USA and the West are producing politicians that are the laughing stock of the world

 Why is it that the USA and the West are producing politicians that are the laughingstock of the world. The most intelligent politicians that I come across on social media seems to come from some of the least or lesser- known countries of the world.

It really boggles the mind that some leaders in less developed countries are so smart and streetwise that they put the Western Leaders truly in the shade. Just watch how brilliant some leaders are, like Barbados PM Mia Amor Mottley. Her take on issues excellent, her countering of Western bias profound, her arguments solid, her conduct impeccable. Some African leaders today are equally outstanding.

The problem is that the MSM never gave them much coverage, only intent on giving valuable airtime to such ignoramus like Zelenskyy, Blinken, Ursula von der Leyen, stuttering Biden, gangster Trump and shrieking Kamala. Sometimes I really cannot understand what the latter three are talking about. They sounded gibberish, incoherent and senseless. Is English undergoing a renaissance that people like me now cannot understand without upgrading?

Karma works...Europe going from first world to third

 Karma works in mysterious ways. Now it is Europe going from first world to third, while Africa is rising from third world to second. No, not first world yet to be fair, but is possible. Never say never is what I always believe in.

Forty years ago, can anyone envisage Japan stagnating over the next three decades? Forty years ago, can anyone dare to bet against Germany getting gutted like this today? And forty years ago, does anyone ever expected China to rise so fast, making the USA nervous, paranoid, fearful and clueless, without a war to speak of.

Twenty years ago, Gordon Chang was harping about the collapse of China, when China was not even as developed as what it is today. Just harping on something does not always result in that happening. Did China collapse despite all the prophecy of gloom and doom? There was much harping over the collapse of Russia. Does Russia today even appear to collapse?

There is a God in heaven that makes all the decisions, above all human power and showboating. Man proposes and only God disposes. What God can do is shown in the recent Hurricane Milton and the tornadoes that followed in its trail. Does human power, all the nukes, submarines, aircraft carriers, F35s have an answer?

President Trump would ban EVs in the USA...and its colonies and crony states

 Trump is a fan of fossil fuel extraction. He even encouraged investments in fracking to extract more oil during his first term. To support his ideal of more fossil fuel extraction, Trump even claims that climate change issues are a farce. If Trump wins in November, ICE vehicle manufacturers in USA and Europe will be given a new short lease of life and EVs will not be allowed to proliferate in the USA and Europe.

But then, how are ICE vehicles manufactured in USA and Europe going to sell their vehicles outside of USA and Europe? Elsewhere around the world, climate change issues are encouraging countries to promote the use of EVs, instead of expensive polluting ICE vehicles. China is getting rid of ICE vehicles with registration for EVs encouraged and ICE vehicles not favored by Chinese citizens. EVs sold in South America, Africa, Middle East and ASEAN will be much cheaper than ICE vehicles without all the tariffs factored in. How are those vehicles from USA and Europe going to compete in markets outside the country? Either ICE vehicles manufacturers move with the tide or face imminent decline. The decline will be either fast or gradual. Keeping EVs out of the USA will just lead to a gradual decline and cannot be avoided. It will also stifle innovation in EV technology and be further behind China.

It is realistically a massive problem for the USA to encourage the migration from ICE vehicles to EVs. There are not enough recharging stations across the country to encourage US citizens to buy EVs. Unlike China, where charging stations are built across the whole country, the USA has not even started on its EV journey by building such charging facilities and it will take massive investments to catch up. It will take years even if it tries to do it now. By then, with EVs innovations, being introduced fast and furious, may make such massive investments in building charging stations end up as white elephants. Nio and Tesla are about to introduce the game changing idea of EVs without batteries to sell at even cheaper prices, using battery swapping technology. And the building of battery swap stations in China are picking up steam. If such endeavor succeeds, the novelty of charging stations may take a hit.

John Mearsheimer's advice to China...stop dreaming, stand up to the Americans

 

9 min clip with a very strong and simple message to China. Stop being foolish, stop dreaming. The only way to deal with the American terrorists is to play hardball with them, push back hard. Putin knows it, Iranians also know it. Has China learn anything or still begging the Americans to treat them as equals? Or is China going to go down on its knees to beg the Americans to treat them as equals?

All the problems China is facing in the South China Sea and the Straits of Taiwan and Taiwan's independence movement is because of China's weak knee policy, thinking that by begging the Americans, the Americans would be nice to them. It only got worse everyday.

The Global South countries are all waiting for this moment to take down the American Empire, to be free from American oppression and bullying. The wind of change is here to get rid of the evil American Empire. China can join the forces of resistance. The Global South have been waiting for China to step in. China can assume the leadership or fade into oblivion.

Zelensky holidaying in Europe to escape from the war

 Zelenskyy is making another begging bowl trip around Europe, begging for alms. Europe is getting sick and tired of his antics and some Europeans are saying enough is enough. Even the USA is on the verge of ending its 'Ukraine Project' and concentrating on 'Operation Middle East' with South China Sea and Taiwan on its radar. Zelenskyy will just be getting the left-over bits and pieces that Israel declined and probably telling the USA to just give to their friend Zelenskyy. If Zelenskyy refused to accept, sell to Taiwan. That is the pecking order now.

Russia is destroying Ukraine, and the USA and NATO knows there is nothing much they can do to help. They have exhausted their obsolete weapons and scrapping the bottom of the barrel for any old shovels they can send to Ukraine to fight the Russians. After all, the Russians are fighting with shovels and are winning the war and occupying more territories. Never thought that shovels are such lethal weapons.
