Many still could not fathom how intriguing and ingenious is this Ukraine War. How could it happen, how could it be? How could the white men be plotting to eliminate each other? It is so inconceivable that this could ever happen. The likely script should be Europe or the Americans warring against China, with Taiwan playing the role of Ukraine, to bring down China in a war of attrition. That should be the plot, a man made plot for white supremacy and dominance over the rest of the world.
In the Ukraine War, the rest of the world, including many silly Asian and Asean countries could take comfort in being neutral. It is fought in Europe, far far away, the white men against men. None of our business. No need to take sides. What would it be if it was the US plus the West against China, say over Taiwan? Would some silly Asian or Asean states take the side of the white men?
Many silly Asian and Asean countries would find it tempting and attractive to be on the side of the West, their former colonial masters, to take on China. Many have not been able to shrug off the yoke of colonialism, their love affair with their colonial masters, the 'generous and magnanimous' power that ruled them with kindness and compassion. They have forgotten about the massacres, looting and raping of their countries and people. And many have read the western scripts and literature, and came to accept as second nature, the narrative that China is the enemy, the monster, the aggressor, waiting to invade them and rule over them some time in the future. Not the white men. It is ok for the white men to rule over them, no atrocities, no massacres, no genocides, because they never read them in the white men's books. So all these evil and wicked things did not happen. They did not know, did not want to know.
The white men did not exploit them, did not steal their wealth. The white men came to educate them and to civilise them. The white men conquered and ruled over them, and now to protect them from being ruled by China, a fictitious devil lurking in the shadow, in all the bedside stories, to frighten the unthinking and infantile Asian and Asean countries. If you don't behave, don't listen to the white men, China would come and take over your country.
So, if the plot is the West versus China, it would be very easy for some silly Asian and Asean countries to take sides against China, to be on the good side, the white men side.
Thank God, the plot does not involved China for the West to repeat their lies about China as the aggressive and expansionist country. And the rest of the world, including China, can either choose to be with Russia or be neutral. Let the show go on, in far away Europe, let the white men sought out their problems, and if they want to kill and get rid of each other, let it be. The Asian and Asean countries have been spared the agony of having to choose between China and the kind and loving West, the saviour of the conquered and colonised countries, all so blessed to be colonised and ruled by the West and so thankful and grateful for the experience.
Come, come and rule us again with your wisdom and kindness and benevolence. At least the Hong Kongers are saying so. We love to be free under the rule of white men, under white men's rules based order, we love democracy and white men'a selective human rights. Nevermind if we were your colonies and called you masters. Please come and rule us, we feel so good and so confidence that you will treat us fairly and nicely. We would be safe from being ruled by China, so frightening thought, it would be a nightmare. China is a threat, China is a threat, be frightened of China, hide under the bed. End of bedtime story.
Some people would never wake up from their infantile fantasy.
PS. The world should take note of this AngloSaxon scheme, creating an enemy and getting others to fight their created enemu, in this case Russia and using all the dumb Europeans to fight and die while they shout from far away and to sell them weapons.
The same plot and narrative would be used in Taiwan and other parts of the world, with China, Iran, North Korea or some Latin American or African state as the enemy. Asean and Asian states would be dragged into the war with China if the AngloSaxons have their way and Asean and Asian leaders are silly enough to be their cannon fodder.
