Thai Cambodian border clash. Who is the provocateur? Who is the beneficiary?

 ASEAN has enjoyed more than 50 years of peace after the French and Americans fled from Vietnam. This peace is not easy to maintain with the white savages trying to start another war to destabilise the region. Mickey Marcos has been in the forefront aiding the Americans to start a war in the South China Sea. China has to exercise great restraint and endured the silly provocation of this Mickey Mouse to avoid an open conflict. But China's patience is wearing thin as the provocations get more serious with the Mickey Mouse allowing the American terrorists to deployed nuclear missiles in their islands to target China.

Now the unexpected has happened. The temple dispute between Thailand and Cambodia was settled in  1962 when the UN passed judgement that it belonged to Cambodia. Since then the Thais had been unhappy about this and occasionally raised the issue with small skirmishes between the border police. This time it blew up into open conflict with deaths on both sides. Now artillery and fighter bombers are being used and the conflict is escalating into an open war.

Who is the real culprit behind this escalation? The Thais or the Cambodians? A better way to understand the real troublemaker is to ask, who is the beneficiary of this conflict or who would want to see the Thais and Cambodians fighting in an open war, and destroying the peace in SE Asia?

Some Asean people are easily bribed by provocateurs to want to go to war for personal benefits instead of the interests of the nation and people. The Thai and Cambodian people must not be misled and easily aroused to go against each other and create another Ukraine in the region. War is only good for the warmongering tribes, the savages. Asean people should be sensible and remain calm in the face of such provocation and not become pawns of foreign powers.

In such a war, the people that died would be Thais and Cambodians. Their economy and lives would be adversedly affected while the mastermind would be laughing from afar and would come in to offer arms for sale to profit from the war.

Stop being silly and go back to the negotiating table and talk. ASEAN now has something to be busy about, something to meddle with other than the internal affairs of Myanmar. This is a matter that ASEAN must take an active role to avoid a war between its members.

The rise and rise of Muslim states

 Shakespeare wrote, some were born great, some achieved greatness, some have greatness thrusted upon them. For centuries, after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the last Muslim Empire, the Muslim states were totally under the control of the western powers. They were divided up and ruled, manipulated to distrust each other and to fight each other endlessly. Their cultural and religious differences were exploited to the full by the western powers to sow enmity and suspicion among the Muslim and Arab states. QED. Some Middle Eastern Arab and Muslim states may be rich with oil, but they were never independent, never allowed to be independent, to be free. They were captive states of the western powers, made to do the bidding of the West, made to support the western powers to fight their brothers and sisters. No Arab and Muslim state could call itself a regional power. They just exist under the grace and mercy of the western powers.

The Americans and the western powers destroyed the Arab and Muslim states in many wars. Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Iran etc etc were attacked and weakened periodically, never the rich and powerful states they once were. No more Egyptian Empire, no more Persian Empire, no more Ottoman Empire. The Muslim world was no better than the African states.

Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear power was temporarily tolerated and could be taken out anytime, by the Americans, the Israelis and India. No Muslim state must be allowed to become a nuclear power. This is the white men's world order. Then came Operation Sindoor. India thought it was now the military superpower in South Asia with the acquisition of Europe's best fighter aircraft, the Rafales. India believed that the Rafales could take down all Chinese aircraft. The Chinese aircraft were simply no match to the best European aircraft, the Rafales according to western narratives.

The first mission was to take down Pakistan, now considered a much weaker country militarily with not the best Chinese aircraft. Taking down Pakistan was a piece of cake. And the Americans and Israelis were all behind India, to get rid of Pakistan's nuclear capability, the Muslim nuclear threat. A false flag incident was cooked with a so called terrorist attack in Kashmir. India insisted that it was Pakistan behind it and would not listen to any explanation, and launched an attack they thought would be a sure win, and with the Americans and Israelis fully behind India, providing military and logistic support, plus GPS.

Pakistan did not think it could win a war with the Indians. It was a much smaller country and smaller in everything else. Pakistan did not want this war. It was not ready for it. It was India, the Americans and Israel that wanted this war. The war was thrusted upon an unwilling Pakistan and all factors pointing to a Pakistan defeat. Never would the Indians, Americans and Israelis believe that the weapon systems provided by China were actually more superior and effective than anything the Indians have. The rest is history.

Pakistan gave India a big thrashing without losing an aircraft or a pilot. The defeat of the Indian Air Force was humiliating. The delusion that India was then the most powerful air force in the region, air superiority, with world best fighters to control the sky, went up in smokes. Pakistan announced a 6-0 victory over the Indian Air Force. Some sources said it was 9-0. In a short 4 day war, Pakistan is now recognised as a formidable regional power, capable of taming the IAF without sweating the small stuff. Pakistan is a Muslim state that could defeat a non Muslim power, the superpower of the future, India.

This victory was followed by Iran's destruction of Israel with super accurate hypersonic missiles, rockets and drones. This is unbelieveable. No one think it was possible. Israel is the invincible super regional power in the Middle East, ruling and bullying all the Arab and Muslim states. The name Israel sends fears to all the Arab and Muslim leaders. Israel only talked about attacking this or that Arab or Muslim state knowing that none would dare to hit back. Israel only assassinates and kills Arab and Muslim leaders and none would fight back. Iran not only hit back, but with deadly force, destroying many Israeli cities and their military facilities. How bad was the damage, only the Israelis know, and they called for an immediate ceasefire. Only losers called for ceasefire. 

The whole world saw the collapse of the Israeli myth of invincibility. The whole world saw what Iran is capable off, fighting Israel and the Americans and still standing. The Americans and Israelis must be planning and rethinking how to attack Iran again. But they know it is not that easy. China and Russia would not allow Iran to fall. Period.

Then there are the little but mighty Houthis taking on the world's number one terrorist state, the USA, attacking their carrier strike group and keeping them away from the Middle East, unable to transit the Strait of Bab el Mandeb. A group of slipper wearing freedom fighters could take control over a strait and the Americans could not do anything about it. This is really David against Goliath. The Houthis or Yemenis have risen as a regional power, a formidable Muslim force to take on the Americans.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are bidding their time quietly on the sideline, stocking up all the necessary weapons needed for a war against the Israelis and the western powers, a war that will come, sooner or later. The Americans and the West did not see this coming, that the Arab and Muslim states are now not pushovers and can fight back. The Arab and Muslim states would only grow stronger by the day, and with China and Russia fully behind them, to provide them with real weapons, superior weapons they need to fight and win a war against the Americans and Israelis. 

No longer would they be forced to buy substandard or downgraded weapons from the Americans and the West to fight a losing war against the Americans and Israel. They will have the best weapons, real weapons, to fight and win. The Arab and Muslim leaders are not stupid to want to continue to be bullied and duped by the Americans and the West into buying weapons that are inferior, and aircraft that can be switched off in midair. No more humiliating 6 Day War, Yom Kippur etc etc. The next Arab and Muslim war against the Americans and Israelis would be fought fairly with real weapons and not toy guns that the Americans sold to them.

Pakistan, Iran and the Houthis have proven that they can win wars against the Americans, Israelis and the West. They are not to be taken for granted.

Trump is merciless against India and Japan

India folds under tariff negotiations with the USA, no matter how Trump wants to sell his snake oil and Modi wants to rub those snake oil on his body. Now India has to buy more Boeing planes and rice from the USA. India is already the world's second biggest grower of rice and is exporting rice itself. What is in it for Indian rice farmers? Waiting for death is the probable consequence.

The USA agricultural sector is dying right before our eyes and Trump is using those tariff negotiations to force other countries to buy more of USA beef, wheat, rice, soya beans and corn. These are all genetically modified food crops that the EU tried to avoid and is now being dumped into countries like India and Japan.

