How vulnerable is Singapore?

 There are still many reports hyping about fortress Singapore, how powerful Singapore armed forces are and no one dares to attack Singapore.  These are the brilliant ideas of pseudo military thinkers and strategists. Such baloneys have been exposed as myths and fictions, Hollywood stuff, by the war against Iran.

The mighty American forces, the number one superpower in the world, has been rendered harmless, unable to take on Iran in modern warfare. All the American assets, bases, ports etc etc are all sitting ducks, indefensible. And Iran does not need to send a single soldier to attack these bases and military assets. Iranian soldiers can sit in the comfort of their deep underground bunkers and press buttons, sending missiles and drones to wipe out everything the Americans have within range. The Americans can only hide in hotels or far far away for safety, like Italy and Romania.

Even the mighty game changer, the aircraft carriers, used to threaten every country in the world, have been turned into useless bathtubs. Within missile range, they will be sunk, with the 5,000 soldiers, hundreds of aircraft and all the weapons, maybe nuclear weapons inside the ship. They are now sitting far away from Iran for their own safety. They are prized targets, high value targets that are too costly to lose.

Singapore is a big unmovable aircraft carrier, many times bigger, with many more assets, including all the civilian assets. If enemies of Singapore possess the same long range missiles and precision drones, Singapore too will become an extremely huge sitting duck. All the military bases, air bases, naval bases in Singapore can be wiped off like American bases in the Middle East.  Singapore is more vulnerable today than it is powerful. It can be hit and destroyed without even knowing who is the enemy, where did the missiles come from.

Warfare has changed completely with the Iranian experience. Everything that was supposed to be of value yesterday is no longer of value today.

What do you think? Do you still believe in the conventional narrative that Singapore is an impenetrable fortress, untouchable?

American terrorists doubling down on their war business

 US carmakers could produce missiles – Trump

Washington wants to expand weapons production after reportedly depleting key stockpiles in the Iran war and Ukraine. Published 23 Jun, 2026 18:11 | Updated 23 Jun, 2026 19:15

US automakers could begin producing missiles and other weapons as Washington moves to expand military output and replenish its arsenals, President Donald Trump has said.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump said car companies with spare factory capacity are discussing deals to manufacture weapons, including Patriot air-defense missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

”They’re dealing with General Motors. They’re dealing with Ford,” Trump said. “I know General Motors is all excited about building weapons now.”  RT

The world's number one terrorist state has prospered on the back of wars all over the world, fabricated and masterminded by them for decades. War is big business in America, and the American terrorists cannot do away with wars or their economy will collapse immediately. How to feed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, foreign military bases, 11 aircraft carrier strike groups and thousands of covert operators and mercenaries disguised with the innocent term called contractors? The non stop unending wars created by the Americans must continue at all cost. It is not about winning or losing, it is about prolonging and extending wars after wars.

The American terrorists may not be able to win the wars in Ukraine and Iran. That is not important. They must keep the war business going.  It will not stop them from starting more wars elsewhere, in the South China Sea, in Latin America, against Europe and Canada. As long as it is war, it is good business.

Why make cars that nobody wants? How much can a car cost, $50k, $100k? These are pittance compare to a $100m fighter aircraft, a missile that cost several millions, an aircraft carrier costing tens of billions. Trump is now so happy that General Motors and Ford are salivating to join the Military Industrial Complex to produce more weapons for the American terrorists. They can have more weapons to start more wars, to fight more wars, to kill more people, to make more money.

This is exciting stuff. This is exciting time for the American terrorists and lunatic Trump. Now he can go and wipe out all the Arab and Muslim states in the Middle East, conduct more adventurism in North and Latin America...kill more people and make more money. What a beautiful and profitable enterprise! Have more wars! Can also use war to manipulate the stock market for profits.

The American terrorists will not think of using their spare industrial capacity to build more robots to reenergise and revitalise their inefficient manufacturing processes and factories to make cheaper and better goods. Make more weapons to kill and destroy is the business they are choosing.

When ceasefire is not ceasefire, done deal is not done deal

After the recent outbreak of hostilities, during which the stock market slide and some people bought big into stocks, there is again talk of a meeting in Qatar on Tuesday. Would anyone care to bet that the stock market will yet rise once again, and some people will be making another killing on the stock market. Of course, the ordinary Tom, Dick and Harry have no share of the prosperity afforded by the stock market yo-yo. This is becoming the norm, at least for the duration of the standoff between USA and Iran. Maybe even extending into the rest of Trump's second term.

When is a ceasefire not a ceasefire and a done deal not a deal at all? What kind of a ceasefire are they talking about between Israel and Lebanon when they are lobbing bombs and killing people. What kind of a ceasefire when one side can claim they hold the privilege of attacking the other side during the ceasefire, probably using a false flag to make its case. When no deal can be interpreted as a 'done deal' to move the market, what else is new?

I am beginning to be more convinced that the Lebanon Government is selling out the country to the Israelis, making a deal with Israel with the intention of dismantling Hezbollah, that have been the hurdle preventing Israel from making Lebanon into another Gaza. Nothing brings more harm to a country than leaders selling out the country to the enemy.

Having said that, just look at what is unfolding in Albania over the selling out of the country to the Elites of USA/Israel, intending to make the Sazon Island its doomsday escape destination for its elites, with ready-built underground tunnels built to withstand a nuclear strike, crisscrossing the Island, built by the former Albanian regime. The Albanians have been protesting for almost a month, called the Pink Flamingo Movement, meant to prevent the project from being carried out and endangering wildlife on the island. It all boils down to corruption by the leaders selling out the country to USA and Israel.

Rare earths everywhere, why deep sea mining, why data centres in space?

All these rhetoric about mining rare earth under the sea and in space and building Data Centers in space and on the moon are just to attempt to scare China.

If rare earths are already so abundant on land, why go to such lengths to mine them under the ocean and in space? And then what can they do when China still controls the processing logistics?

If the USA already has so much land to spare for building Data Centers, why go into space to build them? Oh, they said the reason was lack of energy and space has plenty of it. To harness such energy, Musk will have to build solar energy infrastructures the size of which cannot be imagined. Such infrastructures face severe maintenance problems if they break down, unlike on earth. Think about it.

Different ways of solving population problems

When population increased and job opportunities were not there, the Singapore Government even drafted draconian measures with its 'stop at two' mantra. I believe punishment was also mandatory, such as priority for school registration for example. Later, the mantra was changed to tell people to have more children if they can afford to, meaning the rich can have more children, but not the poor. Now, the Singapore Government is throwing incentives for people to have more children, mostly favoring the rich like tax incentives, but such calls have fallen on deaf ears.

China did the same with its one child policy when it was in its poverty- stricken years, which has been demolished as well, yet population growth has not expanded again as expected. The more progress in economic terms a country has reached, the more difficult it is to get people to marry and have children. It is a global issue.

I do not believe India can do that if it were to take a leaf from what Singapore did to curb its population growth. The poorer a country is, the more difficult it is to curb population growth. It is a rather unique feature of human nature.
