US Threats in the South China Sea - Sara Flounders

 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfXIjri8zbY

 

A very powerful talk by Sara Flounders on the truth about the American threats in the South China and the rest of the world. One of her comments, there is no where in the world that the Americans are protecting the interests of the poor, not in America, not in the Middle East, not in Palestine, not in.... It was all an American lies, to demonise China when they are the biggest threat to the world.

Listen to her comments about who lost China. The question, looking from another angle, is who owned China before they lost it. Yes, they owned China, the white men, until Mao took it back and freed China from the white devils that invaded and took control over China and the Chinese people, treating it like a colony and the Chinese people as their slave.  This was the origin of hating Chinese as the little people meant to be cooks, laundry men and coolies. How can such people become a world power and showing their middle fingers to the white imperialists that once ruled over them? How can they become richer and live a better life than the Americans? They must be put down, be crushed. But how? Demonise them, attack them, tell the world the Chinese are bad, aggressors, conned the rest of the world to go against the Chinese. Only then the evil American Empire can continue for another thousand years, to rule over the coloured people all over again.

The rest of the world, the coloured people, do you still want to be ruled by the evil white Empire?

100% correct. Great presentation of the realities of USA demonization.

PK Wong 1 year ago (edited)
This presentation must be circulated around the world. One of the best presentations ever. China must be prepared to rebuff this US aggression More than this China must have sufficient weapons to destroy all US military bases at Guam, Hawaii, Japan, S Korea within the first 24 hours of a war. China must then bring the war to American soil and rain missiles on all major American cities. Americans must bemade to know what it means to have a war on their own soil. China need have no excuse for preparation to inflict such destruction.

Well said ! The western should do it in diplomatic ways instead of stamping superiorcy over this part of South China Sea , behaving more than a aggressor.

The freedom to sell opium in China was at a time when the sale of opium was banned in Great Britain.

Singapore: Possible Solution To The Constitutional And Legal Issues Regarding Barring Singaporeans And Permanent Residents From Returning

 
Background

Most of the returning Singaporeans and PRs are either of India natiinals original or are Indian nationals. They know fully well that India is in a bad state in this COVID-19 Pandemic, yet they went back to India.

For what purposes?

The COVID-19 Pandemic did not happen just yesterday. It started in January 2020, more than one year an 5 months ago.

India's 2nd wave (in fact, 3rd wave) started at least 5 months ago and then got out of hand because of the mass religious ritualistic gatherings and the politically-motivated Elections and the calls for people to come out enmass to vote.

Ignorance Is No Excuse

All the Indian nationals and ex-Indian nationals living in Singapore, who have relatives living in India, must have known those facts already. So, why they did they take the risk of bringing back the highly infectious and deadly B1617 virus to spread Singapore by going to a highly contagious country? They can't claim ignorance because ignorance is no excuse.

High Security Risk

By deliberately going back to a highly contagious country is not only stupid (that means they cannot be classified as foreign talents) but also reckless, therefore dangerous.

If these people are stupid, reckless and dangerous, then the Singapore government can categorize them as "High Security Risk"

Conclusion

That means the Constitutional and Immigration Law forbidding the barring
of Singaporeans and Permanent Residents from returning to Singapore does not apply.

What do you think?

Covid-19 Singapore: Multi-Ministry Task Force Just Woke Up?

 

Finance Minister Lawrence Wong, who is also one of the Co-Chairs of the Multi-Ministry Task Force, said that the Government is very concerned about the hidden COVID-19 cases in the community in Singapore in a video clip in his Facebook page on Thursday.

Many people have been telling the Government for the past few months about the highly infectious and contagious new variant of COVID-19 known as Type Delta, B1617.2, discovered in India in October 2020. From what Minister Wong has said, it seems that it's only the last few days that the Multi-Ministry Task Force has just woken up to the horror of what this new Type Delta, B1617.2 can do!

Minister Wong said that the recent outbreak in the Home for Intellectually Disabled Adults was a “stark reminder” of such hidden cases.

This is the gist of his message:

“We are dealing with a very infectious and highly contagious strain of the virus, which is capable of spreading much faster than anything we’ve had to deal with before and causing large clusters to break out easily.”

