Ukraine - World War 3 in a cock pit

 In a way the Americans have started WW3 but in a cock pit. That is the nature of this war, contained, limited, but involving many countries all over the world. And the gladiators, Ukraine soldiers versus Russian soldiers, while the rest of the world chip in with their contributions in kind. In a way it is quite fortunate that the fighting is contained in a specific and small area, provided it does not spread out across Europe, though it could happen if not properly handled. This is WW3 because the Americans are dragging and pressuring every country into this war, either or the side of the Americans or be enemies of the Americans. 

The most happy people are the Americans, fighting another war in far away Europe, with them in full control, how many men to put in, how many pieces of hardware to throw in and how long they want it to last.  Even the temperature or velocity of the war is managed by the Americans safely from far across the Atlantic and with the Europeans very willing to do the heavy lifting.  Very neat indeed.

And the biggest beneficiary, the American Military Industrial Complex, now in full production for all kinds of weapons needed by the Ukrainians. Any smaller pieces of weapons or accessories could be subcontracted to American allies and stooges to produce. And who is footing the bill? Ukraine would be paying for everything eventually. But in the meantime all the allies and stooges would have to cough out their shares for the war. European countries would bare the brunt of the initial cost. They have to supply whatever allocated to the Ukrainians. Other allies and stooges too would have to pay their shares. The MIC would be the producer and seller of all the main weapons and the merchant to profit from the sales.

The Americans and their allies would be the non participating contestants or cheering teams watching the gladiators slogging it out in the arena in Ukraine. Russia would have its own team of non participating contestants to provide the backups and supplies and cheering teams. They too would have to pay in some way according to their contributions.

It is a funny kind of world war when the real contestants, the eventual winner or loser, are not doing the real fighting but throwing in their bets or chips from the sideline. It can be called a war in many names, proxy war, protracted war, a war of endurance, a complex war involving a contest in economic prowess and manufacturing power, and control of resources to outlast the opponents. There is only one guaranteed loser, the Ukrainian men or soldiers.  But they would all be decorated as dead war heroes.

This war could only end when Ukraine uses up all its manpower, ie no more healthy men to continue the fighting, unless the Americans and Europeans are willing to chip in with more of their own men. It is not that they are not already in the arena, but the actual numbers are too small at the moment. The Ukrainians are doing all the work, fighting and dying.

Relatively the Russians would not have manpower problem as they easily outmatch the Ukrainians in numbers, probably 10 to 1. When all are the Ukrainian men are dead, there would still be many Russian men standing.

The rest of the world should be very glad that they are not participants in this world war, unless they volunteered to fight or the Americans volunteered them to join the battle. Other than the Ukrainians, there is high hope for the Europeans to become gladiators in the ring as well. After all they are just living next door and could easily be dragged into it with a few false flag incidents, or ordered by the Americans.

Let's hope that this WW3 would last for as long as it could, with the Americans and Europeans bogged down in Europe and don't have the time and resources to stir more conflicts elsewhere. It would be cheaper for the rest of the world in terms of destruction and lost of lives, just contribute happily to this war and don't get dragged in or sucked in for no good reason, not even on grounds of principles.

Let's all cheer the Americans and the Europeans on for their bravery and heroism and fighting skills. Let them show their manhood and their expertise in producing the best weapons of war. And Zelensky would likely be the hero, the richest Ukrainian to live out the war, as the Russians would not want to touch him. Zelensky is the luckiest Ukrainian man that would survive this war and ended with a big fortune fully paid by the Americans for his great role in supplying the Ukrainian gladiators for the war.

Thank you Americans for the creativity to invent such a world war that is limited in nature, in velocity and death and destruction. And also thank the Ukrainians, especially Zelensky, for his great contribution to this war, to make it possible without involving the rest of the world directly. Zelensky is undoubtedly the star actor of this show, the greatest show on earth.

Neither Russia nor the Americans would win, but never mind, that is not important. Let this be the unending WW3.

Ukraine - Frustrated USA unable to pressure India to do its bidding

Biden, Modi in 'candid' Ukraine war talks as Indian stance frustrates US

Biden has been pressuring world leaders to take a hard line against Moscow, although the administration official said there was no "concrete ask and concrete answer" on energy imports during the meeting.

"We've been very clear that we've been able to ban oil and (gas) and coal imports from Russia, but other countries have to make their own choices," she said.

"That said, we don't think India should accelerate or increase imports of Russian energy and the US is ready to support India, remain in a conversation with India, about its diversification of imports."

