The US and NATO have never been sanctioned for starting wars. Why?

 

The reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, no matter what you think about it, has exposed the West’s and Singapore's double standards

The West has taken an extreme stance against Russia over its invasion in Ukraine. This reaction exposes a high degree of hypocrisy considering that US-led wars abroad never received the punitive response they deserved.

If the current events in Ukraine have proven anything, it’s that the United States and its transatlantic partners are able to run roughshod across a shell-shocked planet – in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, to name a few of the hotspots – with almost total impunity. Meanwhile, Russia and Vladimir Putin are being portrayed in nearly every mainstream media publication today as the second coming of Nazi Germany for their actions in Ukraine.

There must be a convincing reason for a country to authorize the use of force, thereby committing itself to what could be considered ‘a just war’. Thus, the question: Can Russia’s actions today be considered ‘just’ or, at the very least, understandable?

In his now-famous speech to the Munich Security Conference in 2007, Vladimir Putin poignantly asked the assembled global powerbrokers point blank, “why is it necessary to put military infrastructure on our borders during this [NATO] expansion? Can someone answer this question?” Later in the speech, he said that expanding military assets smack up to the Russian border “is not connected in any way with the democratic choices of individual states.”

The real cause for Moscow’s alarm came when the US and NATO began flooding neighboring Ukraine with a dazzling array of sophisticated weaponry amid calls for membership in the military bloc. What on earth could go wrong? In Moscow’s mind, Ukraine was beginning to pose an existential threat to Russia.

In December, Moscow, quickly nearing the end of its patience, delivered draft treaties to the US and NATO, demanding they halt any further military expansion eastwards, including by the accession of Ukraine or any other states. It included the explicit statement that NATO “shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine or other states of Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia.” Once again, Russia’s proposals were met with arrogance and indifference by Western leaders.

It’s not like Russia woke up on February 24 and suddenly decided it was a wonderful day to start a military operation on the territory of Ukraine.

World War 3 in the making - Raising the stake

 The US and its western allies have been having an upper hand in international conflict, dictating the level of conflict and tension as they like by virtue of their superiority in military power. Whenever there is a conflict, the US and the West would be the coercive power, raising the stake as and when they like to the point of initiating a war, invasion and blasting a country to pieces. The overwhelming military power of the US and the West have turned them into the biggest bully in the international stage, breaking all rules and agreements, committing war crimes, invading countries using fabricate lies and disinformation. with impunity. No one, no country could stop the violations of all rule of law by the US and its allies. Basically the US and its allies call the shot. Period.

Syria was the first instance when this western recklessness was checked, in a similar way the American Empire was checked in the Korean War. Putting put a stop to American and western expansion and military adventure in Syria. The war is still going on but no further intrusion or occupation of more land by the West. Syria was a stalemate, a war that the Americans and the West could not win, unlike the cake walk in Iraq and Libya, and Afghanistan as well. The latter ended up with the American beating a retreat.

Now comes Ukraine. Until Putin puts his foot down, the American and the West was still dictating the agenda, pushing eastward to encroach into Russia's area of influence, bringing former Soviet influenced countries into Nato, a position the Americans and the West promised not to do so. Sensing the weakness in Russia, Ukraine and Georgia were on the cards to be absorbed into Nato. If these two states join Nato, American forces and weapons would be at the door of Russia, a very intolerable and unacceptable situation. Russia would then be very vulnerable to an attack by the West.

This is literally the straw that broke the camel's back. Putin has to act. Putin invaded Ukraine, doing something that only the Americans and the West could and would do. Invading a country is the privilege of the Americans and the West. Holy cow, the Russians got the guts to do what was the rights of the West. This is unspeakable. How dare the Russians behave in such an aggressive way! 

This rude shock has taken the Americans by surprise. Now all the forces and levers of the Americans would be used to press down Russia. A defiance Russia must be put in its right place. The stake must be raised. Only the Americans and the West could raise the stake in a conflict, short of threatening an invasion like against Iran or North Korea, or China.

The latest, not a single country in Europe can remain neutral. The nordic states have also been dragged in. It is with us or against us. Germany and France too have to toe the line. Every country in Europe outside the Russian sphere of influence must contribute weapons to Ukraine, ie, blood must be stained on every hand. Weapons are going to pour into Ukraine.

Surprise, surprise, Putin responded by raising the stake higher, putting his nuclear force to full alert. Wow, who is threatening who now? The Americans and their allies think they could bully and frighten the Russians. With this latest move, the Russians are threatening the Americans and the West with a nuclear war. The Americans have never been put in such a position before. So, are the Americans going to raise the stake and put their nuclear weapons on high alert as well, to frighten the Russians?

Syria was a stalemate. In Ukraine, the Russians are turning the table on the Americans and the West. You want to play rough, you want to threaten Russia with your superior military forces, Russia is responding by upping the stakes. 

Bring it on, America and the West. This is no boyish chicken game. This is for real. This move by Putin is a game changer. Going forward, it would be hard knocks versus hard knocks. There would be no retreat for the Russians, only pushing forward. Playing hard ball, World War 3, let's go for it.