Japan too folded as expected, as Japan has to depend on the USA market for its motor vehicle exports, with tariffs set at 15% on Japanese vehicles entering the USA market. Japan now has to open up its rice market to the USA, to help the USA agricultural sector now entering a death spiral. Even though PM Shigeru Ishiba claims no quarters have been given, but that must be a joke with 15% tariffs on its cars and being forced to open up its rice market, Japan is in deep trouble.

Now, look at Bong Bong getting a 19% tariff deal from an earlier 20% and thinks he has done the Philippine proud. That wimp has no cards to play going to Washington, just merely to wag his tail. Should have asked Trump whether he can get his hands on his father's ill-gotten wealth now, LOL. More tail wagging might do the trick.

In other words, being allies of the USA carries no advantage when it comes to getting the wrong end of the stick.

Philippines becoming more like India, bragging about everything but unable to do anything

So many countries are now talking about their rare earth resources and how it will change the global landscape. The Philippines is currently the talk of the town with its discovery of rare earth resources inside the country. China must be rattled, right? Truth be told, rare earth raw materials are plentiful, not at all rare. What is really rare is the processing logistics needed to make them into useful elements. And who has the world's largest processing logistics for all rare earth elements? China of course and no escaping from it.

It is fruitless to talk of how much rare earth raw materials a country has under its feet when there has to be a need to build up the mining and processing logistics that will take decades to come to fruition. Even the USA needs China to do the refining for its rare earth raw materials, so what is the hullaballoo all about? All that talk about mining rare earth under the sea, on the moon and on Mars are just delusional science fiction. With rare earth in abundance in Australia, Vietnam, Mongolia among others, why go to such extreme to mine them and at what costs? Who in the end is going to refine them, which against points to China. Let us not be delusional and swallow all the propaganda that solves nothing. It all boils down to doing it from start to finish to be effective, which no country has the logistical capacity to undertake. Keep the rare earth dream going.

Inviting the American terrorists home is easy. Getting them out it NOT

This clearly shows the price that South Korea had to pay for the aid the USA extended to them to fight the North. Inviting the devil into the house is easy, getting rid of it is impossible. The devil is always looking at opportunities to get into the house on the pretext of giving help. But will refuse to leave when the job is done. South Korea is stuck with the devil in the house.

In contrast, China also helped the North Koreans to fight off the South Koreans helped by the USA. But China did not use that as an excuse to exert control over North Korea or station troops in North Korea. Similarly, China and Russia gave massive help to the North Vietnamese fighting the South Vietnamese with help from the USA and the South Koreans. Again, China did not seek to control the North Vietnamese despite all the help. This is what help means by not having to sell out the whole country. The USA would want total control of Vietnam had the war turned out differently.

Now, many countries in South Asia are wising up, preferring to ally with China rather than India. India has the mentality of the USA, expecting to exert control over any help extended to neighbors. That is why Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Nepal are more comfortable with China than India.

And the West is still trying to sell the snake oil that China is trying to expand its control over neighbors when the reverse is true.

Singapore picking a fight with China?

 Lawrence Wong led a big delegation to Beijing, spent several days there meeting up with many Chinese leaders in an effort to mend relations. The recent finger pointing at China, insinuating China hacking into Singapore's infrastructure and sensitive systems is like going back to square one. China is furious and objected to the allegations. Singapore would not do the same to the Americans or any western countries, as if the West are so innocent from hacking into Singapore.

Singapore's relations with China have not been well from the beginning. Being a British colony, it shared the colonial master's mindset and policies of anti China and anti Communism. For many years, Singaporeans were banned from visiting China at a time when many Chinese were not citizens and China was their motherland. They were Chinese citizens.

Singapore's policy towards China was largely dictated by the pro western colonial trained Anglophiles. This group was very grateful for the opportunities given to them under British rule, as British subjects, not even qualified to be citizens. They forgot that the Brits and the West invaded and looted the motherlands of their forefathers, impoverised their motherlands, and forcing them to migrate here as coolies to earn a living under very harsh conditions. If their motherlands were not invaded and destroyed by the Brits and the West, their forefathers needed not become so poor and had to eke out a living in foreign soil. The crumbs thrown at them from the Brits were loots stolen from the motherlands of their forefathers and from the island of Singapore and Malaya. What was a few dollars to a few individuals compared to the robbing of the wealth of countries? In a way, the Anglophiles were grateful to the murderers and robbers of their forefathers' motherlands.

Till today, many of the western educated Anglophiles still feel inferior to the white men and unconsciously accepted their right to rule Singapore and the world. On the other side of the political divide is the Chinese educated and some western educated elites that know their history and still proud of their culture and dignity, and believe they can be as good as the white men and can rule themselves in Singapore.

The PAP pioneer leaders were a mixed of these two groups of elites. Some of them, including Goh Keng Swee, Toh Chin Chye and LKY were English educated but felt strongly that they were able to govern Singapore without the Brits. They fought to remove the shackles of the British colonial yoke. Though their foreign policies were pro West, at a time when the West was ruling the world and writing all the rules, with the passage of time, they gravitated towards a more independent path, but still stuck under the influence of the western world.

LKY was the one that finally broke free, identifying himself more as an ethnic Chinese elite, though strongly a Singaporean. He made many trips to China to understand China, built up a special relationship with all the Chinese leaders, and invested heavily in China, contributing in no small ways to the successful new China today. Under his watch, Singapore stuck to a strong neutral position in the rivalry between USA and China. Singapore did not yield under the strong influence and coercion of the Americans to take an anti China position. In his final years, LKY was often seen proudly donning his Chinese mandarin attire, something he was proud of, without having to say a word about it. Maybe he was trying to set a new trend, that Chinese fashion is cool.

With LKY out of the scene, the struggle between the pro American and the pro China camps surfaced. You can see how they grinned from ears to ears in front of the white men, would even kiss their asses if no one is watching. The pro China camp was much weaker and could only stayed in the background, pushing quietly for a more balanced relationship with China.

Is the fight to be more pro American against a more balanced relationship with China starting to surface between the two camps? Is this the beginning of more China bashing again, to please the Americans. What is Singapore going to gain to provoke China, like what can Singapore gain in sanctioning Russia? 

Singapore is already in the bad book of the Russians. Can Singapore afford to be in the bad book of China as well? Poking at China unnecessarily to please the Americans would have consequences. China is standing up to the bullying of the Americans and the Europeans with greater confidence and resolve. Singapore would be sent flying out of the ring should China turn around and throw a punch. Singapore should avoid being another irritating Mickey Mouse in the rivalry between the Americans and China.

Lawrence Wong is going to have a tough time if China bashing is to rule the day. He is still new and who is in which camp is still not very obvious as many would choose to hide their affinities and remain ambiguous, watching the change of wind.  Hsien Loong would play the critical role in this tussle to decide which way the wind should blow. The first salvo has been fired.

Trade negotiation with the rogue regime comes with another clause...cannot trade with China and Russia. Still want to be invited to China?

USA consumers will be facing the moment of truth come August onwards. This cannot be avoided with all the tariffs hitting by August 1 deadline. China has already reduced its exports to the USA, so that takes away what is going to be available on the shelves of retailers in the USA. Trump in fact warned China not to export less to the USA in the face of those tariffs. Now, isn't it ridiculous that on the one hand Trump wants to target China's exporters, and on the other hand is wary of the consequences. What is Trump really be looking for? Free lunch?

The USA is now even trying to force China not to buy Russian and Iranian oil, with Scott Bessent threatening China openly. Trump's administration is even trying to start a new front by threatening countries, particularly the G7 and EU from doing business with China. This is the new 'Rules Base Order' edit from the celestial emperor for the humanoids in G7 and EU to follow. It must be taken as a joke.

