Who would China want as the next US president, Biden or Trump?

 This is like a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. Or better, between the scoundrel and a demented old man. What kind of choice is this? This is the best of American democracy, when the Americans are supposed to choose two of the most capable men to be their president, to lead their country. Instead, they are forced to choose two of the most unsuitable men that would lead them to history. One would lead by cheating, swearing and sleeping around. Another would lead by being led by whoever is handling him, holding his arm so that he does not fall or what into the wrong place.

Is this a political system that would throw up the best man to lead a country? Who would think this is the ideal political system, the best in the world, the best of a country? In reality, this is fake democracy, a political system that fails miserably for what it intends to do. One man one vote, not for the best man or woman, but a dud chosen for them by the mafia, or a corrupt gang of men and women in Washington, that were paid to do what the paymaster want them to do.

Who would China prefer? It does not matter really. China can live with either of them as they would mean nothing to China. They would in their own way expedite the decline of the dying American Empire by their thoughtless policy made like knee jerk reactions. No need much thinking, just good for the day. After all they only have 4 years to fill their pockets and bank accounts.

China does not need to bother whichever clown becomes the President of a decadent Empire. China only needs to chart its own progress carefully with long term plans for the well being of its people and country.

Good luck to Biden and Trump. Good luck to fake democracy America and the daft American hillbillies.

American dollar is safe haven, drugs and homelessness are lifestyle choice...keep spinning

 And the USA Government is unable to do anything about the drug problem. Honestly, Karma cannot just be stopped from working by brushing it aside and not believing in its mysterious way.

There are honestly many things that is still beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Take the Universe as an example. Who, how and why was the Universe created? They still do not know the answer, just using conjectures to explain. Even recent events disqualifying Pluto as a planet shows the uncertain thinking of the human mind.

There are a thousand and one ways that the USA is seen to be destroying itself. Most imminent is the atrocious debt of US$34 trillion and still the USA is spending like no tomorrow and printing toilet papers like crazy. But the world, allies and non-allies are not buying its latest tranche of Treasury bill offerings. The response was 'ugly' to quote Kevin Walmsley on 'Inside China Business'. It seems the only big buyers left were pension funds.

And Pension Funds are posing another serious problem and themselves reported to be unable to keep up, by earning enough from its investments, to pay off retirees. Most pension funds are literally bankrupt entities and will not last. This is a problem that is escalating but kept under wraps and seldom touched upon by the MSM.

Of course, the drug infestation problem is beyond control as well, and conveniently the USA is trying to blame China for its drug problems. Did China forced the USA to open up to the drug trade using gunboat diplomacy? China does not need to drug the USA to make it weak. The USA is weakening itself day by day, internally and externally.

Criminal activities also have connections to the drug problem, and the homelessness problem is the result. It is reported that drug addicts prefer living on the streets to avoid the law. But the authorities and MSM are spinning it into a 'song and dance' that living on the streets is a 'lifestyle choice'. Listen to that bullshit coming from the authorities. And with that, they believe they are justified to leave the homelessness problem to fester.

And of course, what will bring down the USA, if those problems above do not work, is the de-dollarization move initiated by BRICS. The effects are rippling silently across the world, though the USA and the G7 are still downplaying the inevitable.

Let them enjoy their warp sense of security and denial. The same way they were denying China's rise as of little consequence to the US$ hegemony. The Chinese can only be cooks and laundrymen and can never pose any threat to the superior Anglo-Saxon Whites and white pretenders like Japan.

Now they are realizing it too late and are fighting tooth and nail to keep China from rising further. And one USA Party is blaming the other for letting this happen.

Ukraine - What a profitable war for the Americans

 As NATO sends more weapons to Ukraine, obsolete weapons I would say, it benefits the USA's Military Industrial Complex. The USA already said so, claiming that all the aid given to Ukraine is coming back to the USA. That relates to new weapon sales of course, replacing old obsolete weapons in NATO, some of which were weapons left behind in those breakaway satellite states of the former USSR.

