Macron is an idiot...asking Iran not to escalate instead of asking the Israelis and the Americans

 Macron is asking Iran to help to de-escalate the conflict in the Middle East, claiming that Iran had the mandate to do its part to those now leveraging on its help.

Is he really serious or pretend to be trying to play the angel to bring peace to the Middle East? His first priority in that direction should be to ask the USA to stop supplying more weapons to Israel to commit genocides, war crimes and assassinations all over the Middle East. After all, Israel is the recipient of all the USA aid and the USA should have the mandate and leverage to rein in Israel. Why is he not doing that and barking up the wrong tree?

Israel targeting and striking the UN peacekeeper's operation quarters is a war crime clear and simple. Netanyahu thinks he is God almighty and can do what he likes, without consequences. And yet the UN seems unable to mount any sensible counter to the Israeli act. Which sensible country is now willing to provide peacekeeping personnel for the UN if such terrorist act goes unpunished?

PS. This kind of white men's mindset, that they created all the troubles, started all the wars, but expecting the victims to stop fighting back, not to escalate. Iran's is the problem, China is the problem, when the real problem and provocatuers and aggressors are the Americans and Israelis. Why not tell the American terrorists and Israeli murderers to stop?

China gets ahead with long term planning by the CPC

 How China succeeded was thinking years ahead, supported by hardworking Chinese people, a cohesive national resolve to rise after the century of humiliation and shame, and putting everything into wanting a peaceful rise instead of resorting to wars and instigating conflicts to seize resources from others.

There was no jealousy seeing Japan, South Korea, Singapore and others rising and making good. China wanted its place within the circle of the Asian Tigers and succeeded. China took up all the challenges through grit and hard work, building up its manufacturing, securing all the raw materials, suffered all the demonization of its polluting industries, which it has since tried to get rid of with its building of clean energy sources like hydropower, solar and wind. These were soon to be demonized as well, and we now can see the demonization of EVs with all the tariffs.

Whatever China now creates, the USA and EU wants to destroy. China is introducing clean energy products like EVs, solar panels and wind turbines and the USA and EU wants to put a stop to that. All have been demonized one way or another. Wind turbines are killing birds, so said Trump. EVs are now catching fires all over the world and the world is burning, so reported an anti-China charlatan on social media.

In the final analysis, who is really trying to save the earth and who is trying to sabotage that mission?

BRICS and 160 countries creating a new world order

 If Zelenskyy gets the Nobel Peace Prize, that must be the 'Mother of all Misfortune' befalling the world. The Nobel Prizes have been hijacked for political gains over the years. It is becoming a joke and Afred Nobel must be turning in his grave.

Can the world not see that all these bodies, the UN, ICC, ICJ, IMF, World Bank, SWIFT, NGOs of all shapes and sizes, were all basically created to help the USA maintain and sustain its hegemony. On top of that are all the toadies, all having hands on the US hegemony pump, sacrificing themselves when needed.

The good news is that BRICS is clearly aware of the implications of being held hostage by the antics of those bodies and are moving into creating their own Commodity Exchanges for energy, metals, agricultural products and even a new global currency and settlement system. These entities of BRICS are conducting business outside the US$ and outside the control of the West.

Do not cast aspersion at those entities, as many countries inside BRICS are big players in the energy business, agriculture, mining and are rich in resources especially minerals.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE are big players in energy and with Iran and Venezuela potential BRICS members, you can just see the impact. Russia and Brazil among others are also big players in grain, food production and an expanding livestock sector all getting ready in the light of the China market moving away from the USA and EU. Africa is rich in mineral resources and there are big players in the scheme of things in BRICS. What does all this mean?

The USA and EU wants a trade war, they will get it in the face.

Ukraine War - Great news, North Korea joining the war

 North Korea is sending 12,000 soldiers to fight on the side of Russia against the American/European and Nazis. This move is unprecedented since the Korean War, a momentous event in international affairs. It directly pokes the American terrorists right in their eyes. In a way it is shocking to the lawless American terrorists. No country has ever confronted the Americans so directly without fear of retaliation since 1950.