The above is reported in CNA.

Biden and his team have been pressuring all their allies and stooges to toe the line, to condemn Russia and sanction Russia. While Biden has been successful in influencing and coercing the EU countries and some stooges in East Asia, he is hapless against the up and coming super power India. India would not be cowed or pressured to do the bidding of the Americans.  India has a big reputation not to be pushed around by the Americans. There is a lot of Indian pride involved. How can India stoop so low to allow the Americans to push it around and to be told to sanction its top military partner, Russia? No way.

India's defiance has made many American stooges looking silly, especially the South Koreans and the Japanese. These are two of the strongest economies in East Asia and have a lot of nationalistic pride and would not bow to foreign pressure, But bowed they had do. Being semi colonies of the American Empire, they have to do as told by the Emperor of the American Empire.

India's stand also gives confidence to the Asean states not to be bullied by the Americans and to stand firm in their neutrality in this fight between Russia and the Americans. If India wobbles and gives in to the American pressure, it would put the Asean stand to question. Hopefully Asean is strong enough to hold its ground and remain neutral and not be sucked into a conflict that has got nothing to do with Asean. 

If Asean would to cower in fear of American pressure and go against the Russians, then it would be inviting a rubbing and bashing from the Russians for sure as it would mean they have acted against the Russians. Being neutral does not give the Russians any reason to hit back.

But, would being neutral invite an attack from the Americans? Would the fork tongue Americans and their fake democracy and freedom to choose, allow Asean to choose to be neutral and thus leave Asean alone? Is it real that Asean and for that matter, countries of the world, have the freedom of choice, to choose whatever stance they want? Or would the Americans exposed their evil pretence, that no country can remain neutral or can have the freedom to choose to be neutral or to be on the side of the Russians?

Freedom of choice? Is the American freedom of choice just another American farce, another white men's lie?

Ukraine - English speaking readers misled by Russian propaganda?

No joke! People here have been misled by Russian misinformation. They were not misled by fabrication, lies and misinformation when Iraq was invaded. Is it just because the UN used their rubber stamp to legalise it? Now the world is seeing the UN as an entity without credibility and responsibility..

Now, who is the one country generating the biggest misinformation campaign in history? Does US$300 million a year gives everyone a clue? Make a guess! I think most people do not need to guess, and is a well known fact at their finger tips, however much the MSM narrative is trying to do damage control. Significantly, I think Russia does not, even if they want to, have that kind of spare cash to fund their misinformation campaign worldwide.

For trying to destroy the truth through preventing investigation and thorough verification of the facts regarding the Bucha case, they ride rough shod over attempts to ask the UN to conduct an investigation, which was blatantly blocked by the British. Even when the accused wants an investigation to prove their innocence, the accusers would not allow. Is that how the UN works? Obviously the UN has been hijacked to look after the interest of the West, nothing more nothing less.

How much misinformation can the Russians spread if you just consider that they totally do not have the Western MSM's support to do their disinformation work. Even on social media, like Youtube, Twitter etc, much of the uploads are one sided pro Western hubris demoonising Russia and China.

In fact, the smearing of China has been more vile and intense lately, a sign that the evil empire is now desperate to target China for standing behind Russia. Likewise, India is facing the same problem, with threats getting more serious by the day.

Ukraine: Misinformation, disinformation, distorted truth or truth, reading between the lines

1. SINGAPORE: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked intense public debate in Southeast Asia. Within the region, there are worries that segments of society have bought into the Kremlin’s online disinformation campaigns aimed at swaying sentiments on the war and justifying Russia’s invasion....

2. TWO PRO-RUSSIA NARRATIVES

The first narrative involves the Donbas region and the portrayal of Ukrainian authorities as neo-Nazis bent on subjecting Russian-speaking residents to constant military onslaught and genocide.

The second involves the assertion that the United States operates a network of biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. Both of these debunked narratives, utilised as justifications for the invasion, have been widely propagated by Russia’s official Twitter accounts....

3. Amongst the 1,961 tweets identified from Singapore- and Philippines-based Twitter accounts, 838 of them mentioned the terms "US", "USA", "America" or "American". A substantial majority of these tweets carried anti-American sentiments. Analysts have highlighted how Russia seems to have masterfully curated their narratives to tap on "existing anti-Western messages" that have appeal in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The goal here is to convert this reservoir of anti-Western sentiment into goodwill and support for Russia....