Time for China to set up its own 'Rules Based Order' to counter the USA. A good start of that order would be - Rule #1 No Export of rare earth to any country friendly to the USA. Rule #2 Cutting off all negotiation on trade and tariffs with the USA. Rule #3 Decouple completely from the USA and stop all the nonsense. No trade with each other means no trade and tariff issues to wrangle about. Clean, fast and efficiently resolving trade and tariff problems. But, of course, the USA will invent new issues to collapse China.

The Americans could only fight and win against Red Indians with bows and arrows

 Frankly please lah the UAss only involved and fight Japan only when they are been attacked by the Japs.

That's the tactics hiding in their Grandma's long jeans and panties and bluffed bluffed act as Heros when all are over and most of the Warring Parties already half dead and "tang shiong " aka Deadly bruised and destroyed.

Even without the A Bombs that they dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki you think the Japs will surrender ah?

Maybe also not defeat the Japs.

Americunts tactics are to use foolish proxies to kill one another and then went in and and claimed victories.

Even in Real Wars, they shall use their carpets bombings until the enemies "hay hay" half dead then they go in and do some mopping up operations.

Same claimed victories. Cannot fight one.

If can, how come lost to Vietnam and Afghanistan?

They think can fight China ah!

Fat hope! Must be tired of livings with too much debts and chaos.

This Dotard would take this Best Opportunity to go to China and swagger here and there.

Back then he shall yak all sorts of nonsense again for their MidTerm Erections.

All kueh dah dah liao.

Sun Tzu - Know your enemy, know yourself, hundred battles fought, hundred battles won. Mickey Mouse cannot understand this

 This strategy of Sun Tzu is often quoted by military strategists today. Knowing one's strength and weaknesses versus the enemies is crucial to fight and win a war. Theoretically, every decent and well trained military leaders can understand this principle and would not head into a war without such considerations. In reality, many military leaders and political leaders are not that decent or well read, ie, not very smart to the point of reckless and irresponsible. 

Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and all the clowns in Washington fall into this category of not very bright. Ok, excuse Biden, he did not know what was going on and all the decisions were made for him by Blinken. The basis of Sun Tzu's strategy is very simple. If one is weak relative to the enemy, and there is no way of winning, it is better not to start a fight. However, looking around, how many clowns have ignored this strategy and went head in into a war against an enemy that they knew was way superior to them and could bash them to pieces?

Ukraine is a good example. There is not a whisker of a hope that Ukraine can come up the winner against the Russians. Caveat, the stupid Neo Nazi Ukrainian soldiers were not calling the shot. Or they believe that with the Americans and NATO behind them, they could defeat Russia. They can be excused for their ignorance and stupidity, but not the Americans, not the military leaders. They know very well that Russia would use nuclear weapons in the face of defeat. But the political clowns like Victoria Nuland was calling the shot from Europe. Now Ukraine is paying a very heavy price for it.  Oops, Nuland was just using the Ukrainians to weaken Russia, let the Ukrainians die, never mind.

But this is not the end. Europe is a region full of political clowns in every capital city, from London to Berlin, from Paris to Warsaw. They all think they can fight a war and win against Russia. They did not have the mental ability to think further than this. What's next if Russia is to lose a conventional war?

If the 'has been' European colonial powers can be that simplistic in their thinkings, one cannot blame the Mickey Mouse to think and behave like them. Did Mickey Marcos think like the European clowns? A better question, can he think, or did he bother to think? Or he is living by the day. Tomorrow is tomorrow's problem. Even Mickey Mouse New Zealand is joining the party. New Zealand is ramping up its military budget from 1% to 2% to counter their delusion of a China threat. They could not think further as usual. Even if New Zealand were to spend 100% of its GDP for defence, it is still meaningless.

Then there is Mickey Lai in Taiwan. He is buying more mines, more rifles, more antique second hand war planes from the Americans to take on China. He did not mind paying upfront without a delivery date for the weapons. The Americans know that there will be no need for the weapons, so no need to make delivery. Just collect the money upfront from this clown to make him happy. Not in his wildest wet dream is Taiwan going to be independent and to defeat China. Neither would he need to use the irrelevant and meaningless weapons he paid for.

Clowns are clowns. Mickey Mouse is no different from the clowns. How could they be able to understand Sun Tzu's military strategies?

The Great Wall of India

 China is famous for building the Great Wall of China over centuries, to ward off invading barbarians from the north. Trump is also building a Great Wall of America to ward off illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America. Trump is also building another tariff wall to fend off America from trading with the rest of the world.

A Great Wall of India is now being built, not by India, but by China around India, to keep India away from its neighbours. India used to boast about how many enemies China had with its neighbours and how many friends India had with its neighbours. Within the last ten years, India's 'friendly' neighbours have turned away from India and joined the embrace of China for protection and economic development.

Thanks to the aggressive and bullying tactics of India, and the rising military and economic clout of China, India's neighbours have found a China that can protect them from India and bring about more trade and economic development for their countries. The latest development, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh have formed a strategic alliance around India, to contain India. This alliance is likely to increase in numbers with Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Maldives as potential members. India would only be left with the canary in the cage, Bhutan, under its control, not allowed to have diplomatic relations with other countries. Even Bhutan has seen through the intimidating and dominating behaviours of the Indians and is trying to break free, to become a free sovereign state, with its own independent foreign policies.

Should Bhutan break free from India's vice grip, India would be left standing alone, without a friend among its neighbours. China would have effectively built a Great Wall of India around India, to keep it from bullying its neighbours.

India is not only losing friends in its immediate neighbourhood. Its policies of being friends and enemies of both side of the internal great power rivalry have led to mistrust of India by its friends and foes. Russia is not going to trust India anymore. Iran too would not trust India after being stabbed in the back in the recent war with Israel when India sided with Israel. The Americans and the West never trusted India and only think of using India as a pawn against China and Russia. India has to beg to be invited to the G7 meeting when it was originally left out from the invitation list. This showed where India is standing in the G7 club.

While China is building a Great Wall of India, India is also helping to build the same wall by antagonizing all its friends of convenience thinking that it can get away with playing both sides to its advantage while betraying them behind their backs. No one trust India anymore.

The American terrorists cannot lie, cheat, steal and kill against a strong China supported by the rest of the world

Just an exercise in futility even if they do meet. The mindset of going all out against China is all cast in stone in the USA playbook, whether be it under the Republicans or Democrats. It is inside the DNA of the Anglo-Saxo Whites to keep the Whites as the superior race over all others. And keeping the US$ and USA hegemonic reign is all that matters. And China is the one country left that is capable of overturning all that.

The USA can never tolerate any country rising to compete against it. Not the Japanese. Not the Germans. Not the Soviet Union. And certainly not the Chinese. Can we expect the leopard to change its spots to become another animal?

Taking down Japan and Germany were easy, as they do not have the critical mass of a market and population to carry on a battle against the mighty USA. Denial of the USA market was alone enough to snuff them out and they had to eat humble pie when stepped upon. The Soviet Union did not have the economic muscle to sustain a headlong military capacity to take on the USA. Moreover, Soviet Union was not on very good terms with China at that time. The Soviet Union had to close shop, with its satellite states breaking up to go their separate ways, leaving the Russian Federation to run the country.

Now, China is no piece of cake that the USA can take at will. China has the economic muscle, the military capacity, the population critical mass, the massive domestic market, the hunger of the people to move forward for a better life and the Chinese citizen's capacity for hard work to overcome difficult circumstances for a better future. This all work well to fulfil the dreams of Chinese leaders to move the country forward, all working in tandem.

China must never be in a position to sacrifice what it has achieved by being involved in any too good to be true agreement that may come back to destroy its future. The USA and the West are discreetly trying to set China up for dismantling like the Soviet Union. They have tried that in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.

China values STEM graduates, America values financial conmen and cheats and unproductive lawyers

Chinese leaders think differently from Western leaders. They are all encompassing in their strategy, which is how they managed to control so much of the raw materials in South American and African countries, the global market for its products and what is necessary to keep China ahead in terms of an educated workforce.
China did not just start out to control the flow of raw materials like rare earth to China. China had also to build up its industrial base to cater to them and over the decades this is exactly what happened. Now, more than that, China had to change its education system to produce more scientists and engineers to helm those industries.