“We have been monitoring the situation carefully and considering what are some of the next steps we might take.”

“Stay home as much as possible work from home, whenever you can, and minimize your daily contact. Should you feel unwell, see a doctor and get yourself tested right away. These are very critical measures!"

"The Government will “continue to ramp up testing and speed up our vaccination program. So when your turn comes, do book a vaccination slot and get yourself vaccinated as soon as possible!"


The outbreak he has referred to was at the MINDSville @ Napiri Adult Disability Home in Hougang. The cluster has 27 infected people so far - 23 residents and 4 employees, one of whom is probably the carrier and spreader of the virus.

Although they have been tested positive for Covid-19, the residents are still allowed to leave the Home for medical appointments and the infected employees living in the Home had been allowed to leave for "essential" purposes.

Of the 225 residents and staff, 91 per cent were vaccinated in February and March, yet some of them still get infected. This shows that the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccines is questionable.

23 out of the 27 infected cases have been found to be asymptomatic and, therefore, these 23 could have already spread their viruses to many others outside the Home, especially when they go for medical appointments or go out for "essential" purposes!

This is a very good example of lessons not learnt.

1. They still never want to carry out 100% quarantine.

2. They still allow the highly infectious and contagious viruses an escape route to spread.

3. They still never want to plug the loop-holes.

4. Worst of all, they still keep importing infected India nationals and travellers into Singapore and refused to stop the flow of these groups of highly infectious and contagious super-breeders and super-spreaders of the B1617.2 coronavirus!

Where is the EFFICIENCY that Singapore has been well-known for?

Please don't just be concerned. Do what is necessary now. Why take so long to consider and consider? Just stop the inflow of infected persons and potentially risky people from coming into our congested tiny island.

Stop the monitoring carefully and wait and see approach, for goodness sake. Please take proactive and decisive actions now!

Scams in India - So easy to make billions

https://www.zdnet.com/article/airtel-once-again-pinned-for-dragging-down-singtel-earnings/

An 'adverse' October ruling by the Supreme Court of India that has led to Indian telcos coughing up $13 billion in fees has wiped out the positive numbers from Singtel's second quarter earnings.

Singtel's Indian associate, Bharti Airtel, has allocated 2.9 billion rupees (SG$5.5 billion) for payments, which has translated to Singtel's earnings as a SG$1.93 billion pre-tax hit, and SG$1.4 billion post-tax.

This has left Singtel with a SG$668 million net loss for the second quarter to September 30, undoing increases in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) and increases in associate revenue. 

What the heck is happening? It is so easy to scam a company in India to pay and pay, in the billions just by a simple court ruling.  By the time this scam is over, I wonder how much is left of Singtel's investment in India. Not forgetting other Singapore's investment, like DBS India  etc etc.

Now, is this a rule of law or lawlessness, or a scam?

It is so scary to think of the possibilities of what can happen in India.

Is anyone wiser?

There are many ways to skin a cat. It all depends on how willing or how stupid is the cat.

PS. The conversion rate is by the papers reporting this news. The conversion rate of 1 rupee is S$0.0181.  There is a 2 decimal place difference or 100 rupees = S$1.81.  2.9b rupees =S$52.6m.

If the US went to war with China, who would win? - James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO

 

A great deal has been written about the possibility of a war between the U.S. and China. It tends to be measured in theoretical terms, and much of the analysis centers on exactly when it might occur. But the vital question is really quite simple: who would win?

Of course -- no one really "wins" a major war. But the best way to avoid having to go to war at all is to convince your potential opponent that they almost certainly would be the biggest loser. The military balance between China and the United States is complicated, and requires thinking about budgets, numbers of warships and aircraft, geography, alliance systems and technology -- especially undersea capability, cybersecurity and space.

Let's start with dollars and yuan. The U.S. defense budget is fairly transparent, at least in terms of total dollars. Defense spending was around $714 billion in the 2020 fiscal year -- and is likely to increase to $733 billion in 2021. Somewhat opaque, China's defense spending is certainly smaller, with this defense budget set at 1.36 trillion yuan ($212.6 billion), a 6.8% increase from the previous year.

