J20 entering Middle East

 The UAE are placing orders for China and the world's most advanced 5th generation fighter aircraft, the Chengdu J20. Having been rejected by the Americans for wanting to buy the dud F35, a blessing in disguise, the UAE is turning to China for the real thing, for their defense needs. 

It is weird to think that the Arab and Muslim states are still in a drunken stupor to clamour for American weapons when the Americans have always treated them as enemies, pariah states, sub humans or even animals. At best, the Americans would only sell them second rate weapons, no weapons that are superior or better than what the Americans would sell to Israel. The Americans would always ensure that Israel will have all the superior weapons over the Arab and Muslim states, to maintain dominance and control of the Arab and Muslim states. Israel is the sheriff of the Middle East. Have no doubt about that. Israel is to rule the Arab and Muslims in the region. Be very frighten of the Greater Israel scheme.

Even if the Americans were forced under exceptional circumstances to sell F35s to any Arab or Muslim state, it would be a watered down version, much inferior to the Israelis' F35s and unable to compete when they have to fight against Israel. Another good example, if the Americans decided to sell F35s to the Indonesians, these F35s would not be on par with the Singapore versions. Further, it is not just the aircraft alone that decides air superiority. There are the avionics and weapons systems. The Americans would only sell what they think is good enough but not a threat to Israel and American allies and cronies. And they could smuggle in software to kill the aircraft in flight if necessary, or stop the supply of parts and weapons. This is elementary.  Even a school can understand. It is surprising that the smart Arabs and Muslims could not see through these American ploys.

The French have offered to sell Rafales to the UAE, and willing to modify the aircraft to carry American weapons. Now, why would the UAE wants French aircraft that can be fitted with American weapons, knowing very well that the Americans would not sell them what they want, and would cut off the supply when they go to war with the Israelis? Are they that stupid?

Let's make it clear once for all. Arab and Muslim states are enemies of the Americans and the Jews and would not get the best weapons from the Americans and the West. Period. If they are suffering from stupidity cannot be cured sickness after centuries under the control of the Americans and the West and refuse to learn, unable to learn, then they deserved to be forever under the domination of the Americans and the West, and Israel.

J20s and Chinese weapons are their best bets if they want the best to take on the Americans, the Jews and the West, to be free from American and western control. Till now, many Arab and Muslim states still have American and western military bases in their soil, to keep them under the control of the white men. A very good example is Saudi Arabia, trying very hard to break out from the American stranglehood as an independent state, but unable to do so. The Americans are still coercing the Saudis from selling oil in other currencies, cannot join BRICS though already accepted as a member by BRICS. Saudi Arabia will not be allowed to be free from American control. This is how the vicious the American terrorists are. 

Indonesia still toying to buy F15 or F35 and did not learn anything? If the Americans did sell them these toys, yes, they would be watered down to be like toys and cannot be used in wars when needed.

Anwar Ibrahim is the best PM Malaysia ever produced. He can hold his court in any international forum with wit and decorum

 Thankfully, Malaysia under Anwar Ibrahim is standing up against the West. And that puts ASEAN in a better position to withstand the USA's agenda to loosen the blocs cohesive stance in relations with China. Trade is very important for these ASEAN countries, and China holds the key to their prosperity and continued developments.

ASEAN countries must continue to differentiate what they seek to have and what can the USA seek to offer to counter China. The choice is clear. Of course, there are obstacles that the USA will likely place in their paths using the norms, as demonizing narratives are already surfacing over the RTS link between Malaysia and Singapore. And attempts are being made to demonize Indonesia's HSR links to China.

In ASEAN, we can count on Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia and possibly Vietnam and Brunei to take a stand against the USA's agenda to break up the bloc. Indonesia is the defining country in ASEAN holding the reins and playing a pivotal role. The USA could clearly see that and is going all out to rein in Indonesia.

American Pier duplicity only exposes their stupidity

 Off topic, I would like to talk about the Middle East conflict and the clown show put up by the USA.

The USA was supposed to have built a sea pier on the Mediterranean coastline of Palestine for moving aid into Gaza. That pier was built by the USA Military, which supposedly must be a real robust military strength logistical equipment. The biggest joke was that the pier could not even withstand relatively strong winds and waves and broke apart just as soon as it went into operation.

That speaks volumes of the highly touted USA engineering capabilities. Social media pro-USA shrills like to cast aspersions at Chinese products calling them junks. Now who is turning out junks? The USA Military itself of course. But that sounds like good news for China and Russia, knowing what their common enemy's high military standard really means.

For a moment, I hope not being called another conspiracy theorist, I was thinking whether this pier breaking up was intentional, to help the Israelis fulfill their agenda of destroying the Palestinians using starvation. The Chinese Hokien call it 'kay puat toh' or pretend to fall or fail. That attempt to build the pier could be the USA ploy just trying to pull wool over the world's eyes that they are doing something to help the Palestinians, and that they knew it will fail.

If Israel is adamant about stopping aid flowing through the Rafah crossing which Israel now controls, why would the Israelis allow such similar aid to go into Gaza using that pier? It makes little sense. Was it really the weather that destroyed the pier, or something more sinister like what happened with the Nord Steam pipeline sabotage. Think about it!

Proud Japanese are waiting patiently for the kill. Do not be misled by their bowing

 How the Japanese could live with that nuclear horror is beyond belief. Were they harboring any resentments? Not that we can see on the surface, but then, the USA is not discounting that everything will be forgotten as well.

The Japanese probably realized and relate to how the rest of Asia feels about its atrocities committed during WW2. I believe they are just living with the troubling devil in their inner souls that cannot be exorcised.

But the poor Japanese are totally strangled at present. Even when trying to stabilize the Yen, they need to seek permission from the USA. And Janet Yellen is warning them not to go overboard. She probably fears the worse if Japan needs to sell off its massive treasury holdings to prop up the Yen, which is bad for the USA. That is how bad a situation the Japanese have dug themselves into today.

So, the Japanese are in desperate straits and God knows how this will end for Japan going forward. Nothing seems to work. Abenomics and Kishida-nomics failed. They thought that raising interest rates from negative will help, but it backfired badly. Doing what they did during the last two world wars, by attempting to expand its empire, is not going to work either. China, Russia and North Korea are no more weaklings that they encountered during the last two world wars.

US$1 trillion to pay interest... and escalating debt to start more wars and commit genocide

 And all that interest payment is eating into its GDP. A US$1 trillion a year is unimaginable for any other country on earth. Just imagine how much they could do with that money to help homelessness, renew failing infrastructures, erase escalating poverty and subsidizing medical care.

But all these are not on the agenda of the ruling elites. Their pre-occupation is throwing money into a black hole in Ukraine, subsidizing companies to set up factories that cannot ever compete globally, and creating wars that are sapping their military spending.

The irony is that the USA depends on a war economy, not a productive economy based on producing consumer products in exchange for goods made by others, but just printing toilet papers in exchange. How silly can the world be to fall for all this hubris is insanity. But change is coming soon when BRICS gets its system in order and working.

PS. The money is also to massacre the Palestinians. For the rest of the world, soon they would have nothing to buy from the Americans with the dollar, just like nothing to buy from India with rupees.