While the World's University Rankings were all preoccupied with citing just research papers written in English, while ignoring those written in Chinese, by Chinese researchers and academics in top Chinese Universities, it has now been discovered that there was a treasure trove of high valued papers that have gone under the radar in compiling the ranking of top universities, especially in science and engineering. This became apparent when China started dominating in high-speed-rails, EVs, batteries, infrastructure building like bridges and dams and shipbuilding. How could China be doing all that without having a closer look at all the research papers that they were publishing in Chinese that have long been ignored by the West. But it is too little too late to stop the horses from bolting after letting the stable doors open for China to step into the competition.

The USA is now trying to correct its mistake of taking its eyes off China and concentrating on forever wars and fighting terrorism. Thirty years of much ado about nothing allowed China the time factor to catch up in many sectors. Now, in terms of patents filed, China is way ahead of the USA in many sectors. The USA is trying to scrap the bottom of the barrel for raw materials that had long been cornered by China in South America and Africa. China has set up a manufacturing and industrial chain that not even the USA can ever manage to catch up and now using overcapacity against China to cripple it. China had already set up an education system well-tailored for its continuity as factory of the world. How long will it take Trump to bring all these to fruition to counter China? China has even cornered the market in the Global South that the USA and EU has no way of competing against.

South Korea and Japan are enjoying being the colonies of USA

 South Koreans are being brainwashed and already brains dead by the Americunts that the North is going to invade and slaughter them by Kim.

As a bogeyman to divide them so they could manipulate and skinned both of them.

Past ex their Presidents who are on good terms with the North are either deposed of or assassinated.

Own kins and relatives don't want to be reunited and manipulated by the White Barbarians and Savages Americunts.

As for Japan, they are harbouring a secret revenge that hopefully some one big powerful country can topple the UAssA and they be joining in the revenge to kick the Americunts when they are down and out.

Meantime they have to pretend that they are on the UAss side

They do not want their women folks to be screwed by the Barbarians Americunts too much paranormal porn videos.

Prof Jeffrey Sach in one Summit had said that Japan, South Korea and China should actually be joined as the Asia Alliance and what's a powerful force they would be.

Discard UAssA you all no need the UAssA.

The Americunts would be KAPUT.

Jokingly he said but this shall affect me.

They should follow Sach's advice.

Ukraine War - Germany drops its veil of innocence

Ukraine should consider striking Russian airfields and weapons factories deep inside the country to alleviate pressure on the front, a senior German general has suggested.

Speaking during a Bundeswehr podcast on Saturday, Major General Christian Freuding, who oversees Germany’s military assistance to Ukraine, gave Kiev advice on weakening Russia’s offensive power.


“You can also indirectly affect the offensive potential of Russian strike forces before they are deployed,” Freuding said. “Use long-range air warfare assets to strike aircraft and airfields before they are used. Also, target weapons production facilities.” RT

I am starting to like this general, Christian Freuding. What he said about attacking Russia is not a Freudian slip. It is Germany's real intent all the while but pretending to be innocent and not involved. The position of Germany, Britain and France and several NATO countries are the same and has never changed from the start of the Ukraine War. They all want to destroy Russia. That is their real intent, their main goal.

I was getting a bit worried that the Ukraine War would end soon and the savage show would end its season. Now with what this general is saying in public, I am pleasantly assured that the Ukraine War would go on and on. Putin has been dilly dallying, undecided on what to do with Ukraine. But with the increasing aggressive attacks deep into Russia, and the European powers coming in the open to want to destroy Russia, all the doubts in Putin's mind are now put to rest. Putin would have to target the bigger devils in NATO, ie Germany, Britain and France.

'Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is “quite sad” about what he describes as waning interest in the UK in supporting Ukraine.' RT. I will assure him, not to worry, wars and killings are in their DNA.

The good news, the show would go on and on. The European savages love wars and killings. They have not changed and have not been civilised despite the years of economic success.

Trump still hoping for an invite to meet Xi. Would Xi invite an enemy President to Beijing?

US President Donald Trump could meet his Russian and Chinese counterparts, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, at an upcoming event marking the 80th anniversary of victory over imperial Japan in World War II, The Times has reported.

China has announced plans to honor the date with a military parade in Beijing in September, and Moscow has confirmed that Putin will attend.

The Soviet Union, China and the US cooperated in the fight against Japan during World War II. Both analysts and ordinary Chinese have called on Xi to “seize the opportunity,” invite Trump and host a three-way summit during the upcoming victory celebration, The Times wrote on Friday.

“Why not align Trump’s visit with the September 3 commemoration?” Renmin University of China Professor and popular Chinese opinion leader Jin Canrong told the Guancha news outlet last month. “If the leaders of China, the US, and Russia were to stand together during the military parade, it would be a great positive signal to the world,” he suggested. RT

Trump is about to go down on his knees to beg Xi to invite him to Beijing. The Americans have been sending all kinds of signals to Beijing to invite Trump, to meet up with Trump. Like in the above quotes, the Americans are selling the idea that it is good to invite scoundrel Trump to meet Xi in Beijing. However, at the same time, rogue Trump continues to attack Beijing with all kinds of sanctions, threats and bans, and with his warmongering clowns in Washington sending out signals that they are preparing to attack China, building up and deploying more weapons around China, conducting war games and provocations against China.

Why would Xi want to invite a hostile and untrustworthy rogue like Trump to Beijing? His presence in Beijing would send a stench in the Great Hall of the People, and the parade square in Tiananmen. Trump's presence would be a distasteful distraction and would tarnish the atmosphere of the Victory Parade. It would be like the Jews inviting Hitler to Tel Aviv. No one would want to see Trump in Beijing, in the company of Xi, after all the offensive things he had done to China. Though Beijing did not say it openly, Trump is enemy number one in China. How could China invite someone that is so hostile to China to a party? No respectful world leaders would like to be seen in the company of this convicted felon. He really smells.

Trump's presence in China would be the most offensive signal that China is appeasing Trump and willing to be kicked around and bullied by the Americans and still kissing the ass of Trump. The best sign of what is happening is China's total silence on this meeting while Trump has been screaming day in and day out, I want to meet Xi, my best friend. Has Xi ever called this rogue his friend, let alone his best friend?

Xi must never, never meet a scoundrel that does not respect protocol, that is lawless, unpredictable and disgraceful. Trump's right place is in the dungeon of Alcatraz and be forgotten.

Trump and his clowns enjoying their feel good musings

Trump and his administration of clowns are just clutching at straws to keep their feel-good musings alive. All their claims are basically based on thin air, the same as their printing of fiat money from thin air.

There is a believe that the Iranians are trying to give the USA the impression that the USA did destroy the three nuclear sites, in order not to invite further bombing. I think this is a very good strategy on the part of Iran. What is the point of denying if those sites were really destroyed, as it served no purpose for Iran to keep denying it? Just lull the USA into a false sense of victory would be a better way of dealing with the matter. Let the USA continue to think and believe that their bunker busters are the most effective weapon in the world.

How many times have the USA been waylaid by their own claims that they are the best in everything, only to discover that they are already behind upon realization. There are perfect examples like space station technology, high-speed rail construction, EV technology, battery technology and shipbuilding, sectors that China came from far behind to snooker the USA. Downfall is always the consequence of those who are too arrogant. Moreover, stifling competition from peers will result in the thinking that innovation is no longer a necessity, as tariffs will handle the competition.

China is not resting on its laurels, as trying to be self-sufficient means it is necessary to continue to innovate. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention.

Virgo's Morning Bread - How white men write the rules to control the world

All these Whites are mostly mentally sick.

