Rogue Based World Order, a matter of principles

 The Americans are trying to con the world about Rules Based World Order as the panacea for peace and stability. Some scholars have tried to explain this Rules Based World Order as an American World Order, with the rules written by the Americans for the rest of the world to follow but the Americans, being the rule maker, are above the laws. In reality, this American so called Rules Based World Order is more like a Rogue Based World Order.

The Americans and their predecessors, the savages from Europe, practised this Rogue Based World Order from the time they set out to conquer and rule the world by force, by wars and killings and plundering. The savages from Europe ganged up to divide the world among themselves. They cut continents like Asia, Africa and the Americas into pieces and shared among themselves. The rest of the world belonged to them by the use of force. They were very successful in doing that with no opposition as they had the monopoly of modern weapons, the guns and big cannons and warships. As long as the rest of the world became their possessions, the people of the world and their lands and assets belonged to the Europeans, directly or indirectly, it was peace and stability under the European Empire, with the rest of the world serving and prospering the Europeans. The world was their colonies.

The Europeans ruled the world under their Rogue Based World Order. They are the superior beans. They are the top dogs, they deserved the best. The rest of the world would be the smaller dogs and cannot be richer and better than the Europeans. Any country that attempts to be better and richer than the European countries would be taken down. Japan tried but was cut down. 

In the recent decades, things have changed dramatically with many countries of the world getting richer and stronger. And this is unacceptable to the European powers, especially the Americans. According to the Americans, no one is allowed to be better, richer and more powerful than them. They would come down hard to take down any country that tried to do that, even going to wars. They proudly said that China cannot be allowed to be richer and better than them. Is this kind of rogue behaviour acceptable? Why is it that no one is condemning this rogue behaviour of the Americans, that a stronger state can not only bully a weaker state, but can also stop and prevent a weaker state from becoming richer and stronger?

In a smaller way Singapore had experienced what it was like when bigger states decided that Singapore could not be richer and more prosperous than them. To stop Singapore from prospering, to keep Singapore down, Malaysia under Mahathir refused to sell sand to Singapore, threatened to cut off Singapore's water supply, even talking about war. What Mahathir did were exactly what the Americans are doing and saying to China. China cannot be richer and stronger than the US and the Americans think it is right and proper to take down China by all means.

Can the world live with this rogue principle that bigger and more power countries have the right to bring down countries, to keep countries poorer and weaker than them? It may be unpleasant and undesirable for countries when in competition, to not want to trade with another country. But to go all out to cripple another country, to put obstacles against another country, to threaten to go to war, to form gangs, to bring down another country, is a totally different proposition. If this principle of interstate relations is acceptable, then smaller and weaker countries would never have a chance to be richer and better than the big and powerful countries. Accepting this rogue principle would be saying it is ok for our neighbours to put obstacles in our path to economic growth and prosperity, blocking our trade routes, ganging up to put us down, to keep us poor and weak. Can small countries like Singapore live with this rogue principle and think it is ok?

The Rogue Based World Order hyped by the Americans is exactly about using force and unfair and unethical means to put down another country. They are openly saying it, forming alliances with Japan, with India, and with other AngloSaxon countries and European countries to stop China's economic growth, to stop Russia and many countries they declared as enemies, with economic sanctions and threatening wars. And no country is principled enough to stand up and say this rogue principle in international relations is unacceptable. The UN is also very quiet about it and condoning this rogue principle, that the Americans can go about crippling China or any country from becoming richer and stronger, by foul and unethical means.

How many countries think this Rogue Based World Order is acceptable and willing to live with it, to live with the rogue principle that the big and powerful can use might and force to prevent other countries from becoming rich and prosperous through peaceful means and hard work?

The American Rogue Based World Order is based on the principle of rogues and savages, of gangsters and mafias, that they can decide who can be rich and prosperous, and how rich and prosperous to be determined by them, definitely cannot be richer than them.

CECA Effect - What would Singapore be like in the long term, 20, 30 years down the road?



