Singapore takes strong principled position on the Straits of Hormuz

 

8 min clip on why Americans are against the illegal war against Iran and against all the war crimes being committed by the Trump regime. Many Americans are so aghast of what the regime is doing, behaving like terrorists, might is right, violating all principles of International Law and moral codes.

Singapore won't negotiate for passage through Strait of Hormuz as 'matter of principle' as reported in the Straits Times. This is the first time that Singapore made a statement based on principles on the killing of Iranians by the American and Israeli terrorists in Iran...though not on the killing but on free passage through the Strait. This is more important than the lives of Iranians. Singaporeans are obviously proud of Singapore's stand on this issue, just like Singapore's stand on the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The missing piece is when Singapore is going to condemn and sanction America and Israel based on principles, like sanctioning Russia. Singaporeans would definitely be fully behind the govt to take another brave principled stand. Oops, cannot say that for the Anglophiles, they are behind the American and Israeli terrorists.

How would this principled statement by Vivian affect Singapore's interests? Singapore's principled statement and sanction against Russia have its consequences and Singapore is now living with them bravely and quietly. Some have the view that it was best for Singapore to shut up when big powers are fighting, principle or no principle, whether Singapore opens its mouth or not, nothing changes. In this case it is the same, better to shut up than to open the mouth. Singapore has nothing to gain, only to live with the negative consequences. If Singapore did not open its mouth, the worse consequence to suffer is constipation, when the shit could not get out.

In the bombing and killing of Iranians, there are many principles violated that Singapore chose to keep quiet, why spoke out on the Strait, why now? The invasion of Iran and killing of Iranians are many time more serious than the closing of the Strait. Violation of international laws, violation of national sovereignty, war crimes etc are very serious crimes.  By speaking out on the closing of the Strait, does it help in anyway should America decide to close the Strait of Malacca or the Strait of Singapore?

Apparently Singapore has forgotten the debacle for speaking out against Russia and sanctioning Russia. The Americans have lifted their sanctions on Russian oil. Would Singapore be doing so as well, against its principled position? Why must Singapore poke its little thing into a vice between two or more superpowers? What is Singapore's benefit against its policies of pragmatism? Would Singapore die or suffer consequences by not opening its mouth?

When the world is full of hypocrisies, when taking principled position is a suka suka option, not a consistent policy, when violation of international law is the norm of terrorist states, would it be better to behave like a small state, know where its proper place in international politics? Is there any country in the world clapping for Singapore's principled stand? Is such grandstanding necessary or even useful?

In celebration of raw power and rogue states

 Has Civilisation advanced after a few millennia of trial and error? Has Civilisation be proud to call itself civilised? The recent events happening around the world, especially in America and the Middle East speak for themselves. Human beans are still nothing better than the animals in the wild where might is right and killing is the only way to survive, where the weak deserves to be killed and eaten and perished.

The world is celebrating the display of raw power by Donald Trump in doing whatever he wants in violation of all international laws and decency, in violation of ethics and morals and religious righteousness. Trump is telling the world he is the law, he decides what is right and wrong, he decides who lives, who dies. And the world accepts his rules, his rules based order, all decided and written by him for the world to live by. 

Trump has set out, together with his partner of crimes, Netanyahu, to annihilate Iran, to wipe out the Iranian Civilisation. And no one dares to condemn him, to oppose what he said or intent to do. No one is principled enough to stand up to his law of the jungle world order. Everyone is cowering in fear. Iran is fighting on, alone, against the might of the world's number one and number two terrorist states, and likely to lose. 90 million Iranians with an economy isolated and crippled by the American terrorists, and with the rest of the world obediently taking the side of the American terrorists or pretending not to know what is happening, have no chance against the military might of the American terrorists. Should Trump decide to nuke Iran to the Stone Age, who is principled enough to stand up to stop the Americans? The American terrorists have won by default and through raw power, nuclear weapons, and the rest of the world has no answer. They will accept the fait accompli after Iran is destroyed and Iranians wiped out of existence.

Israel, the number two terrorist states is consistently persuing its goal of eliminating all the Arabs and Muslims from the Middle East, and unstoppable. Palestine is as good as gone to the Israelis and the Palestinians still being massacred daily or left to die from hunger, thirst and disease. The world can only look away, not wanting to know, not wanting to do anything.

Israel is pushing towards its next objective, to turn Lebanon into another Gaza and Lebanese into another Palestinians. 100 targets bombed in Lebanon in 10 minutes in the centre of the city. No one is breathing a word, but to look away, to let Israel wipe out the Lebanese. The rest of the Arab and Muslim states are doing the same, not doing anything, not that they will be safe. It is pointless to resist. Their only hope is to live another day. Their fate, the future of their land and people have already been written by Israel and America. They are living on borrowed time. They will all end up like the Palestinians. They know, but chose to live for today and hope for another day, nothing more, nothing less. They have resigned to the raw power of the Israelis and the Americans. They know that resistance is futile. Just enjoy the last few days they could, not to think about tomorrow. Let it be when it is time to be slaughtered by the Americans and Israelis.

The world has no mercy for the weak that did not want to fight for themselves. The weak deserves to be wiped out like the animals in the wild. The strong shall eat the weak. There is no right or wrong, no moral, no ethics. These concepts are lies to let the weak have some hope that they may live a bit longer.

Raw power, might is right is the new world order. The Arab and Muslim states are happy with it and know there is no way out. Israel will flatten Lebanon in a matter of days. No one can stop that. When Israelis or the Americans drop bombs, they are meant to destroy everything, kill as many as possible. Nothing to be shy about massacring the subhuman, the weak and the bad people. When Iran drops bomb in Israel, it is carefully planned not to hit and kill civilians, not even to hit and destroy the Israeli military installations and air bases. If they hit them, it is just like dropping water bombs, for fun, nothing serious. The Israeli might is the air force. And this must not be hit too hard, so that they can go on and bomb and destroy every Arab and Muslim states according to their plan to take over the Middle East. The Israelis can continue to fly their bombers safely from their bases to strike the Arab and Muslim states. After more than 40 days of bombing, the Israeli air bases are as good as untouched. Why?

The Iranians are not even serious to take out the only advantage the Israelis have, their air power. All the bombs and missiles dropping on Israel are for show, not meant to destroy the air might of Israel so that Israel can go on and on to wipe out the Arab and Muslim states one by one.

Raw power and rogue states shall rule the Middle East and eventually the world. Israel, a tiny piece of land with less than 10 million pop is even showing its middle finger to Russia and China and nothing will happen to them. Both are afraid to be nuked by Israel and America. They even killed Italian UN peace keepers with impunity. So better stay away and hope to live for another day.

Long live raw power and rogue states. The world has no answer to them. The meek shall never inherit the world. The meek don't deserve to live and survive but be food for the strong and vicious.

Battle of renewable energy versus fossil fuel

The energy crisis will wake the world up to the benefits of EVs. Many countries are slowly adopting EVs and building solar farms to harness renewable energy. China is laughing all the way to the bank over more EV adoption and sales of solar panels, which China has an 80% manufacturing control. That is not all. China also has a 70% control over the wind turbine market. Can we foresee where the world is moving into going forward? Renewables against fossil fuel is the coming battle and will determine who wins and who loses.

But let the USA continue to demonize EVs and concentrate on ICE vehicle usage. It is no big loss for China, as the global south market is big enough to exploit. Trump is into fossil fuel throughout his two Presidencies, even encouraging fracking. Trump in fact demonized windmills or wind turbines for killing birds, does not believe in solar power and continues to demonize China for building too many dams for generating hydro power. It is all to fit into his fossil fuel ideology as mandated by his campaign donors and his investments in oil exploration.

USA intended to use those choke points to blockade the flow of oil in times of war, ostensibly targeting China. Iran is at war with the USA and is blockading the Straits of Hormuz, sharing the same modus-operandi as the USA. If USA is allowed to do blockading at will, why should Iran be denied the same leverage it holds? What is the difference between the two countries having identical ideas. Unless it can be logically explained that blockading China is legal and therefore beneficial for everybody around the world that depended on cheaper Chinese goods.

Clown military genius Trump walked into a trap waiting for him

That four aircraft, two C130s and two Blackhawk attack helicopters cost roughly a total of US$150 million at least. How many crews were lost is not revealed as the four planes carried at least more than 22 people minimum. Some believe more were on board the C130s as the mission was more than doing rescue, which the Blackhawks alone will be enough, but obviously with infiltration intentions on the agenda. But then not only the CIA knew, but Iranians also knew when and where the rescue party will appear and gave them a warm reception.

Trump was definitely rattled and is now raving mad and using profanities in his Truth Social posts. The man is going crazy and cracking. He has rolled back his bombing threats by another two weeks. Let us see whether this will be extended further. After all, a four to five days attack on Iran using a on and off switch, is now entering the sixth week, with two more weeks to be added means eight weeks or two months. Iran must be careful about those two extra weeks, as a surprise attack may come any time from the irrational man-child.

Trump, the genocidal maniac, wants to take out the whole Iranian civilization in one night. He wants to take out 90 million human lives in one stroke. He said he is not worried about war crimes. This is more or less giving his middle finger to the UN, ICC, ICJ and every government around the world that he is untouchable.

Does the world still want to continue to live with the genocidal maniac creating all the problems?