Each night after waking up on the wrong side of their beds they shall have all sorts of nonsense threats and procedures that they so called Intelligence reports and make beliefs or BS tactics to make the general masses of the whole wide world suffers.

After their deserved punishments 911 or is it been staged by them ( killing thousands of the own without blinking and eyelids) just have an excuse to further their warmongerings sale of their own known tai lan Pang hei economy of Military Arsenals sales, they came up with all sorts of stupid regulations and orders under their Rules Based Orders and the Dafts and Stupid of the whole world believed and trust and followed their Edicts.

Firstly, they wanted every country who traded with them must have a survey of their goods or cargo been done by their appointed monies making surveyors.

The EURO Nuts are part of their scheme as the surveyors are also from there.

Having all the countries extra nonsense additional slow down work to their satisfactions.

Ways of making more monies and behaving like an Empire that controls All.

Secondly, they started implementing what's nonsense many stages up own whims and fancies rules to all Airlines that no liquid of how many cc in bottles or containers are allowed as they hype that they could contain deadly chemical bombs or their poos.

Come on if you allowed even 10cc of your socalled hyped deadly chemical bombs to be brought in also can down the planes lah!

Nowadays no Need Terrorists to down the planes, your own wanted to make monies putting contaminated fuel into the planes and your suicidal pilots and also the half past sick, oops six ground Maintaince crew socalled Indian engineers can also down all planes.

That's why I don't fly. Also no monies and so much hassles to fly.

Then they also reported that the Terrorist can so smart meh make pistols and guns designed as hand phones and we have to take out all our mobile devices into the trays for scanning thru immigrations.

Then also must take out all our shoes and other footwear as the terrorists hide deadly don't know what's inside. BS!

So many daft and stupid doggies countries believed what's they propagate and followed their edicts like FOOLs.

Also some gian png airport security staff benefited.

As many of their socalled confiscated illegally items later been shared amongst them saving them monies and hassles to buy.

Once back from KLIA and brought some bottles items of grocery harmless Wares.

Wow the Security guy so happy to confiscate them as they are more than the allowed what's nonsense so much cc. Go and see ( die) better!

Next after that he shall called his mistress or wife to say tonite we had extra free goodies you no need to buy at the mama stalls.

That the White Barbarians and Savages propaganda.

Are all these rules still in effect?

Think many are being waived now.

Pity the Air Travellers

Countries that sanctioned Russia

 The former co President of Goldman Sachs, John Thornton, made a reality check in an interview on China US relations. This was what he disclosed about countries that followed the American rogue regime to sanction Russia after the Ukraine War.

In Latin America, all 32 countries did not sanction Russia. 0 sanctioned Russia.

In Africa, all 54 African states did not sanction Russia. The score is 54 - 0.

In the Middle East, all the Arab and Muslim states did not sanction Russia, ie 22 - 0 sanctioned Russia.

In the Oceania, of the 16 states, only two sanctioned Russia, ie Australia and New Zealand. The score 14 - 2.

In Asia, all the countries did not sanction Russia except for 3 twits, ie Singapore, Japan and South Korea. The score 45 - 3.

Even in Europe, not every country sanctioned Russia other than the NATO states.

He also revealed that when Xi came up with the concept of BRI, he shared it with John Kerry of the USA. Kerry said it was a good idea, but Kerry was kicked out of Washington when he raised the subject. Xi wanted to work with the US to co sponsor the BRI. It was the rogue regime in Washington that rejected the offer to work on the BRI. And it was the rogue regime in Washington that fabricated the lie that China wanted to use the BRI to isolate the USA and to control the world. And many silly countries blindly and unthinkingly agreed to this distorted and mischievous version of the American terrorists.

Jamarl Thomas, KJ Noh - America's genocidal wars

 

52 minutes of American's genocidal wars and the complicity of American colonies and allies in these wars. South Korea is one of the worst poodles of the Americans, sending huge number of South Koreans to fight for the Americans in their genocidal wars, especially in Vietnam. At one stage there were more South Korean soldiers in Vietnam than GIs. The South Koreans were also in Afghanistan. Australia is second to South Korea as America's most trusted and loyal poodle and murderer of young Afghans, slitting young boys' throat as initiation to qualify as savages.

KJ Noh also described how the Americans are controlling the two Asian colonies, South Korea and Japan, with almost absolute control over their military and the appointment of their leaders. The Americans are now coercing the Japanese and Australians to commit in black and white in the coming nuclear war with China. As for the South Koreans, they are taken for granted that they will be in as the South Korean military is fully under the Americans. Even who is to be their president is dictated by the Americans.

This video is an eye opener on how much control the Americans have over their Asian poodles and how dangerous and cruel they are in their genocidal wars in Asia. The western press is complicit in the American genocides by denying and not reporting them.

Anyone still in doubt about how depraved the evil Americans are, please watch this video to get a better understanding of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the American terrorists, and be prepared for WW3. Even Jamarl Thomas, an American, was shocked and awed by what was revealed by KJ Noh. He was educated.

US$10 billion for a drawing of a naked woman or a scoundrel's reputation?

Trump is suing Wall Street Journal for US$10 billion over its claim of a lewd letter that Trump was claimed to have sent to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday, showing a drawing of a naked woman. Trump claimed his reputation has been tarnished, which is laughable. What sliver of a reputation does a man with six bankruptcies to his name and a history of sexual misconduct have left to be destroyed?

Trump and Rupert Murdoch, the owner of WSJ and other USA media, are said to be at each other's throat and they hated each other. Trump calls the WSJ a 'pile of garbage'. By the way, Scott Ritter in an interview called Trump 'A lying bag of manure', LOL.

One of the most stunning insults that takes the cake must be that no-holds- barred takedown of Trump, from a North Korean media, a woman reporter, after Trump's birthday military parade, where she said that Trump was sitting between a drunk television host (Pete Hegseth) and an expensive prostitute (Melania Trump). Many said that the reporter was telling the truth for once - just imagine that! Now, I just wonder why Trump did not sue the North Korean media with this kind of no-holds-barred insult that really dismantled the reputation of Trump. Perhaps, Trump thinks that video will not make a wide circulation, but those who knows how to look will find it.

By the way, legal analysts of Trump's legal action against the WSJ will not succeed. The Jeffrey Epstein files are now the prime-time entertainment issue in the USA, while the world watches with amusement.

US and EU's supply chain war with Russia and China

I was puzzled when social media talked about China's dark factories. Those were actually factories completely run by robots and does not even need lights on for robots to work in the dark, producing 24 hours a day. And most amazingly, making rockets and missiles in those factories using robots 24 hours a day sounds terrifying. Maybe even robots making other military robots for war.

Trump gloated about producing patriot missiles for Ukraine. Wonder how he is going to do that without most of the raw materials controlled by China. China's control of rare earth elements for weapons is already helping Russia big time, no need for China to directly help Russia by supplying weapons. Maybe China is doing that via North Korea already, supplying all the essential materials to the North Koreans. There are always ways and means to get around a problem, the same as Russia getting around the oil sanctions imposed by the West. Does it work? Honestly it does work in reverse gear for the EU, having to pay through their noses for expensive energy and crippling its own manufacturing base. How stupid is that?

Hsien Loong - New framework, world minus one

Lee Hsien Loong just made a pointed remark that the 'best framework is the world minus one' which is directed at the USA. Everybody in the world is now fighting a trade war with the USA and has to look at the bigger picture of why not just ignore the USA market and concentrate on the Global South and BRICS.

China has afforded least developed African countries with zero tariffs on 100% of their exports to China from December l, 2024. China has also signed a free trade agreement with ASEAN countries. Such African countries and ASEAN know who is giving them a better deal in trade moving forward. China is a much bigger market than the USA for products from such least developed countries of Africa and they will benefit greatly in mutual co-operation in decades to come. The Africans know that China will be in Africa for the long term, as China has done decades in the past when Africa was facing grave difficulties due to exploitation by the Western colonizers. At that time China was a poor country, but the fact is China still went ahead to aid Africa in fighting against colonialism. Now we are seeing more African countries taking up the fight, like Burkina Faso.

