Putin blasts ‘rules-based order’

 Putin blasts ‘rules-based order’ after DPM Lawrence Wong says Singapore wants to work with US to bolster rules-based order

Singapore would like to partner with the US to develop a new model of globalisation, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said before one of Washington’s most influential think-tanks on Friday.

“Increasingly, we do hear concerns about shortcomings in the global order, that it does not adequately address concerns around national security, supply chain resilience, et cetera,” Mr Wong said as he rounded up his first working visit to the United States as deputy prime minister.

“We would like very much to work with America on what a new model of globalisation might be, how we can update the rules of the new global order, so that it is fit for our times.”

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Western-promoted “rules-based order” is merely a cover for colonialism, as the presumed rules have never been agreed-on by anyone and are ever-shifting from one case to another.

The president made the remarks in an exclusive interview with state-run broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) that was aired on Monday.

“Have you ever seen these rules? No, because no one has ever written them, and no one has ever agreed to them with anyone. How can we talk about order based on rules that no one has seen?” Putin stated.

While such a situation definitely looks “from the point of common sense” as “nonsense,” it’s extremely beneficial for the proponents of the said “rules-based order,” the president explained.

“If no one has ever seen these rules, it means that those who talk about this themselves come up with these rules from case to case in a way that suits their own interests. This is the essence of the colonial approach,” Putin noted.

Colonialism has always been based on supremacist ideas, segregating people into different “classes.”

“Colonial countries have always believed themselves to be first-class people. After all, they always said that they bring enlightenment to their colonies, that they are civilized people and bring the benefits of civilization to other peoples, who are considered to be second-class,” Putin stressed.

The colonial mindset remains strong, he noted, with all the US talk of its “exceptionalism,” for instance, stemming precisely from it. “That is, when they say that they are exceptional in the United States, it means that there are other people, people of some other second class. How else can we perceive this? These are the rudiments of the colonial mindset, nothing else,” he added.

Dangerous UN is accomplice in crime against invasion of Iraq, should be disbanded

 The UN was indeed created for the purpose of settling geopolitical conflicts, but has been hijacked to look after the interest of the USA and the Whites.

The UN should be disbanded, like a big tree that is rotting from the inside and needs to be chopped down, so that the monkeys cannot play dirty tricks hiding in its shadow.

Think of how the UN had been used to start the Iraq War. The UN rubber stamp had been hijacked to justify the invasion of Iraq, all based on fabricated evidence. Fake videos of trucks carrying steel pipes were fabricated into evidence to support the building of WMD, and fake milk powder or detergent being used as evidence to claim the exsitence of a chemical weapons program.

It is a dangerous body if used by immoral countries to further their agenda.

PS. The Americans just vetoed UN Resolution on Israel/Gaza conflict.

China USA approaches in their global contest

 What China leveraged on is based on years of studying issues and weighing its usefulness or potential sucess. China invested in rare earth processing, building up its refining infrastructures years before semiconductors even started playing centre stage in global technology development. China started securing basic raw materials for its EV industry, years before embarking on its road to concentrate on EVs. Those are just basic examples.

What the USA leveraged on is based on conjecture coming out of thin air and based on immediate gratification, using force, sanctions and threats as their weapon. And its modus operandi is using allies as cannon fodder when it comes to countering Russia and China. How much success have they garnered in their sanctions on Russia? How much success are they reaping setting up the oil caps?

Morever, over the longer term, how much success have their sanctions been working against Cuba or North Korea for more than half a century? Both are still standing and uncollapsible, with North Korea even becoming a nuclear power and producing weapons for sale to Russia. Sanctions only serves to make them even more determined to stand up against the USA. It is said that the more the USA tried to put countries down, the more hardened is their resolve to survive. It is the same with Russia and it will be the same with China, if it comes around. Russia will end up stronger, which it already is compared to the EU, the cannon fodder of the USA. Japan and South Korea are also in the same shoes as the EU supporting the USA in its tech war against China and now suffering economically.

Belt and Road forum welcoming Banquet, Beijing, China

 

 

BRI Welcome Banquet 6 min. The grand reception party for the world leaders and VVIPs attending the 3rd Belt and Road Forum at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China. This is what the world leaders should be doing, working together in peaceful cooperation to better the world and the lives of their people. Living and coexisting with all states in harmony. Everyone and country benefit from peaceful cooperation, not antagonism, division and wars.

Please note, all the warmongering leaders are not in this banquet. They are very busy inciting wars, agitating for wars and fighting wars in Europe and the Middle East...and supporting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Contrast what the warmongering leaders are doing in Ukraine, Kosovo, Armenia/Azerbaijan, Middle East, esp Gaza, which is the better way for humanity?

President Xi Jinping hosted the event for responsible and peace loving world leaders that put economic development and trade as the top priorities in their leadership. Lets grow and prosper together.

The leaders in this banquet must congratulate themselves for keeping their countries and people living peacefully and happily and growing prosperity. Tomorrow is a better day.

Money is better spent on infrastructure and the people instead of buying weapons and wars.

Gaza - Those that do not condemn the war crimes and crimes against humanity are accomplices to the crimes

 No one in their right mind would not condemn the genocide going on in Gaza and the massacres and apartheid happening in the whole of Palestine. By not saying anything, by allowing them to happen, by allowing the Palestinians to be massacred in broad daylight, these people are as guilty as the criminals perpetuating such crimes.

Even hard core Europeans are coming to their senses that genocide is not tolerable. 2.3m Arab Muslims being slaughtered and their homes bombed, how can anything with any sense of justice, any sense of humanity and compassion, pretend that it is alright, can look the other way, to allow the massacre to go one without saying anything? Where is the decency, where is the justice, where is the principle, where is the law?

With more and more countries standing up to condemn the genocide, the minorities that are supporting the massacre and standing on the side of the murderers would soon be isolated and become the enemies of the civilised world. They cannot run away from their evil position to support the massacre of 2.3m civilians. Even Biden has to pretend to call the Israelis not to occupy Gaza, while sending all the weapons needed to the Israelis in the genocide. And Blinken has been flirting around the capitals of Arab states pretending to be seeking peace without telling the murderers to stop their act of killing the Palestinians. Everyday wasted is a day of massacre. 

The dubious and lying Americans have been on the side of the Israelis in their massacre of the Palestinians for decades, pretending not to know. And their think the Arabs and Muslims are stupid and cannot see what is happening. They think the whole world is stupid and did not know their treacherous behaviours against the Palestinians specifically and the Arab and Muslim world in general.

There is no more trust in the evil Americans for betraying the Arab and Muslim people for decades while supporting the Israelis to be the terrorists in the region against them. They have supported the Israelis to become the most powerful military state in the region and kept the Arab and Muslim states not only weak but fighting among themselves endlessly. They would sell to the Israelis all the most advanced weapons to control the Arab and Muslim states and would not sell them to the Arab and Muslim states. The Americans think they can continue to play this stupid game against the Arabs and Muslims and can get away with it. They think sending Blinken to flip from one Arab capital to the next could deceive the Arabs that he is trying to help the Arabs and Muslims and not creating a false sense of hope while letting the Israelis all the time in the world to terminate the Palestinians.

A war crime is a war crime. A crime against humanity is a crime against humanity. If this goes one for another few days, there would be not many Palestinians left in Gaza. The Arab and Muslim states and countries of the world must be a stop to it immediately. By not stopping the massacre is as good as condoning the massacre.