Oh, not to forget, that two extra weeks has immediately been answered by stock markets around the world, thanks to Trump. I am sure some people are making a killing from the yo-yo creation of Trump, most of all Trump's family and cronies.

Trump's Hollywood movie, Saving the Colonel

The Americunts thought that the Silly World is as insane as them.

They claimed that they purposely set fires to the planes that rescued the pilot!

In order that the Iranians might not able to seize and learnt their damn technologies!

If the planes are not shot down why burn their planes and they managed to escape themselves with the pilot?

Oh must have rode the camels or just leopard crawls all the way thru the deserts to escape?

One Iranians video showed the captured pilot with the escorts and bound!

What's the Americunts are talking?

To Dotard Trump's lives of their own are precious, and others are cheap as long as he could use them.

Different Frames of the World now be pro UAssA praising their efforts like Saving Private Ryan turned me off.

What's nonsense leave no one behind as nonsense as the Americunts no qualms of their parasites mercenaries dead as they also are murderers and invaders and killers of so many innocents.

Hogwash!

11 American aircraft downed to save a colonel in Iran?

 There are now many versions of the story of saving a colonel downed deep inside Iran from official and unofficial sources. Trump called it a great victory, a vindication of American superiority in war machine and technology. Some called it a big farce, spending US$2b to save a colonel, losing 11 aircraft in the process. What is the real story? So far it is all based on personal views from the facts reported and available to the public. The real inside story is still a secret.

To assume that the American would throw in 11 aircraft just to save a downed pilot is quite ludicrous. Some ignoramus even argued that this is standard American procedure, including sending two C130s into the operation, including building a make shift runway in the heart of Iran. No one is asking how many manpower and machinery will be needed and how long it would take to build a runway in enemy territory.

Scot Ritter gave his personal account on what could have happened in one of his interviews. There was a big military operation to enter Iran's nuclear facility in Isfahan by Special Forces to steal Iranian enriched uranium, a similar operation like the kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela. The Americans got carried away be their easy success in that operation. But this time it is different, no traitors to open the door for them, or maybe they thought they had and walked into a trap.

Ritter said the two C130s were fully loaded with equipment, choppers and troops for the mission, ie very heavy. Because of the heavy load, both had to go to the edge of the runway for the full distance for the takeoff. While doing a U turn at the end of the runway, the first C130's nose wheel went out of the makeshift runway and got stuck. The second C130 also had the same problem while trying to avoid hitting the first aircaft. After failing to get unstuck, they eventually transferred whatever they could into new rescue aircraft that arrived and flew off, but not before blowing up the two C130s. Problem with Ritter's version, the C130s were preparing to take off, ie completed their mission with Iranian uranium. Obviously not. 

Very likely, the C130s actually just landed at the far end of the runway, had yet to proceed with their mission and got stuck, unable to unload their equipment, choppers and Special Forces, and very likely already getting fired on. Ritter's version assumed that the Iranians were sleeping and the Americans could fly so many aircraft in and out without being noticed and tracked and attacked. The wreckage said they were under heavy fire. It must be. The Iranian radars are everywhere, especially near Isfahan, their nuclear site. And the location of the runway is in the middle of a vast flat land, fully exposed, nothing to take cover. There is no way for the Americans to fly in and out like in homeland America. This is war, this is enemy territory. For all they know, the Iranians were tracking every American aircraft and were waiting for them in an ambush.

The story of a downed weapon system officer, a colonel, is even more ridiculous. Weapon system officer is normally a captain or major or of lower rank. What is a colonel doing behind a pilot of a F15E? Was he the commander in charge of the mission to steal Iranian uranium but got shot down? Even if some of the Special Forces were diverted to save the colonel, how are they going to get out of Iran in such numbers? Rescuing a couple of soldiers in hostile territory with a few choppers quite possible, but a bigger group on top of a mountain and inside enemy territory, and already exposed with hunting parties everywhere, are only made in Hollywood. Every aircraft flying in the area will be spotted by radar or visually and would be shot at. If the Iranians could take down a F15E, and another 10 aircraft, there is no way that the rescuing choppers or a few transport aircraft could come in and fly off safely with their pickups.

Very likely the colonel and many Special Forces are still stuck inside Iran, hiding. Very likely the Iranians are conducting search parties for them and have the area cordoned off, with radars, AA guns and missiles all ready to shoot down anything in the sky or on the ground.'

Trump can tell all the stories he wants. What is the truth? Which is the real story?

Operation Kill Iranians - Any violation of International Laws or Principles

 Invading, bombing another country, assassinating their leaders, killing school girls, bombing civilian infrastructure, taking another country's oil, yes just go and take it, etc etc, these are the normal behaviours of the American terrorists and they are very proud of them. Unlike China, building bridges, roads, railways, infrastructure, trade and selling good and useful products at low prices, these are very hostile and aggressive behaviours, a threat to peace loving America, should be condemned and sanctioned. China is sooooo aggressive.

The American terrorist behaviours as mentioned above are so civilised, so peace loving, so democratic, so virtuous, all in accordance to the American terrorists' rule of law ie rule of the jungle, should be emulated by the rest of the world as good behaviours, good principles to be upheld. The world must live by the American terrorists' rule of law, been practiced for centuries by the primitive Europeans when they colonised the world, committed massacres, genocides, plundering countries, enslaved human beans they labelled as sub humans or animals, and still doing it today, proudly by the deranged Donald Trump and his rogues in Washington. And the whole world loves it, or at least the American allies and cronies. 

How do I know? Because they are not complaining, not condemning the American and Israeli terrorists, because they never sanction them. The UN and the rest of the world did not say that these barbaric acts against the Iranians, Arabs and Muslims are in violation of International Law, violating the Principles of International Relations. The whole world must learn from the American and Israeli terrorists on what is good behaviour, acceptable behaviour...just go and attack countries, kill and kill even school girls, and take whatever they want, take their oil. So easy and no violation of International Laws or Principles. The Americans said so, and done it to show the world what are good behaviours.

Just listen to the hillbillies and rednecks everywhere, in international forums, and repeated by the unthinking and brain dead, that American behaviours are the most virtuous and righteous behaviours, exemplary behaviours. They are so proud of these primitive and barbaric behaviours.

The Iranians are the bad guys, the animals that are violating International Laws and Principles. The treacherous Brits are inciting countries of the world to attack Iran thinking that it was still the old colonial days when whatever they said would be followed. The Anglophiles will follow for sure. But look at the Middle East, did any Arab or Muslim state followed and fire a shot at Iran? NO. The Arab and Muslim states are not stupid. They are not the unthinking Anglophiles. They may make some noise to distract the American and Israeli terrorists, but quietly they are celebrating the days of freedom when all the American bases are wiped out, all the Americans and Israelis are kicked out from the Middle East.

Iran is to Trump, what Iraq is to George W. Bush.

Iran is to Trump, what Iraq is to George W. Bush. What do these two countries have in common? The common theme has to do with oil. Saddam Hussein wants to sell oil in Euros and had to be eliminated. It was nothing about Weapons of Mass Destruction, which had been proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

Iran too, is selling oil in Yuan to China, the major importer of Iranian crude, which is even more detrimental with de-dollarization on the cards. Here again, it is nothing about nukes, which is a red herring, as many have said that Iran is not developing nukes, which is against its religious doctrine, often repeated by its leaders. Even USA National Security leaders are saying the same thing, but they cannot hope to convince the neo-con war mongers in the Deep State and had to be removed.

Oh, Venezuela was doing that same thing, selling oil to China in Yuan, and see what happened to the country. And do not forget about Muammar Gaddafi who also shared to same mindset as Saddam Hussen.

Now BRICS is doing de-dollarization too, but with Russia and China providing the protective umbrella, the USA could do little to harm countries joining the bloc. Of course, we heard the threat by Trump of tariffing those countries joining BRICS to death. Suffice to say, why do countries joining BRICS really have to fear? The whole Global South can do business among themselves inside BRICS, outside the US$ and away from the USA. What can the USA be using to sanction or tariff them to death without the tools to do it? In fact, that will be counterproductive and escalate the fall of the US$ by forcing smaller countries to move away from using the US$ in more ways.

Trump can boast but cannot think

Trump boasted all the time about already having taken out Iran's air force, naval fleet and weapon stocks. He wants to flatten Iran within one night if he does not get his deal. Russia has told Trump not to always threaten others with ultimatums to induce fear in its enemies. This Mafia tactic does not work against those who are prepared to take the USA on.

Winning a war depends not entirely on carpet bombing, as was evident in Vietnam where aerial power and sophisticated weapons did not win the war. Even boots on the ground failed to demoralize the Vietcong. Many analysts have said that carpet bombing provides the initial advantage, but as retaliation evolves and guerilla warfare starts, that advantage is soon lost. The USA did not even manage to gain any semblance of control in South Vietnam. The USA tried to hold on for 20 long years in Afghanistan yet had to flee with tails between its legs after such a long spell. Victory depends more on the tenacity and strategy of the people fighting against the invaders, not about shouting 'mission accomplished' slogans on board navy ships. If USA enemies lost the will to fight, like in Venezuela, that cannot be taken as the norm. The Iranians are willing to fight, having been imbued with this mentality for more than 40 years, as this has been an existential fight for their survival. The Iranians have no choice against someone trying to take away that choice for survival.

