borders to Chinese investments, other doors will willingly open up.

Trump is using high handed tactics against Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to invest more in the USA to help with Trump's manufacturing push. Those touted investments were all part of the deal over tariffs with arm twisting so blatant that TSMC is nervous about shifting 50% of its chip production to the USA, which means even the high-end stuff that the USA is looking at with green eyes. If TSMC goes to the USA, Taiwan is no longer of strategic importance to the USA. Keep that in mind.

Amidst all the rosy picture painted by the USA about chip manufacturing in Arizona, China can easily take care of them by cutting off rare earth minerals essential for chip production. Right now, Arizona does not even have the supply chains necessary for making chips and TSMC is reported to be shipping chemicals and even super pure water from Taiwan to Arizona to keep its chip production moving. Just imagine the costs involved and what those chips are going to cost. What markets are they looking at? Enough said.

Musing of an average Singaporean

Just think of the hassles now of having children.

From childcare to the kindergarten and then to primary schools where the parents had to do their unpleasant things just for the sake of getting their children to choices of their own and get penalised and even jailed for them.

Then the exams wow PSLE. Our time already chiak lat.

Have to lie up for passes for the children to listen to some lecturers or tutors on how to do well in the Imperial Exams.

Went to several big Bookshops and other stationery shops to get Ten Years Series for them to mark and study.

Okay managed to advance to Secondary Schools so what's!

NOT really the Elites ones where the Creams of our Connected Elites are all in league to take care of their own.

What's nonsense Alumni and preferences for their own!

Just like the Castes System of India.

They Brahmins the rest Dailits.

Then okay if children capable enough to further to Polys and Unis so what!

What's meritocratic based on the capables! BS it's Connections!

Many capable ones still doing menial jobs due to their Dailts class.

Those lower incomes ones the school transport fares already can kill you.

Have to eat a packet of $3.00 nasi lemak with a piece of ikan kuning for the sake of their children.

For drink just tap water.

When you lived up to the Seventies now you see the whole wide world of BS equality and fairness.

That's why so many Smart ones now preferred to be singles than look for unnecessary troubles and problems.

Nowadays young grandparents don't want to take care of their own grandchildren unlike our forefathers and mothers time.

Now too much electrocuted, oops Educated and had lives to enjoy on their own. Many had not enough monies as bled by the young generation and helped by the Government in having their meagre dirt cheap properties been sold by the millions and brought by the NEW POOR generation

Also if married if you are lucky have Good and understanding in laws.

If have those like Dotard Trump and their alike you are dead meats

Endless quarrels and tortures.

That's why my two children are SINGLE to my relief.

China is coming, to conquer America?

 This is the American lie that is being spread to create fear among the Americans, like a similar lie that the Russians are going to run across Europe, to conquer Europe. The hillbillies may believe in this lie. The Anglophiles across the world also believe in this lie and build up a fear and hatred for China and Chinese. Historically, the Chinese had never cause harm to any western nation states. The American elites, the Empire believers, may think or believe that the Chinese are like them, always thinking of building empires, to conquer, control and rule the world, by suppressing other races or civilisations. This may be the thinking of the white men, the former colonialists and empire builders. But the Chinese did not have such a DNA. Conquering and dominating over other countries were never in the history of the Chinese Civilisation.

If China is a conquering race, China could have built a bigger and more expansive empire than the West when they were the richest and strongest country in the world. China did not but instead choose to be an agrarian society. Military traits were never revel by the Chinese people which resulted in China becoming a weak state militarily and easily conquered by smaller neighbouring martial tribes like the Mongols and the Qing and almost conquered by Japan. The hundred years of humiliation and two hundred years of oppression and suffering under foreign invasion and occupation have taught the Chinese that being civilised and cultured, in arts and literature, is a very dangerous state of existence without military power to protect themselves. China is rebuilding itself today, militarily and economically, not for conquest and empire building like the West, but for rejuvenation and prosperity for its own people, to live a better life in peace, security and harmony with the world. No more barbarians to invade China freely.

If China harbours the ambition of empires and dominating over the world, the countries that would fall victims to China would be its immediate neighbours like those in Central Asia and Southeast Asia. None of these countries have been attacked and colonised by China and are happily coexisting and trading with China. Why would China think of sailing across the Pacific Ocean or across central Asia to conquer America and Europe? Even Russia does not have to and does not need to with its overwhelming land mass that it cannot even make full use of its potential.