The Americans have never been on this side of the game, the side under attack. They were always in charge, in control. Putin is now in charge, in control. Putin would throw punch for punch.

The spark to ignite Europe into a ball of fire has been scattered all around Ukraine. The Americans think they can supply weapons, through the European countries, like they did to Taiwan and could get away with it. Russia is going to stop the supply. This is war.  Supplying weapons and war machine are as good as participating in the war. The convoys would be attacked. The soldiers escorting the weapons and machine, if Americans or Nato countries, could be killed, the very reason to drag Nato and the Americans into the war with their soldiers. One step leads to another, and Europe would be the battle field.

Let's lay the red carpet to welcome WW3. It is coming, only when. 

It is not only Ukraine and the Ukrainians dying for it. Zelensky and Ukrainians may find some comfort in knowing that they are not alone. Let the drums roll.

Asians that think the Whites will treat them as equals must be dreaming

 Asians that think the Whites will treat them as equals must be dreaming. The Whites always have the mentality that they should rule the world, and that the whole world must remain subservient to them.

China's rise change the whole landscape and the Whites are afraid of loosing their superiority status and be overtaken by an Asian country, by a people different from them in skin colour and always thought of as backward. This is not acceptable.

Nowhere is the lesson more apparent than in South Africa, where the Whites are now the race no longer in control of the Blacks and being paid back in their old coins. This has apparently not been ignored by the Whites elsewhere and they are paranoid. They took the lands of the Native Americans and the Aborigines and culled the Native population through genocide to curb their ability for revenge.

India and China were fortunate not to be annihilated into near extinction like the Natives of North America and Australia. Their experience during the days of colonisation in the case of India, and the humiliation of China at the hands of the Whites and Japanese must never ever be forgotten.

The Whites are still attempting to exert domination and China and India need to be ready and able to deter those attempts. Asia is their next target after the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Africa and South America still do not pose any threat to them, but their turn will come.

Sanctions on Russia Will Backfire

Beijing predicts Russia can weather the sanctions it’s been hit with in recent days, and that the U.S. and European allies will wind up suffering for supporting Ukraine.

Russia has largely adapted to dealing with punitive financial measures since 2014, when it was penalized for reuniting with Crimea.

Cutting off Russian banks from the SWIFT money messaging system will wind up hurting Europe roughly as much. The U.S. could also incur major costs in the future providing economic and humanitarian aid to allies, and that Europe could be destabilized by large numbers of fleeing Ukrainians. The fierce debate on refugee problems inside Europe could damage its unity at crucial moments.

China could provide some support for Russia to keep the punishments from biting too hard. Chinese companies are expected to scoop up discounted Russian oil if sanctions deter other buyers.

It could also provide a financial lifeline because the People’s Bank of China has a multi-billion dollar currency swap with its counterpart in Moscow, allowing the nations to provide liquidity to businesses so they can continue trading.

Russia has also worked to remove the dollar’s hold over its financial system in recent years -- selling most of its U.S. Treasuries in 2018 -- as it girded for potential sanctions.

The sanction game coming to an end

 The Americans are still playing the sanction game to threaten and weaken the economies of enemy countries. When sanction is applied to a few countries, it works quite well. When sanction is applied to many countries, sanctioning a country like China or Russia is like sanctioning tens of countries because of their size, it would become the world sanctioning the Americans, when the Americans could only trade with themselves and the Anglo Saxon countries and a few European countries. The 'sanctioner' becomes the sanctioned.

When this stage is reached, not only the American economy will be hurt, the Anglo Saxon and pro American European countries would also be hurt badly. Imagine these countries could only trade among themselves while the rest of the world trade among themselves without them?

The effectiveness of sanction depends on two key factors, a big American consumption market and the American dollar being accepted as a currency. The rest of the world are selling to the Americans, working very hard, to produce goods for the Americans in exchange for that piece of fiat currency, the American dollar.

What if the world rejects the American dollar and refuses to accept it to pay for their goods? When this happens, the Americans would have no money to buy from the rest of the world. Their huge appetite for produced goods would go hungry and Wallmart and all the supermarts would be empty. And when the world did not or would not want to sell to the Americans, the sanction game is game over. No country would care a hoot whether they are being sanctioned or not when they are not selling into the American market.

Not only the sanction game would be over, meaningless, toothless, it would also be game over for the American economy and the American Empire. Every good thing when pushed to the extreme would turn negative. Weaponising of dollars, trade, SWIFT, etc would bring about their demise when alternatives are found. Weaponising the American market using sanctions too would be self destruct when it is no longer the biggest market or market of choice.

Why would the rest of the world work so hard to make goods to exchange for a piece of useless dollar so that the Americans can enjoy the fruits of labour of the world, without having to work for it? The Americans did not know how good the system has been for them for so long and are now inciting the world to tear it down. Well done America.

Look at the BRI chess board. in the previous article. When the world map turns red except for the Anglo Saxon and a few semi colonies and lackeys, the red countries would be trading among themselves without the need to trade with the Anglo Saxon countries and their semi colonies. That is happening gradually and the picture will be complete soon with another handful of countries in Latin America and Africa joining the fold.