American's evidence of destroying Iran's nuclear plant?

 

This handout satellite image provided by Maxar Technologies and dated Jun 27, 2025, shows excavators at the tunnel entrances of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) one week after US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites early on Jun 22. (Photo: Maxar Technologies/AFP)

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Jul 19) insisted that the US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities "completely destroyed" the sites after a report said that some had largely survived.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump reiterated his frequent claim that "all three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED"....

Despite Trump's claims of total success, several US media outlets have reported leaked intelligence suggesting a hazier picture.

The latest to cast doubt was an NBC News report on Friday, quoting a military damage assessment that only one of the three sites was mostly destroyed.  CNA

As expected, the Americans keep bragging about how successful was their bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities. It is also their way of claiming how effective were their weapons. Just look at the picture above and the massive mountains, what can bunker buster bombs that can penetrate at best 60m do to them? Very likely the bombs may not even penetrate 20m of the hard rock structures.

And Iranian engineers would not be so stupid to build their facilities at a depth to be conveniently destroyed by the American bombs. They will drill into the mountains from the base which will give them hundreds of metres of rock to shield them from above. There is no way that the American bombs can come near them.

The recent wars in the Middle East have destroyed many of the myths of western weapon superiority. What world best Rafales, F35s, Iron Domes, David Sling, Arrow 2, Arrow 3, all turned out to be no better than Lego toys. Wait for the second attack on Iran, and with Iran's newly acquired Chinese air defence systems, and the snipers in the air, J10s, waiting, see how many F35s would be taken down like the world best Rafales.

The stage is now set for a showdown between China's J10Cs against the self claimed world best F35s in the skies of the Middle East. The world is waiting for this great show to end the white men's myth for good.

American terrorism and cyber espionage for the uninitiated

 The Americans have been very successful in controlling and ruling the world with its anti terrorism strategy to gain acceptance and compliance. The idea is nothing ingenious or clever, very basic, and is successful for many reasons. Applying threat and coercion, bribing of corrupt national leaders and also the complicity of pro western elites that believe everything white is good. They happily embraced all the American lies as truth.

The American propaganda machine simply broadcasts daily about threats from this country or that country by slanders, defamation and lies. When there are willing listeners and brain dead pro western elites, there is no need for proof or evidence. What the American media said is good enough proof. And when evidence is lacking, the American terrorists simply supply the terrorists to do the damage. Out of the blue, a strange new terrorist group will be created and commit some terrorist crimes. The American media or so called intelligence sources would immediately come up with a new name for the group. QED. And the suckers would simply go along without wanting to know who is behind the terrorists.

In a way, the old method of killing the messenger is a good way to stop such fabricated terrorism. The messenger is sent by the terrorists and often is a member of the terrorist organisation to deceive the intended victim.

The same methodology is applied in cyber warfare, or cyber terrorism. Like the seller of antivirus products, the terrorists would create the virus, spread the virus, then show them to the users, see, this is the virus, and they have the antidote, the antivirus software, to kill the virus. Deal done, money in the pocket.

Cyber terrorism is not far from this. The cyber terrorists would do the attacks or set up terrorist cells to do the attack. Then they will use the attack as evidence to show the targeted parties that they have been attacked with their fabricated proof. It sure looks very genuine. And like all things in cyberspace, who is able to track down the source of the attack?  The Americans or any country can launch an attack and leave traces pointing to China. The gullible or willing accomplice will then tell the world it is China. The attackers or terrorists could be the one standing right in front of the listener, and offering to provide the assistance needed, at a price of course. Any unwary or unsuspecting targeted client, especially those that are not well versed in cyber warfare or IT would easily be convinced and fell prey to such scams.

For corporate clients that ended up being suckers to such cyber scams and pay the scammers for their aid packages, like buying antivirus solutions from the people creating the virus, the loss could be just monetary. For a nation state, falling into such silly traps, without killing the messengers, would compromise the security of the nation by inviting the terrorists into their ministries and opening the doors for them to access their security networks. Such cheap tricks would work on simple minds and willing minds that are already sold before even the terrorists come a calling.

When the American terrorists come calling and claimed that there is such a threat, be very sure that they are behind it. This is their SOP. Just like the Americans accusing China of fake genocide in Xinjiang when the Americans are committing genocide daily in Gaza. No one would condemn the daily genocide but would condemn minor attacks by the freedom fighters.

Beware, do not be duped by snake oil salesmen.

Tariff is Trump's way of collecting easy money. He does not care if it works or not

There is a world of difference between thinking decades ahead and just thinking no further than the nose. Trump's tariff on the world is a short-term thinking just no further than his nose. To make the tariffs really telling, Trump should have attracted manufacturing back to the USA first before trying his luck without planning and just and hoping to succeed with hoaxes and blackmailing. No sane investor is going to move manufacturing back to the USA now, knowing the costs of production is going to escalate with tariffs on imported raw materials, such as aluminum and steel. Now semiconductor giants like Samsung are having cold feet by investing further citing lack of demand. If Samsung is saying the inevitable, what do the others have to say.

On the contrary, true blue USA entities like John Deere, are moving out of the USA for cheaper destinations, primarily to Mexico. John Deere probably realizes the agricultural sector in the USA has little future to hang on to. Farmers left in USA are crying foul, but they should blame Trump for starting the trade war during his first term against China. The retaliation was hard-hitting against USA's agricultural sector, which is now floundering. China's hope to return to buying soya beans and corn from USA farmers are a foregone conclusion. Instead, China has already found alternative supplies from Brazil, Argentina and Russia. These are friendly countries that China can trust, save for Argentina with its clownish leader veering from one side to the other, depending on which direction the wind blows.

The USA is still looking for rare earth opportunities to hang on to, hoping to start the ball rolling, already years behind schedule. USA tried to source rare earth raw materials from Mongolia but failed at the first hurdle of trying to use China's Tianjin Port to ship them to Japan for refining. Now, there is a tariff deal with Vietnam, with rare earth in abundance in Vietnam for the taking but setting up mining and refining logistics take years. Let us forget about rare earth reserves in Ukraine, which was probably a scam to keep the USA engaged in the Ukraine War.

If it is Boeing, I am not flying

If it is Boeing, I am not flying seems to be the byword today for most travelers. Those that have not suffered the scare will always do the dare, no doubt about it. It is their own life to play around with.

Apart from safety issues, Boeing is unable to deliver planes ordered and some airlines have resorted to cancelling orders. When time is the essence of making money, delay of a few years of planes needed today is not acceptable.

There have been reports that counterfeit titanium parts and aluminum alloys have been substituted by an Italian parts manufacturer, which is scary to think of. Boeing is selling planes costing hundreds of millions each and still needs cost cutting measures just boggles the mind. Shareholder's returns are more important than safety of passengers.

Suffice to say, Boeing planes are not all made in the USA, and it still relies on supply chains from around the world. Trump's tariff will add more to the misery of Boeing.

Boeing 787 diverted mid-flight over fuel switch safety check

A Boeing jet bound for India was forced to turn back to get its fuel control switches checked as investigations into the Air India tragedy continue. Etihad Airways flight EY352, travelling from Abu Dhabi to Hyderabad made its return to the UAE capital after an engineering work order came into place on Sunday mid-flight, according to Times of India. The order to inspect the locking mechanism on fuel supply switches came after a report by India's Aircraft Investigation Bureau was published on Saturday.

Shocking video footage captured the terrifying moment a Boeing 737 engine began sparking and shooting flames into the night sky shortly after takeoff, with passengers describing what seemed like a mid-air 'explosion.' The FAA has launched an investigation after the right engine of a Sun Country Airlines Boeing 737 experienced issues mid-air, just moments after it took off from Los Angeles International Airport on Monday night.

