Lockheed Martin offers very long range radar for Singapore's defence

 This is good news to Singapore. The 3D AESA TPY-4 radar has a detection range of 1,000km, and its functions include airspace monitoring, unmanned aerial system surveillance, ballistic missile detection and monitoring, maritime area surveillance, and satellite monitoring, functions that a super power like the USA needs.

With the TPY-4 Singapore would have the capability to detect aircraft and ballistic missiles coming from China and enemies 1,000km away. It would even be better if Singapore acquires something that can monitor space to detect aliens and meteors to protect its citizens. Singapore would thus be able to defend not only enemies on earth but also aliens from outer space. It definitely would be money worth spending. Hope the Americans are not treating Singapore as a rich cash cow to milk. Maybe they can offer some ICBMs to Singapore as well to defend against imaginary enemies.

Not sure how much is the TPY-4 radar system going to cost Singapore. Offering does not mean it is free. But Singapore must be very grateful as such great defence system would only be offered to good friends like Singapore, and not offered to our neighbours. And the Americans think Singapore needs it. Not sure if Singapore believes it needs such a great defensive radar situation, to protect against what?

By the way, who is Singapore defending against? Singapore got enemies 1,000 km away?

Chinese suffering from 'Stupidity has no cure disease'

 Why are the Chinese still investing in India when they are obviously not welcomed?

Direct passenger flights between China and India have been suspended for four years and have not yet been restored.

As the two most populous countries in the world as well as neighbors, not having direct flights is obviously extremely abnormal. At present, India still imposes strict visa restrictions on Chinese citizens. Chinese people applying for business visas are faced with all kinds of difficulties.

Most Chinese students admitted to Indian universities fail to obtain Indian visas.

Chinese journalists in India have also encountered discriminatory treatment such as rejection of visa renewal applications and forced departure within a time limit. There are no permanent journalists between the two countries and media exchanges have been thwarted.

In addition, since India tightened restrictions on investment from China in 2020, about 200 investment applications from Chinese companies are still waiting for approval by the Indian government.

Not welcomed, but thick-skinned Chinese still want to go to India and then complain about mistreatment !

Useless UN would soon be replaced by BRICS

 The UN wants Russia to comply with sanctions against North Korea. Who imposed sanctions against North Korea? Not Russia or China, so why should they comply to help the USA and the West? After all North Korea is now an important strategic partner of Russia and China, just like NATO is to the USA. The Russians, Chinese and North Koreans do not call it 'iron clad' alliance, but just all-weather partners, that cannot be eroded by rusting.

At the UN, not every country must comply with UN declaration. Not all countries voted to sanction Russia over the Ukraine War. The UN deliverance is often skewed in favor of the USA and the West, and this is well known and often been taken up by many UN members of the Global South.

What about the UN asking USA and NATO to stop sending weapons to Ukraine and Israel? Genocide is ongoing in Gaza and had been committed in Eastern Ukraine against Russian speaking Ukrainians. The UN just closed its eyes and mouth - seeing nothing, saying nothing and doing nothing. Who does the UN represent? The USA and the West or the Global Community at large? It is time for BRICS and the Global South to have its own world body with neutral jurisdiction. No country must have a bigger say just because of its bigger contribution. That is bribery by any other name.

Rise of the South Korean Klowns

 South Korea summoned the Russian ambassador over Putin's visit to North Korea and his threat of supplying the North with weapons.

Russia's ambassador should ask the South Koreans what about South Korea supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight the Russians, despite repeated warning from Putin. The South Koreans think they are also bestowed with the same 'exceptionalism' as the USA doing what it likes without consequences. The Russians are just paying back the South Koreans with the same coin. Russia is now telling the South Koreans that nothing that the South Koreans can do against Russia is without consequences.

Vietnam likewise must not forget that during the Vietnam War, South Korea was the biggest supporter of the USA, with more than 300,000 rotating troops in Vietnam fighting against the North.

Free loading Americans think the dollar will forever be the reserved currency

 Everything the USA did is just shooting its own foot. But they do not think it is important. The USA is around just to take all the benefits today and the future will look after itself. Their toilet paper is going to remain the global reserve currency forever, or so they think. They were wrong and found out too late.

The USA wanted to take advantage of cheap 'slave labor' and moved their manufacturing to China. They enjoyed the cheap products for decades, made by Chinese and also their companies paying just 'slave wages' to Chinese workers. It was a wonderful arrangement, with others producing and USA citizens just merrily freeloading.

Then China progressed by leaps and bounds over the last three decades and they were caught flat-footed and suddenly they woke up and screamed that China stole their jobs. They also accused the Mexicans and South Americans of entering the country and also stealing their jobs. Jobs that their own people do not want were stolen by Chinese and Mexicans among others.

When they needed Chinese and Black slaves to work their mines, build their railroads, work in their cotton fields, no leader in the USA complained about Chinese, Blacks and others stealing their jobs in the USA itself.

Now, the USA is throwing subsidies to attract EU manufacturing to the USA. Is the USA stealing jobs from the Europeans? Of course, the EU will not say so. After all, what can vassal states say to their master? Even told to bend over backwards, they will just take it in the arse.