BRI countries spanning across the oceans

 

Nearly the whole of Asia, the whole of Middle East, the whole of South East Asia and now Latin America are participants in the China's BRI. When completed, all these countries would be connected under a new supply chain, without the Anglo Saxon countries and a few of their allies.

The Anglo Saxon countries and its few allies would be the minorities, isolated from the BRI connectivity. Oops, count New Zealand in. Argentina has just joined as well. More than 140 countries have signed up. All the Muslim and Arab countries have also signed up.

Despite the Americans putting its dick everywhere to stir shit, only the hard core 'like minded' rogue countries are left out of the BRI. 

China's influence has grown all over the world. When something is beneficial and offers good value, it cannot be ignored, just like 5G. Debt trap? All the participants not afraid of debt traps? Of course not. This fabricated lie by the Americans already flushed down the toilet bowl.

You can count the 'like minded' countries by the fingers. Must be very demoralising for the Americans, to be isolated from the BRI when practically the whole world is in. This map explicitly tells who has more friends and who has less friends, who is doing the right thing, who is not.

PS. The yellow, Argentina, and blue, China, should also be in red to make the map more impressive. This is Xi Jinping's  weiqi or 'Go' chess board.

21st Century New World Order unfolding

 We are in a critical time in human history when the balance of power is shifting right before our eyes. Countries are rising and countries are falling. The future of countries would be determined by its people and leadership. Countries on the path to greatness would be blessed with great leaders in crucial times of change. Countries destined to fall into oblivion would be condemned by having dull leaders with no ideas on how to make their countries great again. Shouting slogans, rhetoric and useless media headlines are unproductive, meaningless and a waste of time.

Russia has Putin, a very intense and decisive leader that talked less and did more to achieve his objective. His moves into Ukraine were carefully planned and executed, having read the resistance as nothing but weak. Very likely he also has agreements with the generals in Ukraine to be on his side. In the coming days we would see how his game plan turns out. If Putin's master strokes in Ukraine prove successful as planned, this would give a leg up to his ambition to restore Russia to its former glory. The Russian people apparently are all behind him. Russia is blessed to have such a leader in a critical time like this, to be swallowed by the Americans or to stand up and beat the Americans in their own game.

The events in the last few days clearly showed that Putin is the winner and the Americans did not know how to respond, would not dare to respond militarily. Both the Americans and the Europeans know that they cannot beat Putin in this game. Russia cannot lose with the nuclear weapons ready to use in a last ditch, weapons that the Americans and Europeans cannot risk facing. 

Ukraine crisis will be settled quickly and a new order in eastern Europe would be sealed, marking the return of Russia as a super power to contend with.

In eastern Asia there is Xi Jinping, a maverick coming after the former greats of Mao and Deng. Xi is not a superficial leader like the incoherent American leadership, one clown after another.  Every move is carefully studied before execution or emotional outrage. Nothing left to chance or luck. Xi appears at a time when China needs a leader to take it to greater height, a man the Chinese have been waiting for after a 100 years of humiliation, a leader the world is waiting for, to snuff out the warmongering and bullying of the Americans and the West. The world needs peace, not unending warfare.

Xi took his time, building China not just militarily but in every front and field of competition to ensure China's superiority all round. There is armour all over, no weak chains to be exploited. China is now a complete country and challenging the Americans in all fields, in every level, in every corner of the world. 

Xi is fighting the Americans not just militarily. He is going to win this war against the Americans without fighting. The short sighted and low level thinking in the American leadership, thinking that war is just military hardware, weapons, and propaganda, still could not see the whole picture, believing that they could beat Xi in an open war with weapons and firepower and an annual budget of US$300m to fabricate and spread lies about China.

China has already won in Central Asia, Africa, Latin America and South East Asia. Europe would be won by Russia with Putin at the helm. Xi is fighting a very sophisticated war throughout the world and with a longer time frame, unlike American's thuggish regime change and invasion using brute force. Xi is fighting a war without fighting a war. Xi is winning without having to fire a bullet.

To ascend to the top leadership of the world needs exceptional men of exceptional talent, foresight and ability, not scoundrels, cheats, snake oil salesmen and definitely not a senile old man who could not remember the name of his wife.

Putin and Xi are men of exceptional caliber thrown out by history in a time when the world needs major changes to move ahead for greater peace, security and prosperity. Humankind needs a common destiny, a common goal to live better, not wars and carnage, not bickering and hate, animosities and lies. The future well being of humankind must be built on the foundation of cooperation, mutual respect, justice and dignity, a united world of shared common good and shared prosperity. 

No more wars, no more enemies, but partners, collaborators and competitors to uplift the lives of all human beans.

The New World Order is beckoning. Down with all the thugs, cheats, liars, gangsters, murderers and warmongers. The rise of two great leaders in Asia at the same time is no pure coincidence. This is a sure sign of the rise of Asia in Russia and China. On the opposite side, other than a senile old man, the best the West could produce was a clown that thinks it is too difficult to comb his hair, or silly boys, actors, comedians, crooks and rogues as their leaders. The fate of the West is sealed, to go the dodo way.

