Middle East - US influence declines, Peace returns

As Washington’s influence in the Middle East declines, countries throughout the region are taking to compromise, rapprochement, and peace talks, inflicting a blow to the US narrative that seeks to depict its role as a stabilizer and democracy advocate....

The first major blow to Washington’s influence came in the form of a Chinese-mediated agreement to end a decades-long feud between major regional actors Iran and Saudi Arabia, one which led to the severing of ties in 2016. This has a number of implications for US power in the region.

The first being that this collapsed a strategy that the US was developing, to unite Saudi Arabia with the likes of Egypt, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, and Israel, against Iran and its allies in the region; the alliance was speculated to serve as a “Middle East NATO.” ...

The US strategy in the Middle East has been to impose its dominance, primarily through the military sphere. Its selling points have been security, weapons sales, threats of military action against foes, and the creation of a Sunni-Shia cold war that pitted Iran and Saudi Arabia against one another. ...

Instead of engaging the region as equals, looking for economic partnerships that are mutually beneficial, the US has used its military might to divide and conquer, inflicting millions of deaths and spending trillions of dollars in the process. This may have succeeded in the past, but America’s ability to wage regime change wars has been severely curtailed. RT

Above is quoted from an article by 

Robert Inlakesh is a political analyst, journalist and documentary filmmaker currently based in London, UK in RT.

After decades of pretentious peace keeping in the Middle East when war was incessant and the Arab countries being destroyed one by one, Arab leaders being murdered, one by one, it is times up for the evil and hypocritical American Empire. The Americans were in the Middle East not for peace but for war and division. 

As mentioned in the above quote, the US strategy of uniting Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Jordan, Bahrain and Israel was not a strategy of unity but division. The US seeks to divide the Arab world into two camps and constantly fighting against each other.

The Arabs are not stupid. They could see the evil American game plan but just played along as they had no other way out. Resisting the Americans was futile, like Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. So they kept quiet and played dumb. Now that Russia and China are ready to take a stand, to stand on their side, the Arab countries have found the confidence to decide what is really good for them and their national interests. No more war and division orchestrated by the Americans. The decades of being played by the Americans and the West are over.

Peace and development are what the Arab countries want and they would not accept the dictates of the Americans anymore. They would not be bullied by the Americans and be dragged into war after war with their Arab neighbours.

Peace is returning to the Middle East with the declining power of the Americans. The earlier the Americans are driven out of the Middle East, the earlier would peace return. Caveat, the Americans are not going to leave peacefully and it needs a lot of wisdom, guts and courage for the Arab World to stand up to the American manipulation and oppression. In this sense, Russia and China, including Iran, must play a more active role to assist the Arab World in their pursuit of Peace.

The Americans lie about Peace, real intent is for endless wars, not only in the Middle East but all over the world, even in Europe. Peace is the biggest threat to the evil American Empire.

China activates conscription law for potential Taiwan war

China on Monday (May 1) launched its new conscription law in preparation for a potential war with Taiwan.

China's newly revised "Regulations on the Recruitment of Soldiers," which allow retired soldiers to re-enlist in order to ensure that experienced officers and soldiers will serve in the time of war, went into effect on Monday. The revised conscription regulations also focus on recruiting tech-savvy science and engineering students for new areas of operations such as space and cyber, showing China's attempt to prepare for a possible full invasion of Taiwan.

The State Council and the Central Military Commission, the highest decision-making body of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), announced last month that the new regulations on conscription were formulated in accordance with its "Military Service Law." According to China's state-run mouthpiece Xinhua News, the revised conscription regulations consist of 74 articles in 11 chapters that focus on "recruiting more high-caliber soldiers, standardizing and optimizing conscription procedures, and improving the system's efficiency."

The new conscription regulations allow veterans to rejoin the army, return to their old units or perform previous duties, making it easier for the nearly 2 million-strong PLA to acquire experienced personnel, reported Nikkei Asia. Another provision makes it easier for the military to recruit personnel in emergency situations, allowing the government to adjust the conditions and methods of recruitment according to the type of personnel needed, and to enable its transportation corps to prioritize the movement of troops for rapid deployments.

The changes reflect China's "concerns about a possible conflict over Taiwan," according to the news agency. A full-fledged land, sea, and air campaign would likely require the mobilization of retired and active-duty military personnel.

Seasoned crews who can operate weapons and sonar on military vessels, as well as fighter pilots, are particularly valuable because it takes time to train new highly skilled personnel.

