American Occupation of Saudi Arabia? Americans boots on the ground...10,000 soldiers!

 

High tension!! 10,000 US Army troops arrive at Saudi Arabian air base, what is the US preparing?

Oct 22, 2023 ARAB SAUDI Thousands of US Army troops land at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia. It is rumored that these 10,000 troops will be deployed to conflict areas to maintain security and stability in the Middle East region. 8 min.

The tension in Gaza becomes the perfect excuse for the Americans to rush troops into Saudi Arabia on the pretext of protection Saudi Arabia. This is effectively putting Saudi Arabia under the control of the American soldiers. Did Saudi Arabia agree to the American soldiers in its soil or being coerced into it? Saudi Arabia cannot protect itself without the American soldiers? Protect itself from who?

This is the consequence of letting the Americans have a base in the country. They can fly anything they want, soldiers, weapons, even nuclear weapons and chemical weapons, and the host country has no say, cannot do anything about it.

This is a puzzling development for the Saudi's to compromise its sovereignty. What happens if the Americans started a false flag incident with Iran and use the troops to attack Iran? One possible reason is to intercept Iranian planes and missiles over Saudi Arabia to Israel...and an attack force against Iran.

What do you think? Saudis would have problem getting these troops out of their country. There will always be tension created to justify their presence. If they are attacked, Saudi Arabia would become a war zone. This is a cunning way to get the Saudis into a war with the rest of the Arab Muslim world. Are the Saudis turning against the Arab and Muslim world?

India supports the genocide of Palestinians. Let India rot with the white terrorists

 India's future rise in manufacturing can only come about by being friendly with China, not the West, so as to attract Chinese supply chains to invest in India. And India can only rise with manufacturing as its base, not a service oriented economy.

India still lacks the infrastructure to go big into manufacturing, lacks the supply chains to support such foreign manufacturers setting up facilities, and most of all lacks the skilled workers to provide the manpower for those foreign entities.

India betted on the service sector like software and call centres catering to foreign companies, with its education system catering to those areas as well. Changing to manufacturing is not as simple, without producing the engineers and technical expertise. India is putting the cart before the horse, trying to compete with China when its manufacturing base is still in its infancy. But as we well know, Indians talk a great deal and boasted to high heaven before they even started on projects, but years later they are still stuck in the mud.

India needs the BRI to improve its infrastructure, an essential element of any attempt to industrialise, in order for fast movements of raw materials and export of products, together with efficient and well managed ports. That is the first basic step, not the other way round of trying to attract manufacturing without improving infrastructure first. Apart from this India needs to clean up its corrupt administration, streamline and simplify its archiac laws, be open to investments from everyone and treat every investor on merit, not on ideology.

China investing in resources, USA invested in wars

 China is investing and had been investing in resources, quietly, strategically and building up its dominance in many areas, which is why China is now in such good stead to counter the USA and the West in those areas like rare earth and graphite.

Meanwhile the USA invested in wars, many wars and failed to realise the implications of what the Chinese are doing. Now, finding it extremely difficult to counter China in the area of rare earth reserves and processing, and yet still does not realise its fraility and wanting to counter China with its chips and tech wars.

The USA should realise that, as in the quote 'blowing out someone else's candle will not make yours shine brighter' applies to all. The USA and the West including Japan had, over the decades, denied China access to and participation in many technological research and development. Yet China had gone on and succeeded and even overtaken the USA and the West in many fields.

The space race, super computers, AI, EVs, 5G, all attested to the failure of the West to contain China. And so it will be in evidence with the chip wars, with failure being another catastrophe waiting to happen for those in the Chips Alliance. Now trying to reinvent the wheel by attempting to invest in such processing techology as rare earth refining. Building toilets when there is an urgency to poo is not the way to go.

Can the USA and Western military establishments and industries like EVs and semiconductors wait for two to three years for such essential elements to be produced by their own investments to compensate for the supplies from China? The West will pay a heavy price for attempted 'de-coupling' and now calling it 'de-risking' to sound more acceptable, knowing that wholesale decoupling from China had been foreseen as disastrous.

China fights back by banning export of graphite

 China has unleashed another bombshell, restricting the export of graphite for making batteries. That will affect the rising EV industry the most. The EU wants to investigate Chinese EVs and now China is hitting them hard in the groin.

This is going to affect the production of batteries, the most important component for EVs. They are going to the WTO to complain about the restrictions placed by China, but so what? China is investing totally in EVs, and therefore needs graphite in enormous quantities and needs to restrict its export. It is illogical for China to export graphite while there is such a need domestically. Shall we call it a 'National Security' issue for China?

Sure, countries like the USA, Germany, Japan can talk about setting up facilities to counter China's move, but at what cost and how long it is going to take? China again is the major exporter of graphite, and produces the best quality graphite from its years of experience in refining. Globally, Turkey holds the biggest reserves of graphite, followed by Brazil and China.

Talking about taking China to the WTO, what about the restrictions placed by the USA against China in chips and lithography machines? Those are non issues? As I said before, China has plenty of cards to play and if the USA and its allies wants to escalate the tech war, China is not going to remain passive and just tolerate the humiliation. China will hit back where it is going to hurt most. Not the kind of irrelevant rubbish like the sanctions on trees, dogs, music, plays, sports etc that the West placed against Russia.