Fallacy of Invasion versus Liberation

 

Which is the truth? How many Invasion has Russia conducted?

How many Liberation has the USA conducted?

Which is more evil, more destructive, killed more people? Invasion or Liberation?

The wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, in Palestine, were they invasion or liberation?

The war criminals are still walking free.

The main western media have been feeding the world with a one sided story. The truth, Ukraine has been violating the Minsk Agreement that respect the independence and self rule of Donbass and Lugansk. Instead of leaving these two new states to be on their own, Ukraine has been shelling them for years and killing a lot of their people. Ukraine is not the innocent child like the boy President. 

Russia's terms for withdrawal are simple. Ukraine shall remain neutral and withdrawal all the offensive western weapons in the country threatening Russia. It is so simple to stop the Russian attack. The Americans refused to state that they would not allow Ukraine to join Nato, and Zelensky also refused to remain neutral nor to withdraw offensive weapons in Ukraine, like the alleged WMD in Iraq that led to the American Invasion, oops, Liberation of Iraq and the American forces are still there, refusing to pull out of Iraq.

Who is the devil behind this crisis? Russia is showing restraint and now using its air force to strike freely at major cities in Ukraine. Would the Americans up the ante and force Putin to conduct a full scale invasion of Ukraine?

PS. Two international institutions would be obsolete soon. The Americans had weaponised the American dollar as an international currency. Now they are weaponising the international banking system SWIFT. International organisations, systems etc etc shall remain above politics and not be controlled by a super power, to be politicised and weaponised. Once that is the case, it loses its usefulness and should be replaced.

The desperate warmonger Americans have started to burn bridges by weaponising the SWIFT banking system, be with us or against us. This is another nail in the coffin of the American Empire, self inflicted.

Russia could take the opportunity to leave the SWIFT system, and cut off its goods, including oil and gas, to Europe since it could not be paid.

Zelensky - I am all alone. Poor chap

 This silly boy woke up to find that he is all alone. All his so called friends have abandoned him. He has to take on the Russians alone. And he could not believe it. He is still asking for help from the devils that goaded, incited and pushing him to fight the Russians and promising they would support him...from behind. He thought they would be standing beside him to face the Russians.  Get this very clear, Zelensky is the point man to be right in front, to be shot and terminated. 

The Americans and the Brits would be laughing from far far behind, across the English Channel, across the Atlantic Ocean. The rest of the Europeans? From the very beginning they were not going to fight the Russians. It would be courting destruction and disaster for their countries and their people. Russia is not Iraq, not Libya, not Syria and definitely not Afghanistan. It is not going to be a cake walk. Even the ordinary Ukrainians know this and are fleeing their country. Only the stupid boy President thinks the Americans, Brits and Europe would join him to fight the Russians. 

Every silly American ally and crony better open their eyes wide wide. The American bullies would ony take on the hapless and the weak, like the African, Latin American and Arab and Muslim countries. When attacking these countries are concerned every European would volunteer to tack along. They know it would be sure win, with them beating the daylight out of weak countries. 

No way would they take on an equal like Russia and China.  Taiwan, South Korea, and some silly Asean states better take note of what is happening in Ukraine. When push comes to shove, the Americans would stand far far away.  Go, you fight, we are behind you, we will sell you weapons, F35s at $100m a piece, we have plenty to sell. War is good for your manhood. If you win, a big if, you will become heroes. If not, you will also become heroes, dead heroes.

Biden lashed out at Putin for trying to take Ukraine by force. This is unacceptable. Americans don't do such things, taking land and resources by force. Americans did not use force to take the continent of North America, did not use force to enforce black African slavery, did not use force to take over Mexican land,Texas and California, did not use force to take over Hawaii, not the Pacific Islands of Marshalls etc etc, not Diego Garcia. The Americans did not force the Japanese and South Koreans nor the Europeans to allow the Americans to set up military bases in these semi colonies of the American Empire. They invited the Americans to be there to protect and defend them, just like the Red Indians invited the Europeans to take over their land.

Americans don't use force, Americans are not bullies, Americans are peace loving people. Fighting war is for peace, invading countries are for peace, regime change is for peace, selling weapons is for peace. Get it? And Americans would not fight a war with the Russians, only stupid Ukrainians want to fight a war with the Russians. See, the Americans are so peace loving people, no wars.  They even pulled out of Afghanistan.

Ukraine is a lesson for the world to see how obnoxious and aggressive the Americans are

 Ukraine is giving the world a lesson in how easy to start a war, how easy to be misled and used by the Americans to start a war. And how easy the lives and economy of the whole country could be destroyed within days when the people could be living happily in peace instead.

A young boy President thinking too smart for himself, that he is a genius of sort, to mess around with big power politics, thinking that he could decide what is good for his country, he is in charge, in control, without having to care a hoot about the interests of big powers, has now landed in hot soup. His actions have made Ukraine a threat to Russia, allowing Americans to control and be at the border of Russia. How could this boy ever think that he could get away with it by becoming an accomplice of the Americans to threaten Russia and Russian interests?