Two flights were faced with mid-air emergencies 60 seconds apart, which sparked travel chaos at Gatwick airport.

The British Airways flight en route to Cancun declared a full emergency after 'toxic fumes' filled the cabin of its Boeing 777-200 on Tuesday.
The smoke prompted oxygen masks to deploy mid-air and even forced pilots to open cockpit windows for fresh air.

The TRUTHs are these:-

1) Doing illegal activities harming businesses or trafficking in drugs and other activities.

2) Manufactured Deadly Military Arsenals to have Wars Businesses.

3) Those Euro Bits conned the Dafts and Imbeciles with their hype up and jacked up high class luxurious Wares that are been outsourced to 3rd World's Countries and also 1st World China as a bare minimal cost and just displayed grandeur showrooms and cases to con the dafts into believing that they World's Class Manufactured Wares into paying hundreds or thousands for them.

4) Robbed and invaded other countries for their resources or had unfair pacts to rob them unfairly.

So these are the CON JOBS of the White Barbarians and Savages.

India's role in a geopolitics versus geoeconomic divide

Pravin Sawhney expounded on India's sleazy and messy entanglement in a world divided by geopolitical interests and geoeconomic interests where India wants to be a key player in both but confronting a reality that would not allow India to do so. Above is a 20 minute clip exploring India's have the cake and eat it policy, of being in BRICS and also in QUAD, in being friends of the US and undermining the very objectives of BRICS and thinking this is a special privilege position India can hold, and both the Americans and BRICS countries would have to accept it.

Pravin Sawhney explained that being in the QUAD, India is acting like a vassal state of the Americans, a position contrary to its ambition as an independent superpower. On the other hand, being a founding member of BRICS, India is an equal partner and serves its aspiration to be the leader of the Global South. The two opposing memberships put India in a dicey position and compromise India's goal to be an independent pillar in global politics.

The American's position is centred on geopolitical interests, a zero sum game of winners and losers, with the Americans wanting to rule the world and continue to be the dominant world hegemon. BRICS' premises are based on geoeconomics, a win win formula for all countries, in trade and economic development, a multi polar world and the development of an alternative trade and financial system alongside the American SWIFT and dollar systems.

India is now caught in between and its positions in both organisations make it looks like a trouble maker, a mischievous party that would harm the interests of the respective organisations. India is no longer trusted by both organisations and both are suspicious of the roles of India. This is untenable. BRICS cannot move forward with India as the stumbling block. The Americans only see India as a poodle to do its bidding and its nasty and destructive agenda in undermining BRICS.

India would have to choose and there is not much time. Both sides cannot tolerate an unreliable partner in their organisation, a member they cannot trust and cannot discuss openly in India's presence. Either India be asked to go or the organisations exist in paralysis. This would be an utter waste of time and effort of the leaders and countries to stay in the organisations. It would be sad that an international organisation allows itself to be crippled by just a rogue member, in India and has to become defunked.

Epstein, the most successful pimp, was Trump's nemesis

 Jeffrey Epstein's pimp operation has been in business for decades, luring, ensnaring and entrapping all the political elites of the western world into his net. Everyone, from royalties to tycoons from London, New York, Paris and all the western capitals were happy clients and friends of Epstein. The operation is very well financed and connected, a sign that it is more than just a normal pimp business. 

Epstein made sure that all the activities of his clients were carefully captured on films and video clips, and documented for future use when needed. He targeted clients even in their youths as long as they have the potential, and coming from the elite circles. It is a deep underground operation, like a mole. And for decades, nothing surfaced, and the clients were happy and trusting in Epstein, confident that no one would know of their private lives and sordid indiscretion. No one would know as long as the masterminds did not have the need to expose them to do their bidding. Who are the real masterminds behind this huge seedy operation?

Strangely, pictures and video clips of Trump's younger days and his amusments in the confines of Epstein's establishments started to pop up one after another. These have nothing to do with Wikileaks. They are more sinister than that. Some may think they came from Musk. The big question is where did Musk get them from? Or is it that some sources conveniently leaked out these saucy stuff at this critical juncture to put Trump in the defensive, becoming very vulnerable and needing help, meaning would have to do the bidding of those that could help him, to destroy or prevent more exposures of his unflattering past and despicable behaviours?

There have been many speculations and conspiracy theories floating around that Trump is now a controlled man, no longer able to do as he pleased or as he pledged that he would do. He is no longer the supposedly peace loving president that would end all wars, end the Ukraine War and the Gaza Genocide. In fact he is now expanding the war in Ukraine and the Genocide in Gaza while he is still dreaming and hopeful of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His handler knows this and is waving the Peace Prize in his face, if he behaves and be obedient to his masters. 

Many are now questioning who is the real Trump. Because of his strange behaviours and policies, all his grand plans about MAGA have collapsed and his followers are deserting him. Trump is now isolated in his office in the White House with only his handful of henchmen beside him. Many have left, losing confidence in him. 

Who is the biggest beneficiary of this new Trump that is acting and dancing to the tune of his handler? Trump's days are numbered, now fully at the mercy of his handlers. He has to obey and do as told or more pics and videos would surface to further discredit him, not that the damage is not bad enough.

Epstein's operation is the Trump card, pun intended, to control Trump and all the senators and congressmen and women. The lobby can just do so much but not as effective as what that can come out from Epstein's closet. Trump is a dead man walking, a President with a handler, no difference from Biden.

Biden destroyed USA by weaponising the dollar, Trump follows up by weaponising tariffs

A little bit of chaos in exchange for a fairer multipolar world is worth the price to pay. Why keep the US$ hegemony when it is doing so much harm to the rest of the world, printing money to feed its war machine to start wars, using the US$ to sanction countries and exporting USA inflation to the rest of the world.

The USA is the mother of all counterfeiters, printing money at its whims and fancies with its US$ hegemony. It could just print and spend, print and buy goods produced by other countries and still claim it is being ripped off. What a load of hogwash thinking that everyone else is stupid.

The fact that countries are not buying USA treasuries and bonds is testimony to its coming problem of keeping the game going. Joe Biden was not overly concern with BRICS during his term. Trump is now realizing that BRICS de-dollarization is not just a harmless threat to the mighty US$, but a problem he has to deal with. Just the start of this year and we have seen the US$ bond market crippled by lack of buyers, while the US$ value has fallen by 10% in just a few months against other currencies.

It is so ironic that the USA is so short of rare earth elements that it has resorted to buying from countries discreetly under the table - South Korea and India, which had now been discovered by China. The USA may have the money, but China holds the rare earth logistics and refused to sell them to the USA. Money is not the mover in this case and China must make sure its bargaining chip is not compromised.

Trump after Musk's wealth?

Trump is fighting hard to prevent the release of the Epstein files, which is going to incriminate him beyond any reasonable doubt. This man could never ever not be a part of such a child sex ring. He thrives on it, benefitted from it and is trying to cover up his sins.

But we know the USA justice system is as much a circus as all other sectors. Two long years of Russia gate achieved nothing against Trump, and Putin is laughing at the clowns in the USA circus, spending so much time and money for nothing.

Trump even threatened to go after all those who plotted against him if he returns to office during Joe Biden's term and we can understand why no one in his administration had the guts to tell him where he is wrong. Elon Musk tried to do that and is removed, harassed and threatened with deportation. Putin has offered Elon Musk asylum in Russia. What are friends for anyway?

Trump is trying to get his hands on the wealth of Elon Musk, the DOGE chief that has been thrown to the dogs. Elon Musk lost a couple of hundred million investing in and trying to be friendly with Trump, but the biggest damage must be to his and Tesla's reputation. How did the smartest guy in the world fail to realize he will be made used of and thrown under the bus as all others before him. But then, thinking about the six bankruptcies that Trump managed to chalk up, who is surprised. How could all those people trust him after his first bankruptcy is mind boggling.

