True news - Read the alternative media, not the main media

After a nuclear strike, it will be civil disaster, if they survive that is. I think surviving in the aftermath of a nuclear strike would be worse than just getting turned into ashes, which is immediate. It will be the end of mankind, of whatever colour. Nuclear bombs have no conscience, only targets and annihilation.

Now, when the USA nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they even choose cities with large population. They also calculated how high to detonate the bomb to cause maximum damage. They knew that detonating the bomb at ground level will cause less damage. Isn't that a war crime, targeting cities and civilians? Yet, now the hypocrites are talking about Russia targeting Kyiv and civilians and shouting - war crime, war crime. Spare us the agony!

The hypocritism is killing those who know, fooling those who are blind, and using world bodies like the UN, ICC, Human Rights to shout for them for better effect. When people can get information from the internet, all that fakery is not going to fool the world nowadays.

Just like keeping their own citizens ignorant of what China looks like today and still selling the hubris of an underdeveloped and poverty stricken China. Those who had the opportunity to visit China today, were shocked when they compared facilities like airports, railway stations, high speed trains in USA and China. That is just what they see, and what is not seen is the advancements in the military, technological field, and manufacturing acumen, which will jolt them out of their pants. Just one Huawei already makes them nervous and paranoid that they have to call out their stooges to target Huawei.

So, from the standpoint of the rest of the world in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, all that fabrication of the China threat is not gaining any ground for the USA and the West. They are losing support in every corner of the world, save for Europe. But Europe is also turning away, trying to get rid of Nato, and by extension trying to get rid of the shackles of the USA in Nato. People in France are already protesting for France to get out of Nato, that have brought them nothing but trouble.

Good riddance if they can succeed.

Taiwan wants to punch above its weight, to be another Ukraine

Taipei issues warning to Beijing

Any Chinese military flights into Taiwanese airspace will be regarded as a ‘first strike,’ says defense minister

Taipei has warned Beijing against carrying out any military flights into Taiwanese airspace, vowing to treat any such intrusions as a “first strike,” according to Taiwan Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng.

The above is from RT. A first strike is a very serious hostile act. Taiwan is now saying Chinese aircraft flying over Taiwan is a first strike against Taiwan and would, this implies, strike back. As far as China is concerned, Taiwan and the airspace over it belong to China. China is flying within its airspace.

Let's see if Taiwan would dare to shoot down any Chinese aircraft in China's airspace. China is waiting just for this moment to move into Taiwan to reunify the breakaway Taiwan with the motherland. 

Taiwan, just do it. The Americans and the Japanese would be behind you. NATO would be behind you. Tsai Ing Wen can be another Zelensky. Taiwan can be just like Ukraine. Taiwanese can become like Ukrainians. Some can flee like refugees, to Europe and America. Some can stay and fight. The Americans and NATO and Japan would be sending their weapons to help defend Taiwan, but must be paid back in the billions. Not to worry, Taiwanese would not die. Taiwan's economy would be as healthy as Ukraine for the next 100 years. The Americans and their allies would be sending Taiwan food and energy to keep Taiwan going. Just be reminded that these also are not free and have to pay back. TSMC can close down production in Taiwan and move to Arizona for good.

Good luck to insanity! The Taiwanese are wishing to become the dead Ukrainian 'heroes'. Go for it Taiwan. It is a great thing to become another Ukraine in the history books.  All dead and gone.

 

Meantime the Americans are stoking for war with more provocative behaviours, wanting to joint produce weapons in Taiwan to be used against China, presence of Special Forces in Taiwan working with the Taiwanese against China.

Ukraine - Evil US refuses peace but blames Russia for it

USA's chip war on China is going to backfire. Just wait. Toyota of Japan cut production of cars by 40% in Septemeber, and that just gives an idea what it will be like going forward. Cars do not need high end chips anyway, so what is the issue?

Chip war will affect many Asian countries like South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, themselves chip producers. But they have still to depend on raw materials for making chips from who? Mainly Russia and Eastern Ukraine, for Neon and Palladium. Being considered non-friendly countries by Russia, what do they expect. China will of course be able to get Russian raw materials, as they now have an agreement for chip co-operation with Russia. Will the USA help South Korea, Japan and Taiwan when the USA itself has to rely mainly on some raw materials from Russia and Ukraine as well? Sure, the USA can supply, but at what price?

Just as Europeans were banking on the USA to supply them oil and gas, it was a evil ploy and they were suckered into buying USA oil and gas, at four to five times the price they could have sourced from Russia. Now crying foul, but they deserve the treatment without having a plan as to how they can overcome the shortage.

Following the USA blindfolded is not the way, and proven costly, even if they are allies. The USA does not treat them as allies and their own interest is the only thing they care about, and so it is slaughtering the Europeans like enemies. Does that prove that Kissinger's warning that 'to be a friend of the USA is fatal'. Well, I do think so.

Now, Olaf Schulz is going to China and already they are howling and warning him not to act unilaterally in dealing with China. Schulz obviously has taken the advice of Angela Merkel and knows that Germany cannot decouple from China. It would be catastrophic. The fact that Schulz is going to China alone, shows that all is not well in the EU, as far as unity is concern. We have also seen that Hungary still honours it's good relations with Russia and ignoring the USA's and Nato's coercion.

Meanwhile the USA is said to be restoring defence talks with Russia, but as usual, start with antagonising Russia and saying Russia is not interested in talking about ending the war in Ukraine. Does that needed to be said? When Ukraine and Russia reached agreement to stop the war in March/April after negotiations, the USA and UK scuttled the agreement, with Boris Johnson the main instigator.