Any escalation of the war is bound to set the whole Middle East in flames and goodbye to the oil for years. This will affect every country, even the USA itself and could be more than just a recession and more like a global depression that most of us had never experienced before. Release of stockpiles of oil will do nothing to alleviate the situation, and moreover, how long can such release be sustained? One month? Two months? After that, what?

Countries that produce oil like Russia have their hands full providing for domestic demand and exporting to friendly countries. Who are the friendly countries by the way? And Russia probably will demand payments in Yuan. The USA is already freaking out when Venezuela and Iran are selling oil to China in Yuan and what it will do to the US$ hegemony. Go figure it out.

End American presence will solve Hormuz problem

They still think that cutting a canal across the UAE will solve the Straits of Hormuz problem. It will solve nothing. The Persian Gulf is still at the mercy of the Iranians. How long is cutting the canal going to take? Most optimistic scenario - one year? Two years? By which time the whole world would be in serious recession.

Would they still talk of having escorts, one escort per tanker? Iran can sink both of them and the US$300 billion investment is going nowhere in solving the problem.

Want to solve the problem? End the war on Iran's term, remove the USA from the Middle East and it will be back to normal. But no way, as Trump and Netanyahu need a war to survive. They need a scapegoat to remain in the Middle East. The USA needs to control the Gulf states, especially the oil flow which sustains the US$ hegemony. Pricing oil in Yuan means the end of the Petrodollar. Clear and simple.

But one thing is certain. The USA remaining in the Middle East means the war will continue, the ending unknown. Even if the USA succeeds against all odds in overcoming Iran with boots on the ground, how long can the USA continue being the occupier fighting a guerilla war like in Vietnam. Iran already warned of setting the whole Middle East on fire. And that spells a prolong curb on the oil flow.

Is Iran the 'Leading State Sponsor of Terrorism?

 

41 min revealing the evilness of the Americans and details of CIA covert operation against the Arabs and Muslims and the world in general. The world needs more of such reports to tell the truth behind the real terrorists that have been misleading the world that terrorists are wearing a turban on their heads and have long beards. The real terrorists are those in suits and ties, clean shaven and walking around pretending to be civilised men. The details of the revelation are an eye opener to the unthinking and brain dead, hopefully making them to think and to revive their dead brain cells. The most cruel and evil terrorist organisation is the CIA, with teams just to go out to kill and get promoted for the number of kills they conducted.

Who are the real terrorists? The Anglophiles have been fed for centuries on western narratives that they are the good guys and the rest of the world are the bad guys. The real terrorists are the imperialists, the colonialists that departed from Europe to conquer the world, kill their leaders, plundered their countries, massacred their people and enslaved them to feed their empires. The western narratives taught to the Anglophiles are that the conquerors were the good guys that came to civilise them, to educate them to make them better human beans. 

The truth, they started on the basis that the white men are the men of God, the coloured people are the animals, subhumans, uncivilised. If they are willing accept the white men as their masters and the white men's God as their God, they will be spared. If not, they will be massacred like animals, no mercy, no crocodile tears. If in doubt, go read the history of the massacres and genocides conducted by the white men around the world.

The authority of the white men to kill coloured people came from the church, the Vatican. There was a papal bull called the Doctrine of Christian Discovery that approved and blessed the white men to kill the subhumans, ie the coloured people. Don't believe, check it out. But it is alright if silly coloured people still choose to be brain dead, unthinking, and did not want to know the truth.

Iran, Gaza, the whole of the Middle East and what is happening in Latin America are modern day colonialism and imperialism being repeated, where the white men spread fake news and lies to justify their killings of coloured people, calling the coloured people as animals, bad people, and the butchers that are doing the killings as the good guys, praying to their God and Jesus for help and protection to conduct the killings of coloured people. And the Anglophiles just turned away, did not want to know.

This is the 21st Century, open your eyes to really see, open your ears to really listen. It is not difficult to see the truth, to know who are the devils, the bad guys. See who is holding the weapons and blood dripping from their hands. They cannot be the good guys!

God is kind and allowing the free people to see with their own eyes all the savage killings that are happening right before their eyes, in their living rooms, no need to hunt for the truth. Modern media is all there to tell the truth, but with the devils spreading the lies. You are free and given the ability to find your own truth, unless you choose to live in lies and in fear of the truth.

There are many honourable and good men and women like Chris Hedges that are paying heavy prices to bring the truth to you. Do not let their efforts go in vain. Evilness cannot triumph over goodness. Evilness will live in the heart of the evil ones that believe in evilness is goodness.

Donald Trump and his gang are Satan incarnate. God is so kind to make it so simple to see what evil is. America today is the manifestation of everything evil. Only the very dull and dense, and the evil, will fail to see it. Evil begets evilness. Evil will choose Satan as their God, to kill and kill for fun, the way of the devil. Listen to every word Trump said about killing Iranians. We will all all of them. These are words of Satan, not God. And Netanyahu and his Jews said they have to wipe out every Arab. And there are Arabs, like the Anglophiles, just turn away, did not want to know.

Israel is the 21st Century Dien Bien Phu

 The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was a trap set up by the superior French colonial forces in Vietnam to try to defeat the weaker Viet Minh forces in 1954. The Viet Minh then were fighting the French using guerilla tactics, hit and run, fight at night and sleep in the day in the deep jungle. The French found it difficult to chase the Viet Minh in the deep jungle. So they set up a trap to lure the Viet Minh in an all out battle in the open. Dien Bien Phu was in the centre of a valley surrounded by mountains from a distance. 

The French strategy was to use Dien Bien Phu as a bait, sitting in the centre of a plain, believing that an attack by the Viet Minh would end up in a slaughter. The French had superior weapons, big guns, artillery, cannon, tanks etc waiting for the Viet Minh. The French believed that the Viet Minh did not have the weapons with enough range to hit them from the safety of the mountains and jungles. The only way to fight the French was to launch an attack by charging into Dien Bien Phu. The French just simply sat it out, just waiting for the Viet Minh to come after them and to be slaughtered.

What the French did not bargain for was that the Russians and Chinese could supply them with heavy weapons, artillery etc that could hit the French position without the French being able to hit them. The French became sitting ducks, being hammered by the Viet Minh surrounding them and thoroughly beaten. A grand plan based on arrogance and the belief in their own superiority was turned around to defeat the French forces by a supposedly poorly equipped Viet Minh force.

Israel is today like Dien Bien Phu, sitting comfortably in the midst of Arab and Muslim states, believing in its own superiority and arrogance, that it can hit the Arabs and Muslims and the latter unable to hit back at Israel. The last 30 days of missile and drone attacks by Iran said it all. Iran is fully capable of hitting every corner of Israel and Israel could not do very much against an Iran almost the size of India and strategically protected by mountain ranges. 

The full impact on Israel as the Dien Bien Phu is when all the Arab and Muslim states start to send all their missiles and drones into Israel. When it happens, Israel will be pummeled to debris, worse than the Gaza. The range and destructiveness of modern weapons are many times more powerful than in the days of Dien Bien Phu. Nothing can save Israel. Israel cannot last half a day on such an all out attack. There will be no Israel to talk about. There will also be no Israelis around. The reach of the weapons of all the Arab and Muslim states would be more than enough to submerge Israel like the Great Flood, but this time it would not be water but fire power.

Diego Garcia can also be Dien Bien Phu with modern weapons. Modern weapons have changed the equation of military tactics and strategies.

Japan looking for dumping grounds for its ICE and hybrid cars

 Asia’s EVolution: How Mongolia became a dumping ground for Japan’s hybrid electric vehicles

Over the decade, Mongolia has been flooded with cheap, end-of-life hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) from Japan. The final instalment of a CNA series on Asia’s EVs looks at how the country could be turning into a green technology dumping ground....

Mongolia is awash with cheap, end-of-life hybrids imported from Japan once they have served their purposes on tamer urban streets.

They can be found in every corner: from the jammed avenues of Ulaanbaatar to the depths of the Gobi Desert.... In 2025, exporter listings show a ten-year-old Prius selling for roughly US$3,000-US$8,000 at source. CNA

The end of the road for ICE and hybrid cars as EVs are now the preferred choice when oil is hitting more than US$100 per barrel. The Japanese automobile industry, the main bread winner of Japan, is dying. Same goes to the American and European car industries. Japan is doing its best to dump whatever available in Mongolia. Now it is used hybrid. Next it will be new ICE cars, Toyota, Honda, Nissan etc etc, when they cannot be sold anywhere else. Japan cannot dump the hybrid in Africa as the cost of transportation will be more than the selling cost of a used car. China is also dumping all its manufactured ICE cars in Africa for a song. Soon China will not be making any ICE cars once the old stocks have been exported. It still makes sense in Africa for ICE cars as many part did not have charging stations for EVs. But this window is closing with Chinese companies putting up a network of charging stations across Africa.

Another big graveyard for unsaleable ICE cars is America. There are billions of them, old and new and finding no buyers. Most would be sold as scraps or junk for their steel.  The drawback, no more steel mill in America and these scraps will just pile up in huge dump sites with no where to go.

The death of the ICE industry and the shutting off the source of this lucrative revenue from America, Japan and Europe will take its toll with grave consequences to their economies.

Americans won by saving a pilot. Iran won by shooting down at least 9 aircraft

Trump is boasting about the success regarding the rescue of a crew from an F15 jet shot down over Iran. It is claimed that Israel is involved and the CIA is also involved. There is now a propaganda war between USA and Iran about what constitutes success and the price being paid.