But that is not the end. He suddenly found out that he is not in control. He is just a puppet on a string. The main player is the Americans. He has to do what the Americans say or else he would be drown out, kick aside. And what the Americans want it war on Russia's border.

He has played with fire, with the lives and future of his country. When the boy President willingly chose to become a tool/weapon of the Americans to threaten Russia, he would have to pay a price for it.

The moral of the story, when one is just a small country, do not act too smart thinking that one is so clever, can mess around with big powers and can have his cake and eat it. A small country is allowed to flirt around only when the big powers allowed it to do so, or it happens to be singing the same tune. Once it goes out of line, not in the interests of the big powers, he would be thrown under the bus.

Who is going to rescue this boy President? Who is going to prevent the loss of lives of Ukrainians? Not the Americans. They would send a token of soldiers to support from behind. Maybe send more weapons. But the Americans would not fight and die to defend Ukraine and the Ukrainians.

The Ukrainians die, it is their business. Ukraine got bombed out of existence, it is their business. Europeans got dragged into the war and die, it is their business.

Why on earth would people living peacefully be stupidly pushed themselves into a devastating war, or allowed themselves to be set up to go to war? Can you imagine how many Ukrainians, Russians and Europeans are going to die all for nothing but a foolish boy President thinking too highly of himself.

Know your place, stay away from big power politics.  Do not risk your country and the lives of your people to play with the devils.

If you can live in peace, why go to war? War is very fun, very exciting? Can be heroes. Yes, dead heroes.

How many Ukrainians and Europeans and Russians are going to die because of this war when there is no need to? And the boy President has no way to stop this war. The Americans have taken over the game and deciding how it should be played. So pathetic for Zelensky now. What can he do? Absolutely nothing. Ukraine is now a pawn in the chess board of the Americans.

Zelensky has led Ukraine into a war.  And many people will die for what he had done to start this war.

India be our hinterland?

 After Singapore's failed attempt to merge with Malaya as part of Malaysia, Singapore went on its own to create a prosperous little piece of rock in SE Asia. After 40 plus years of breakaway, Singapore seems to be hitting a plateau and using up all the tricks available. The final trick of importing more heads to increase consumption is reaching a breaking point with anger brewing among the Singaporeans. Going ahead mindlessly with importing more and more third world fake talents is no longer acceptable or tolerable.  Xenophobia is on the rise. A new strategy must be cooked to ensure the million dollar salaries remain sustainable and not be overturned.

How about finding a new hinterland to merge with? Singapore seems to have work out something with India, the next superpower in the world. From CECA and the importing of more and more Indians to head Singapore's key institutions, now even low down provision shop like Fairprice, the picture seems complete. Is there anything else that needs an India Indian to helm? How about the PM? Singapore is integrating with India, hedging all its resources and hope on India and Indians., ploughing billions and billions of our reserves into India. The more the merrier.

Would the next step be the integration of Singapore as a part of India, a merger of some sort, but unlikely to be like the merger with Malaysia. Singapore can at most be a little gateway to India given the difference in size. If there is indeed a plan for a merger with India, Singapore cannot ever think of becoming a major partner in India and a Singaporean becoming the PM of Indiapora. Likely the role would be like Hawaii to the USA, living in the peripheral. There is no way that Singapore can swallow up India, more likely India swallowing up Singapore and remain as India, not Indiapore or Indiapora.

Looking ahead into the future, without any resources, its strategic position as a major port compromised and going to be diminish when all China's shipping could bypass Tuas, and its main strength, a talented pool of human beans becoming an untalented pool of drivers and jagas, Singapore's future is bleak, the light is dimming. No more new tricks but to look for a god father.  How high can HDB prices be pushed, $1m or $2m to keep the economy afloat before the house of cards collapses?

China is an unlikely candidate as too much bad blood had spilt, unless Singapore is willing to go down on its knees to beg for forgiveness. India would be most willing to take Singapore in, like picking up a pot of gold. Singapore would be an asset to India. It would be the crown jewel of all Indian cities, none could come near to Singapore. The caveat is, would life be still the same if Singapore becomes a city of India? One thing for sure, should Singapore integrate or merge with India, Singapore would not be able to say Singapore is not ready for an Indian PM. It would be the other way round. India would say India is not ready for a Chinese PM in the city of Singapora. The Chinese ships would not be calling. And if Singapore becomes part of India, nothing from China would be coming. India is dead set to be the arch enemy of China and would block everything coming from China. 

So, is merging with India, making India our hinterland, banging on the subcontinents' underdeveloped land and cities going to give Singapore a leg up to continue to survive as the first world in SE Asia, and in India? Or would Singapore become another third world city in India?

How far fetch is this scenario of Singapore becoming a part of India? Has Singapore decided to throw all in to be a part of India and bringing in more India Indians to run Singapore? Would Singaporeans be made to sing another national anthem, the national anthem of India?

What do you think?

PS. Floating this idea for musing around.