Gupta clan born to be bankers

 

The Gupta clan is a very prominent and successful clan in India.  They were the descendants of the Gupta Empire in the 4th to 6th Century. With such royal and aristocratic blood in them, it is not surprising that their DNAs are better than the average Indians. 

The modern day Guptas are everywhere and very successful in the US and UK and also Singapore. In Singapore alone, top of the Gupta heap is none other than the CEO of DBS, in Piyush Gupta. And there are many more Guptas in DBS as the above shown. Not sure how many Guptas are there in DBS and DBS India.

The Guptas seem to be very inclined in the banking profession. And Singapore is taking full advantage of their banking skills and talents and is recruiting as many Guptas as it can lay its hands on. No wonder DBS is now such a highly regarded bank, the top bank in the world.  Without the Guptas, dunno where would DBS be today. 

Having more Guptas must be a good strategy, not only having the best of the Gupta talents but also denying other banks and competitors from having the Guptas. This is the same political strategy of PAP, grab all the available talents to deny them from joining the opposition parties.

China and India did not succumb to the western opiate ie religion

Now the Whites are begging Africans - please, please, help us to contain China. It is so fortunate that Africa did not fall to the Whites, like the Native American Indians. The African population was too large to contain. And with the help of Russia, Cuba, North Korea and China in their fight against Western colonialism, they were therefore not annihilated like the Native American Indians. This part of history relating to the help from the above countries is seldom discussed and largely unknown, and it only being dug up by African leaders themselves. That is why Africans know who are their friends, and who are out to exploit them.

And equally fortunate is the fact that China and India, with thousands of year of civilisation each, did not fall to the barbaric Whites. They withstood the use of religious indoctrination to convert them to obey their White God using fear. Lee Kuan Yew attributed this to the thousands of years of religious heritage already in existence that they were able to hold their ground against the religious onslaught of the Whites. Their religious heritage had given them centuries of comfort in times of hardship. Had they succumb, they would probably have ended up like the Native American Indians, genocided to almost extinction. And today, there will probably not be a China or India worthy of mention.

Against China, beside using religious brainwashing unsuccessfully, they forced the opening of the Chinese market to the opium trade, hoping to drug the Chinese into desperate weakness and extinction. That failed too. Brute force by the eight Anglo Saxon barbarians was then formed to divide China up, which also could not succeed. Then Trump started his 'easy to win trade war', that he gloated about, but ultimately failing to bring China to its knees. And so they used biological means and COVID19 came into the picture. Was there any doubt the last attack using COVID19 was also not engineered by them after all those unsuccessful attempts? This is not the end as they are experimenting with biological weapons big time.

PS. Till today, there is not a single Christian in heaven. This is written in the Bible. Only after Judgement Day when Jesus return to judge, can the righteous be in heaven.  Wake up and stop being lied to. You cannot go to heaven just because you believe. You would have to be judged.  Redbean

AUKUS is an anti China front

AUKUS is not for regional security. That is just a diversive argument. AUKUS is for confronting China and for the USA to deploy a trusted White proxy, which is Australia, to oversee the good behavior of its vassals, like the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and the Pacific Islands.
Regional security is always the beginning of an agenda to exert control, slowly and discreetly. Now it is just 'nuclear powered submarines' for AUKUS, but will soon become 'nuclear armed submarines'. You can bet on that. That is how the USA conducts its vile foreign policies. Give them an inch and they will stretch it to a yard.

For all that we already know, destablisation of a country is for the purpose of giving the USA the opportunity to station troops in that country, to exert control over its sovereignty on the pretext of keeping the peace. Haiti, now in chaos, is the latest example of what the USA intends to do, and that is sending troops into Haiti to keep peace and providing fake 'humanitarian aid', but beneath that is a devious plan.

Those troops will never be withdrawn when peace entails, like in Iraq, and may even see the USA building up a permanent military base of substance in Haiti. Moreover, with many Central American countries now rebalancing their policies and the fear that Russia's influence in Cuba will escalate into the Soviet era, the USA needed a foothold closer to those countries. The saying that inviting the devil into the house is easy, but getting rid of it is difficult.

Marcos Jr in Washington is saying that the Philippines will not be the 'staging point' for any war over Taiwan. That is just trying to pull wool over the eyes of the Chinese, and he thinks that China will be fooled. And that statement is telling us that more bases will be available to the USA to station more troops and weapons for targeting China. A logistical base for replenishment of troops and weapons is as important as supporting the USA in a direct war with China. Remember that Marcos Jr's family still have huge assets in the USA, particularly Hawaii, and that could have been used as a bargaining chip by the USA to coerce and twist his arms to oblige, and say what they want him to say, for the time being, that is.