According to Iran, four USA planes were shot down during this mission, two Blackhawk helicopters and two others. The USA denied such losses as would be expected. Amidst such denials, what is glaring is the fact that there was an admission later, that a plane or planes were stuck and had to be destroyed, how many has not been specified. When denial is impossible with evidence going to be exposed, this self-destruct mantra must be the best alternative. Same as claiming friendly fire that brought down two other planes in Kuwait, three F18s. Nothing to do with Iran of course. Ahem, friendly fire cannot be used inside Iran of course, so a different mantra must be invented in order not to lose face. And if the loss of the four planes is true, it was truly a costly mission to rescue one man.

This was the same scenario when they tried to rescue some important personnel at the underground bunker of a Steel plant in Eastern Ukraine and Russia took out about five rescue helicopters, with the rescue mission unable to succeed. It was a heavy price to pay.

Americans erect blockades, China bypasses blockades

There are now in fact three main crude oil pipelines serving China. From the North is the Power of Siberia from Russia, feeding China with about 30 million tons capacity a year. To the West runs the China-Kazakhstan crude oil pipeline with a capacity of 30 million tons a year. To the South runs the China Myanmar crude oil pipeline with a capacity of 22 million tons a year. These are energy supplies, small it may be, created to avoid all the choke points, which China is seriously working out its strategy.

The blockade strategy by the USA had been around for decades, created solely for the purpose of suffocating China. China saw and understood the evil agenda of the USA and had all along been doing its best to overcome this National Security issue.

China's heavy investments into high speed rails, migrating its dependence on ICE vehicles to EVs with huge incentives being trotted out has been very successful to say the least. It was not a scheme created to end in failure. This has saved China from heavy reliance on imported fossil fuel, which has plateaued off over the last few years. Before that, the growth of imported fossil fuel was exponential, being needed to feed China's manufacturing appetite. Analysts are expecting China's reliance on crude oil to even decline in the coming years. This is possible with China's huge investments in renewables and its own expansion in the oil extraction sector at home.

Tests for the brain dead, unthinking and the stupid

 Get the fucking Strait open, you crazy bastards ...they would be "living in hell" if they did not comply....We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.

These are the words of civilised leaders from civilised country. And 77 million supporters are very proud of these leaders. Whatever you feel about these words defines what you are. Whether you are brain dead, unthinking or stupid, you should know better. Only you know what you are. No need to tell anyone.

Below is a 10 min clip that speaks for itself. It is also a test for brain dead, unthinking and stupidity. View it and find out who you are. 'Abby Martin Went To Israel. IT'S WORSE Than You Think'.

The arrogance and over confident Israelis are now torn to pieces by the Iranians

 For decades, the Israelis have been spreading the narrative that they are invincible, with the best technology, the best aircraft and best defence systems. For a while, the Arabs and Muslims were in awe and in fear of fighting the Israelis. The rest of the world also believe in this myth. The Israelis became so arrogant and confident of themselves, that they are the new hegemon of the Middle East, whacking any Arab and Muslim state at their whims and fancies, assassinating their leaders, massacring the Palestinians with impunity. All the Arab and Muslim states live in fear of the Israelis backed by the American terrorists.

It was standard playbook of the Israelis to regularly conduct pruning and lawn mowing exercises, attacking Arab and Muslim states to cut down their population, disrupt their economies, to keep them weak and insecure. This year is Iran's turn for pruning. Without hesitation, Netanyahu, full of arrogance and pride of the invincibility of the Israeli terrorist military might, backed up by the American terrorists, launched a massive attack on Iran on 28 Feb, thinking that they could smash Iran and kill as many Iranians as they could in a few days.

This time things were different. Iran is well prepared and have strong backers. As they said, pride comes before a fall, and over confident army is bound to be defeated. Everything is going wrong to the American and Israeli terrorists. Not only that they failed to force Iran to go down to beg for mercy, Iran is throwing everything it got at the Americans and the Israelis. The over confident Netanyahu had underestimated the Iranians, and as usual thinking and believing that it will be another excursion into Iran and can exit safely.

Israel is now facing the worst bombardments from the IRCC daily, a few waves per day, tearing through the so called invincible Iron Dome. Every Israeli city is being hit, every military installation and critical infrastructure are also being hit like no tomorrow. What is happening in Israel is unprecedented. The Israelis never believe that this day will come to them, when they will be whacked in the same way they had been whacking the Arab and Muslim states all the while. The Israelis are now living in fear everyday, everywhere, sirens wailing 24/7. How could this be? The confidence of the Israelis have been shattered. They have come to realise that the Israeli military can no longer protect them, the Americans also cannot protect them. Israel is no longer a safe haven where Israelis can go on their lives as if nothing is happening while the American and Israeli terrorists were bombing and killing Arabs and Muslims. The Israelis are now the target in every corner of Israel, can be killed any moment, anywhere.

Life is not going to be the same again. To be safe, it is better to flee Israel on the next available flight. The small piece of land called Israel has been turned into a death trap for all Israelis. Thanks to the two clowns in Netanyahu and Trump. All good things must come to an end. The party in Israel is over. Run for your life if you still can catch a flight out.

All the Israeli and American myths are just myths. Do not think your enemies are always sleeping and stupid and waiting to be killed by you. The Iranians and Arabs and Muslims are also ancient Civilisations with a lot of history and wisdom. They have bided their time and they are turning the tide. The Arab and Muslim world has awaken and there is no way to put the genie back into the bottle. 

When this is over, there will be no American or Israeli left in the Middle East for sure.

No oil and free passage for 7 + 20 countries

 SINGAPORE: Washington has been in a diplomatic back-and-forth with its disgruntled allies over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s blockade of the waterway has disrupted fuel supplies, with Asian countries bearing the brunt because of their dependence on Middle East oil.

On Mar 14, United States President Donald Trump called on countries, including US allies Japan and South Korea, to send ships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite initial resistance, seven countries issued a joint statement on Mar 19 expressing their “readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait”.

Japan was a signatory of that statement, but South Korea was not. While Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae met Mr Trump in Washington, affirming that Tokyo would cooperate on achieving peace and stability in the Middle East, Seoul has appeared more circumspect. It only spoke out later, joining more than 20 countries in condemning Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.  CNA

The American terrorists have terrorised 7 + 20 countries, likely their allies and cronies, to be complicit in the killing of Iranians and be anti Iran.  In reality, no one would want to be dragged into this primitive terrorism by the American terrorists. Now that Trump has grabbed their hands to catch poisonous snakes, these countries would now be bitten by poisonous snakes for sure. This is standard American playbook, to drag their allies and cronies to commit war crimes and die with them. These silly countries would no longer be able to condemn the Americans on grounds of principles as they are equally guilty.

Who are the 7 + 20 silly countries that are going to become accomplices to the American and Israeli terrorists in the killing of Iranians? They will pay a very heavy price for it. For a start, their ships will not be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz, will be attacked and sunk. And no oil for them. Not only their economies will be hurt, their people will also suffer for this spineless stupidity.

Wait for the American terrorists to splash their names on the front page of American and western media to make sure they are sunk deep into this quagmire. They deserve it for becoming American stooges. They cannot hide this silly complicity for long. The Iranians already know. They are only trying to hide it from their own citizens for this shameful and evil act, to kill Iranians.

Trump and Hegseth are basically as stupid as lampposts. With these two clowns, America does not need enemies

This is more or less the same as what the eunuchs did in China in the old days that led to the collapse of Dynasties. They had such a hold on the emperor by giving the emperor false reports to demonize and get rid of opponents. When the emperor was stupid, the plan works perfectly, but the Dynasty suffers and collapse eventually when real talents are removed. Trump and Hegseth are basically as stupid as lampposts. And they are not the only ones within the administration destroying the country.

Suffice to say, the USA will not end well with chosen leaders that do not know what is good for the country and how best to keep talents who are even apt to disagree with views that are a danger to the country. That such talents are almost always removed most of the time says a lot about the state of the USA. It is little wonder that people say that the truth hurts. But the truth hurts people who are corrupt who do not listen to logic and unable to handle the truth.

Trump needs an ongoing war to help him remain out of reach of the long arm of the law and a distraction from the Epstein files, the same reason that is fueling Netanyahu's need for war to keep him outside the reach of the Justice system.

Iran is a thorn in the side of the USA and Israel

 The only 'mission accomplished' is creating economic problems for the global community. I still believe China buying Iranian oil has something to do with it. Things were running normally regarding oil from the Persian Gulf. USA and Israel started the conflict that created the Straits of Hormuz problem. And it had the cheek and audacity to ask other countries to do their part to clean up its mess.

Did the USA even had the curtesy to consult those countries or even the Gulf states before attacking Iran? Diarrhea-mouth Trump talks about wanting a surprise attack when he was already moving aircraft carriers and logistics to the Middle East, all glaring hints of what is to come. He thought the Iranians are blind and cannot figure out what he was doing. Even a three-year old knows what is on his mind.

Iran knows the agenda of the USA for more than forty years. Iran was and is a thorn in the side of the USA and Israel in the Middle East. Iran would already have the bomb if not for religious constraints that prevented its ambition. This was even admitted by USA leaders who told the truth and removed from office as it runs counter to the war-mongering mindset of the neo-cons in the administration. But they made it sound catastrophic by inventing the lie that Iran just needed two weeks to make the bomb.