American farmers should atone the sins of American terrrorists and send their unsold products to feed the poor and hungry

The Farmers already started burning their crops and soon very soon be driving their Tractors and Harvesters into the Highways to jam the Traffic.

Also empty shelves in their stores, soon, very soon the Rednecks and Hillbillies Cowboys be straddling their Killer Arsenals and start shooting their own for survival.

These White Barabians and Savages deserved to kill their own as been killing too many coloured peoples in their past.

Also to anyone for their crimes and sins, their unsold agricultural products should be shipped to those starving countries as merits and forgiveness from their Almighty God instead of just destroying them.

Sad to say Barbarians and Savages are Barbarians and Savages and have no empathy and hearts for others.

Hello should embrace Buddhism and learnt to be humans rather than Savages.

World Aquatic Championship postponed...but to resume

 World Aquatics executive director Brent Nowicki said later on Tuesday afternoon that elevated levels of the E. coli bacteria were responsible for the race postponement. He added that the source of the contamination had yet to be determined.

E. coli are bacteria typically found in the intestines of humans and animals. Common symptoms of ingesting a pathogenic strain of E. coli include vomiting and diarrhoea. CNA

Singapore is not only the world's richest country, it is also one of the cleanest island state in the world. No or very little sewage or wastewater flows into the surrounding sea. The sewage water is being harvested to make Newater or clean water and the residue waste are properly disposed off without contaminating the environment or water in the sea.

How on earth that the water around Sentosa Island, the venue for the World Aquatic Championship be found to have unacceptable high level of E Coli bacteria leading to a postponement of the event? Fortunately, subsequent testing found that the water quality was from good to excellent and the Championship could proceed after a day of delay. 

Singapore authority has been testing the water quality for the period prior to the race and found the quality to be acceptable. How on earth that the E Coli level gone to bad or unacceptable on the day of the event? It was reported 'that tests are outsourced to “outside testing agencies” to ensure rigour and independence'. Which agency did the testing? 

The other big question, how did the E Coli bacteria get into the water in unacceptable quantities? The main source of E Coli comes from shit. How did so much shit get into the water in Sentosa when all the shit was directed for further treatment in special treatment facilities, not directly into the sea?

Singapore as a clean and safe city state and a top tourist destination could be harmed by this incident.

India has to buy Chinese J10s or J35s to be at par with Pakistan

 Indians dream of controlling the skies in South Asia is now in tatters. Modi was led to believe that the Rafales were an air superiority fighter, the best in the world and could take down all Chinese aircraft, including the 5th generation J20s easily. The Indians even bragged that one Rafale could take down 5 J20s in a fight. This could be the reason why Modi did not mind paying crazily for the Rafales at nearly US$200m each, much more than the US$100m for an American F35. The F35 is ranked several rungs below the Rafales. Only the American F22s are ranked above the Rafales.

After the acquisition of the Rafales, Modi really thought that the Indian Air Force is now better than the PLAAF, and India would rule the sky.  He was so eager to prove this newly acquired Indian might in the sky, a staged false flag incident was conducted leading to the Indian Pakistan 4 Day War.  Operation Sindoor was India's graduating party into the world of military power. Thrashing Pakistan's small air force was easy and a show of force, to teach the Chinese a lesson with India's world best Rafale fighters.

Cannot imagine how bad Modi took it when at least 3 Rafales were taken down within hours of the war.  Modi paid a ransom just to buy the Rafales, and French took full advantage of it, knowing how badly the Indians wanted the Rafales and sold them at double the price of a F35.

With the Rafales now in the dust, India has to look for a better fighter jet to take on China's J10 and the more superior J35 and J20. Where on earth is India going to find such a machine? The supposedly world best, ranked number one F22 is now out of production, as good as scrapped by the Americans. And with the F22 out of the way, the Americans are painting the F35s as the new world best fighters. Only the brain dead would believe in this claim. Modi, after learning a painful lesson from the Rafale fiasco, would be much wiser and would not be duped again. But Trump tried to offer the F35 to Modi, but with many conditions, as good as saying no.

The F35 is looking like a non starter to Modi. And there is no other better aircraft available in the market to take on the J10. What to do? Maybe wait for the aliens to come visiting and offer an alien space ship to better the J10. A more practical way is of go to Xi and ask to buy the J10, at least to be on par with Pakistan's J10. And with Indian pilots, supposedly better trained than the Pakistanis, they would be one up against the Pakistanis using the same J10s. But wait a minute. Pakistan has upgraded to J35, a much more superior twin engine fighter that is many times more superior than the single engine F35. The Americans may still crow about the F35 as world best, but no one is going to believe in this joke. Several F35s had already be shot down by Iran to prove that it is not worthy of its claim, like the Rafales.

J10 is the first buy for India, but to match Pakistan, India must also look to buying the J35s. Otherwise, the Indian Air Force would look like a sick cat and the Indian pilots would be afraid to take to the sky to face the J10s. India has no choice, only China has better aircraft than the J10.

From Boeing to Moeing, Make in India

Scary data!

Boeing former CEO Dennis Muilemburg in the few years he was in charge outsourced a large amount of Boeing’s business, especially software development, flight control system and core technologies, to suppliers in India to reduce costs. He also promoted a huge number of Indian engineers and managers.

Before 2015, in the entire Boeing company, the number of Indian employees was only about 1,000. But by the year 2024, the number has grown to 20,000. As Boeing engineers numbered 33,000, that means more than half of Boeing engineers are of Indian descent.

China knew what was coming and fully prepared for it

When being pushed against a wall, China has no other choice but to be self-dependent. And this choice is making the USA and the West nervous, so they want to cripple China come what may.

Fortunately, China already knew what was coming, so they build all the bridges to control all the raw materials, all the refining logistics for rare earth elements, recalibrate its education system to support a manufacturing base and lured back some of the top overseas scientists and engineers. Now it is not only these highly trained scientists and engineers forming the backbone of China's manufacturing and innovative research. What is even more telling is the knowledge that these top scientists and engineers will be imparting to younger Chinese scientists and engineers. China now holds top spot in global patents filed in technology like communication, EVs, batteries and drone technology.

China is on the verge of not relying anymore on Nvidia high end chips for its AI development. Jensen Huang may be the four trillion company in history, but he is nevertheless worried. Huawei comes into the picture in China's AI development.

If China is more dependent on USA, Xi would have gone to Washington

If China is more dependent on USA, Xi would long have gone to Washington to be humiliated. But it is the other way round, with the USA yearning for a meeting with Xi. What had been discussed in Switzerland and London are peripheral issues that still needs the go ahead from Xi. The USA can make all kinds of claims about illusory agreements that were forged in their delusional mind.

Just look at India, with Modi rushing to Washington before everyone else, thinking he is going to catch the early worm and be patted on the head by Trump. Instead, Modi was humiliated and forced to buy expensive weapons from the USA and even now coerced to buy agricultural products that had been rejected by China. Some of the agricultural products have also been rejected by the EU due to genetically modified issues which the EU is very strict about. This is going to kill Indian farmers.

Farmers in USA are going bankrupt without the Chinese market, which is never going to return. The USA will face a National Security Issue with regard to food in time to come, if more farmers bite the dust. In the initial stages of the trade war during Trump's first term, subsidies were used to keep farmers in business. Long term subsidies are not going to work, just like subsidizing semiconductor manufacturers. It sounds good for a start, but not feasible for the longer term. Even monopolizing the semiconductor sector needs a big enough market and if they cannot break into the China market, that spells doom and gloom. Samsung has seen the reality and having cold feet, refusing to go deeper into investing in the USA. Lack of demand was the reason, and who is fueling the demand? Not the USA manufacturers for sure.