Now why would Russia want to talk about ending the war, when what the USA and UK did earlier, makes talking about ending the war an exercise in futility. The USA is trying to show their hypocritical stand of showing the world that they want peace in Ukraine, which is totally and diametrically opposed to their real intention of keeping the war going. There is really no sincerity in their approach of wanting peace, when they keep pouring weapons and aid to Ukraine.

Shameless bullying and hypocrisy of the Americans over North Korea

Worldwide nuclear testing totals by country

Country Tests, Devices fired 

USA 1,032, 1,132 
USSR 727, 981 
UK 88,  88 
France 217,  217 
China  47,  48 
India 4,  6 
Pakistan  2,  6 
North Korea 6,  6 

The above statistics show the great discrepancies in the number of nuclear devices tested and fired by the respective countries. The Americans have tested and fired more than a thousand nuclear devices. On the other hand the North Koreans have tested and fired 6 miserable nuclear devices. But the Americans have been using the western media to demonise the North Koreans as the most dangerous nuclear threat 'to the world'. And many silly American stooges also repeated this as if it is real, that the North Koreans are going to fire nuclear weapons at them, for what?

North Korea would also have to think very seriously to even attempt to fire at the Americans as any such move would see North Korea being vaporised by the Americans. The handful of nuclear devices possessed by the North Koreans cannot be a threat to anyone but only as a deterrent against the Americans using nuclear weapons on them. It is a case of if the Americans fired at the North Koreans, the latter would say I would take some American cities with me, even one would be good enough, to tell the Americans it is not a free punch.

Given the disproportional number of nuclear devices, how many silly American stooges still believe the North Koreans are a threat to the world, to them?

The American propaganda machine may blast at full volume every time the North Koreans test fire a missile, but the reality, the odds against them are just too high that they would be inviting death to their whole population. It is a malicious American lie, a myth that the Americans are spreading to frighten the unthinking stooges and to coerce them to sing along, North Korea is a threat.

The Americans are the real threat to the North Koreans and to the rest of the world given their huge possession of nuclear weapons and the savage instinct to want to use it. Now they are exercising on the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine against the Russians. These primitive savages only believe in killings and destructions to protect their own interests. Killing others is second nature to savages.

Stop listening to the American lies and mischiefs.

Evil American Empire's undeclared economic war with China

Imagine that a superpower declared war on a great power and nobody noticed. Joe Biden this month launched a full-blown economic war on China — all but committing the US to stopping its rise — and for the most part, Americans did not react.

History is likely to record Biden’s move as the moment when US-China rivalry came out of the closet. America is now pledged to do everything short of fighting an actual war to stop China’s rise.

It is not clear that corporate America, or its foreign counterparts, have fully digested what is about to hit them. For decades, serious businesses have based their growth models on having a China strategy — whether it be by exporting to China, or producing there, or both. Unless a company’s product is, say, luxury goods or agricultural commodities, Biden’s technological decoupling will hit their bottom line. His escalation also marks a final break with decades of US foreign policy that assumed China’s global integration would tame its rise as a great power.

America’s conversion to China containment is bipartisan. It was one thing for Donald Trump to target Huawei and ZTE, the Chinese telecoms conglomerates, and aim for managed trade. It is another for Trump’s Democratic successor to isolate China’s entire high-tech sector. It is notable there are no prominent voices raised in either political party against US-China decoupling. Washington’s China politics is now about which party can get more to the right of the other.

There are two big risks to Biden’s gamble. The first is that America is now close to making regime change in China its implicit goal. The new restrictions are not confined to the export of high-end US semiconductor chips. They extend to any advanced chips made with US equipment. This incorporates almost every non-Chinese high-end exporter, whether based in Taiwan, South Korea or the Netherlands. The ban also extends to “US persons”, which includes green card holders as well as US citizens. That presents a binary choice between America or China. Most will choose the US. But there are tens of thousands of Chinese green card holders who will now be inclined to believe Beijing’s claim that there can be no such thing as divided loyalty.

The hit to China’s economy will be far bigger than the word “semiconductor” implies. Biden’s move draws on the premise that any advanced chip can be used by China’s military, including for nuclear weapon and hypersonic missile development. It is also meant to undercut China’s goal of dominating global artificial intelligence by 2030. But all such chips are dual use, which means that the US is now committed to blocking China in all kinds of civilian technologies that make up a modern economy.

In Chinese eyes, it will look like the US wants to keep communist China permanently down. It is no great leap from that to regime change.

The more imminent risk is that Biden’s gamble could prompt Xi Jinping, China’s president, to accelerate his timetable for Taiwan reunification. The island state is by far the world’s largest maker of high-end chips. That Biden’s move took place shortly before China’s 20th party congress, which ends on Saturday with a likely third five-year term for Xi, is notable. Many China watchers think Xi wanted to put the party congress behind him before turning to his vow of fixing the Taiwan problem. Biden could have made a violent resolution to China’s Taiwan policy more likely. He could equally have given Xi pause for thought. We will find out.

What we do know is that national security is once again the lens through which Washington sees the world. Rest in peace “the world is flat” and the “end of history”. The US has endorsed a zero-sum metric in which China’s rise is seen as being at America’s expense. You could say that Biden is belatedly reacting to what China has been talking about for years — with increasing unsubtlety by Xi. But that is hardly reassuring. It means that the world’s hegemon and its only serious rival now see each other through the same lens. As is usually the case in history, nobody else gets much of a say.