When politicians are bought by foreigners and do the bidding of foreign countries

 It is so crazy, unbelieveable, that the world's most powerful country, can be bought by the Israelis to do their bidding, even sending their boys and girls to die for Israel. This is not happening to small, poor third world countries, but the richest and most powerful country, the USA. And more intriguing, the hillbillies and rednecks did not see anything wrong with it. They are very happy about it! Clown Trump and drunk Hegseth are going to put boots on the ground, 50,000 American boys and girls offered as sacrificial lambs to the slaughtered by the Iranians.

Can anyone understand what this means to a small country like Singapore? This is a very serious and important lesson for Singapore and Singaporeans. Singapore has done the right thing. Singaporeans, especially politicians, must not be beholden to foreign countries, being paid by foreign countries to do their bidding, and worst, against the interest of Singapore.

So far so good, that Singapore's politicians are not owned by foreigners, not paid by foreigners. This is treason and cannot be tolerated. In the past, or in some countries, traitors would be executed. In Singapore, they will spend time behind bars.

In America, the traitorous politicians, ie senators and congressmen and women, are getting rich and living a great life, with no sense of guilt, and very proud about it. And they openly fly to Israel to kiss the ass of the Israeli leaders, to prove their loyalties.

No wonder America is now a colony of Israel, owned by Israel and everything at the disposal of Israel. Can America be great again? The daft hillbillies and rednecks did not even know what is happening to their country.  What a joke!

Can you imagine what would happen to Singapore if politicians are owned by foreign countries like America?

The rise and rise of Arab and Muslim powers

 Pakistan was the first to make the world noticed the rise of Arab and Muslim powers. Pakistan has always been bullied and under the threat of India, a much bigger and supposedly more powerful state. When India launched Operation Sindoor, it was a calculated move to wipe out the Pakistani Air Force.  India believed in its overwhelming military superiority over Pakistan, and especially after acquiring the overhyped Rafale fighters from France. India believed it was a game changer and wanted to teach the Pakistani a lesson they would not forget. 

No one believed the Pakistanis stood a chance against this self proclaimed super power, India. Pakistan also did not believe they could fight back against the powerful Indians and world best Rafale fighter aircraft. As they said, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The underrated and often dismissed Chinese weapons and aircraft by the West were put to the test with the overhyped always claimed to be the best western weapons and aircraft. Based on papers and western media, it must be a walkover for India.

The world was shock into disbelief when Pakistan shot down 6 to 8 Indian fighters, including world best Rafales, in a single battle of less than an hour. India was shock, Pakistanis were even more shock. They did it, defeated the fictitious might of the make belief India Air Force with their make belief world best Rafales. The rest is history. Pakistan is now a well respected fighting force, proven in battle against a supposedly much powerful and better equipped India. Everyone is looking up to Pakistan, not India.

Now, in slightly more than a month, Iran alone, singlehandedly took on the two most powerful terrorist states in the world, America and Israel and not only standing, but whipping the two terrorist states into disbelief and shock. How could this happened? The Americans threw almost everything they had at Iran in the first 3 days of this war and thinking that was all they needed to do to force Iran to surrender. Iran did not and fights on and getting stronger by the day. 

The American and Israeli terrorists are now being hit like no tomorrow, running and hiding in bunkers like little Mickey Mouse. All the American bases and billion dollar military installations have been take out by the Iranians. All American bases, supposedly their strategic launching pads against Iran, had been flattened and rendered unusable. And the mighty American Navy, with invincible aircraft carriers and destroyers have fled from the scene. Too afraid to get near and be neutralised by the Iranians. The same go to the Israelis, all their military bases and big cities have been targeted day and night and pummeled to the stone age, quoting Trump. 

The mighty and cocky Israelis, supposedly invincible, very clever fighters, have their masks of invulnerability torn off. The Israeli boys and girls are dying and crying. They all also Mickey Mouse. Iran has proven itself, no longer weak and waiting to be bombed and beaten. Iran can hit back just as hard. It is not the Iranians that are going to surrender. It is Trump that is going to surrender, begging for ceasefire, to end the war. Every American in the Middle East has been told to leave for their own safety. The evil American Empire can no longer protect them from Iranian fire.

Not only the Pakistanis and Iranians have proven themselves as worthy military forces, the one that stands out most glaringly are the Houthis. This slipper militia, not meant to be disrespectful, have shown how good they are fighting the world's number one and number two terrorist states and not losing an inch of their ground. Can you believe that? They have closed the Red Sea by controlling the Strait of Bab El Mandeb to the Americans, Europeans and Israelis. This is unbelieveable. What they have is the will to fight against the bullies and oppressors. If the Houthis can do it, wait for the Turks, Egyptians and Saudis, all armed to the teeth with the latest weapons available. They are no longer buying doctored and compromised weapons from the Americans and the West, toys made specially for them. They are now getting real weapons from China and Russia. Wait for them to enter the war.

The Hezbollah, some thought they have been written off, are coming back with a vengeance. They are taking down Israeli tanks in the hundreds, ambushed and killed Israelis in the hundreds. This is the new reality.

The big moment is coming, when the American terrorists are forced out of the region, when the Israeli air force are out of action, unable to fly or bombed out, then all the powerful Arab and Muslim states will come in and finish the job the Iranians started. No more American presence in the region, no more Israel. Palestinians would retake their homeland in full, in its original state. The Arab and Muslim states are preparing for this day, all armed and ready for the Armageddon in Israel.

For the smart Israelis, it is better to get out of Israel now while they can. The writing is on the wall. The Arab and Muslim states have risen and will swallow them up at any moment. Run while you still can. Lunatic Netanyahu will not allow them to leave. He needs them to be his cannon fodder when the Arabs and Muslims start their counter attack in force. Not a single Israeli will be left alive, like what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians in Gaza. It would be the turn of the Israelis to be wiped out...for good in Palestine, in the Middle East.

The Arab and Muslim states will come out from this war as another pillar in the new multipolar world.

PS. The latest downing of 6 to 8 American aircraft in one operation, including F15, Apache choppers, 2x C130s, A10 and Little Birds, holycow, how did the Iranians did it! All these aircraft down within 36 hours. And to save a badly injured colonel ejected from the F15, the Americans had to spend US$2b and risking the lives of several hundred American elite soldiers just to take him out safely.  As usual, liar Trump claimed victory and no American killed or wounded in the operation. Can you believe that? Iran is going to be a hell hole for the Americans, not like the defenceless Afghans. Don't expect to walk out alive or no hurt once inside Iran.

Strategy versus no strategy warfare

 Just because Pakistan is attempting to mediate does not mean that Iran is begging for peace and negotiation., which Trump is trying to tell the world. Trump can fart as much as he likes, just like the farting over negotiations with the Chinese, with all the done deals that were just imaginary scenarios from a bankrupt mind.

Trump farted about ending the war withing 4 to 5 days with another fart extending to 4 to 5 weeks. As that fart evaporated and foul the air, the war is still on. It never seems to be ending soon. He farted about having destroyed the air force, naval force and taken out all the weapons of the Iranians. It still never stopped the Iranians from retaliating. How is that possible when Iran has been practically destroyed?

For all we know, Iran does not even have a credible air force and naval force to reckon with in the first place. Iran knows challenging the USA in the air and at sea is a losing proposition. Iran concentrated on producing effective weapons to fight a 21st century war, like the Chinese, where projection of power by aircraft carriers is being decimated by hypersonic drones and missiles. As the range of those hypersonic missiles increase and aircraft carriers having to move further away from shorelines, it defeats the whole concept of aircraft carriers launching fighter jets from its deck to carry out carpet bombing. Fighter jets probably do not have the range to fly missions and return to the deck of those carriers. Moreover, countries like Sri Lanka do not allow USA fighter jets to make use of its airbase to launch bombing missions against Iran as requested by the USA. Logical thinking does not need precedence.

As I said before, China learned much from Iran in its strategy fighting this war. China is using this war to test its eye in the sky, its hypersonic weapon's effectiveness, it's resilience in the face of energy blockade that has been the focus of the USA. All these are basically dry runs before the real thing being studied by China. China is building up its self-dependence in energy, going big time into renewals and cutting dependence on fossil fuel. China is tapping into nuclear, hydro, solar and wind energy to prepare for the day when blockades occur. Now, China gets its oil via pipelines from Russia, by rail from Iran and building facilities for Middle East oil via Pakistan. Each five- year plan are small steps but a big leap for China.

Clown Trump is living in yesterday's technology, systems and ideas

Make no mistake. Trump is still boasting every day about the USA having the all-conquering military in the world. But the reality hits the global community like a bolt of lightning when they see USA aircraft carriers having to move away from the Straits of Hormuz for fear of being taken out.

That is something the USA would not do thirty years ago. Then, the USA sent two aircraft carriers through the Taiwan Straits in 1995 and taunt China to respond. It was a humiliation and China spent the next thirty years figuring out a way to deal with such a threat.

It was to jolt China into finding a solution to the aircraft carrier problem and it was the beginning of the impetus that created the Chinese DF series of aircraft carrier killers, some capable of travelling at Mac 10 with AI controlled maneuverability that defies jamming. This has in turn turned the tables around with the USA now figuring out how to deal with such DF missiles travelling at hypersonic speed and approaching vertically from above, while interceptors were created to handle missiles coming from the sides.

