Aussies - the Bullies in the South Pacific

While hyping rumors and creating fear that China is aggressively expanding its military in the South Pacific region, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is lobbying Pacific Island nations against a draft security agreement between China and the Solomon Islands, desperately trying to maintain its role of "South Pacific bully" under its hegemonic and colonialist mentality.

Morrison held talks with counterparts from Fiji and Papua New Guinea over the Solomon Islands' cooperation with China.

Western media has been saying that the agreement sparked alarm in Canberra, Wellington and Washington, at the same time circulating rumors that the deal could "pave the way for China's ships to be based in the Pacific and to have a naval base."

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce suggested China was pursuing a base because it was "trying to restrict our capacity of movement and intimidate us."

The normal law enforcement and security cooperation between China and Solomon Islands is sincerely welcomed by the two governments and two peoples. China and the Solomon Islands are two independent sovereign states, and the normal cooperation between the two countries is in line with international law and practice, conducive to social stability and enduring peace and stability, which will contribute to the common interests of countries in the region.

Why are there concerns of the US and Australia? The US has been sending military aircraft and warships to other countries' doorsteps all year round, posing a serious threat to the sovereignty and security of relevant countries, created the militarized clique that brought nuclear proliferation risks to the Pacific, deliberately stoking tensions, creating confrontation and casting a shadow over regional peace and stability.

Australia, which has been sucking the US' nipples, should earnestly respect the sovereignty of the Solomon Islands and the decisions it has made independently, rather than assuming that they are entitled and privileged to define what other countries should and should not do from a condescending position.

Ukraine - The consequences of having an idiot or a clown as a political leader

 A couple of months back Ukraine was a country enjoying it peace and at the same time attacking the Russian speaking Ukrainians in the East as it it was its birth right. No one could stop the shelling and massacre of blond and blue eye Ukrainians by blue eye Ukrainians. The warnings by Russia fell on deaf ears. Ukraine was untouchable, the blue eye darling of the American Empire. 

Zelensky must be very pleased with himself and his new masters that constantly told him how great he was, that they loved him and what he was doing. They promised him the sky, to back him up in every way, would welcome him into Nato. The elated Zelensky could not tell the difference between acting or being real and believed everything the Americans told him behind closed doors.

The tragedies in Ukraine is still unfolding and a very fine example for the world to see. Its economy has stood still, country's infrastructure smashed, its citizens fled as refugees or killed under constant bombing in a war that needed not happen. This is what would happen to a country being led by an idiot that believed he was a God sent genius. Do not underestimate the power of the stupid to believe in what they could do.

Now he is crying father and mother everyday. Where are my good friends, my backers and supporters, and the weapons and aids they promised to send? Please help, please talk to me, I can't be fighting a major world power, a nuclear power, all on my own. My people are dying, my country is in ruins.

How many leaders in Asean aspiring to be another Zelensky, to plunge their country into a silly war that could not be won, and hoping the evil Americans would come to their aid? Fortunately, I think, seeing that Asean refused to be sucked or coerced by the Americans to take sides and sanction Russia, that this tragedy would never happen in SE Asia, a region of peace and neutrality.

The very likely candidate to become another Zelensky, yes, one very promising candidate that has all the characters and stupidity of Zelensky is there, waiting to throw the country and people to suffer the same fate as Ukraine. The candidate may think this is fun, or unreal, and happily going around provoking another super power, urged and goaded along by the evil American Empire. Would its people stand up to remove this candidate before they ended up dead or as refugees like the Ukrainians?

The Taiwanese, not the Japanese passing themselves off as Taiwanese, better act fast and stop their leader from leading them to death and destruction. They cannot let her go bonkers and behaving like a mad woman, thumping her chest, like Zelensky used to do, and thinking that nothing would happen to her and Taiwan and the Chinese people in the island. They have to act fast, arrest this woman and put her behind bars to prevent more damage being done to them and the island by this Zelensky to be of the East.

Asia or at least East Asia, has enjoyed a period of peace after the Americans got chased out of Vietnam. But they are back, sabre rattling in the South China Sea, trying to provoke a war with China. It was a kind of divine intervention to have Duterte as the President in a time like this. Otherwise the Philippines would have become Ukraine by now.  There are many Zelensky potentials in the Philippines who think they are coloured cowboys of the East. 

