China has had enough of Mickey Mouse in the South China Sea

 

2 min clip showing Chinese Coast Guard ships firing water cannon at a little Philippines Coast Guard ship trespassing China's territorial sea.

After several months of highly provocative actions by the Pinoys, and many warnings by China, China has finally decided to take firm action against the Mickey Mouse in the South China Sea. Mickey Mouse always think it can mess around with a bigger opponent, not aware that this only happened in cartoons.


China now realised that if it does not put a stop to the monkeying around by Mickey Mouse, it would only embolden the Mickey Mouse. It has finally decided to take firm action. And this is only the beginning. Mickey Mouse thought with the presence of American terrorists in the region, China would not dare to take action against it. Mickey Mouse better wake up. China would even act against the American terrorists, what is a few Mickey Mouse.

By the way, when the Spanish colonial master sold the 'Philippines' to the Americans in 1898, it came with a map of the 'Philippines'. None of the Chinese islands was in that map of the 'Philippines'. The Americans knew what they bought from the Spanish. Now the Mickey Mouse wants to claim Chinese islands as theirs. The mischievous trouble making Americans would not tell the Pinoys the truth, and would not show them the map. There was no state called the Philippines but colonised territories of Spain, to be sold from one buyer to another.

Mickey Mouse thinks it can bully the dragon without thinking that fantasy only happens in cartoons, not in the real world.

American war economy given a $95b boost

 

Less than 2 minutes clip on the American economy falling apart

The American economy is rock solid, growing at 1%,...oops, growing at 3.2% according to Biden. Not sure where Biden got his numbers and not sure which number is the truth. Anyway the Americans, especially the Administration in Washington never lie, always tell the golden truth. And the inflation number is only 3%, not 5%.

With such a solid economy, the above clip about job losses, businesses folding up must be fake news. Or if they are real, no problem, small problem. There is nothing wrong with the American economy.

At the worst, just print more money to inject into the economy. Biden just gave the American war economy a $95 billion boost. It is so easy to drive up the GDP of the American economy. Although this new money is supposed to be military aids for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel, these countries would not get a single cent. The money would be paid to the American industrial war complexes to make more weapons to be sent to these countries, meaning more jobs for the American weapon manufacturers.

The American war economy will always be rock solid. Any slowing down can always be overcome by starting a few more wars and selling more weapons. What about the civilian and commercial side of the equation? Who cares. They can lose jobs, close down their businesses. As long as the military war complex is doing well, the American economy can only go up, and so can the national debt.

Just have more wars and all is fine. And blame China and Russian for the wars, for starting WW3.

Iran Pakistan pipeline may go the way of Nordstream

 The USA is taking issue with the Iran/Pakistan gas pipeline that had just been officially approved by the Pakistani Government. Such disagreement trotted out by the USA will probably entail USA and Western sabotage eventually, like what they did with the Nord Stream pipelines.

The USA and the West will undoubtedly spin its narrative that Pakistan cannot help in Iran's military drones and missile technology, that had been demonstrated recently and is a threat to the USA, Israel and the West.

Of course, such a pipeline between Iran and Pakistan is not going to be business as usual for the US$. It is in reality another nail in the de-dollarization coffin. It will be barter trade or in Yuan or a new currency coming out from BRICS. Iran is not stupid enough to accept US$ from Pakistan for its gas supply to Pakistan.

Iran already did a US$400 billion trade deal with China some time ago - an oil for infrastructure deal that already bypassed the US$. Such deals are not small potatoes and other countries are doing the same to bypass the US$.

By the way, China must ignore the threats by Blinky and Yellen and not succumb to them, especially about cutting trade with Russia. Such demands will come thick and fast once China sets a precedent and angering Russia. A day may then come when the USA will demand that China leaves BRICS, as the alliance is making de-dollarisation a matter of survival for the US$ hegemony. Nothing is impossible in gangsterism or outside Mafia Law.

Wheel of Fortune is changing and turning against the white men

 No other country does not mean no country dared to. The world is changing. What goes up must come down. The Wheel of Fortune is changing.

By itself, Russia or China individually may not, I say may not only, be able to take down the USA militarily. But that does not mean Russia and China will always be at that inferior state of military capability, unable to progress.

Russia and China are now controlling much of the global resources needed for technology development - the raw materials around the world, the processing logistics, the supply chains that the world cannot do without. Russia is energy rich and a major food producer as well. China is a manufacturing powerhouse. Together they more or less complement each other - China's manufactured products and infrastructure development for Russian energy and food.

Now BRICS is expanding and although not a military alliance, it is an economic powerhouse. BRICS is aiming to be independent of the USA and Western control in setting grain and energy prices, and now setting up their 'Grain and Energy Exchange' which will be a big move. With Russia, Brazil, Iran, UAE and others playing pivotal roles in energy and commodities inside the exchange it can only grow exponentially.

The USA and the West can keep on pretending and deluding themselves that BRICS is not a threat and can just be brushed aside and ignored. This is still the mentality of the Whites. As if the rise of China is not a lesson in itself.

Thirty years ago, they thought that Chinese can only be cooks and laundrymen. Well, it was a blessing in disguise that they did not think it necessary to take down China like they took down Japan and Germany easily like obedient dogs but needed military intervention to take down Iraq and Libya.

Elon Musk postponed visit to India and went to China

 Elon Musk was supposed to go to India but postponed that trip. Instead, he is now in China and given the privilege of meeting Chinese Premier, Li Qiang. What can we gather from all this? It will be something interesting going forward.

Musk should know that investing in India is going to be problematic, with the shortage of engineering talents in India. The Indian education system had all along been about churning out graduates to cater to India's service industry like call centers, not engineers for manufacturing expansion. That is India's dilemma. It will take years to remedy that situation, like the USA today. Musk cannot afford to wait, knowing the EV industry is going through a revolution rather than a renaissance. Innovative ideas comes about tomorrow rather than months or years down the road.

There is now a spat between the USA and India over human rights in Manipur. The USA is caught in a bind, knowing it needs to criticize India or be accused of double standard in its criticism of China for the same issue in Xinjiang. Truth be said, the USA is discreetly interfering in India's internal affairs in more areas than we know off.

The USA is attempting to force India to stop helping Russia in the war in Ukraine over its energy trade with Russia, simultaneously doing the same with China. China already has given the USA its stand of continuing its trade regardless of the financial implications that Yellen had threatened. The USA has not yet threatened India in like fashion, knowing that India is still a useful pawn for the USA to use to counter China. India must know that what the USA is doing to China will one day be their turn to be demonized, what with all the boasting that India is pumping out about its ambition to become a superpower and becoming the 'factory of the world'. That means competing with the USA in every endeavor and capacity like China, right or not?

Trying to 'flash a broadsword in front of Guang Yu', is going to kill the Indian dream faster than anticipated.