China has deployed such DF warship killers all along its Eastern Coastline making sure that no USA aircraft carriers would dare to taunt China again unlike in the past.

Why was Army Chief of Staff, Randy George removed?

 Drunkard Pete Hegseth removed the Army Chief of Staff and several other generals in his latest drunken stupor. This guy that Clown Trump picked from a bar after having a drink with him now stands high and mighty against the American general corp, taking them down one by one like downing whisky. No need to think, no need to care or fear of any consequences. Drunkard only fears when the alcohol effect left him.

Hegseth has effectively destroyed the lives and careers of professional soldiers after a few drinks. These men and women dedicated a life time to their profession and in protecting America, but could simply be flushed down the toilet bowl by a drunk without doing anything wrong. Quite pathetic really. Maybe this is Clown Trump and drunkard Hegseth telling the generals who is the boss.

What could be the real reason for this drastic and reckless move against the generals when America is in the midst of a war with Iran and facing defeat? I can only volunteer a possible explanation of how it all started. Clown and drunkard, without any war experience, without knowing how a war is fought, just want to attack Iran bomb Iran to the stone age and kill all the Iranians...ordered by Netanyahu.  In their shallow thinking, the American military might is so powerful that it only takes 4 or 5 days to bomb the Iranians into surrendering to every demand of Clown Trump. When this is found to be unworkable, and when Iran hit back just as hard, the idea of a simple victory vanished and Clown Trump and drunkard Hegseth faces turned red. They could only think of doubling down, send boots on the ground to invade Iran.

Here comes the crunch. The generals could go along with aerial bombarbments with drones and Tomahawk missiles without risking the lives of their men. Putting boots on the ground is an entirely different proposition. In the first place, the attacking force needs a 3 to 1 ratio advantage in men and weapons to think of a possible victory. Clown Trump and drunkard Hegseth cannot understand this principle. To these two simpletons in war, just send in the boys and girls to do the job, it is so easy. 10,000 men, 50,000 or a bit more will do the job. If not, send in more. At most the American boys and girls just come home in body bags. The Clown and drunkard did not know what is responsibility and accountability. And if American boys and girls were to die, blame it on the generals. The Clown and drunkard are just two queers talking nonsense in the White House and did not have to be responsible for anything, losing war, getting American boys and girls killed to them were just games they are playing with.

The generals very likely told the Clown and drunkard that to attack Iran and to have any hope of winning, they will need at least a million men and women on the ground, and also with the protection of air power. America cannot put even 500,000 boots on the ground, and no air cover. This has been proven when all American bases in the Middle East have been turned to rubble. There is no way for America to win a war against Iran with boots on the ground. The generals stood firm, no way. It cannot be done.

The Clown and drunkard cannot take no as an answer from the generals. Both think they are smarter than the daft generals. The only thing left to do is to remove them immediately and replace them with generals that are more amicable or meek and would send American boys and girls to be killed in Iran. 

If this theory is the reason behind the sacking of the generals, it will be confirmed by the next move from the Clown and drunkard, send the 50,000 boots into Iran and praying that God and Jesus would help them to win this simplistic war game.  Put down your bets if the Clown and drunkard will be ordering boots on the ground, and buy the stocks of body bag companies. There will be big orders for more body bags. There will definitely be silly generals that will go along with the Clown and the drunkard. A handful of generals will be promoted just to do the job.

Who should be running out of missiles? Who is bleeding more?

 At the start of this conflict, what were the stockpiles of missiles available to the three combatants, ie America, Israel and Iran? For the Americans, only those available in the Middle East were to be counted. Though no official numbers were available, very likely Iran will have much more than the Americans and Israelis as they have been preparing for this moment for years. On the other hand, the American and Israeli terrorists have been fighting non stop wars and expending their weapons and missiles and could not have more missiles than the Iranians.

Conservatively, lets assumed, just assuming for ease of comparison, that Iran has the same number of missiles as the Americans and Israelis combined at the start of this conflict. The general understanding is that for every missile heading to Israel and American assets, the defenders need to fire two to three missiles to ensure a successful hit. This means an equation of 1:2 or 1:3 consumption rate. For every missile Iran threw at the Americans and Israelis, they need to throw up 2 to 3 missiles to intercept the incoming missiles. Who is expending more missiles is obvious.

Added to this problem, the Iranian production rate is reported to be much higher than the Americans and Israelis. Another factor favouring Iran, China, Russia and North Korea are also sending new supplies of missiles to Iran. Who is going to be depleted of their missile supplies needs no guessing.

The other equation is the cost of the missiles. Everyone is shaking his head at the cost of American and Israeli missiles used to hit the Iranian missiles and also drones. It is an insane joke. Just like the UK pilot celebrating his success in bringing down two drones with two AIM missiles. He was very happy and proud of this mission without knowing the math. He did not know that it was throwing money at each other, and who is throwing away more.

Trump and Netanyahu are panicking with their missiles running out. Trump even signalling that he has to call off this war, but warned of using nukes to replace the low missile stocks. In simple financial terms, Iran is bleeding the Americans and Israelis dry. The cost of manufacturing on both sides is beyond comparison, a military joke. Throwing a few millions against a few thousand dollar drones or slightly more expensive missiles is the pride of the Americans and Israelis.

The Americans and Israelis cannot afford this kind of warfare.

Asean states should just send warships to the Strait of Hormuz to please the Americans

KUALA LUMPUR: More Asian countries dependent on energy imports could enter talks with Iran on allowing their ships safe passage in the crucial Strait of Hormuz if the Middle East conflict drags on, analysts say.

But these countries would also have to weigh securing their energy supplies against the optics of accepting Tehran's politicisation of the strait, possibly paying a toll fee and angering the United States, the analysts told CNA.

Iran said it has allowed several countries' ships to cross the Strait of Hormuz since its forces effectively slowed traffic through the narrow sea lane to a trickle during the war, which began in late February.

The list comprises largely Asian states and includes China, India, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia.

The above is quoted from an article by Aqil Haziq Mahmud in the CNA. The tone or intent of the article suggests that Asean countries are not happy with Iran's terms and also afraid of angering the United States. If this is true, then it is likely that some Asean states are considering sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz to protect their tankers, to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Given Asean's powerful military strength, there is nothing to fear about offending the Iranians. It is safer than offending the American terrorists.

Now, which Asean state would be the first to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz voluntarily, to protect its own interests, or be coerced by the American terrorists to do so?  Given the AngloSaxon mentality of Asean leaders, all wanting to kiss the ass of Trump, do not be surprised that Asean will just do it to please the Americans.

What do you think? Can rule out Thailand and Malaysia since they are already given free passage through the Strait.

Trump keeps farting, Iran keeps firing

Trump is still showboating about using force to keep the Straits of Hormuz opened, on the heels of the talk by the Europeans about getting into the act of using their own naval force to wrestle control of the Straits of Hormuz from Iran. How are they going to do that? It will be an exercise in futility.

There were also talk about investing US$200 billion to cut a channel across Oman to avoid the Straits of Hormuz. How about the other problem to be faced by ships sailing within the Persian Gulf that Iran can always target?

Iran's stranglehold control is not just the Straits of Hormuz. It is the whole Persian Gulf per se. The whole coastline of Iran faces the Persian Gulf, where underground bunkers hosting drones, missiles and speedboats are hiding. Furthermore, we have not factor in the possibility of Iran mining the Persian Gulf, not carpet mining, but with sporadic placement of mines. Taking out just one tanker is going to send jitters to shipowners and marine insurers.

Iran is refusing to hold talks in Pakistan. This is probably the fear that Pakistan is unable to provide the security for the safety of its negotiators, just like what happened with Hamas leaders holding talks in Qatar.

Suffice to say, amidst all the boasting and propaganda, the war is not going to end soon. Trump has been switching it on and off while Iran has stuck to its guns that no negotiating is ongoing. Iran has taken leaf from the Chinese by making no comments, just letting Trump fart about done deals and making a fool of himself.

Mission accomplished. Trump - Middle East destabilised. Iran - American bases destroyed

Trump is, as sure as the sun rises from the East, going to proclaim that the USA has achieved its mission in attacking Iran. We knew this was to be the expected mantra he will be chanting, even with a bloodied nose and a massively bruised ego.

What has the USA achieved after more than a month of bombing? Only killing the Iranian Supreme Leader and stoking the Iranian people into a more patriotic stance. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now a martyr, whose death has sparked and rallied massive support for the country to fight the invaders. Was a regime change in the works? More likely a regime change going to happen in the USA and Israel.

The USA has lost more than its reputation fighting this war. All the highly expensive radar installations, some costing billions, have been destroyed. These are the systems providing the eyes for the Patriot and THAAD interceptors with early warning of Iran's incoming drones and missiles. Their destruction crippled the ability of the interceptors to provide cover, with incoming hypersonic drones and missiles denying ample time for those interceptors to respond within minutes or even seconds available. Which is why Iran has been able to target vital infrastructures with ease after those radars were taken out.

USA did a Pearl Harbor surprise on Iran, and Iran returned the favor and gave the USA a Pearl Harbor surprise by taking out its radar systems in the Middle East at the start of the war, something not in script. In fact, Trump was reported to have complained that 'it was not fair' that Iran is responding so aggressively against the USA's surprise attack.

