Ha, ha, ha, ha and a parting aloha. Scott Bessent is going to collapse the Iranian regime

Ha, ha, ha, ha and a parting aloha.

Scott Bessent is going to collapse the Iranian regime with more sanctions after failing militarily by assassinating the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Desperation knows no bounds.

After more than 45 years of sanctions by the USA, Iran is still standing stronger than ever. Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world today is still going about its business, un-collapsible. Cuba, North Korea and Myanmar have been under sanctions for decades with no sign of a regime change happening or collapsing. Maybe, the USA will collapse before them, with all the economic problems surfacing. Servicing of its monstrous debt costs more than its military outlay, although Trump is trying to spend more on the USA military to increase the debt further. Talk about a drowning man clutching at a straw.

Scott Bessent is warning countries once again about 'either with the US-arse or against the US-arse'. I wonder how many countries went to the USA to kiss Trump's arse since his tariff threat. Must be so many that his arse has grown out of proportion and is the new butt of jokes on social media.

Scott Bessent is asking China to help with the USA sanctions on Iran. Trying to create animosity between Beijing and Tehran must be his objective. The same as trying to split the alliance between Moscow and Beijing over the years. Oh yes, China trusts Iran more than the USA and would not do that for sure. After all, Iran has never threatened China, has oil that China wanted, while the USA has been throwing brickbats against China in every direction. Scott Bessent must think that the Chinese are as dumb as the USA rednecks and hillbillies, falling for his lies and empty threats.

Carrier strike groups are already an obsolete hype-up remains of the WW2

Carrier strike groups are already an obsolete hype-up remains of the WW2, dismantled by the Iranians in this current war in the Persian Gulf. Those carrier strike group need to be close to enemy shores to project power by launching the attack planes to take out enemy logistics. Now, hypersonic missiles take care of the threat by pushing them far out to sea. Those attack aircrafts need enough fuel to fly in and out and the distance makes such air attacks impossible. So, what kind of projection of power are we talking about?

Even if aircraft carriers are parked far out at sea, they are still targets for missiles from shore and with Russian intelligence and Chinese weapons, their location is an open secret and taking them out is no longer impossible when the shit hits the fan. Iran has proven it has missiles with a range of 2,500 to 3,000 mile that can reach anywhere in the Arabian Sea and threatening Diego Garcia.

They carrier strike group hype is still a threat, but it is growing out of fashion. The Russians, Chinese and North Koreans are not just sitting idly by. They are watching, learning and calculating. There is no more necessity to have too many aircraft carriers when a few cheap missiles can turn the tables. China is reported to be making more submarines instead that might be a better alternative.

Oh, lest I forget about those reports that China is even arming container vessels with missiles hidden in containers and fishing boats with missiles that can be turned into warships when needed. Believe it or not is irrelevant. The proof of the pudding is always in the eating when the time comes.

Where do you think these suspicious firms are from?

 Suspicious ‘consulting firm’ website trying to hire former Singapore foreign ministry personnel

SINGAPORE: At first glance, Dr Jade Chan’s resume on the website of the Great Vision consultancy firm looks impeccable.

The self-professed former Singapore diplomat supposedly served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ diplomatic missions in Jakarta, Hanoi and Brussels, and was an adviser at the ASEAN Secretariat. She holds a PhD in international relations from the London School of Economics and has dealt with weighty matters like the South China Sea dialogues and bilateral trade negotiations as part of her “20 years of experience in international diplomacy and strategic analysis”.

But Dr Chan’s claims about being a Singapore diplomat are fabricated. Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in response to queries from CNA that Dr Chan, billed as one of Great Vision’s key leaders, had never worked at the ministry....

CNA also found that the three most recent articles on the Global Asia website reproduced work by Taiwanese and American think-tanks, word-for-word, and without credit. CNA

There are increasing reports of fake foreign websites appearing and targeting Singapore and Singaporeans. And interestingly, these websites will be found to be from certain countries, with links easily traced to certain countries, including the names that said where they are from. The intent is obvious. The country being implicated is obvious. Definitely not from the American terrorists. It must be such countries that are going to damage Singapore and harm Singaporeans.

