Largest NATO drill to threaten Putin?

Largest-ever NATO air drill underway

Some 10,000 service members and 250 aircraft are involved in the exercises this June

NATO embarked on the largest air force exercises in the alliance’s history on Monday amid heightened tensions with Russia over the Ukraine conflict.

According to Berlin’s military, the drills – which have been dubbed ‘Air Defender 23’ and are being hosted by Germany – will play out mostly in the nation’s airspace between June 12 and 23, with some operations taking place in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The mass exercises will involve some 10,000 service members and 250 aircraft, with 100 planes fielded by the US alone.  RT

Was NATO trying to tell the Russians that they could amass a big invasion force to invade Russia, a show of force? Would this drill frighten the Russians? Do they think Putin would be shivering in the face of such a big gathering at his gate?

Putin has made it very clear that using nuclear weapons is on the table, and he would use them. He even openly deployed nuclear weapons into Belarus for all to see. So, do the European savages understand what Putin is doing and what he would do should they attack Russia? Or the European savages have lost their minds and think they are more powerful than Putin?

The Russians know who is behind this aggression and have given notice that a war with NATO would mean nuclear weapons being sent first to the USA. How about this, one each for New York, Washington, LA, Boston , Chicago and every big city in the USA. And also one to London, Paris, Munich and every capital and big city in Europe? Would these make sense to the unthinking European savages and the American terrorists still trying to frighten Russia with 10,000 men and 250 aircraft?

Who is playing the game of bluff and who is for real? Who would turn out to be the chicken? Or the insane Americans and Europeans do not mind having nuclear mushrooms in their big cities?

Stupidity has no cure. 

Saudi Arabia Iran peace deal - Trickle down effect

That peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia does much more than just bringing peace between the two countries. It has a massive trickle down effect for the whole Middle East.
Now that peace with Saudi Arabia is moving smoothly, Iran is not going to support Yemen's war with Saudi Arabia and that should create another peaceful end to the conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, in turn, no longer needs Israel to counter Iran in the face of the peaceful moves being made between Iran and Saudi Arabia. These are important developments that are never repeatedly mentioned on MSM. They are developments not good for the USA.

Should China managed to broker another peace deal between Israel and Palestine, which could be more complicated, real peace is going to return to the Middle East. These moves are detrimental to the USA's Military Industrial Establishment.

That is why pivoting to the Asia Pacific by hyping up the Chinese threat is important for the USA, and stirring up mischief in the Pacific Islands are the only avenues left for the USA to go. The arming of Australia with nuclear capable submarines and the upgrading of military ties with the Philippines with more bases for US troop presence is nothing peaceful, tinged with vile and provocative tones.

There is an ulterior motive and everyone can see what is that motive of the USA, doing their pivoting exercises all around the world, and peace is the least of their intention. There will be trouble in Asia. Remember what the Native Indians have been saying for centuries - 'If you see two fish fighting in the water, look around and you will see a White man standing nearby'.

Creating conflicts and the USA will be the beneficiary if war breaks out. The USA will stand far away, urging their proxies to fight to the last man, selling arms to them, and if successful, takes all the benefits, even giving IMF loans for rebuilding, with long chains attached of course.

Look at those European proxies still drunk in ignorance, but already suffering the consequences. No, not ignorance but pure stupidity. Asians must learn the lesson, and learn it well.

Indian Government Wants to Acquire Chinese Companies in Disguised Way

India has reportedly intensified a crackdown on Chinese smartphone companies operating in the South Asian country, which analysts said is maliciously hyping so-called security threats.

The Indian government has asked Chinese mobile phone makers including Xiaomi, OPPO, Realme and Vivo to bring local equity partners into their local operations and appoint Indian nationals in key roles such as CEO, Indian media outlet The Economic Times reported on Tuesday.

In addition, the Indian government has asked these Chinese firms to appoint Indian contract manufacturers to increase local manufacturing down to the component level through joint ventures with Indian businesses, and expand exports from the country and have local distributors, according to the report.

It said that Indian government officials communicated these issues at a meeting held by the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

"The MeitY may have disclosed the information on purpose, as the Indian side has had the idea for a long time, which was known among many Chinese companies in India," an India-based industry insider said.

The insider said this measure is bullying against Chinese companies, as the Indian government wants to acquire Chinese companies in a disguised way.

On Friday, India's financial crime agency issued the so-called show cause notices under India's foreign exchange laws to Xiaomi for alleged illegal remittances of 55.51 billion rupees ($673.2 million), Reuters reported. The funds have been frozen by the agency since 2022.

"By maliciously hyping so-called security threats, India has launched crackdowns on Chinese companies, including spot checks, arbitrary penalties and cancellation of contracts. These moves have violated international rules and will lead to severe damage to India's business environment," says Dai Yonghong, director of the Institute of China's Overseas Interests of Shenzhen University.

India's moves reflect arrogance and complacency, according to Dai. The Indian side has overestimated the chance that the US-led economic "decoupling" from China will bring US and EU companies to manufacture in India. It's still a wait-and-see situation, given India's domestic problems including land and labor reforms, outdated infrastructure and sweeping protectionism, he said.

"While the Modi government has stepped up efforts to boost the development of India's manufacturing sector, it still can't achieve its goal in the mobile phone sector over the next decade without Chinese firms," Dai said, noting that Chinese companies have accumulated technologies and management experience for years to get where they're today.

Against the backdrop of a mounting crackdown on Chinese companies, they are particularly cautious about further investment in India.

India versus China is like Bullock Carts versus Bullet Trains

India's manufacturing is moving at the speed of a bullet train only in the narratives of Modi supporters.

Reality is like Indian freight trains whose average speed is 25 km/h (that's a fact, btw).

Consider India's exports of goods. In 2011, it was $300 billion. Over the next 11 years, it grew 50%.

Meanwhile, starting at the same point in 2002, China's exports grew more than 500% over the next 11 years.

50% versus 500%.

Bullock Carts versus Bullet Trains.

Dreams of a superpower colliding with reality.

Want to fix this? Talk hardcore engineering, systems and process analysis, management, supply chain, FDI, trade policies, training, R&D, infrastructure etc.