That radar attack at the start of the war practically destroyed the reputation of the USA's ability to provide protection of the Gulf states, despite all the military bases present in the region. Now the Gulf countries knew that depending on the USA's protection umbrella is just a myth already exposed. This has raised the realization that further attempts to antagonize Iran will not bring peace to the Persian Gulf and the oil trade disruption, which probably prevented the Gulf states from retaliating against Iran, despite all the damage.

Apart from the ability of Iran to gain relatively major advantage over such a short time, the war also dispelled the 20th century WW2 mindset of the USA that aircraft carriers still dictate the direction of the war. Early movement of its two aircraft carriers to the Middle East was supposed to force Iran to cower in fear without a fight and gave its enriched Uranium to the USA on a platter.

But such movements of USA aircraft carriers had in fact given Iran the signal to be ready. That USA has more or less still been harboring an obsolete believe in fighting a war of the 21st century using power projection of aircraft carriers, but which turned out to be a delusional mindset, rendered impotent when faced with hypersonic drones and missiles that has truly dictate the direction of the war. In time to come, aircraft carriers can no longer be counted upon to project military power for launching carpet bombing. In any case, carpet bombing has been proven to garner just initial advantages before boots on the ground. The real dictate of victory or defeat comes after that when strategy and ingenuity really matter more. This has already been proven in Vietnam conclusively. And is being proven in Iran as well.

So, Trump can gloat all he wants about his 'mission accomplished' moment to fool the 'dull of mind' hillbillies. The reality cannot be erased by espousing propaganda alone.

Operation Kill Iranians - 36 days and still killing or being killed?

 This Operation to kill Iranians, Arabs and Muslims and to turn the Middle East into a region of chaos and instability is now on its 36 days.  Lunatic Trump is still bragging about how successful it has been, killing Iranians leaders, destroyed Iranian Air Force, Navy, Iranian military infrastructure, destroyed Iranian missile production and launchers. In other words, Iran has been destroyed. The Americans have air superiority, flying all over Iran. Iranians are now hapless and waiting to be slaughtered by the American terrorists.

The Iranians did not brag so much, just telling the American terrorists to come in, launch their boots on the ground, the Iranians are waiting for them. In the broader front, the American Navy, aircraft carriers, destroyers and F18s have been forced out of action, staying far far away for safety. 

The Americans could continue with their attacks using Tomahawk missiles and MQ9 unmanned bombers. But most of these MQ9s had been shot down. The Americans have very few left, or none left. The desperate Americans are now forced to used fighter aircraft and bombers. And the Iranians are shooting them down one by one, F15s, F16s, F18s, F35s, F22s. A10s, E3, KC135s, whatever the Americans flew into Iran they will be taken down. Now Iran is waiting to take down B52s, B2s and B21s. Be very sure that these bombers would be coming down very soon.

On the ground, the Iranians have wiped out practically every American base in the Middle East and their radar stations. Iran now has no American military target to hit, other than hunting down the positions of American troops in the area. Iran is now diverting its attention to American civilian targets like AI and high tech companies and American civilian assets.

While lunatic Trump is claiming that Iran had been destroyed and unable to fight back, Iran is bombing Israel everyday, at least 3 waves a day, hitting military and civilian targets. So, Iranian missile forces destroyed as claimed by the king liar?

While all the American allies have turned down Trump's request to join the fight, only the treacherous Brits have sneakily took up the offer. The Americans have been spreading lies and conducting false flag incidents against the Arab and Muslim states to dupe them into attacking Iran. Again, not a single Arab and Muslim state has taken the bait. They are all quietly supporting Iran to kick out the Americans and the Israelis.

On the other hand, the Arab and Muslim states and organisations are starting to join Iran in the fight. The Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas are increasing their attacks on the Israelis. Iraq is attacking the American bases in their land. Chechen fighters are ready to join the fight. Turkey have decimated Kurd forces heading to attack Iran. The more powerful Arab and Muslim states like Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and those in North Africa are all ready for the kill. They are all armed to the teeth and waiting for the right moment to finish off the Israelis. 

The Americans and Israelis are running out of ammo, morale is very low. American soldiers are showing signs of refusing to fight. So are the Israelis when more and more of them are being killed by the Hezbollah. The Israeli population has had enough, unable to continue with life under constant attack, running in and out of bomb shelters and seeing their cities and homes falling to pieces.

While the supply chains of the American and Israeli terrorists are being stretched to the limits, the supply chains for Iran are smooth flowing, with North Korea just delivered 500 ICBMs. With each day passing, the Iranians get stronger while the Americans and Israelis getting weaker. The American and Israeli populations are going to turn against their warmongering regimes. Protests against the war in America and Israel are getting stronger. However, the support for Iran by the Iranians and the Arab and Muslim states and the world are getting stronger.

The insanity of the regimes in Washington and Tel Aviv have been isolated. World opinions have turned against these reckless terrorists. The economies of many countries, especially American allies that needed Arabian oil are being hit very badly. Many are running out of oil and gas. The more lunatic Trump and Netanyahu open their mouths, the more the world will turn against them. No sane people will tolerate the killing of innocent people for whatever flimsy and silly reasons. This is the 21st Century, not the centuries of European savages, colonialists and Imperialists.

Should the American and Israeli terrorists be sanctioned?

 The American terrorists demanded that countries sanctioned Russia for invading Ukraine, lying that the Russians were the aggressor, not the Americans that started the Ukraine War. Many silly American crony states joined the sanction. For some reasons, no one is talking about sanctioning the American and Israeli terrorists for attacking and invading Iran, for assassinating their leaders, for killing Iranians, for bombing Iran. Neither did anyone condemn the American terrorists for invading Venezuela. Oops, the Americans did not call it an invasion, so it was just a kidnapping of a couple in the Presidential Palace. Did not deserve to be sanctioned?

Oh, Trump also said this is not a war, just a short military excursion in Iran. Even the complicit congressmen and women, and senators agreed and doing nothing to stop Trump. Psst, do not tell the Americans that these are the traitors that have sold out American interests to Israel and now working for Israel, even sending American boys and girls to die for Israel, allowing Israel to take command of the whole American forces to fight Iran and destabilise the Middle East, to impoverish the Arab and Muslim states.

For all these reasons, it is very difficult to find a good reason to sanction the American and Israeli terrorists in their attacks on Iran. It is NOT a war, NOT an attack on another country. So cannot sanction the American and Israeli terrorists. The whole world must take note, if they are to attack or invade another country, do not call it a war. Then there is no justification to be sanctioned by America and its cronies. Unlike Ukraine, so easy to justify sanction, because the American terrorists said so.

The American and Israeli terrorists are never involved in any wars. The genocides in the Middle East and Gaza are not the result of wars, did not violate any international laws or principles. No wonder America and Israel have never been sanctioned. Such peace loving, holy and angelic countries!!! All the hillbillies, rednecks and the brain dead said so.

Even God and Jesus are on their sides in the killing of Iranians. That is very powerful. The God fearing believers must be wetting their pants. They have the most powerful KKK pastors in the Oval Office to bless Trump in his bombing and killing of Iranians, Arabs and Muslims, including little school girls. When God and Jesus are on their sides, who dares to condemn them or sanction them?

Hallelujah, hallelujah. It would be better for Trump to call it a 21st Century Crusade, to kill bad people, animals and he would have more people joining him, may even volunteer to kill the bad people and animals.

What do you think? After the No Kings Day, the American hillbillies and rednecks are just as happy and carefree as before. What war?

Operation Kill Iranians - Trump's primitive mindset to use force

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump threatened Monday (Mar 30) to destroy Iran's oil export hub of Kharg Island, oil wells, power plants and other civilian infrastructure if it does not soon agree to a deal to end the war.

A day after sounding conciliatory and suggesting a deal could be reached this week, Trump wrote on his Truth Social network that the United States is in "serious discussions" with "a more reasonable regime" in Tehran.

But he added an ominous warning.

"If for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately 'Open for Business,' we will conclude our lovely 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinisation plants!)," Trump said.  CNA

Trump's little brain could not come out with anything new except gangster tactics of using threats to kill and destroy. His 15 points deal is nothing but asking Iran to surrender. Iran will have nothing of it and will keep hitting back and getting stronger everyday. Iran is getting the best weapons and technology from China, Russia and North Korea. This is the first time that the latter 3 countries have hardened their resolve to end the American hegemony. Iran is the bulwark of freedom from American and Israeli terrorists. Iran will not fall, cannot fall and will triumph over evil. Even the Pope cannot stand the silliness in Washington praying for God to help them to kill Iranians. The Pope said Jesus had rejected their silly prayers by fake pastors, followers of Satan. Deranged Trump and his KKK pastors should stop disgracing God and Jesus.

Trump can continue with his threat to bomb and destroy Iran. But his weapons and ammos are running low. Iran is being supplied by China, North Korea and also Russia, the former two are running their production lines full steam with no limitation. When the American and Israelis have emptied their magazines, Iran will still have plenty of fire power to keep hitting them.

Trump is threatening to blow up water and energy infrastructure in Iran to cripple Iran. Iran can do the same. Iran now has missiles that can reach the USA. Iran should first go after Diego Garcia, sink everything there. Next, Iran can hit all American bases in Europe. But if the Americans dare to hit Tehran, Iran should go after New York and Washington. They are within range with ICBMs from Trump's good friend Kim. Iran does not need to threaten the Americans. Iran can do it. Iran can hit back where it hurts.

