America main objective is to destabilise the world to remain as the sole hegemon

 

Scott Ritter: US Sparks BRICS Instability - Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict 23 min

A revealing conversation by Scott Ritter on the intent of the Americans to destabilise the world to remain dominance in the world, and the treacherous Indians trying to make a fool of themselves and walking dangerously while the Americans are exploiting them and would pull them under the bus when the Indians are no longer useful. The Americans are only for themselves, the exceptional people to rule the world.

USA is like a cancer spreading globally

 The USA is like a cancer spreading globally, with its more than 800 military bases around the world.

Once a cancer takes root, it is very difficult to remove it. It will fester and kill the victim finally. Ukraine has reached the terminal stage of that cancerous growth. The Philippines is still in its first stage cancer infection, progressing towards the second stage.

And likewise, the EU is fighting the effects of its cancer affliction, and it is killing its industrial base and its energy immunity system.

Internally the USA is also fighting a cancerous battle. The issues are daunting, the denial unfathomable, the consequence unrealized. The escalating debts, the polarization within the country, the wars that are sapping its military equipment manufacturing, the problems associated with its decoupling with China with its access to raw materials now dominated by China, its inability to compete globally with China in renewable energy are all extracting a toll on its reign as a continuing superpower status.

You seize my assets, I seize yours. Who is the end loser?

 That is provided the weapon sales to Ukraine is going to be paid back at all. Ukraine now even needs the help of the NATO countries, using seized Russian assets, to fund its on-going war with Russia. And we are not even talking about rebuilding infrastructures that have been destroyed by Russia.

Ukraine can never repay the USA for those weapons or aid. Nothing can be retrieved from a black hole. It is gone forever. Biden is living in dreamland, thinking that repayment can probably come from the US$300 billions of Russian assets, most of which are in Europe. But talking about it is just theoretical hubris if he is going to be out in November. The feel-good ecstasy for the voters is not going to last. Russia will likewise seize the assets of USA companies in Russia, which are also substantial. Who will have the last laugh is still unknown.

China must also be wary of investing further in the USA or the West. In fact, it is time now for China to accelerate divesting in the USA and Europe, looking at their targeting of Chinese products. The USA is no longer investible, and Europe is highly risky for Chinese companies to invest going forward. This is a blessing in disguise for the Global South, which will benefit from Chinese money investing in their country instead. And why not for China to do that, with lower wages and cost to boot.

Decoupling is never more important for China. The USA wants it, China could help.

PAP policies in Hougang

 If I remember correctly, Lawrence Wong was the one who spoke his mind about framing policies to punish Opposition Wards from having access to estate improvements and keeping the opposition estates in poor condition compared to PAP wards. I could not find any of the article about this, but if my memory is faulty, I apologize. Nevertheless, the narrative is true.

Wong claimed that the more repressive the policies are against opposition wards, the more resentments the people of those wards will harbor against the PAP. More repressive stance against them will harden their resolve and the PAP cannot hope to regain such wards, as proven in Hougang. The most telling evidence must be the old man's presence at an election rally in Aljunied GRC years ago, talking about HDB prices, and yet losing that GRC ward to the Workers Party in a historical setback for the PAP.

Of course, the mainstream upgrading program was stopped years ago, after the puncturing of the myth that HDB flats will continue to increase in value after undergoing upgrading. When someone asked whether that still holds true when the lease of the flat reaches 99 years, the PAP leaders were stunned. The PAP knew the cat was out of the bag and stopped the main upgrading programs that they had leveraged on to win votes for years or even decades.

Over the years I have noticed discreet changes in the PAP Government's stand regarding Hougang, a constituency that I have lived in for close to 39 years. Lately there were lift upgrading, home improvement programs like toilet upgrading and other improvements in common areas. Suffice to say, that was one reason I voted Tharman, sorry for that, in the recent Presidential election, a move that I would never have done before in any election, of ever voting for the PAP or those connected with the PAP.

Hougang is now a different estate that even those who moved out earlier have noted the new environment unfolding before their eyes. My two kids who moved out to Punggol after their marriage have still expressed their fondness for the laid-back estate which they grew up in, every time they visit us.

USA is rotting from within and destroying itself on the outside

 Some people believe that Obama is still having a strong hold on Biden, especially in some of his policies. And of course, the Deep State has, as always, been the biggest mover in USA politics, having the biggest say in what USA Presidents should and must not do.

Blinken may come and go after four years. The Deep State has been around for decades or will be around in eternity. The Pentagon, Big oil, Big Pharma, Wall Street's big banks and businesses and certain families that used to rule the USA are all components of the Deep State. The Deep State is just a collective term used to denote its presence. Its influence is phenomenal and untouchable.

USA politics is all about which Presidential candidate can come up with the most anti-China or Russia narrative, and the voters will lap up all the 'feel good' speeches. This is one example that is now apparent in what we are seeing in the escalation of tariffs concerning EVs made by China.

And you can bet it is the Big Oil lobby putting all the pressure on the two duds. Trump is all for big oil, with his favorite fracking moves in his first term being his most ambitious project. That is why he is against the climate change narratives all along. He called the proponents of fighting climate change as just promoting a 'hoax'. And can you figure out why he is so critical of EVs and upping the stakes?

But never mind, what we are seeing today is going to be who can destroy the USA faster - Biden or Trump. Before that happens, they will probably be destroying each other. They are tearing the USA apart. Deep polarization is never more apparent than during the civil war between the Union (The North) and the Confederacy (The South).

And it is a blessing for the rest of the world. As I said earlier, the USA is rotting from within and destroying itself on the outside. Keep that in mind.