Rogue Americans crying wolf and ratcheting for war

 

The warmongering Americans have been crying wolf everyday with greater intensity to spread fear and panic that Russia is going to invade Ukraine. Russia is the aggressive player and the warmongering Americans are the angels. Fortunately no country other than a few AngloSaxon countries would want to play this up as a clear and present danger. The Americans have been calling wolf once too many, creating false flag incidents since the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, 911, WMD, war on terrorists to invade Afghanistan to slaughter the Afghan tribesmen that had nothing to do with 911.

The US$300m per annum war chest to spread lies, fabricate lies, to smear and attack China and Russia are put into full use, buying reporters, journalists and American and foreign media to print all the lies. Here are some samples of American media and psywar.

This piece depicts the West as defensive against an aggressive Russia when all the while they have the aggressive party encroaching into Russia's sphere of influence and threatening Russia. The Ukraine crisis is all created by the Americans/Nato but putting the blame on Russia.

Australia is playing the attack dog role, smearing China with offensive acts and vicious allegations. They have been attacking Chinese investment in Australia, stirring shit to investigate Wuhan as the source of the Pandemic, genocide in Xinjiang and now wanting to investigate Chinese ship for pointing a laser beam at their offensive aircraft dropping sonobouys to detect and monitor Chinese submarines. This is another typical incident of thief shouting thief.

The more aggressive the Australians are, the more they would show their fangs and be hated by countries in the region. One day they would be chased back to England, where they were first deported from.

See how this piece is being slanted. The Americans have been forming offensive pacts with equally aggressive countries to counter and attack China, And these are ok. Now China and Russia merely signed a non aggression pact, not to conduct war with each other, and that is a concern to them? What if China and Russia sign a defence pact, a military alliance? What would the American propaganda machine be shouting?

The western media have long been under the control of the West and have been showing how aggressive and biased in their reporting. They no longer hide or pretend to be neutral or objective. They are now an instrument of war, a weapon for war for the evil American Empire.

Let's hope they really go to war in Europe. Let them blow each other to pieces since they like war so much. The Americans are desperate to justify the military budget of US$800 billion and to support their military war complex and needed a war badly.

When is the UN going to condemn the American savages from starting WW3? Their homeland ravaged by the virus, economy in deep deep trouble, instead of putting their house in order, they want a war to burn down the whole world.

The vicious Americans and AngloSaxon tribes are behaving like wild savages, like the days when they genocided a continent of Red Indians and the aborigines in Australia and New Zealand. Now they are planning to wipe out the Ukrainians, Europeans and Russians. And no condemnation from any country or the UN.

AI no future in Europe and America

LONDON — Using artificial intelligence software for mass surveillance and ranking social behavior could soon be outlawed in Europe, according to draft legislation that has been shared online.

The 81-page document, which was first reported by Politico, says “indiscriminate surveillance of natural persons should be prohibited when applied in a generalized manner to all persons without differentiation.”

It adds the methods of surveillance could include monitoring and tracking of people in digital and physical environments. CNBC

The above document says it all. There is no future for further development and advancement of AI's in Europe and America. In the name of freedom and violation of privacy, AI could not make further inroads into these countries.  They have tied their hands and legs on the progress of AIs and would curtailed further advances in the use of AI in their countries.

AI is the new frontier of science and technology that would bridge the human intelligence with machine intelligence. AI would change every aspect of human lives and the price is privacy. If individual privacy is the shield to stop AI from engaging in the reordering of human activities, then this shield will be the wall to prevent AI from changing and facilitating lives in a way unimaginable. Individual privacy would be the chain that would not allow western liberal societies and countries to take full advantage of what AI could do to improve their lives, how to reorganise their lives to free human from their basic chores that AI, robotics and machine could do.

The Americans and Europeans would forfeit their chances of moving ahead with the rest of the world in the facilitating the widespread use of AI. They would miss the 4th Industrial Revolution by default, by their own choice. There is no free lunch. Something must give if AI is to be embraced fully. Not doing so would limit the full advantage AI could bring to benefit civilisation.

Here you go. No one is forcing the West not to embrace AI. They are tying their own hands and legs and voluntarily choose to stay behind in this field of science and technology. God works in his own mysterious way to hold back the western civilisation, through Covid19 and their arrogance and pride to use their very own untested and dangerous vaccines and refusing to use tested vaccines of others, and now playing with their own evil card, called individual freedom and privacy and also refusing to use Huawei's 5G and coming 6G technology. So let it be.

Singapore is so well managed, leaders have luxury to do what other leaders cannot do

 While the world is struggling with covid and all kinds of problems, with their leaders being stressed out until some did not have time to comb their hair, some even risk their lives and got infected by covid, Singapore continues to be an idyllic oasis of peace, calm and prosperity. There is really no problem to bog down Singapore leaders. See how well everyone of them looks, healthy, charming and beaming with fragrant oils oozing out from their faces. All the signs of having a good life are showing.

The biggest so called problem facing the Singapore leaders, if it is a problem at all, is honesty or not telling lies. In many countries, honesty and not telling lies are taught in schools, in primary schools, to children. In Singapore, top political leaders are spending their precious time, very expensive if charged by the hours, to educate and to teach the adults not to tell lies, to be honest beans. 