4. According to the 2022 State of Southeast Survey, a significant minority of Singaporeans and Filipinos - 21 per cent and 31 per cent respectively - expressed no or little confidence that the US would do the "right thing" to contribute to global peace, security and prosperity. ...

Darren Cheong is a research associate with the Regional Strategic and Political Studies Programme at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This commentary first appeared on the Institute's blog, Fulcrum.

The above is quoted from CNA and reads, this is an authoritative and objective analysis of the Ukraine crisis and ... the Russians are trying to write the narrative which is generally false and disinformation. Agree? Or this is the officially approved version of the Ukraine crisis?

In para 1, it says that the region is worried about segments of society being misled by the Russians as believing in the Russian narrative is bad. True?  The region means what, Asean or just Singapore? The underlying statement is that the Russian narrative is false. Really?

Para 2, the two Russian narratives, one, Ukrainian authorities used neo Nazi elements to kill Russian speaking Ukrainians and two, Americans operate bioweapon labs in Ukraine, are untruths and have been debunked? Really? Debunked by who? Has the UN conducted any investigation or no investigation?

Para 3 said a 'substantial majority of these tweets carried anti-American sentiments' meaning a substantial number of Singaporeans and Filipinos are anti Americans. Meaning a substantial number of them don't support the Americans involvement in the Ukraine war. And the substantial numbers include those in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, all anti Americans. This is contrarian to the American's claim that the international community is against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Para 4, 21% and 31% of Singaporeans and Filipinos have little confidence in US doing the right thing to contribute to global peace, security and prosperity. Is the author implying that this is a minority and the majority have confidence in the Americans doing the right thing? Or maybe, the same percentages have confidence in the Americans while the balance 40-50% is not sure? By not saying how many percent believe in the Americans doing the right thing, is telling only half truth, half the picture. Why not tell the whole truth since the author must have the full statistic?

The article also implies that Singapore's stand against the Russian invasion has the support of Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei, that in Asean, Singapore is not alone in opposing the invasion.

What do you think? What is the message of the article and what is the truth? Is it objective and impartial analysis or the author is telling his version of the anti Russian narrative?

Nato - The North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation demands China to fight their war against Russia

 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has declared that by being “unwilling to condemn Russia’s aggression,” China has issued a challenge to the Cold War-era alliance. Beijing has remained neutral on the conflict in Ukraine, but has accused NATO of fomenting the crisis by expanding into Eastern Europe.

“We have seen that China is unwilling to condemn Russia’s aggression, and Beijing has joined Moscow in questioning the right of nations to choose their own path,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels on Thursday, following a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, along with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and officials from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea.

“This is a serious challenge to us all,” Stoltenberg added. “It makes it even more important that we stand together.”...  RT

The white terrorist organisation, Nato, after pushing Russia into a war with Ukraine, is now blaming China for it and that China must condemn and fight the Russians and be on their side. China cannot be a neutral party. China must join them in their fight against Russia or be treated as irresponsible and an enemy of the white terrorists. What has their war got to do with China?

What kind of distorted logic, if it is logic at all, did these white savages think they are talking about? Did the white terrorists allow EU countries and their stooges and lackeys the right to choose not to take sides, or neutral countries the right to remain neutral? As far as China and the rest of the world are concerned, the white terrorists can go and terrorise the Russians, set up bioweapon labs in Ukraine next to Russian border, or put strategic weapons, even nuclear weapons aimed at Russia, but what have these got to do with China or the rest of the world? 

Instead, China and the rest of the world should not remain neutral but come to the aid of the Russians to stop the white terrorists from their aggression and irresponsible acts of war against Russia. That should be the only responsible thing for China and the rest of the world to do. Now Russia has enough proof that the 36 bioweapon labs of the Americans have been manufacturing viruses, including the Covid19 virus and planned to use them against the world. This is how evil these white terrorists are.

China and the rest of the world have had enough of the aggression, invasion and occupation of their countries, looting and plundering and massacres by these white savages during the colonial days. It is only right and proper for the China and the rest of the world to rise up and fight with the Russians to destroy the white terrorists from invading more countries and killing more innocent people around the world. That is the only responsible thing to do. To do otherwise, to help the white terrorists to attack Russia is the most ludicrous and irresponsible thing to do. It would be insanity or simply stupidity or irresponsibility!

The rest of the world must unite to end the reign of terror of the white terrorists. Only then could there be world peace. No more bullying and be held hostage by the white terrorists, to be attacked and invaded at their whims and fancy.