Big question to ask, which are the countries that are so amateurish to be so easily caught, often red handed or confessing who they are? Which countries have the intention and interest to harm Singapore? Which countries have the most resources allocated to do such works, including false flag incidents? Which countries are the best in website espionage? Would the experts from a state agency be so stupid and elementary to create websites so that they can be easily traced and caught?

There is a saying, if it is too good to believe, beware! If all the fingers are obviously pointing to one source, beware! Watch the originator of such websites and what is their intent, who is to gain and who is to lose from it. Never believe in the media, main or social media. There are so many scams and impersonation. Some countries are spending big money to play this silly game to dupe the silly and stupid to believe their fake stories and narratives.

Who are the gullible and imbeciles that think the provocateurs are so naive and allowing themselves to be caught with their pants down, or with their names written in their foreheads? It is as good as telling everyone who they are. Who is being misled or who is trying to mislead the readers?

Arab and Muslim states looking for independence and self reliance

 Commentary: A new ‘NATO of the East’? Why the Mecca pact isn’t quite what it seems

The agreement signed by Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan is an experiment in regional self-reliance, says this professor. KAMLOOPS, Canada: Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan have signed the Mecca Joint Defence Pact, a new collective defence arrangement that connects the Middle East with South Asia. Its central promise is striking: An armed attack against any one of the three countries will be treated as an attack against them all. This language has prompted comparisons with NATO, whose members make a similar commitment under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.

By bringing together a major global oil producer (Saudi Arabia), a NATO member with an expanding defence industry (Türkiye) and a nuclear-armed state (Pakistan), this agreement has the potential to reshape security dynamics across the Middle East, South Asia and the Indian Ocean. CNA

The Arab and Muslim states are showing signs of independence and wanting to chart their own future. This is a good start. For a long time, all international institutions and organisations were cooked by the Americans to serve the American interests, not the interests of the sucker countries they roped in as members. The Arabs were like the sheep, being led into all sort of silly organisations by the Americans and Israelis, telling them that the organisations are good for them. 

It is good that the Arab and Muslim states are starting to form organisations of their own to serve their own interests. But they must always beware of the American and Israeli terrorists operating behind the curtain to hijack whatever they created. They must always be on guard for traitors, sleepers and moles.

Many international organisations are cropping up without the Americans in them today. Countries of the world have many bad experiences of being played by the Americans inside out and outside in and are wary of the American terrorists. The signs are all there. Where the American terrorists cannot control international organisations they will walk out, stop funding, or start to attack such institutions.

Hope the Arab and Muslim states can find their own feet and chart their own destiny without being the puppets of the American and Israeli terrorists.

What is the threat of this Mecca Joint Defence Pact or who is it directed against? It is high time that the Arab and Muslim states get their acts together, work together as one unified force instead of being played by the Americans and Israelis to fight among themselves and kill themselves for the interests of the Americans and Israelis.

American balls are stuck either between a rock or a hard place

 They assumed that they always are thinking years ahead. But they know the USA debt can never be repaid, and they are still sticking to that belief that it is still the safest bet.

I think their balls are stuck either between a rock or a hard place, so even knowing that it is untenable is of little use. When the balls are stuck like the Arabs and Marcos Jr, what is the alternative. None! Have to keep helping to flog a dead horse and hope it will run again. Now that is a far-fetched hope of utter hopelessness.

Well, what else can we expect from those who are still betting on India. Just imagine that while Air India is losing big money, SIA is still happily plugging the black hole, hoping to profit in the long run. They say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Even angels fear to tread is how serious the warning.

Interest payments on the US$40 trillion debt by the USA are well over a trillion dollars, bigger than the GDP of the top 20 countries of all the 193 countries in the world. More than 170 countries have a GDP well below a trillion, including you know who.

The irony is that having the privilege of unlimited money printing creates an unfairness for the rest of the world and it is time to remove that privilege once and for all. The rest of the world can only have one more chance at doing that through BRICS de-dollarization agenda. That is the only lifeline available going forward. Think about it.