Only the western European tribes have this mindset of conquering countries and lands and controlling and ruling over other civilisations. The white men should not fool their people and the people of the world that China or Russia are about to conquer America or Europe. It is the white men that are still harbouring this savage ambition to want to conquer and rule the world.

Today's world is totally different from the primitive, disunited and underdeveloped world of the colonial days. No country can conquer any country and rule over them anymore. They could do it for a while, temporarily but not for long. The indigenous population would not allow it, would rise to fight for their freedom and independence. And there will be foreign powers that would come to their aid to fight the invaders and oppressors.

The Chinese are too smart for that, after learning and studying the empires for years. Only the daft in the capitals of America and the West are still thinking they could relive their empire and colonial days, by exploiting the world for their own benefits and high living at the expenses of others.

China is not coming to conquer America. This is a sick lie good enough to fool the braindead hillbillies and rednecks and the silly Anglophiles that think they are whites, and the world should be ruled by white men. The Russians too do not need to conquer Europe to live well. Conquering Europe or America is inviting self destructions or unending warfare for decades and would end in defeat.

The world needs peace and economic prosperity through cooperation and peaceful coexistence, not more lies and more wars, more terrorism, more invasion and coercion by big evil terrorist states like the America and the West. The devils must not spread lies to demonise the innocent and use them to justify their evil ways, to dominate and control the world to do their bidding.

Trump and his gangsters are amassing big military forces to invade and conquer Venezuela while helping the Israelis to conquer the Middle East. Temporarily they are holding back and having second thoughts on conquering Russia, knowing that their plans have failed. Russia is too strong to be taken over. The Americans and the Europeans want to conquer and take over Russia, not Russia wanting to conquer Europe. They also want to take over China, not China wants to conquer America or Europe.

Why Xi wants to help Trump who is out to kill China?

About the aid to Argentina, it is all part of Trump's 'Art of the Deal', that only Trump knows how it operates. Besides bankrupting USA, Trump is about to bankrupt Argentina - his seventh and eighth bankruptcy to be added to his feathered cap.

Yet, the other clowns in his administration are urging him on, cheering him to push the USA over edge of the cliff. Instead of advising him and correcting him to take the correct path, they are just fawning and massaging his ego right in front of him to garner loyalty points.

Manufacturing is not moving into the USA when tariffs are making raw materials like steel and aluminum too expensive for making things inside the USA to be meaningfully competitive. Job creation is not what is as reported but just a mirage that is soon to disappear months down the road. We now know job creation is a gas balloon being blown up into grotesque proportions for boasting purposes. Other countries are not paying the tariffs and internally USA consumers are footing the bill. Tens of billions are being collected from USA consumers, not from exporters in other countries. More fun is on the cards as the USA moves nearer to the end of the year.

Trump is in desperate straits as farmers are clueless how to deal with agricultural produce like soya beans and corn that have just been harvested but lying in warehouses and silos waiting to rot instead of having been shipped out. Trump is now pressuring China to buy more, but why would China oblige when Trump is out to destroy China. Buying from Russia and Brazil is now more meaningful and caring for countries inside BRICS supporting de-dollarization. China will never let such an opportunity be hijacked by helping Trump out of his trouble. Why help a country that is not grateful for the help as during the 2008 financial crisis, and who has turned around to do China in. Only stupid countries will do that.

India will never reconcile with China

 India's relation with China is unlikely to be reconciled for a long time to come. The problem is on the side of India rather than from China. China has been throwing the olive branch to India many times but was rudely snubbed by India. India's border problems with China cannot be resolved as the premises for India's claim, based on lines drawn by the British during the height of British colonialism cannot and will not be acceptable to China. When China did not agree to British annexation by force, there is no reason for China to allow India to claim Chinese lands that were taken by the British. Period. But India is intransigent, thinking and behaving as if India is the inheritance of the British Empire and what the British seized now belongs to India. India is another big empire, the Bharat Empire. And India will take what it wants or what it claims according to India's interpretation of things. In other words, India's rules of law.

India also suffered from this inferior or superior complex over China. While China is clinging to its developing status, while the Americans wanted China to rescind this as an unfair advantage, that China must revert itself to the status of a developed state, India cannot stomach China as a developed nation while India is struggling in the third world. India is still sneering and wanting to believe that China is a developing nation, worse off than India. Indian cities are much better than China in everything, even in high speed trains and aircraft carriers and 5th gen fighters. India's 5th gen fighter is still on the drawing board. China is flying 6th gen fighters and bombers every day, but India's 5th gen fighter will destroy China's 6th fighters.