But China does not have the high personnel costs of an all-volunteer force, and their military activities are largely focused on East Asia, not the very expensive global footprint of the U.S. military. And a significant level of their spending does not appear "on the public books." Overall, in terms of resources, the U.S. has an advantage, but it is not as overwhelming as it appears.

In terms of simple numbers of warships, China is already leading the U.S., roughly 350 to 300, in combat vessels. And the Chinese shipyards are pumping out new warships on a near-weekly basis, especially relatively low-technology patrol missile boats, corvettes and frigates. Still, U.S. ships are ton-for-ton larger, endowed with better offensive and defensive systems, and manned by far more experienced crews.

Additionally, the U.S. has a very sophisticated network of command-and-control capabilities to knit together its long-range aviation platforms alongside surface warships and, of course, submarines. When factoring in the tight geography of east Asia, I would say slight advantage China in terms of pure numbers of platforms both sea and air, with the U.S. having higher quality of assets.

Geographically, China enjoys a great advantage in a potential conflict with the U.S. in the South and East China seas. Notably, China would be able to support its warships logistically in terms of fuel and ammunition, provide combat repair facilities nearby and move sailors on and off their ships with ease. For the United States, lengthy supply and manpower chains would bedevil U.S. forces, even allowing for the presence of U.S. bases close by.

Additionally, the string of artificial islands built by China throughout the South China Sea would somewhat balance the U.S. bases in South Korea, Japan and Guam. The U.S. Navy, by the way, does not refer to the roughly 10 Chinese "islands" as artificial islands -- rather, they are thought of as unsinkable aircraft carriers.

Indeed, a great deal of U.S. tactical and strategic warfighting thinking is going into how to neutralize those facilities, with one thought being to deploy U.S. Marine special forces -- Marine Raiders -- to destroy their offensive capability early in a fight. While the U.S. would try to make up for its long logistic tail by engaging our allies, geography is clearly a factor that favors China.

How about alliances? The U.S. has long felt that its greatest comparative advantage over China is its network of allies, partners and friends around the world. In Asia, that means strong support from Japan -- the third-largest economy in the world, Australia -- very capable naval forces, South Korea, Singapore and many others. The U.S. is also strongly cultivating India via the Quad concept of aligning it with the U.S., Japan and Australia. Yet how much the U.S. could count on such partners in the face of a Chinese attack is a growing question.

Additionally, China is increasingly taking a page from the U.S. and strengthening its systems of partnerships. The Belt and Road Initiative is designed to do exactly that, and the Chinese are making inroads both in Asia and the east coast of Africa. Most importantly, Beijing is consolidating its relationships with Russia -- the two nations frequently exercise together militarily, Iran -- China just announced a $400 billion investment, Pakistan and the Philippines -- President Rodrigo Duterte seems to favor China in many issues over the U.S., nominally a formal treaty ally.

Overall, the U.S. allies are bigger, richer and have stronger militaries, so an advantage for Washington -- but the gap is closing.

Finally, and most importantly, victory in a U.S.-China war would be highly influenced by who has the best technology. In the key areas of undersea silencing of submarines, numbers of military satellites in space, offensive and defensive cyber tools and unmanned vehicles, the U.S. still has the lead. But China is closing fast, especially in artificial intelligence, hypersonic cruise missiles, cyber and the emerging field of quantum computing. The recently released National Commission on Artificial Intelligence is telling in this regard. Again, slight -- but closing -- advantage to the United States.

Bottom line: If I were the admiral commanding the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command -- the leader for all American military forces in the Pacific and Indian oceans -- I would still want the U.S. hand of cards to play. But as the Duke of Wellington said of the Battle of Waterloo, a fight with China would be a "near-run thing." And over the next decade, that gap will close and -- if the U.S. does not respond -- will favor China.

That is why I set my recent novel, 2034: A Novel of the Next World War, 10 to 15 years in the future. Those alarm bells are going off at the Pacific Fleet headquarters in Pearl Harbor, and watch for U.S. strategic focus, resources and advanced technology to head west in the coming decade.