CECA effect:

Upon expiry of the 5-year CECA and resigning, India government will ask for more jobs right?. Initially signed in 2005, the beginning of mass import of them by converting all construction workers from Thai to India nationals, shipbuilding to India nationals, larger import than before of India nationals into IT, Finance/Banking jobs, then gradually you see a lot more of them in hospitals as doctors & nurses, in LTA, IDA, PUB, etc. stat

boards, R&D /academic institutions, restaurants & retails (correct me if I am wrong). There are also job schemes specifically for India nations such as SIA pilot training program aimed for employing SIA Singapore-India bound flight pilots, DBS special talent sponsorships/scholarships for India nationals (in IT right? Somebody can clarify and correct me) and not sure what else more.

In the 2005 CECA, india ask for 127 professional and semi skilled job types for a start right? Wonder how many now.

Are India nationals from India having the world class productivity, worker ethnic? I commonly read articles about them being 5 times slower than China in delivery (perhaps 3 times slower with presence of Singaporean supervisors). Our construction workers from India are renowned for poor productivity why continue to employ them (bcos of CECA?) when you have the very productive Thai workers that can help lower our construction costs thus our HDB prices! Do you think India national professionals and semi skilled fare better?

CECA has become a poor productivity (and perhaps quality) trap for our economy?

I thought Singapore is advocate for diversity? Why in many departments you see like 90% sometimes like 99% of professionals from one foreign country? What if they all coordinate to steal our data from database? Doing surface/fake work that one day crash our IT systems/infrastructure then you see 0$ in your bank account!

 
The above are two comments in a thread in TRE responding to a Simon Lim's article titled, 'More foreign indian doctors from India - I read it online with disquiet and trepidation that our Ministry of Health is looking to recruit about 240 foreign indian doctors from India.'


The discussions were mainly about the impact on Singapore and Singaporeans with this no holds bar import of CECA Indians in great numbers and across many professions. In this case, if the import of doctors in such numbers and repeated over time, how would it affect the medical profession and medical professionals. And not only doctors are recruited in large numbers from India, nurses are also coming in in great numbers. Would Singapore become more like another beautiful Indian city eventually?

Ukraine - Russia officially annexed the eastern states of Russian speaking Ukraine

 As expected, the US and NATO, the expansionists and warmongers took the opportunity to condemn Russia and to impose more sanctions, without know or did not want to know that the sanctions were against European countries in reality. Europe would be facing the worst sanctions of its kind, self imposed or forced upon them by the Americans and would be ruined for good.

Below is a quote from CNA.

"In response, the United States on Friday imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia, targeting hundreds of people and companies, including those in Russia's military-industrial complex and lawmakers.

NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that its allies "do not and will not recognise any of this territory as part of Russia".

"We call on all states to reject Russia's blatant attempts at territorial conquest These lands are Ukraine," he added."

And as usual, only American allies would open their big mouths to condemn Russia without wanting to know who started this war, who started to massacre Russian speaking Ukrainians, without wanting to know that the perpetrators were the neo Nazis, fully supported, funded and trained by the Americans and their allies.

And also expected, the whole world remained reticent. From Latin America, across the Atlantic to Africa, Middle East, Asia and SE Asia, no one is on the side of the warmongering Americans and NATO. Asean is conspicuously quite for good reasons. Why be a busybody on something that has nothing to do with Asean? Why support the warmongers and American expansion against Russia? Probably Asean has seen it clearly who are the real devils.

The Americans could still pretend to claim that the international community is behind them, but actually consisting of the 27 European countries that they have coerced into obedience and a few of their semi colonies in East Asia. 

This Ukraine War is actually the Americans/Europeans against the Russians and in a way against the rest of the world. The rest of the world have clearly distanced themselves from the warmongering Americans and tacitly supporting Russia and China, ignoring all the American sanctions.  If the whites succeeded in bringing down Russia and then China, they would once again rule the rest of the world and whack any country that disobey their so called farcical 'rules based order'. It would be the American Empire and hegemony 2.0.