The American terrorists have been terrorising the world with their lawless Rules Based Order, meaning what is right or wrong, acceptable or not acceptable, is dictated by the American terrorists. The American terrorists can start wars with any country, interfere and remove popularly elected govt, at their whims and fancy, and no one can stop them or even complain about it. The American terrorists can commit war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and no one dares to even say so. The ICJ and ICC would not dare to prosecute any American murderers or be assassinated. Instead, for conducting wars of invasion, they are even rewarded with the infamous and now rotten and smelly Nobel Peace Prize.

Countries are lucky if the Americans just sanctioned them for standing up against the Americans or supporting the enemies of the Americans. In this move, Kim Jung Un has as good as showing the middle finger to the American terrorists. He is supporting the Russians and fighting the Americans in a war! What can the Americans do about it?

And when the American terrorists are forming international terrorist gangs which they called military alliances, it is for peace. But other countries cannot do the same and would be called a threat to peace and security if they do so. And while the American terrorists can gather all their international terrorist gangs to support them in their wars of aggression, other countries cannot support their enemies to fight the American terrorists.  For instance the Ukraine War and the Gaza Genocide, only the American terrorists and their doggies and cronies can join them in the fight against. Any country joining Russia would be condemned as terrorists and be attacked and sanctioned, be called enemies.

Kim Jung Un's move is a sign of a big shift in international perception and reaction to the evil American Empire. The North Koreans are standing up to the American terrorists and inviting the rest of the world to do so. More countries would be thinking of joining the Russian side as well. The Arab and Muslim countries may be encouraged to join the Iranian and the Arab/Muslim freedom fighters in Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria to fight the American terrorists and Israelis Zionists.

The gate is wide open to confront the American terrorists directly as a united front. This is a major change. After the BRICS Summit in Kazan when a new alternative banking system and currency are announced and put in place, Global South countries would have no more fear or reservation to take sides against the American and European terrorists. Sanctions would no longer work. They would be free to act like the North Koreans, free to act on their national interests and on principles, to call out the American murderers and Israelis Zionist in the genocide of the Palestinians. Principled countries would then be really principled and not pretending to be principled, insulting the meaning of principles.

Great changes are coming, and North Korea has made the first move to show the way to a more just, equitable, fairer and freer world. Kim Jung Un has called out the real devil in name, by his action.

Only fools would not sell to the biggest market and would not buy from the cheapest seller

 Just wondering about the price of grapes that is now unthinkably cheap in Singapore. I understand grapes are even grown in South America, China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and I believe also in Malaysia. This is probably the reason for the competition forcing cheap grapes to be marketed here in Singapore.

So, how do grapes from USA and EU vineyards hope to compete? The answer is obvious. Even wine making is not enough to soak up the demand. Therefore, the future of vineyards in USA and EU are not that rosy. The USA can harp on the technology war against China, while taking their eyes away from other sectors. The same mistake they made of ignoring China over the last three decades and now fighting a losing battle. The USA was so embroiled in fighting terrorism then, it overlooked China rising.

Agriculture and livestock farming in the USA and EU are facing an uncertain future with China now targeting the two sectors. This is going to be a very important development, as without the China market, the agriculture and livestock farming sector in USA and EU are also going to shrink. A shrinking market will obviously shrink the sectors production capacity. That is basic knowledge.

China buying more grain and meat from the Global South countries like Brazil and Argentina and now Russia, will be a big loss for the USA and EU. That will give the Global South countries more incentives to grow more and raise more cattle and pigs for the Chinese market and decimate the Global North countries.

China is fighting a trade war against the West, using countermeasures that are going for the jugular and hurts the most. China is not fighting a trade war blindly like the USA and EU, that leaves gaping holes that are to be filled by alternative suppliers inside BRICS. China is going to decimate the West's agriculture and livestock production facilities and food security issues for them going forward.