To India, China is a developing state just like India, and ranking about 50 in per capita count, speaking and sneering China for that, ignoring its own ranking in per capita count, probably right at the bottom of the ladder., poorer than many African states, definitely lower than Bangladesh. To India, it is all about national pride, that India cannot be a loser to China. India is better than China, must be better than China.  India is the empire to rule Asia, not China.

India arrogantly dismissed China as a country without friends, as if India has a lot of friends. How many of India's neighbours can be called India's friends? How many of China's neighbours can be called China's friends? In many instances, India rudely told China that it is not a friend of China. This is how arrogant and unfriendly are the Indians to China. And silly Chinese leaders still trying their best to appease India, wanting to curry favour of Indian leaders. Why would a world superpower want to tolerate the arrogance of a toddy intoxicated Mickey Mouse?

China should stop trying to appease India, thinking that India can become China's friend. Even after being slapped and kicked around by Trump, India is hoping against all hopes to be on good terms again with the Americans so that it can turn hostile to China again. China should give up all delusions that India can be a friend. The earlier the better.

It would be better for China to ignore India completely, even stop trading with India. China does not need India's trade and can trade with the rest of world. Just keep India at a distance. India wants to buy Chinese products, sell them, COD. Nothing less. There is absolutely no reason for China to want to invest in India and be robbed bankrupt. Period. India without China trade would fall deeper into the abyss. Can't imagine what kind of trade India will have without China supplying all the raw material and components and all the cheap consumer goods. Can't imagine what kind of mobile phones would the Indians be using if Chinese companies stop selling mobile phones to India, no Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo etc etc. What would happen if China stopped selling EV cars and buses to India?

Would the Indians be queuing up to buy Apple phones, buy Mercedes and BMWs? They cannot even afford Toyotas or Hondas. How are India's manufacturing and assembly plants going to run without inputs from China? Despite the overdependence and reliance on China, India expects China to continue to sell to India while India takes the stand that China is enemy and would not want to reconcile with China and would not give up its claims on Chinese lands stolen by the Brits which India thinks it has automatic rights to inheritance of British stolen assets.

Some countries can be won over as friends of China. Even America can be won over despite the huge number of hillbillies and white supremacists and racists. There are enough reasonable and clear thinking Americans that would come around to accept that a compromise for peaceful coexistence with China is the lesser evil. As far as India is concerned, the stubbornness, arrogance and deeply rooted hatred for China, especially after the 1962 War cannot be erased from the Indian memory. After failing to steal Chinese land by invasion, the official India narrative was rewritten to blame China for the invasion, just like Operation Sindoor.

India's pompousness in challenging China, parroting the American vicious lie, can China be trusted? China should simply ask India the same question, can India be trusted? More than 150 nations are China's top trading partners. What does it say about trust? How many nations are India's top trading partners? Even Trump, supposedly India's good friend, did not trust India. How many countries are investing billions and billions in China instead of India? If these countries or companies did not trust China, they would not throw good money into China. How many companies are pulling out of India after investing in India? Don't they trust their monies in India anymore?

Operation Sindoor is India's way of telling the world that it cannot be trusted. It was caught red handed, as good as with its pants down, when so many aircraft were shot down by Pakistan, but India audaciously said no, that it was the one that shot down several Pakistan aircraft to the bewilderment of the world. How to trust India when they lied in front of the world when the evidence is all there for the whole world to see, when the Americans, French and the West all called India's bluff?

It is like two persons inside a lift, an Indian and another. Then one farted. The other person knew very well that he didn't. But the Indian swears that he did not, not me, not me.

When the shit hits the fan, the USA needs China more than what China needs from the USA

USA tried to bully China in many areas, but what is the result?

Trump wanted to start a trade war with China, and he got it. China retaliated by ditching USA soya beans and corn and buying from other sources, giving countries like Brazil and Russia more business within BRICS and helping with de-dollarization, killing two birds with one stone. Now, Scott Bessant is almost in tears accusing China of using agriculture to hold USA farmers hostage. Is he really serious? What about the USA holding China hostage over high-end chips and technology? Who started the trade war and now who is suffering the consequences? Why is Scott Bessant whining about farmers being held hostage while the USA is doing exactly the same thing to China in chips.

