The defeat and downfall of US imperialism is near

 From the end ofthe Second World War to mid 1970s some political pundits accepted uncritically that the US was at the height of its power unrivalled in military and economic strength. But Chairman Mao Tse-Tung did not feel that way. Chairman Mao Tse-Tung said, "All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people . Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown ? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it will also be overthrown. It, too is a paper tiger."


Of course Chairman Mao Tse-Tung did not mean we can dismiss the awesome military strength tactically. In dealing with the present reactionary US administration, the countries of the South led by BRICS with the guidance of Russia, China and Iran will adopt the correct strategic perspective in facing the Anglo-Saxon American aggression.

We can see how US power was first being curbed at the Korean War by China. Then US suffered dishonourable defeat at the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan war and had to beat some retreat in its savage ventures in South America and Africa. The defeat and downfall of US imperialism is yet to happen and of course in the not too distant future.

Americans and Israelis cannot kill 80m Iranians. They are not Red Indians

 The USA is always threatening those when it sees them as basically weak opponents. That was how they went into Vietnam, thinking the North Vietnamese were just easy meat. At one stage the USA had half a million troops fighting in Vietnam, on top of support from allies like South Korea, said to be the biggest force helping the USA, with about 300,000 rotating troops fighting in the Vietnam War. Getting entangled, they eventually found themselves fighting a war that they cannot win against the North and fled with tails between their legs.

The USA also went into Afghanistan, thinking it was a piece of cake with the Taliban farmers just using obsolete small arms compared to their big guns. They calculated wrongly and after 20 years of wasted effort, also fled with tails between their legs.

These are lessons that smaller and weaker countries have taught the USA that not all small countries are necessarily weak. The USA may have the same confidence trying to destroy Iran. They better believe than Iran is not that easy to destroy. History will bear testament to that. They Iranians are as tenacious as the Vietcong and the Taliban, and we know their history well enough. Iran has been reported to have tested a nuclear device recently and this is enough to tell the USA and Israel that there are unknown unknowns that may yet surprise them.

BRICS - Freedom from the American terrorists

 There was a discussion about BRICS on Channel News America aired days ago, where many so-called experts were expressing their enlightened views. I was deeply disappointed with some of the shallow arguments by some of the views expressed by some of the experts, undoubtedly pro-USA hardcore elements in their biased espouse.

One particular expert was harping on the issue of what was the purpose of forming BRICS and according to him serves little purpose of value. Really? As a non-expert, I know that the purpose of creating BRICS was de-dollarization first and foremost, with finding an alternative solution to overcome the weaponization of the US$, which is getting more ridiculous. I think this view is shared by most people with a working brain.

Elsewhere, some anti-China shrills are even trying to fabricate issues, claiming that China and Russia are not as co-operative with each other and picking on small incidents and making them into big explosive talk that China and Russia are breaking apart or that their co-operation will not last.

In my humble opinion, whether the relationship last or not is immaterial. If the relationship can get rid of the US$ hegemony, it has already served its purpose. And the whole world will be thanking what BRICS has done to give them an alternative to trade in their own currencies, cheaper, faster and more convenient and avoiding sanctions.

Lebanon and Arab countries would not trust western products

 Lebanon will begin importing more telecoms products from China after a wave of deadly attacks last month that targeted electronic devices, according to a Lebanese business group, which said the West had “lost credibility”.

Ali Al Abdullah, president of the Lebanese Chinese Business Association, said his country, along with “many other countries”, would reduce purchases of tech products from Western countries and “turn east for technology” due to safety concerns, adding that Western companies would “suffer major losses”.

“What happened is a lesson for Lebanon and the world,” he told China Global Television Network in an interview aired on Sunday.