See, Singapore is so well managed that even the PM has spare time to talk about issues like honesty. Very few PMs and Presidents could afford such luxury to talk cock, oops, in way, as many PMs and Presidents would be fighting wars, inciting wars, preparing for wars or preparing to defend their countries from being invaded. Singapore did not have such problems. Foreigners are invited to Singapore and call it home.

Good life, good living, are the norms in Singapore. This is like the gentry class of Europe in its heydays. Oh yes, we also have developed a natural aristocratic class. The gentry and aristocrats of Europe spent their time drinking tea and attending horse racing as a sport. What to do when they have nothing to do but with all the money and time to spend? 

Maybe Singapore should learn to be like the Americans, or like the new Asean, go and mind other countries' business. Asean has morphed into a new busy body, dunno got influence by outside powers or not, and think it is fit to lecture its members on how to run their country. Think they did not have mirrors to look into. Anyway, this is a good thing to spend idle time. Let's see which country to meddle with? Myanmar, yes Myanmar, this is a country that is badly run, military coup. Let's go to Myanmar to mind their business. Tell the Myanmese we are so concerned about their well being, about their welfare, we are so caring. And try to teach the Myanmese govt what to do, what not to do to bring the good life to the Myanmese people.  And teach them about democracy Singapore style, the best in South East Asia. Only one party needed, no need opposition, ownself checks ownself.  Is there much difference from Myanmar's one party military rule right?

This is not interfering in other country's domestic affairs, this is caring, and telling the Myanmese we care. This is not putting pressure on the Myanmese leaders or trying to influence them, external influence. Just don't talk about human rights would do. The Americans would be very happy with our behaviour, very American, and may invite our leader for dinner at the White House if we keep on at it. Can we also teach Malaysia about honesty? We are taking responsibility in other people's business since we don't have much things to do in our very well governed country. Everything works with the flip of a switch. Can sleep in Parliament also, or no need to attend. 

These are good things, the privileges of being such a well managed country.

PLA, the best and most feared fight machine

‘Without fear of death’: Xi Jinping orders Chinese army to be ready to fight ‘at any second’
5 Jan, 2021

Chinese People’s Liberation Army soldiers during an exercise in Kashgar, China, January 4, 2021.

Xi, who chairs China’s Central Military Commission, ordered the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to maintain “full-time combat readiness” and to be ready to “act at any second.”

This pic of Chinese soldiers must have sent a chill down the spines of American soldiers that fought in the Korea War. The faces are familiar, the most feared soldier, the best fighting men that routed the best American soldiers, the Marines, with whole Marine Division being ambushed and had to run for their lives, with thousands killed...plus soldiers from another 22 crony countries.

The highly popular and idolised American General MacCarthur was often quoted, 'anyone thinking of fighting the Chinese Army got to have his head checked.' He stand to be corrected as there are now several armed forces in Asean and South Asia that are more powerful than the Americans and everyday talking about attacking China and declaring war on China.

The American war machine defeated the Japanese Imperial Army in the Pacific theatre of war, together with the Allied Forces, defeated the Germans, no thanks to the Russians that did the bulk of the fighting. The Americans defeated the North Korean Army, when they were about to drive the South Korean soldiers into the sea...but the Americans were no match for the poorly equipped PLA Volunteers Army.

The Korean War is testimony to the best fighting soldiers in the world, the PLA. Then poorly equipped with small arms to fight the most powerful war machine the world had ever seen, the American combined Arms and won.

Today, the PLA is armed to the teeth with the best modern equipment that equaled the best in the US Forces. It would be a nightmare revisited should the two forces meet again in the battle field. This time it would be a fairer fight with both equally armed with their best weapons, not another asymmetrical war with one side having overwhelming weapon superiority and fire power. It would be heavy weight versus heavy weight in the ring.

Would the arrogant and deluded American soldiers stand a chance against an equally armed PLA? When war breaks out between the Americans and Chinese, the Americans would have a chance to relive the horrors of the Korean War all over again. This time not only they could pound the Chinese with all their big artillery pieces and bombs, the Chinese would return the favour, piece for piece. All is fair in the battle field.

QUAD hierachy

 

The AngloSaxons sit on top. The two eager beavers, Japan and India get all the shit and very happy about it.  Willing buyer willing seller. Japan as a semi colony of the USA has not choice. When the Americans say fetch, they would go fetching. As for India, with its ambitious superpower dream, wonder why it is willing to be shitted on by the Anglo Saxon countries. 

India's population is 4 times the combined population of the other 5 countries. And Japan, once a super power, still with an economy in the top 5, both have to sit at the lower rungs, to be shitted on by the AngloSaxons and very proud of it.

More foreign talents must come

 Singapore have many jobs with title like CEOs or senior management positions that need foreign talents to fill for some good reasons. Firstly, Singaporeans did not have enough of such talents.  Secondly, Singaporeans are mostly not qualified, not because they have no paper qualifications, but their world class universities did not teach them the skills needed for such jobs. Thirdly, Singaporeans have no international experience and exposure. How to sell chicken rice without international experience? Or to run supermarket, postal service or run kopitiams without international experience? Fourthly, Singaporeans do not want such jobs.  Singaporeans prefer to be their own boss and prefer to be drivers, taxi drivers or Grab drivers also can.