Now, trade between China and the USA has dropped significantly due to the tariffs. China now has no qualms about decoupling from the USA, while the USA is now caught in its own trap. China already warned it is ready for any war with the USA. Is Scott Bessant going to blame China for the drop in trade between the two countries? Who started the tariff nonsense? Now, who is suffering the consequences?

USA consumers and retailers need Chinese products for the end of year festive season and has difficulty sourcing for similar products elsewhere. China has little problem with imports from the USA that it can't buy from elsewhere like energy from Russia and Iran and is thus not too worried about the declining two- way trade.

When the shit hits the fan, the USA needs China more than what China needs from the USA. This has been proclaimed loud and clear by the desperation shown by Scott Bessant regarding the plight of USA farmers. But, too bad, the Chinese market is gone for them forever.

Parallel system to bypass American sanctions

  BRICS and the SCO have been working feverishly to come up with alternative systems to run parallel to the existing American and western controlled world order. Dedollarisation, alternative financial systems, trading systems, Global position system, telecommunication system, even systems to replace Google, Facebook, Android, etc etc. The rest of the world needs to be free from the domination and oppression of the Americans and the West. As it is today, the Americans are holding the world in ransom with threats, sanctions, embargoes, military interventions and wars. Be American doggies or else....

The earlier BRICS and SCO can come up with these parallel systems, the earlier the rest of the world can be free from American bullying and oppression. Many systems are now in operation and working fine and would soon replace what the Americans and the West have put in place. It is not easy to walk away from the current world order as the Americans are going to play rough. Trump has renamed his Defence Ministry as a Department of War, sending a clear message that war is coming from the Americans. The first victim is likely to be Venezuela. Russia and China are watching closely to defend Venezuela and words and diplomacy would come up short if the Americans decided to invade Venezuela.

The military display by China in Victory Day would mean nothing if China is not ready to play its part, to face up to the Americans militarily.  Venezuela may be a bridge too far for China. The logistics and supply chains are strongly against China.

Other than a military confrontation with the Americans, with the Americans still having a lot of advantages, other means of breaking free from the American hegemony are safer alternatives. The Americans could bully and threaten the world by sanctions and the weaponisation of the dollar and the financial system. These are only effective if countries have to trade with the Americans and fear sanctions and being cut off from the dollar and financial system.

While parallel systems by BRICS and SCO could be options, countries can also create parallel systems or find ways to by pass the American threat. Stopping trade and not using the dollar are ways to go. Countries can also set up companies specifically to trade with each other, trade on goods and products banned by the Americans. Let the Americans ban these companies for all they want while others can keep safe by not giving the Americans a reason to ban or sanction them. Yes, parallel list of companies  to trade in a parallel system on prohibited or banned products and items can exist side by side with the rest. Caveat, silly governments must not yield to American pressure to arrest operators of these parallel companies. At worst, let them cease operation and operate under new companies with new names and on and on. Let the Americans go on a wild goose chase. Just close one eye like what the Americans are doing to their own banks involved in money laundering big time.

Learn from the treacherous and hypocritical Americans. The CIA is a good example of an organisation operating parallel from the legal system, untouchable by law, with the Americans not wanting to know what they are doing. Nothing seen, nothing heard, so never mind. Never exist, no crimes.

The good life turning Singaporeans soft...rugged society?

 Commentary: The race to stack internships is hurting young people

The push to take up internships at a young age pressures teens into working before they even know themselves, says CNA's Izza Haziqah.

SINGAPORE: “How many internships did you do?” That was one of the first questions a student from my alma mater asked me when we met at a recent book club.

When I replied, “Just one, in university,” his eyes widened.

He had already completed two internships even before starting his second year, and he still felt like he was falling behind.

This kind of pressure is increasingly common among young people in Singapore amid anxieties about employability. CNA

Our young are so poor things. They need more sayang sayang for being forced to work at such tender age. Why pushed them so hard? Why not let them enjoy their lives, enjoy K pops, J pops, more clubbings, more vapings?

A few decades ago there was a rugged society campaign. Now it is lost in the memories of the senior citizens. In the 1950s, things were quite different. Everyday, mothers, grandmothers and children as young as 6 or 7 years would go out in tow, like going for a picnic, but actually stomping into factories to sieve coffee beans. The whole family would sit around a mat and the mothers or grandmothers would cart a bag of coffee beans to be sorted out. Every member of the family would be busy picking out the spoilt beans, debris from the piles of coffee beans. When fully sorted out, the family would be paid a dollar or two for each bag of clean and good beans. That was life in the 1950s.

