Freedom of Navigation or Freedom to Intimidation?

 The warmongering Americans that thrive on wars and hegemony have invented many deceitful terms and phrases to mess around with sovereign states, to interfere in their domestic affairs, to provoke and incite wars and raise tension between states. War on terror, war on drugs, democracy, human rights, genocide, debt traps are all invented by the Americans to cause mischief, to invade countries, to destabilise countries, to impose sanctions and to threaten countries with invasion. The world must not be deceived and exploited by the evil Americans. The world must stop the bullying and threats by the Americans. Only the number one terrorist nation, the USA and the Anglo Saxon tribe, is doing these dastard things.

Freedom of navigation is anything but about freedom. It is about American gangsterism, using their naval power to provoke and threaten the safety and security of nation states, blackmail and outright challenging a country to war. Freedom of navigation in its simplest and rightful sense is about freedom of commercial and civilian ships to navigate the high seas without threatening any country or being threatened or prevented from sailing the high seas. 

Sailing warships, heavily armed, into the front yard of countries without any good reason is but a show of force, an act of gangsterism, a hostile act that could lead to conflict and wars. The intent of such an act is hostile and unfriendly. There is no acceptable reason for any country to sail their warships, ie weapons of war and destruction, into the territorial waters of another country to make a statement that it has a right to be there. No country has obstructed freedom of navigation against commercial and legitimate navigation, peaceful and non threatening navigation in the high seas or territorial waters permissible by international laws. Why must the Americans be thumping their chests to prove that they could sail everywhere, into other countries territorial waters? These are rogue behaviours of uncivilised savages.

The regular and mischievous sailing of warships into another country's territorial waters by the Americans is unacceptable and cannot be condoned.  It is American gangsterism, bullying and arrogance, to intimidate and threaten the countries concerned. Such unfriendly and provocative acts, disguised as 'freedom of navigation' is unhelpful and dangerous and must be stopped. Innocent passage by warships uninvited is anything but unfriendly. Warships are meant for wars. Warships should only be allowed in the territorial waters of countries when invited, not uninvited, not budging in to show military muscles and naval power.

Freedom of Navigation in the way used by the American gangsters is an unfriendly act and very provocative. The world must not tolerate the bullying of the American gangsters under such deceitful excuses. The UNCLOS must define freedom of navigation to prevent misunderstanding and acts of adventurism and provocation.  As it is, the evil and warmongering Americans have yet to be a signatory of the UNCLOS and strutting around the high seas ignoring the provisions of the UNCLOS but demanding every country to abide by UNCLOS rules. They regard themselves as above the law while demanding others to abide by the law. They can incite wars, go to wars, commit massacres and genocides, lie, cheat, commit war crimes, violate human rights, abuse minorities, concentration camps etc etc, but no one else is allowed to do so.

The gangsters of the high seas must not be allowed to get away with their lawlessness and aggressive provocative behaviours. Gangsters are gangsters. Warmongers are warmongers. Terrorists are terrorists. They are judged by their acts and behaviours, not by their words and lies.

Polonium Could Have Been Easily Produced By UK and USA

The deadly nerve agent that caused the poisoning of the Russian ex-spy, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, in Britain could have been developed in the U.S. and the U.K. instead of Russia.

The then UK’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had said that it was “overwhelmingly likely” that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin directed the March 4 poisoning of former military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. So far, there has been no proof forthcoming. It's all about probabilities. Speculative.

Johson had indicated that the weapon used in the attempted murder was believed to be from the Novichok family of nerve agents. He added that it could have been developed by the Soviet Union (many years ago, before the collapse of the USSR).

As far as Moscow is concerned,
the Uk's accusations against Putin in the nerve gas attack are surprisingly shocking. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied involvement in this case.

Some countries in the West, have been doing such Novichok research for a long time now.

The scientist has singled out both the U.K. and the U.S. as countries where the Novichok-class agent was reportedly developed, adding that it “may very well be that the substance used on Skripal’s poisoning could have come from the stocks” of these two Western countries.

A-non-y-mouse.