Singapore thus not only have to open its doors to foreign talents, Singapore must open its doors to foreign talents. And its elected MPs and ministers know how Singaporeans feel about these, and since they are representing the interests of Singaporeans, they must encourage more foreigners to come and take CEO jobs that Singaporeans did not want. And Singaporeans supported such calls, by not complaining or saying they did not approve of it. Silence is consent.  See, no Singaporeans complaining when foreigners are headhunted from around the world, and the best in the world seems to be from South Asia, to fill up such positions.  South Asia is a gold mine for top management talents like CEOs.

And Singaporeans are happy.  For they know that such talents would create jobs for their country men, oops, for Singaporeans. It is a win win situation for Singapore. Getting highly trained foreigners to turn their companies into making big profits and also to create jobs good jobs for Singaporeans. For Singaporeans that are happy with less stressful jobs, there are plenty of such jobs around other then being their own boss and driving in their mobile offices. Many young Singaporeans are happily employed as jagas, oops, Covid Ambassadors, big nice title, sitting comfortably outside offices and shopping centres, easy jobs and with good long term prospects.

Let the foreign talents in, Singaporeans are not complaining. Everything will be fine.  Singaporeans can share their HDB flats with foreigners and collect rent, just like in the 1950s and 60s. Under one roof, several families, one room for one family, three rooms, three families. And the kitchen and bathroom become sort of common facilities to be shared by all.  Singaporeans sharing their homes to show to the foreigners their unique hospitality. Some better still, vacate their homes to foreigners and they moved to stay in Bintan, Batam and JB. Such generosities are unmatched in the world.  Highly commendable.

Nice, nice, very nice.  And Singaporeans' life is so good that they would not change the govt but would continue to vote in the same govt with bigger and bigger majority, bigger mandate. See, no one is complaining. When life is so good, what is there to complain?

This is my land, this is my country, this is my home. More and more foreigners would be singing this song.

PS. None of our graduates from our world class universities, many tens of thousands of them not good enough for the NTUC CEO job? What the hell is happening? Who made the selection and appointment?

Why Is Russia So Worried About Ukraine Joining NATO?

The aggressive and expansionist intention, designs and actions of the Hegemonic Unlawful States of America (USA) is to use NATO as the tool to expand its Hegemony in the World.

Over the last few years, more and more countries that were part of the USSR have been coerced, enticed and trapped into joining NATO.

Out of the 16 countries that serve as a buffer zone between Europe and Russia, 14 of them has already been swallowed by NATO. Not only that, many of those 14 countries have become US and Western military bases.

Such aggressive expansionist actions have caused a geopolitical imbalance and worries Russia no ends.

By absorbing the 14 ex-USSR countries into NATO, the overall strength of the NATO forces and economic might have increased exponentially, putting Putin's defence plan for Russia in an extremely precarious situation.

With the latest US intention and move to make Ukraine join NATO, it leaves no more buffer zone for Russia to react if the US-NATO Forces were to invade Russia at any time.

At present, only Belarus and Ukraine have not become part of NATO YET.

Poland, the neighbouring country closest to Belarus has been very busy, under the instigation and active support of USA and NATO, been constantly causing troubles for Belarus (previously known as Belarussia) in order to coerce it into joining NATO.

At the same time, the US has been instigating, intimidating and brain-washing the present Pro-US Ukrainian leader to become part of NATO.

The intention of the US is to leave Russia with no buffer zone to protect herself from any US-NATO SURPRISE INVASION!

This strategic geopolitucal move by the US will allow the US-NATO forces to attack and invade Russia at short notice, taking Russia by SURPRISE!

American soldier saving a child - more children would be available after the Americans start a war in Ukraine and Europe

 

After the war and bombing, this poor child will be saved by the kind American soldiers. And it would be front page news.

With the US adamant in starting a war in Ukraine/Europe, this child could be a Ukrainian or a Russian. The Americans are so nice and kind people, protecting homeless children. Dunno who destroyed their homes and killed the child's parents. The child will grow up very grateful to the Americans, just like the bananas and coconuts around the world, forever grateful and thinking how kind and good the Americans are.

A lot of such children from Afghanistan, Iraq and some other Arab countries must have been brought home to safety in American homeland and would grow up as Americans and would fight and die for the Americans.

To start the war in Ukraine and Europe, the Americans are sending Blinken to brief the UN of their 'intelligent' report, just like Colin Powell did before their invasion of Iraq. This time dunno what Blinken would bring to show to the UN. Definitely not a vial of washing powder. This act cannot be repeated to have some credibility.

The UN should just believe whatever the Americans said. A war in Europe would be the best news for the rest of the world. Let these warmongering savages kill and destroy themselves and the rest of the world be watching them on TV, sipping tea and coffee.  

Nice, very nice. It would be a wonderful sight to behold.