Children that did not do well in primary schools, or did not like studies were not a problem. The parents would send them to the kopitiams to serve kopis to feed themselves, a big relief to the family. And some would end up carrying a piece of bamboo and stick, walking around the kampong, hitting the bamboo, tok tik tok, tok tik tok, in search of customers to buy a bowl of noodles. They will carry the bowl of noodles to the customers in their homes, for 20c a bowl. The young boys, probably pre teens or in their early teens, would get a few dollars a month for their effort or jobs. No body complained about child labour and life being tough for the young boys.

For those that were more able, finishing Senior Cambridge was the final hurdle to start job hunting to supplement the family's income. At 16 or 17, many would take on the burden to upkeep the family and looking after their younger siblings. What internship? Getting a job was like striking lottery.

The plight of today's young, to be forced into internship, is a luxury that pioneering generation Singaporeans did not have and would not complain about. To the pioneering generations, getting a job, any job, after Senior Cambridge, ie O level, was a big achievement, a big step in life to shoulder more responsibilities.

The strawberry generation never had it so good. Are they complaining or are their parents complaining that life is too harsh for them?

Trump making deals with himself

When Trump talks about days from a deal, better write them off as hearsay he got from some imaginary character in his demented mind during his sleep the night before, nothing else.
When has Trump ever did things on schedule as gloated, always having extensions made over and over, corrections made later over and over, new terms added or removed over and over, sometimes one step forward and two steps back. USA citizens called him TACO for a good reason.

Trump is always just talking to himself, making deals with himself. All over social media, the talk is that Trump has been made a fool of by Putin and Xi, manhandled by Netanyahu, and yet he thinks he has the upper hand. Those on the upper hand do not show any desperation for a meeting with his opponents but just wait for opponents to reach out to him. Does Trump's behavior show he is on the upper hand?

Now, even South Korea is not bending over under Trump's threat of paying the US$350 billion investment upfront. South Korean workers who were arrested like criminals by ICE are not even interested in returning to work on the Hyundai plant.

Trump is so stupid that he is not even aware that he is the butt of insults delivered by Lee Jae-myung in the Oval Office earlier, who asked Trump if he is going to build a Trump Tower and casino in North Korea when the time comes to talk to Kim Jung Un. Everyone saw the insult, except Trump and his sycophants.

Byte Dance is not selling the whole global reach of Tik Tok, only the USA operation. This is just to disable Tik Tok dispensing information about the genocides in Gaza that USA citizens are being cut off. This is one area that Israel wants to censor, as it is instrumental to its continued support by the USA Congress.

Ironically, USA is giving US$20 billion aid to Argentina when it is facing shutdown right now. The question is how Argentina is going to repay that loan, knowing that it is even unable to service its IMF loan taken ages ago. It is no more than throwing borrowed money after equally bad money.

Trump claims China is selling Tik Tok to US for a song at just 14 Billion Dollars.

US claims China is selling TikTok to US for a song at just 14 Billion Dollars while Wall Street assess it as worth over $US400 Billion in market value

Why is China selling Tik Tok to United States for a song at iust 14 billion dollars as Trump claims while Wall Street assess it as worth more than 400 Billion Dollars in market value.

It's too good to be true, Only fools will believe that. Anyway. Tik Tok is not for Sale. China and all Chinese people will not allow that to happen. President Xi Jing Ping must be a moron to suddenly allow US to grab Tik Tok almost for free and thus be cursed by all chinese for generations to come. No, President Xi Jing Ping is smarter and wiser than the neurotic Trump and Americans think. Tik Tok is the pride, the darling and the spirit of the proud Chinese nation and all Chinese people. So China will definitely not sell Tik Tok to outsiders and less so to psychopath Anglo-Saxon United States.

If Tik Tok falls into US hands it will just use it as another weapon to control and enslave the whole world. The US government is a savage duopoly dictatorship controlled by the oligarchy Deep State of Wall Street business and commercial tycoons and their partners in the Pentagon Military Industrial Com[lex. So as can be seen US is not a free country.

The US government is barbaric, wild and bellicose. It is a buccanic piratical dictatorial state with extremely hawkish bellicose governance. It is the most untrustworthy and most unreliable authoritarian state and can never be trusted in any dealings or agreements both verbal or written.