Wars in East Asia would be a non starter, not in Taiwan

 The Americans and the Japanese would want to have a war in East Asia in the like of Ukraine to trap China in a long military struggle that would drain its economic resources and stop it from growing stronger to overtake the Americans. Unfortunately the geography of Taiwan and East Asia does not allow a repeat of what is happening in Ukraine, Europe.

Taiwan is an isolated island far far away from any land/country except China. The closest is Japan and the Philippines but still several hundred miles away. There is no direct land borders with Taiwan like Ukraine. In case of a war on Taiwan, Japan or the Americans would be defeated by the logistics and supply chain to keep the war going. China is already in control of the seas up to 2,000 km from its shores.

And there is no land target for the Japanese or Americans to strike except China mainland. This is taboo as striking China mainland would mean China missiles raining onto all the Japanese main islands and cities and also America homeland. You hit me, I hit you. Would the Japanese and Americans dare to invite such a scenario, an attack on their homelands?

What kind of war would it be without a theatre of war or war zone on land? Where are the targets? The islands in South China Sea? If the Americans strike at them, Guam and Hawaii would be automatic targets for the PLA.  If not, the battles would be fought out in the sea or airspace over the seas. China would have numerical advantages with a superior navy in numbers and new warships, new technologies, supported by all the missiles and war planes from the mainland and the island fortresses in the South China Sea.

We will see how the Americans and Japanese could start a war in the seas around China without attacking the Chinese mainland. The American propaganda machine is still trying to trivialise the visit of Pelosi as an innocent grandma visiting an island and that China's reaction was badly received. Unfortunately, the realities on the ground is that the whole world, including Asean, have seen this outrageous and irresponsible visit by Pelosi as an aggressive affront by the Americans to want to start a war in the region, a war that no wants it. Behind closed doors they are furious at the reckless behaviour of the Americans, behaving as if they were still the evil Empire and wanting to mess around with the region, creating another Ukraine. No, the world is aghast at the aggressive and warmongering Americans.

China would not want to start a war with Taiwan. China has demonstrated that it could reunite Taiwan by a blockade to wear down Taiwan without any big loss of Chinese lives on both sides of the straits. The most the Taiwanese could do would be to send their aircraft or warships to try to break out. The only limited casualties would by the pilots and seamen, not involving the civilians on the island. China would avoid, at all cost, to harm the Chinese in Taiwan. Bloodshed must be avoided if reunification is to be successful and welcomed.

If there is an escalation, it would be a naval and air battle with the Americans or Japanese fought in the eastern sea and airspace. Shooting down and killing Americans and Japanese would be more palatable and even desired by the Chinese people on both sides of the straits.

Would the hostile and belligerent Americans and Japanese dare to raise the temperature to the point of a hot war with China? China would fight them but would not make Taiwan another Ukraine that the Americans and Japanese wanted to. In a way the battle lines have been drawn and waiting for the Americans and Japanese to walk in for a showdown.

Ukraine - both sides can play the sanction and weaponising game

 Russia is again shutting down Nord Stream 1 for three days at the end of August, for maintenance. Olaf Schulz and other Europeans are saying they do not buy into the maintenance talk and that Russia is weaponising it's energy supply against Europe. Given that this is true, what is the surprise? Are the Europeans not following the USA in weaponising the US$ to sanction Russia? It works both ways, and not all things work in ways that the USA and West thinks must work in their interest only. Those days are over.

Call it blackmail if they like, Russia is just taking a leaf from the USA and Western countries playbook. Now that it is played the other way round, they are complaining. When they were doing the sanctioning against other countries like Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran and Russia, they were so gung ho about how successful the sanctions were going to be and gloating about it. Surprisingly, no country that they have sanctioned have collapsed. Cuba endured more than half a century of sanctions and is more self reliant than before. And they think Russia will collapse because of the thousands of sanctions?