Would any Asian leader be dumb enough, bad enough, and egoistic enough, to want to bring the warmongering Americans to start another war in Asia? Kim Jong An would not let it happen. China and Russia would not let it happen. Asia belongs to Asians, not white men. Asia is not the backwaters of white men, to come here to stir shit and destabilise the region, and dictate to Asians for the interests of the American Empire.

The Solomon Islands have just become another flash point with the descendants of convicts behaving like their convict forefathers, wanting to start a war with China. Come on Morrison, just do it, declare war on China if you dare. Show the countries here that Australia is a very powerful country that can take on another nuclear power like Zelensky did. Yes, another blue eye blond leader, another Zelensky in the making. What are you waiting for? China can be pushed around by mighty Australia with the full backing of the evil American Empire. Go, go for it! Let's see where the Australian refugees would flee to when war started with China. China does not have to set foot on Australia to bomb Australia with its missiles. The whole of Australia is within range of Chinese missiles. China does not need a base in the Solomons to hit Australia.

Taking potshots at China with your mouth is easy. Do the real thing and the Asean countries would be looking at how brave and how good you are.

PS. Below is a flattering view of Zelensky as a great leader by a Tang Li in TRE. Would Singapore's leader want to be another Zelensky and be voted 'the Leader of the Year' and admired by some Singaporeans...the embodiment of ideal leadership?

'Being down and in the s***house should provide “real” people with the drive that they need to get out of a bad place. Just look at the “Leader of the Year,” the Ukrainian President, Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has become the living embodiment of every ideal of leadership. He’s united the Ukrainian people against a much more powerful enemy. He’s stayed in a situation where the risk of being wiped out is very real. He’s not hiding in a bunker but goes to the front line and the results have been good. He’s managed to hold off a much larger military force. Russia is not waltzing in and taking control.'

New World Currency Order is Coming

 

A new financial order will be negotiated in the world, and the West won’t have the main say in it anymore as the “hellish” sanctions imposed on Russia by the US, EU, and their allies over the conflict in Ukraine have failed to cripple the country, but are instead “returning to the West like a boomerang,” ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said.

While the West continues its “fruitless efforts” to restrict Russia, “the world is gradually moving towards a new logic of global economic relations; towards upgrading the financial system,” he said.

The US and EU have “tarnished their reputation” by blocking the reserves of the Russian central bank. “It is impossible to trust those who freeze the accounts of other states; steal other people’s business assets and personal possessions, compromising the principles of sanctity of private property,” Medvedev said .

A targeted demonetisation of the world’s most globalised currencies has big implications. The weaponisation of those currencies and of the financial systems that handle them undermines those properties for any holder who fears being targeted. Sanctions on Russia’s central bank are a shock. Who, governments ask, is next? What does it mean for our sovereignty?

Confidence in reserve currencies is now “fading like the morning mist,” and the prospect of abandoning the dollar and euro in this role does not seem like such an unrealistic prospect anymore, Medvedev said. “The era of regional currencies is coming.”

Russia said that from March 31, it will only accept payments for gas in rubles from “unfriendly countries,” which include the US and EU, while China and Saudi Arabia have been discussing switching to the yuan in their oil trade.

Meanwhile, the German government has taken the first formal step towards gas rationing as it braces itself for a potential halt in deliveries from Russia because as the West refuses to comply with Moscow’s demand for gas imports in rubles.

Russian officials said on Tuesday that Moscow would not “supply gas for free” to Europe, a day after G7 countries unanimously rejected President Vladimir Putin’s directive requiring ruble payments.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the country should consider selling a wider range of exports in rubles, such as grain, fertilisers, metals, wood and oil. "There are many countries that are showing an interest in mutual settlements in national currencies,” he said.

The world is now rushing to find ways of transacting and storing value that circumvent the currencies and financial markets of the US and its allies.

A recent pamphlet by Harvard’s Graham Allison and colleagues on The Great Economic Rivalry concludes that China is already a formidable peer competitor of the US. History suggests that the currency of an economy of its size, sophistication and integration would become a global money.