Therefore it can be sure China will not be trapped to sell Tik Tok to the warmongering hawks of the United States.

Trump has forcefully forced China to sell TikTok to America?

 If this is true, we can expect Xi to extract something of equivalent value from Trump in exchange. So far nothing of sort has been mentioned, like a one way victory for Trump, if he is believeable. Is this another unequal treaty in the 21st Century on China?

Even if this is true, that Chinaman always lose, always gave in to the Americans, would Trump be nice enough to reciprocate and give something in return or be nicer to China?  Not at all. The White House is gloating about how China was forced into selling TikTok. Not only that, the attack and war to bring down China continues in greater pace. Trump is hammering China with more tariffs.

Trump is forcing 27 European countries to levy 100% tariffs on Chinese goods as a punishment for buying Russia oil. Can you beat that? And Trump is expecting Xi not to do anything otherwise and continue to let Trump have TikTok? What else after this, more pressure, coercion and tariffs against China, more attack on China with TikTok in his pocket and smiling broadly, dancing on stage to show the Americans and the whole world that this is how he dealt with China, by force, and China crumbled with no resistance.

Actually, this is a case of too good to be true. Now matter how callous and dumb Trump is, he cannot rub it in on Xi when the deal is not even signed. And every stupid American, Trump included, is familiar with how important face is to China, and Xi. Getting a good bargain by force is bad enough, and to make Xi lose face in front of the Chinese and the world, and to continue to launch more attacks against China must break something for sure. Xi cannot look weak to the Americans and the world. Xi can give away TikTok as a generous gesture but NOT to give it away because he was forced or threatened by Trump.

What do you think? Is lunatic Trump in his usual self again, talking nonsense and spreading lies again?

The meeting in South Korea is likely to be off. China has cancelled all his room reservations. Trump can hope to travel to the DMZ to meet up with Kim instead, if Kim bothers to meet him.

Anwar's misstep in inviting Trump to Asean Summit

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has defended his move to invite United States President Donald Trump to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in October, after former leader Mahathir Mohamad urged the government to withdraw the invitation over Washington’s support for Israel’s actions against the Palestinians.

In a video message posted on social media on Saturday (Sep 27), Mahathir said the US continues to supply Israel with funds, weapons and military assistance “to perpetuate the killings of Palestinians”.

He called on Anwar to revoke the ASEAN Summit invitation to Trump, saying the US president has “openly supported and enabled the crimes against humanity currently inflicted by Israel upon the Palestinian people”.  CNA

In this issue, Mahathir is absolutely right. Trump is the murderer of the Palestinians, more than 65,000 of them and counting. But Mahathir still stop short of calling out Trump. Without Trump's approval and unconditional support of Israel in funds, political support, vetos in the UN and unlimited supply of bombs and weapons, the Israelis would not be able to continue with the genocide. The whole world would have descended on Israel. It is Trump, the mass murderer of Palestinians that is in the way to prevent it.

The world is still living in fear of Trump. No one dares to call out Trump as the mastermind, the murderer of Palestinians. Many fools still crawled to Washington to dine with Trump, to take photo ops with Trump. Can you believe that?

Anwar should rescind his position and stop Trump from coming. Trump even approved barring Palestinian leaders from attending the UN assembly on Palestine and Palestinians. Trump's visit to Malaysia and Asean is like inviting and honouring the world's number one mass murderer. This is base.

All the excuses by Anwar to defend the visit of Trump is lame and contrived, unacceptable. What economic interests, what honour to have Trump, a murderer of Muslim Palestinians in Malaysia? The mass murderer of Palestinians should not receive any recognition or honour. Only the white countries would honour Trump for genociding the Palestinians and may even glorify him with a Nobel Peace Prize, under white men's rules based order.

Malaysia is not a white country and should not play by the white men's rules. Trump is the mass murderer of more than 65,000 Palestinians, some said the numbers could be more than 200,000. This is no peanuts. Trump must be called out, prosecuted in the ICC or ICJ for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Any Muslim leader dares to call out Trump as the murderer of Palestinians?

Misfits, fatsos in military and police, and Trump that evaded Vietnam War

 Now Trump and Hegseth are dismantling the USA military, criticizing those military leaders for being fat and bearded. The 'Commander in Mischief' and his sidekick are creating division within the rank and file of the military establishment. Trump is not even qualified to talk about the military, having never served in the military at all, using his bone spurs excuse to avoid military service.

