Silly American colonies in Japan, South Korea and Europe wanting to sanction their biggest customer, China!

 Japan cannot follow de-dollarization as it is under the thumb of the USA. Even trying to prop up the Yen is not allowed. Janet Yellen warned Japan against over-reacting, knowing Japan will sell its US treasuries to buy Yen. Japan is a total puppet on a string.

Kishida thought that by raising interest rates from zero will change the situation. It failed miserably, despite Japan even spending billions to prop up the falling Yen. Japan is a very sick country economically today, all because of the USA's control of its economic direction. Yet Japan is following the USA's dictate to sanction China. Just like the EU, Japan is going to sink into oblivion. Only 10.4% of Japanese in a poll wants Kishida to remain as PM.

It is ironic that some countries have still not realized the consequence of following the USA after seeing what the EU is turning into just by sanctioning Russian energy. Russia is not yet on the level of China in economic strength and clean energy innovation. Sanctioning Chinese EVs is a slap on the face of the USA and the EU.

BYD is pulling out investments in Europe and migrating to Mexico. The Mexicans are welcoming them with open arms. Jobs will be created and EVs made in Mexico will flood the South American and Global South market. BYD is perceptively distancing itself from investing in the USA and Europe for good. There is a bigger market in the Global South, which it is eyeing and will dominate. What are USA and EU EV makers going to do to compete? Cost wise they are unable and unthinkable to do so.

And with China also erecting tariffs against USA and European cars entering the Chinese market, it is a no brain move by the USA and EU to raise tariffs against Chinese EVs to the heavens. It will hurt their own carmakers more than China. And it will certainly hurt their own consumers buying expensive cars that others in the Global South are paying much less for.

Suffice to say, shooting their own feet seems to be the intention of the USA and the West. So be it.

America continues to perpetuate genocides in Gaza and Ukraine

 The Ukraine War started well before 2022, but the USA and the West are trying to promote the Ukraine War as a Russian invasion without provocation. The War against Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbass region started in 2014 or even earlier in 2008. But this part of history is never invoked to give a real picture of the background. Those who took the Western propaganda at face value will condemn the Russians as invaders for no reason. That was supposed to be their 'Principled' stand.

The Israeli/Hamas war followed the same pattern, just promoting the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, as without provocation. All those years of Israeli forced occupation and seizing of Palestinian lands to build Israeli settlements was never mentioned as the real cause of the Hamas attack. Hamas was just taking up the cudgel on behalf of the Palestinians in Gaza, just like the Russians in the Donbass region. Again, those who took the propaganda at face value will condemn the Hamas attack of October 7th on Israel as unprovoked.

Strangely, unprecedented, overwhelming and overreacting Israeli attack on a smaller state was not considered an 'Unprincipled' invasion. It was genocide on every scale to extinguish the Palestinians for more land to build Israeli settlements. And who was behind the Israeli action? It does not need a three-year-old child to figure that out, LOL.

In the language of the USA and the West, those opposing them are accused of being terrorist. And the MSM and cronies will repeat the chorus over and over again. The irony is that such propaganda will stick for those not wanting to find out the truth.

Mahathir destroyed, Anwar builds. Mahathir drove away Malaysian talents to Singapore

 The irony is that when Malaysia gets a good leader, Singapore will bear the consequences. All the years of the Mahathir Government principally provided Singapore with all the advantages to grow and prosper at Malaysia's expense. Mahathir was not leading the country forward but nitpicking on issues and feathering his and his children's pockets, creating racial disharmony to remain in power and harming the country. While Anwar Ibrahim was more forward thinking as his deputy, that did not end up well for him in the eyes of Mahathir. He was punished with trumped up charges.

Anwar Ibrahim sounds like a good leader now leading the country forward. But the problem is that he has not yet garnered the full support in Government and has to rely on the tainted UNMO to form a coalition. This is preventing him from exercising his leadership role without hindrance. And the opposition, PAS in particular, and Mahathir are dead set against him. An IS plot against the Malaysian King and Anwar has just been uncovered and arrest made. Who is behind it is going to be interesting. Mahathir had earlier been associated with another plot dubbed 'The Dubai Move' to remove Anwar. Of course, Mahathir denied all links to that attempt.

Talents from Malaysia who came to study in Singapore refused to return to serve the Malaysian side. Most stayed behind, became citizens and contributed to Singapore's growth instead. With incentives like jobs paying multiple times what they can get in Malaysia, who does not want that.

Past leaders like Goh Keng Swee (born in Malacca), Hon Sui Sen (born in Penang) and Howe Yoon Chong (born in China but migrated to Malacca) were also Malaysians who remained behind after separation, providing Singapore with the talents and insights in Government. But of course, they would never be given the opportunity to contribute their talents under the racially biased UMNO Government ruling Malaysia.

