Evil Empire ignoring the forces of history

 Donald Trump said that the USA is a third world country, run by perverts. How true! But saying that in front of the Democrats and USA citizens, is unproductive, because the truth hurts and Trump will pay for it come 2024 if he is allowed to run. USA leaders and citizens, from top to bottom, cannot handle the truth about China's progress and keep trying to fool themselves that China is still backward, underdeveloped and mired in poverty.

On the other hand, Trump should know as he is as perverted as the Democrats during his four years in the White House. He claimed to want to drain the swamp, but instead reintroduced so many perverts of his kind, who are now out to destroy him come 2024. Mike Pence, John Bolton and William Barr to name a few, are all rats and turncoats, who will sell their grandmothers when the chips are down.

Whether they believe in Karma or Retribution, it is all clearly apparent that the USA is tearing itself apart internally and facing severe headwinds externally. There are so many examples of empires and dynasties biting the dust over many centuries, although they would never envisaged that this will ever happen to them. It will only happen to others and we are exceptional. The Roman Empire, the British Empire, all powerful and invincible in their heydays, both crumbled into anonymity. Chinese dynasties of all shapes and sizes too fell and disappeared into history over the centuries.

Never forget that 'Man proposes but God disposes'. Who has the final say? Not the USA with all its military might. Take climate change as an example. There is nothing that man can do against nature, and God has the final say in everything. What can seven thousand nuclear warheads, having the most aircraft carriers, warships and submarines, the most well trained troops, the best stealth fighters do against nature? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Floods, land subsidence, sinking cities, melting glaciers, receding ice caps, wildfires are beyond the capability of man to control.

And it looks like nature is going to reclaim what is theirs. Humans will face extinction all of its own doing. They are responsible for accelerating climate change, and might even self destruct with a nuclear catastrophe. And nature will take over for the next couple of thousand or million years until the next human existence cycle.

China's US Treasury Debt Holdings Hit 13-Year Low Amid Global De-Dollarization

 
China's holdings of US Treasury securities fell to US$846.7 billion in May, its lowest since May 2010, from US$868.9 billion the previous month, according to latest data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Signs of de-dollarization are unfolding in the global economy, strategists at the biggest U.S. bank JPMorgan said on Monday.

The strains of steep U.S. interest rate rises and sanctions that have frozen Russia out of the global banking system have seen a fresh push by the "BRICS" nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, to challenge the dollar's hegemony.

In the FX reserves held by central banks around the world, the greenback's share has declined to a record low of 58%. Although that is still by far the largest share of any global currency, it drops further when accounting for gold, which now comprises 15% of reserves versus 11% five years ago.

China's yuan now accounts for a record but still small 7% of FX trading volume, while the euro's slice has shrunk 8 percentage points over the last decade of ultra low interest rates to 31%.

Trade invoicing has not seen much change, with the dollar and euro maintaining a steady 40-50% share over recent decades, although the U.S. share of global exports is now estimated at a record low 9% compared to record high 13% for China.

The "CNY" is 2.3% of SWIFT payments, JPMorgan's analysts said, versus 43% for the dollar and 32% for the euro. The Indian rupee share of SWIFT payments is minuscule.

Insanity, stupidity or delusion?

 The American govt is so deep in debt to the tune of more than US$32 trillion. And it still happily throwing hundreds of billions into Ukraine to support a war that it cannot win. Except that the money are in the equivalent of obsolete and expired military weapons due for replacement as they were as good as junk, bur now can claim from Ukraine one day. But this one day may not come as there would be no Ukraine to talk about. The only beneficiary would be the Military Industrial Complex that could bill the govt for more new weapons to replace the expired items. Still the taxpayers have to pay, ie the national debt would go higher.

On the other hand, no money to pay for public health care, no money to rebuild an ageing infrastructure, no money to house the homeless etc etc. Their priority is war hoping to make money from looting, hoping to seize the Russian lands and assets. Russian money in America already robbed.

This is not all, in trying to challenge China for world influence, Biden has come up with an alternative to the BRI calling it Build Back Better Plan with a budget of US$600 billion. Where is he going to find the money? Easy, print more Monopoly money from toilet papers and demand the world to buy them using real money. Who would be the willing suckers? China? Saudi Arabia? Unfortunately no. None of the oil rich Arab countries would fall for it or be coerced into it. 

The Americans can now rely only on their semi colonies like Japan, South Korea, European countries and a few rich crony states that would say yes when coerced to buy. Without the deep pockets of China and the oil rich countries, how much could the cronies buy?

And there is Ukraine, a little prick thinking it could attack and defeat Russia with borrowed obsolete weapons. And it is trying to escalate the war by attacking Russian targets thinking it could get away with murder like before. It just could not see that Putin is so kind and not releasing all he got to flatten Ukraine in a matter of hours. How crazy can Zelensky and his Nazis be? Now demanding F16s and long range missiles to strike deep into Russia? When Putin loses his patience, it would be all over within a day.

Then there is this humongous third world country that thinks it is a super power and wanting to challenge and threaten China, acting tough with China when China just simply ignore its chest thumping as irritation at best. It is trying to build aircraft carriers but after 20 years of building it is still testing and unable to put to use. By the time it is operational, the 30 year lifespan of the steel and metal fatigue would dictate that the ship be sent to the junk yard.