Apart from the issue of fat military generals, have anyone ever wonder when looking at USA law enforcement officers, why they are mostly fatties and out of shape. The only thing is that they are able to overcome law breakers using their size, their advantage of numbers and the weapons they hold. I think in terms of chasing law breakers, they would not be able to keep up. Oh, forget about the movies showing them running long distances. That is all a mirage created for entertainment. Hollywood is all about the good overcoming the bad.

Back to the fat Generals. I just wonder how the Generals will take such criticism from someone without military experience and another misfit holding the title of 'Secretary of War'. Calling it 'War' instead of 'Defense' probably makes the misfit swell-headed that he is given the mandate to criticize those Generals.

Trump's 20 point proposal for ending genocide in Gaza

 The peace plan for Gaza is drawn out by the occupation forces of Israel and America, not by the UN. This is the norm since the colonisation of the world by the West. They write the rules and dictate the terms and conditions. The victims of aggression, the losers, just have to accept what the winners demanded.  Trump made it clear that he would support the genocide if Hamas does not accept the proposals. The Chinese called these unequal treaties. The white men think these are fair for the losers, backed by their superior military might. Losers just have to lap it up or else. The Arabs and Muslims have no choice, neither would the Palestinians. This is white men called fairness, justice and generosity.

Would the proposals be different if UN is involved? One thing is very clear, no state of Palestine. Some loose words and phrases were used with vague reference to the wishes of the Palestine but nothing concrete, and the process can take another 80 years or more for the Palestinians to remain in a state of limbo. The best that can come out of this proposal is an aquarium for the Palestinians to swim around, guarded by the Americans and Israelis till kingdom comes. The prison without walls would be redefined by the Americans and the Israelis, and the Palestinians would at best be the fishes in it, forever and ever.

Would the Palestinians agree to go on for another 80 years of deceit by the Americans and the Israelis? The last 80 years not good enough to show the insincerity of the Americans and the Israelis? Their lives only got worse by the day under the American and Israeli occupation rule.

Would the rest of the Arab and Muslim world and the rest of world or the UN have anything to say about the fate of the Palestinians? Under the American gangster rules based order, the Americans decide everything for the losers. 

While this may drag on for more months, the Palestinians would continue to die of starvation and diseases, and the genocide will continue. Maybe there will be no Palestinians left or few left when they decided to call off the negotiation to finish the job they were trying to do, completely wipe out the Palestinians from their homeland.

The Americans are such nice and fair people. They are bringing justice to the Palestinians. Trump is a man of peace?

A world where white men are the good guys, do no wrong

If they have not realized yet, they should at least think about it and ask why? Qatar was an example of that. And most importantly, Qatar and Israel are both allies of the USA, but when it comes to who is more important not to use the kill switch, Qatar just became the sitting duck for Israel. If the USA can do that to allies, what about enemies?

Now, let us also talk about the issue of spying by the USA on Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron, caught red handed years ago. If the USA is doing that to close allies, what about against leaders of enemies like Russia, China and Iran? Does it ever make people wonder hod Israel knew the movements of Iranian leaders to be assassinated? Or how did Israel know where those Hamas leaders were meeting in Doha that they attempted to assassinate.

It is obvious that the USA and Israel are spying vis traitors they cultivated inside countries, which is why even Kim Jong Un needs to travel in a protective armored train of many carriages to attend the Victory Day Parade in Beijing.

Putin is also aware of threats to his life and never travels outside Russia other than to China and North Korea.

USA does not need enemies with Trump and his morons doing the destruction

Actually, the USA does not need enemies with Trump and his morons doing the destruction. The USA Dream has already ended long ago, and the USA nightmare is just beginning.

USA farmers thought they were betting on the winning horse by supporting Trump. Now, the reality has hit them like a bolt of lightning, and many are already bankrupt arising from Trump's trade war against China. Crying is too late and doing something is almost out of the question with Trump moving Home Guards and troops into cities. USA's dictatorship days are coming to fruition.

USA consumers thought that Trump will make life easier for them with his tariffs, little realizing that they are paying the price. Now, the shit has hit the fan, but it is no use crying. Trump is not going to help them, even denying that price increases are not happening and is a hoax. Egg prices continue to remain high despite his pre-election promise to bring them down. His answer today: once price rises, it is difficult to bring them down. Trust the conman at your own peril.