Lunatic Trump - We closed the Strait of Hormuz, now it is your problem

The Straits of Hormuz was free for navigation before the war against Iran. The USA and Israel were the culprits that created the conditions leading to its closure or presumed touted closure. Iran has never officially closed the Straits of Hormuz. It is only deemed closed to unfriendly states and ships associated with unfriendly states. Clear and unambiguous. Friendly states have negotiated access, like China, Pakistan and Malaysia. Why would China want to be involved in sending naval vessels to participate in keeping the Straits of Hormuz open when it already has access to the Persian Gulf? The USA created the problem, let the USA resolve it.

The USA is withdrawing from its failed attempt to use force to keep the Straits of Hormuz open, as no other country, even allies, really believe it will succeed. Not with the costs for escort ships factored in and even insurance provided by the USA. The risk is too great for shipowners, and some are not even wanting to trust the ability of the USA to uphold its insurance provision stance, asking how long it is going to take to be compensated after lodging a claim. The trust in the USA is gone, and ship owners know that for a fact.

The UK is now caught between a rock and a hard place, having tried to be involved in the Iran War by sending military logistics to Cyprus and attempting to send its bathtubs to support Trump and getting insulted in the process. Other European states have stayed away, so Iran will probably not be treating them the same as the UK when the USA departs from the Straits of Hormuz. Trump is adding insult to injury by telling the UK to get its oil on its own.

Having said that, the USA is not completely unaffected as far as oil from the Middle East going through the Straits of Hormuz. The USA still has to import oil for its refineries; the so-called heavy crude as opposed to the light crude that it produces itself, in abundance. The cost of refitting its refineries to accept its own light crude is too expensive, costing billions for each refinery, which prevented the conversion over the years.

So, let us see what happens.

Trump's Mother of all gifts to the Arab and Muslim states

This war will possibly change forever the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, long dominated by the USA with multiple military bases in the region. It could even destroy the US$ hegemony when Middle East oil exporters start selling their oil also in other currencies other than US$, if and when the umbilical cord that links to the USA is cut.

The most important outcome of this war must be that Iran will now openly and officially control the Straits of Hormuz and the resultant oil trade in the Middle East. This must be the 'mother of all gifts' for Iran resulting from the war against the USA and Israel. Call it a blessing in disguise if you will.

Furthermore, it is going to change the mindset of the Gulf countries, having realized that the USA is unable to protect their infrastructures, a myth that they had always been led to believe in for decades. In fact, that myth had already been exposed years ago, when the Houthis attacked a Saudi oil installation using crude rockets which the Patriot interceptors were unable to respond. The irony is that the incident had never been capitalized by others to silence the effectiveness of those Patriot interceptors, and the incident was just quietly swept under the rug. How to when US$ millions or even billions had already been invested in those air defense interceptors

Now the USA air defense myth had been destroyed by Iran and widely exposed. Reports that the Gulf countries are planning to form a collective military umbrella to protect themselves have emerged, the same as the Europeans now moving in the same direction. That is going to change the whole global outlook that had always been fixated on USA military domination to protect them against, should I say, imaginary enemies all along. It is a big issue: a mountain of an issue, being deceptively being watered down into a molehill, but the reality is there for them to see and ponder about. It will result in countries asking about the effectiveness of those Patriot and THAAD interceptors. The bigger question must be about the suspicion of kill switches being applied, as happened in Qatar when Israeli drones were able to target Hamas leaders holding a peace meeting in Qatar regarding the war in Gaza. Qatar was gloated to be very well covered by USA missile defense umbrella, yet unable to deploy them against Israeli drones. Why is that so?

Operation Killing Iranians - The complicit and treacherous Brits opening their mouths to condemn Iran

 UK-led talks demand 'immediate' reopening of Hormuz

“Iran is trying to hold the global economy hostage in the Strait of Hormuz. They must not prevail,” said British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper, calling for an immediate and unconditional reopening of the waterway.

LONDON: A UK-led meeting of some 40 countries on the strait of Hormuz crisis wrapped up Thursday (Apr 2) with a demand for the "immediate and unconditional" reopening of the vital shipping route, but no immediate breakthrough.

"Iran is trying to hold the global economy hostage in the Strait of Hormuz. They must not prevail," British foreign minister Yvette Cooper said in a statement.

"To that effect, partners today called for the immediate and unconditional reopening of the Strait and respect for the fundamental principles of freedom of navigation and the law of the sea," she added.  CNA

As expected from the evil Brits, it must be Iran's fault for closing the Strait of Hormuz. And the silly and unthinking will say yeah, yeah. She said the Iranians were reckless! Bombing of Iran, assassinating their leaders, killing Iranians and little school girls were not reckless, not barbaric, not war crimes? The Iranians are so bad?

Farking Brits trying to mislead the world to go against Iran. And those stupid present in the meeting cannot see it. Who started this criminal and barbaric attack against Iran to kill Iranians and bomb their country? The Strait of Hormuz was free for trade, for all maritime traffic until the American and Israeli terrorists attacked Iran. And some clowns in the meeting suggesting taking tough measures against Iran, quoting Bahrain. No wonder Bahrain is still a colony of the Americans. The good news, this would not be long as their king has fled for his own safety. The people of Bahrain has had enough of being ruled by the American terrorists.

Why not tell the American and Israeli terrorists to stop attacking Iran and killing Iranians? It is so simple, the savages must be stopped from killing the Iranians. And the Strait will be open again. But the white savages did not see anything wrong with white savages killing Iranians, Arabs and Muslims. In the same meeting, many are not white savages but could easily be hook winked by the white savages to think it is the Iranians that are at fault. No one think it is right and proper to slap the AngloSaxon woman for attacking the Iranians and misleading them in their lies.

Let's see how the Brit woman lead this bunch of nitwits into condemning Iran and wanting to start a war with Iran.

One dimensional American forces? Unthinking, just take orders

 The Americans regularly bragged about their world number one armed forces, the best in the world, run by experienced professional generals with tons of war experience. They were the thinking soldiers, the smart soldiers, the soldiers that won wars, not losers.

The experience with Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth and the Operation to kill Iranians said otherwise. It said that the American soldiers, including generals, were fools, duds, blindly obeyimg orders without questions. And more silly is for the professional generals, with a wealth of experience, stupidly taking orders from clowns like Donald Trump and drunkard Pete Hegseth, allowing these two dimwits to kick them around, send them to kill Iranians at their whims and fancies, with fabricated lies as reasons for wars.

So far, the American soldiers have proven to be one dimensional, like robots, just take orders, even from dimwits and clowns. How pathetic can this be. And the two clowns were at liberty to sack any generals they want, insult and demolish the generals to intimidate them.  And what did the generals do, nothing, like robots, waiting for orders, waiting to be kicked around by idiots. What a joke.

Now they obediently and happily sent their boys and girls to the Middle East to be killed by the Iranians and the Arabs and Muslims. Trump said take this island, take the Strait of Hormuz, fly into Iran to bomb and kill Iranians. They said yes sir, yes sir.

So far, only two generals have appeared to be thinking and smarter than the rest. One is the commander of Abraham Lincoln. He saw the danger to his men and fled far into the Indian Ocean. He is not going to be a sitting duck, putting his men at risk, 5,000 of them. But he did not go that far, did not know how far is safe, and Abraham Lincoln still came under fire and reported to be damaged and suffering casualties.

The smartest is the commander of Gerald Ford. He found a perfect reason to keep his men safe and out of the war, in the repair dock of Crete. He or someone in the ship started a fire, or choked the toilet to undermine the operational capability of the carrier and happily declared it was out of service for at least a year. His men are safe and would be very grateful to their commander.

Didn't the generals know what is going on and how silly this war is all about? Didn't they protest or put up resistance when ordered by clowns to send their boys and girls to die? They have 30 to 40 years of experience and cannot be stupidly taking silly orders from clowns, a conman and a drunkard. Or maybe there are just as stupid as Trump, believing in all the lies spilled by Trump, thinking they are going to win this war.

Whatever, the generals are no better than clowns. They should change their profession to become robots in hotels delivering food and items to hotel customers in their rooms. No need any thinking. Just take orders...from clowns that did not know what they were doing, did not know how to fight a war, did not know the meaning of war.

Maybe cannot blame them. They are no match to Trump and Hegseth. See how frightened they looked when Trump and Hegseth spoke to them. Promoted because of DEI, not because of merit. All hoping to kiss Trumps ass to protect their jobs. The war in Iran is illegal, against the Constitution. Trump has no authority to start this war. Oh, Trump did not call it a war, so it is alright for the DEI generals. The generals have all the time and opportunity not to participate in this illegal war. They bragged about protecting the Constitution, swear allegiance to the Constitution, not to kings or clowns or dictators. But when dictator or clowns ordered them to send their boys and girls to die, they meekly did so. They are not protecting the Constitution, they are protecting dictator and clowns. Period.

The DEI generals are equally guilty of violating the Constitution, to participate in an illegal war...and committing crimes not only against the Iranians, Arabs and Muslims, but also against the American boys and girls. The parents and loved ones of dead American boys and girls must sue Trump and his clowns and also the DEI generals for compensation or send them to jail.