Practically all its usable weapons are bought. The indigenous weapons are as good as useless. So it bought 36 French fighter planes and think it can now take on the 3000 advanced aircraft with the most sophisticated weapons systems of China, with many 4th and 5th generation fighters to boot. 

With too much alcohol in their heads, they even resorted to robbing Chinese companies investing in their land and thinking the investors of the world cannot see what is going on, and expecting more foreign investments to be robbed by them.

And everyday it is bragging about overtaking China in everything, in chip manufacturing, in EVs, in space tech, in aircraft carriers, in building the fastest and mostest high speed trains. It is so happy that its population is now bigger than China, something to boost about. Oh, its GDP growth rate is higher than China, if the number is believeable.

A population of 1.4b well educated, disciplined, hardworking and trained workforce is not the same as a population of 1.4b of lowly educated or illiterate workforce, even if they are younger.

The stupid Americans still waving the flag of Exceptionalism without knowing that it is history. The evil Americans are still poking their fingers into every country's internal affairs acting as if it is the Empire ruling the world. Others are waving the flags of delusion and very proud about it. Some with economies that are as good as bankrupt or third word standard.

Snake Indian Company Demands 69% Majority Stake, from Just 25% after Winning Tender with Russian Partner!

India-Russia train deal back on track after dispute resolution (RT July 19)

Moscow and New Delhi have resolved a dispute over a joint venture worth an estimated $6 billion to build and maintain 120 trains for India’s ambitious Vande Bharat Express rail service, it was reported on Wednesday.

The joint venture to construct semi-high-speed trains involves the government-owned, publicly traded Indian company Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) and Metrowagonmash – part of Transmashholding, Russia’s largest rail manufacturer. The project is back on track after contractual issues were ironed out, Indian media have reported.

The venture was formed last year to bid for the Vande Bharat tender, with Metrowagonmash receiving a 70% stake while RVNL and a smaller Russian partner, Locomotive Electronic Systems (LES), would gain shares of 25% and 5% respectively. The bid won the tender after offering the lowest price of 1.2 billion rupees ($14.61 million) per train, seeing off rivals such as Germany’s Siemens, France’s Alstom Transport, and Swiss Stadler Rail.

However, after winning the contract, RVNL insisted on a 69% stake to replace Metrowagonmash as the majority shareholder, citing Western sanctions on Russia and claiming it would create “smoother movement” for the project. It also argued that it would be a “confidence-building measure” as the project would involve importing spare parts for Vande Bharat trains from Europe and the US. The demand led to a breakdown in the agreement after the Russian enterprise opposed the move.

The dispute has now reportedly been resolved “at the highest level” between the two governments, leading to Metrowagonmash retaining a majority stake. On Tuesday, RVNL informed the financial markets that a purchase deal had been signed between its wholly-owned subsidiary Kinet Railway Solutions Limited and Russia’s Metrowagonmash and LES.

Evil America's delusional wars

 All these claims of weather balloons being engaged in spying is all propaganda hype up to demonise China. Wonder what sauce and spices the USA has been adding to the Chinese weather balloon, shot down by the USA months ago. Finding no clear evidence for revelation, it takes time to add in false evidence, and that means the information can only be released 50 years down the road. So many other 'cannot be seen or heard in daylight fiasco' need to be hidden for 50 years, last of which is the Pfizer COVID research papers.

Why would China need to fly weather balloons to collect information when they have satellites doing the job, unseen, doing it stealthily and covering even a broader area? Why fly a conspicuous balloon the size of three buses, as in the case of the balloon sailing across the USA, to alarm the victim? It does not make sense.

The USA is so desperate in finding new propaganda to attack China, even telling doggies that China is spying on them and is a great threat. Of course, the USA is innocent and has nothing to do with them, like the innocent White man standing nearby watching two fish fighting in a pool of water, according to Native American Indian saying. The proxies will know what to do with a little prodding. And the doggies, like Taiwan and Japan fell for that horseshit and started barking like rabid dogs.

Fact is, it is the USA that had a bad history of spying on allies. They were caught red handed spying on Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron and who else we do not know. Do we honestly think the USA is not spying on Tsai and Kishida? Wake up doggies. The USA, via the CIA and partnering Germany, even sold rigged encryption machines, more than half a century ago to allies, and were able to find out their secret messages sent via those machines. The irony is that allies never seems to learn how far the USA will go to, to sabotage them.

China should keep sending up cheap balloons and let them shoot them down. Taiwan and Japan can keep throwing money buying missiles like 'buying turtles to throw into the sea'. Oh, in case I forgot, someone obviously benefits if old obsolete missiles are used to shoot down innocent weather balloons. Promoting a threat gives a good reason for allies and doggies to get rid of obsolete weapons, to be replaced by new ones from you know who and is a smart move. Lack of war is bad for the Military Industrial Complex, so no fish prawn also can.

North Korea fired two more missiles towards Japan and this is going to stir the rabid dogs to bark even louder. They even tried using the UN to add credibility to their voices each and every time this happens, not knowing that North Korea cares two hoots what the UN thinks. The UN is just a useless and toothless entity that the USA ignored over major issues, so what if North Korea do the same?