Taiwan - Only a military coup can save the Taiwan Chinese

 Lai ChingTe's pro independence gang has hit a road end. The Americans have told them that independence is no go. The Americans by now have assessed the situation thoroughly and know that the Chinese could easily send them into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in an open war. The Americans would not sacrifice the life of a single American for Taiwan, an island that has little strategic importance to the American Empire. It makes no difference if Taiwan were to return to the motherland. It is only useful as a tool to irritate China and make the stupid Taiwanese pay by the billions without having to deliver the weapons they bought.

What is happening in Taiwan today is as good as a bunch of drunkards and imbeciles thumping their chests and dreaming of taking Taiwan away from China. The only consequence in this silly antic is that up to a point, China would have to step in by force to bring about a reunification. It could lead to a few days of bloodshed before the imbeciles and drunkards know that their wet dream would just be that, that they cannot change the fate of Taiwan.

The best thing to happen to Taiwan, to prevent a bloodbath of the reckless and unthinking Taiwanese is for the Taiwan military to step in, arrest all the DPP and pro independence leaders in a bloodless coup and negotiate with China for a peaceful reunification. Many lives would be saved, Taiwan would not be turned into a wasteland, everything would remain intact, life could go on as normal without hanging on a limbo.

The DPP and pro independence gang could not make any headway except to talk big about their wild dream of independence, to agitate the Taiwanese to want to knock their heads against a wall. But many Taiwanese are pragmatic people and would not want to die for a hopeless cause. Some may choose to die, but their deaths would not change anything.

On the other hand, there is no real and charismatic leader in Taiwan to lead the Taiwanese home. Taiwan would just be an apple rotting from inside, going nowhere. And the noose would be tighten day by day. The Taiwanese are waiting for a decisive leader to end their anxiety and move on. And since the political leadership is so weak, and running out of ideas, the military is the last hope to put an end to this dilemma. Once the military steps in and takes charge, the majority of the Taiwanese would go along with the reunification. Anything is better than what is happening or not happening in Taiwan now.

The Taiwanese people are waiting. Why is the Taiwanese military still hesitating? The political leadership is clueless and helpless, except talking like drunkards and imbeciles and making themselves look silly.

American colonies in same situation as China in the 1930s

 

 In the early 1930s in China, with many territorial concessions given to the foreign invading powers, China was cut up into pieces like a water melon. The 8 western powers, Japan was one of them, had their own territories in China which they called their own, administered by their respective police forces, their own laws and their own soldiers. Japan was particularly notorious with a huge army operating inside China, ruling over China like a colony within a colony. They employed the Chinese to work for them under Japanese rules and laws. And with their military forces, they planned to take over China by force, to colonise China with the help of the Chinese in their employed, with traitors and willing Chinese conspirators. China's sovereignty was at stake with the enemies inside China, on Chinese land.

The situation of many modern states with foreign military bases are very similar to the concession territories in China. The foreign powers actually own the land in the bases, have their own laws, police and soldiers to protect themselves, and if necessary, to take over the countries concern with their military forces. Can you imagine what a foreign power can do with their own military bases, airfields or ports, to stock up all the weapons needed to serve their interests, not the interests of the host countries?

What is happening in Europe is a stark reminder to other countries about having foreign military bases in their land. Japan and South Korea are two very unhappy occupied countries, with many American bases forced upon them, in the name of protecting them, but in reality, turning them into American colonies. Their military presence means they can decide who would be the leaders of the respective states, ie leaders that are pro America, like propping up Zelensky after initiating a coup in Ukraine. Any leader that is not pro the foreign power ie Americans, would be removed by regime change. Saudi Arabia is in a similar situation. They cannot get the American bases and soldiers out of their country.

Today, the Philippines are happily inviting the Americans to set up more military bases, up to 9 from 4 bases, to turn the Philippines into a de facto American colony. And the Pinoys are very happy about it. Or at least they are not protesting like how they protested to chase the Americans out of Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base in the 80s. Now they are welcoming the Americans soldiers back with open arms. Maybe they are planning to be the 52nd state of the USA. 

The Americans are now in a position to decide who would be the President of the Philippines, and now working with Marcos to change the Philippines Constitution to allow him to be president for two terms. Another option is to raise tension and declare martial law like his father and rule the Philippines for as long as he likes. The Pinoys are increasing losing the right to decide what is good for the interests of the Philippines and another dictator Marcos is in the making.

The era of independence movements, independence fighters is over. Fighting for the independence of a nation state, to rule themselves, by their own people, is no longer a desirable thing to the Philippines. They chose to be ruled by the Americans. Similarly, the Taiwanese are very happy choosing to be ruled by the Americans and the Japanese. Who else is next, to want to invite foreign military forces to reside in their own land and to rule over them, to decide who should be their national leaders, with the approval of the foreign power?