It is indeed laughable that the Russian economy is realistically stronger than before and the Ruble has not turned into rubble. Ironically, it is the US$ that is going to be turned into rubble sooner than expected. Spin as they like about how Russia is about to collapse and is facing a lot of problems with it's economy caused by those sanctions. Really? Why doesn't Europe make Russia collapse immediately by cutting off all oil and gas imports from them? Why complain instead when Russia cuts down it's gas flow to Europe? Who is realistically collapsing?

The Europeans are going to face a winter of chaos and discontent. The UK is facing coming strikes in transport services among others. Millions of UK households are not paying their energy bills. What if their heating is cut off for non payment this coming winter? There is going to be a second revolution on the cards. Nothing Industrial about that I can assure you. And it is not something that Liz Truss can handle.

Everything is a threat to the Evil American Empire as they claimed

 The declining evil American Empire is seeing the end of the road in their world hegemony. They are growing weaker by the day while competitors are growing stronger and moving away from their control and clutches. This is bad for the evil Empire. The evil Empire must not be second to any country in anything. Everything that happens in the rest of the world is now view as a threat to the evil American Empire, as long as they said so.

No country needs to be actually sending their armed forces to the shores of the American homeland to be accused of as being a threat. To do so, such a country must have a military force many times bigger than the Americans. The truth is that the American military force is many times bigger than any country in the world, and many times more powerful than the nearest rival, meaning it is a real military threat to every country in the world, not the way the Americans cunningly and deceitfully called it. No country is a military threat to the Americans, not even Russia or China. Definitely not Iran or North Korea. The last thing to be a threat to the evil American Empire is the tribesmen of Afghanistan. But the evil Americans kept on repeating that the poor Afghan tribesmen are a threat to the mighty veiled Empire. And this includes the so called Muslim and Arab countries branded as terrorist countries by the world's number one terrorist country, the evil American Empire.

The so called threat is getting so ridiculous. But the more ridiculous part is that many silly Asians believe in the American lies, that the rest of the world is threatening the evil American Empire and not the other way round. The Americans have been agitating and inciting wars and fighting wars and claimed to be peaceful and protecting human rights and democracy when no country is fighting the Americans or has the ability to put up even a little resistance.

Today, the Americans arrogantly and condescendingly declared that no country can be richer or better than the evil Americans. Any country that wants to be better or richer than the Americans, have bigger economy, higher standard of living, better technologies, even winning more sports medals, will be called a threat to the evil American Empire.

Countries building ports in Africa, in Latin America or Asia is also called a threat to the evil Empire. Countries friendlier to China, Russia, Iran or North Korea, are branded as a threat to the evil Empire. Countries signing trade cooperation or security cooperation with any other country other than the evil Empire is called a threat to the evil Empire.

Countries that excel in science and technology, building better communications equipment, better biotech, going to the moon or Mars, having better or more satellites to improve communication, would also be called a threat to the Americans. China building better ports, roads, railways, etc etc, infrastructures to improve the economies of poor countries, all these economic activities are called threats to the evil Empire. Oil producing countries selling oil to China or Russia are also a threat to the Americans. And the Americans bullying, inciting wars, threatening wars and regime change, poking their dirty smelly fingers in the domestic affairs of every country in the world is NOT a threat to anyone!

How hypocritical, how deceitful and condescending? How arrogant is the evil American Empire to treat the rest of the world as hapless nation states existing only at their mercy, generosity and dictates?

Everything is a threat to the American Empire if the evil Americans said so.  How much more must the world tolerate this bullying and threat from the evil American Empire when the evil American Empire is the real threat to the rest of the world?

While the evil American Empire is fighting wars and agitating for wars in Europe and the Middle East, this is not enough. Asians are now enjoying peace and stability. Would they want to let the evil American Empire to start a war in Asia? Would Asian countries want their economies and lives to be destroyed like the Ukrainians and Europeans? They must speak up against the hostility and dangerous provocations by the Americans in the region and stop from being dragged into a war that has nothing to do with them.

Speak up against the evilness and irresponsible warmongering of the evil Americans. Tell them straight in their face that they are the real terrorists, the threat to peace and stability. Keeping quiet is encouraging the American gangsters to do as they pleased, to start wars and instability in the region.