Also in Digital Currencies, a pamphlet from the Hoover Institution, it states that a credible alternative to the dollar system is China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (Cips — an alternative to the Swift system) and digital currency (the e-CNY). Both might become a dominant payment system and vehicle currency, respectively, for trade between China and its many trading partners. In the long run, the e-CNY might also become a significant reserve currency. Moreover, argues the pamphlet, that would give the Chinese state detailed knowledge of the transactions of every entity within its system. That would be an additional source of power.

The Evil Empire and its deputy sheriff Australia still think white men can continue to rule Asia

 The Evil Empire and its deputy sheriff Australia still think white men can continue to practise extraterritorial rights in this world especially in Asia. They are building little blocs here and there to bully others into submission to maintain white supremacy and primacy in hegemony. However, some Asian and Latin American countries have awakened to the insidious white men's policy of 'Divide and Rule' and are resisting the Anglo-Saxon white American insidious attempts to make use of their countries as pawns and proxies in their conflict and competition against Russia and China. A quotation from an article in Global Times below will exemplify the fear of these countries as articulated by the Philippinos.

" Since Ukraine crisis broke out, there are some voices of reflection in the Philippines. They argue that the country needs to avoid the fate of Ukraine, reject Washington's warmongering, and avoid at all costs becoming a "proxy" or a pawn of any major power to encircle another one. The recent situation in Ukraine is a warning to the rest of the world that the security of one country cannot be guaranteed at the expense of undermining security of others, and that regional security cannot be guaranteed by strengthening or even expanding military blocs. Asian countries are not willing to repeat the troubles Washington made in Europe.""

"Peace and stability in Asia are hard-earned and cannot be sabotaged by extraterritorial countries. Washington wants to forcefully peddle its old security concept in Asia, dumping "Cold War garbage" into the Pacific Ocean, even trying to create an "Indo-Pacific version of NATO." In the end, its dream will be crushed by the hard rocks of the Pacific Ocean."

Lee Hsien Loong - Crazy decisions and rogue behaviours of big powers to invade countries

“If a principle is accepted, that crazy decisions and historical errors are the justification for invading somebody else, I think many of us are going to be feeling very insecure in the Asia Pacific, but also the rest of the world.”

And at a global level, what used to be "win-win cooperation" - despite disagreements - on issues such as trade, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation has now changed, said Mr Lee.

“Now it’s win-lose - you want the other guy to be down, fix him, crash his economy,” said Mr Lee. “So how then do most of the countries, if possible, hang together and cooperate with one another and not fall into disorder, autarky or anarchy?” Lee Hsien Loong - CNA

The above quote by Hsien Loong during his recent visit to the US has 3 parts to think about. The first is about crazy decisions and historical errors to invade another country. Which invasion is more serious, the invasion of Ukraine or Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan or Libya? For Ukraine, it is the threat of nuclear and biochemical weapons at the door step of Russia. In the case of Iraq, it was a fake threat, a fabricated lie of WMD. In the case of Syria and Afghanistan, it was another fabricated lie of terrorist threat against the continent of USA by poor tribesmen. In Libya's case, it was a country that did not want to sell its oil in US$.

Which is a crazy threat and which is a crime against humanity?  You judge.

The second part is about a win win cooperation that China is promoting. The evil Americans cannot accept that. To these evil white men, it must be a win for the Americans and others can only share the crumps. China cannot be richer and stronger than the Americans, just like Japan or Europe cannot be richer and stronger as well. Only the Americans can win and be the number one economy and number one bully in the world. 

Is this reasonable and acceptable? That the world must be controlled and ruled by the American Empire?

The third part, which follows the second part, only the Americans can win and if not, they would put down the other guy, fix him and crash his economy. They had done that to Japan, Europe and Russia and now attacking Russia. Is this the rule of law of the American Empire? Is this American version of democracy and human rights, that they would dictate to others to obey them, and if not, they would sanction and fix or crash the economy of another country. 

Would Singapore and the rest of the world accept this dictate and obnoxious bullying by the Americans? What the Americans are doing to Russia, and wanting to do to China, and to any country that wants to be richer and stronger, is the American version of the world order.  Should this be dismissed and dismantled, and thrown into the dark corners of history, not allowed to be the governing principles of international relationship?  Why should the world be bullied by the Americans and let them live in glory and riches at the expense of the rest of the world?

What do you think? Who is the rogue country?