The sanctioning of energy from Russia already benefited the USA tremendously. But it is causing misery for the EU. German Industries are moving out because of expensive energy cost. Some are moving to the USA to take advantage of the subsidies trotted out by the USA, but some have chosen to move to China, with all the engineers and STEM graduates ready and available, with the supply chains already built up, and most importantly, the market that is needed.

That is why they need to expand the war in Ukraine, to keep it alive. And also supporting the Middle East war, even trying to escalate it. But that is causing problems that they USA, Israel and the West had not foreseen. The Houthis are disrupting shipping around the Gulf region and targeting ships from Israel in particular. This is not going away any time soon. This is the Houthis front yard, and they will stay around indefinitely.

They USA keeps prodding China to take the bait, using the Philippines as proxy to antagonize China, besides using Taiwan to keep tensions alive around the Taiwan Straits. China just has to keep its patience, knowing the fall of the USA is gaining momentum as de-dollarization and decoupling gathers steam.

The G7 bloc has already fallen behind the BRICS countries in terms of GDP and is falling further behind with new countries joining the BRICS bloc. The USA and other G7 countries can continue to deny the inevitable and brush aside BRICS de-dollarization program as immaterial, thinking that SWIFT and the US$ hegemony will be around forever. It is not working by just denying the reality.

Only in America where a President has to take drugs to stay alert

 Biden is not just half dead. He is already a 'walking dead'. Honestly, I think he is even on drugs. Trump probably knows that and is talking about Biden undertaking a drug test before their coming debate. Never in the history of mankind has this kind of request, verbally thrown up on the spur of the moment, ever been raised as a condition for a debate between aspiring politicians. Only in the USA, LOL!

The USA likes to brag about how high their President's IQ were, yet looking at the two candidates today, it baffles the mind about the USA's bragging rights compared to reality.

OK, we know that in the UK long time ago, Winston Churchill was not as bright and known to suffer mistreatment and criticism while in school for being slow in learning. But he did turn into a brilliant War Prime Minister later. That cannot be taken as a precedent anywhere else, right?

Indeed, Trump is comparing himself favorably to Abraham Lincoln, another assassinated USA President. They laughed at the comparison, which tells us the real mental quality of Trump. OK, if he is not smart, how could he be so rich, one can argue. Well, for a start, he inherited most of his wealth from his father, nothing more nothing less.

And that is why the inheritance tax he avoided paying is causing much consternation within the USA. Trump is well known for circumventing tax laws in the USA, thus his run up with the law over non-payment of tax. He even boasted about his cleverness in avoiding payment of tax, even as President. Only in the USA!

Biden/Blinken and Nethanyahu share same plan for the Palestinians...to be decimated like the Red Indians

 Biden does not even dare to antagonize Dictator Netanyahu, catering to his every whim and fancy. The only lame response he and Jewish Secretary Blinken did so far is asking irrelevant questions, like 'What is Israel's plan for Palestine'. Does Dictator Netanyahu need to tell Biden his plan, when he is acting like God Almighty - irresponsible, unresponsive to criticism and totally out of control. Sorry to say that, as God Almighty himself would not be so cruel and uncaring.

Netanyahu's plan is basically to annex Palestina and expand Israeli territory to build Israeli settler homes, needing to annihilate all the Palestinians using hunger, missile strikes, destroying hospitals, schools and even refugee centers. The Israelis airstrikes just killed 35 civilians, women and children, and shedding crocodile tears that it was a 'tragic mistake'. And the lame UN was just outraged over the killing of women and children. Did the Israeli Airforce also used an old map, LOL?

Egypt is now starting to get annoyed with what the Israelis are doing in Gaza. Their relationship is into troubled waters going forward. The Israelis are basically trying to force the Palestinian refugees into the hands of the Egyptian Authorities or face genocide. That ia a dilemma facing the Egyptian side.
