India wants to export rupees. Who wants rupees?

 India wants to make the rupee more acceptable but does not have the industrial capacity to do it, only just making loud noises that failed to convince other countries to accept rupees in trade.

Countries will accept payments in rupees if India can provide goods that can be exchanged with those countries holding rupees for trade. Using coercion is not the way to go.

India tried to force Russia's hand with some Indian oil refiners refusing Russian oil, but that means paying more which is committing suicide. Russia is not ruffled and knows that India is only playing musical chairs just for show.

Russia can always sell highly discounted oil to China, helping China's manufacturing to lower costs even more and producing even more competitive products for the world. The USA and the EU can talk about subsidies from the Chinese Government when they themselves are subsidizing its own chip manufacturers with billions. The pot cannot call the kettle black. It is a shameful excuse.

Global South led by Russia and China should pose the same threat to the Anglo Saxon terrorists

 Russia and China and perhaps with Iran and DPRK and with close cooperation from Jamaica, Mexico, Venezuela and Bolivia, must now sail their well armed military naval vessels and fly their nuclear armed bombers close to within 12 miles of US and Canada coast lines as well as close to England, France, Spain and Scandinavian countries coast lines. Well, this is a tic for tac reciprocity action. Do the sick and neurotic Anglo-Saxon Americans and their just as evil allies dare to protest. Well, see if they dare to fire the first short and to subsequently face complete annihilation by Russia and China within the first few minutes that they don't even have time to say their first prayer and Amen at all.

Last advice to satanic Anglo-Saxon Americans and its just as evil allies to behave or face total destruction and annihilation and obliteration from global earth.

PS. Indonesia's neutral position is now wavering after the Americans agreed to sell them compromised F35s. As the natural leader of Asean, it would be troubling should Indonesia take sides with the American terrorists.

Russian nuclear tit for tat with the American terrorists

 Russian warships together with a nuclear submarine just left Cuba after a visit. This is rebuilding old ties between Russia and Cuba. Russia can play the same game as the USA in East Asia. Russia is displaying hard power, while China goes for soft power.

In today's military situation, even without stationing missiles close to USA shores, as was done by Russia in 1962 during the missile crisis, striking the USA today across thousands of miles is still a piece of cake. And nuclear submarines can also get just as close to strike the USA as well, without having missiles in Cuba itself to do it.

Robot soldiers is now reported to be something real and happening. In time to come, war will take on a different perspective, with aircraft carriers and support warships losing importance. Instead of sending fighter jets on board aircraft carriers and travelling thousands of miles in order to do battle, the risk is that such an arrangement is almost a sitting duck for hypersonic nuclear missile strike from thousands of miles away. Cheaper, better and faster takes on a totally new meaning.

PS. The Cuban Crisis was started by the Americans placing nuclear weapons in Turkey. Russia replied by placing nuclear weapons in Cuba. It ended when the Americans pulled out nuclear weapons in Turkey.

Saudi Arabia the new target of American terrorism. MBS on their hit list

 Now it seems after 23 long years, supposedly new evidence is surfacing or should I say, being invented to target Saudi Arabia as mainly responsible for the 911 attacks.

Does it surprise anyone that this has anything to do with Mohammad bin Salman's many veiled insults and souring relations with the USA, besides ending the 50-year oil pact with the USA to use US$ for the oil trade? It is too uncannily obvious and perfectly timed to think of dismissing the connection. Giving a dog a bad name and then skinning it seems the objective. MBS is getting ready to be skinned, just like Saddam Hussein. This is intended to turn global opinion against MBS, to make him a real pariah.

All the years it was Osama bin Laden day in and day out, singled out as the mastermind of the attack. In the light of this, the war on terror in Afghanistan was all a misguided adventure. The country with the best intelligence gathering, with the best investigative resources in the image of the FBI, suddenly found out that they got everything wrong. Why are such 'new evidence' being trotted out just recently when relations with Saudi Arabia are souring by the day?

With no other avenues to make Saudi Arabia 'suffer the consequences' over the years, this looks like another Iraq War in the making. Using fabricated evidence to take down a country is nothing new for the USA.

China is not Ah Q and never will be

It deprives comprehension when little Italy arrests a Chinese ship carrying drones for Libya and Mickey Marcos Philippines adding more coast guard vessels and fishing boats to encroach on Chinese territorial seas and islands. For sure Italy and the Philippines are not doing these provoking actions on their own. Behind all these insidious actions there is always the big brother, the monster and satanic United States pulling the strings like the puppet master. Almost all the hostile moves or actions of NATO, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and the Five Eyes Anglo Saxons against Russia, China, Iran, Arab Muslims and DPRK are plotted and directed by the Evil Empire. 

China is not Ah Q1. China is adopting Ah Q as a political ploy or strategy. China will let the US poodles do as they please to see how far the evil empire is going with its hostile provoking actions. There is always a calm before the storm. Remember in the Korean War 1950 to 1953 the United States continued march across the 38th Parallel and right into Chinese border with Korea in the Yalu River inspite of Chinese warnings not to do so. Well, the Evil Empire did not heed China’s warning thinking a weak fledgling China would not dare to take on the mighty United States.

When China finally entered the Korean War to help defend North Korea’s DPRK, the evil empire and its over 50 so-called allies or rather poodles were in shock when China’s People’s Army Volunteers swept them away like a storm driving them to almost only a small enclave of the Pusan Perimeter before US massive reinforcements change the scenario.

The United States and its allies did not win the Korean Wars despite being a superpower of the time and a supremely armed military with nuclear hardware.

So in the present scenario China is watching US diabolical movements with eagles eyes to see how far and how wicked the evil empire would go before exercising the strategy of ‘calm before the storm’,
China is not Ah Q and never will be.
