November/December retail sales will hit all records with USA citizens flocking to buy...economy robust?

 This November/December retail sales will hit all records with USA citizens flocking to buy upfront before prices escalate in January. After all, Christmas spending is a must as well, and the economy will be reported to be robust and setting all records. Trump is going to harvest all the credit for sure.

There are reports that USA citizens are even maxing out their credit card spending, which means more debts are being accumulated. I read with amusement, understanding wrongly or not, that the USA can just cancel its debts to others, as someone really gloated. How is that possible? Are USA citizens also thinking that all their debts can be cancelled as well when the shit hits the fan - home mortgages, car loans, education loans, credit card debts. 'Exceptionalism' must have gone to their heads as well.

Trump can outdo anyone in the world in anything

 Trump can outdo anyone in the world in anything. His six bankruptcies are already a good indication of his ability.

Trump can lie and get away with anything. Mexico will pay for the wall, he gloated. Did Mexico pay for the wall? He will drain the swamp, he promised. Was the swamp drained? Trade wars are easy to win he pointed out. So much winning and yet he needs another four more years to 'Make American Great Again' I cannot understand and at a loss for words.

Trump can tell the most audacious lies and get away with it. Drinking horse de-wormer will kill COVID virus he advised. Injecting insecticide into the body will also kill the COVID virus, talking like a three-year old kid.

At his age he just discovered that hurricanes are very wet. And to stop hurricanes he wanted to send a nuke into it. His latest discovery was that tariffs are the most wonderful invention of mankind. This is now his favorite buzzword - tariffs, tariffs and more tariffs. His first term buzzword was - China, China and more China.

US and UK attacking Russia, what is Putin waiting for?

Within weeks, Putin suffered two very serious set backs, the fall of Syria that he set out to protect, and the assassination of his top general right in Russia. Putin is reputed to be a tough man. Now, when is Putin going to live up to his reputation as a tough man?

The Americans, Brits and the French, all cruel and vicious colonial masters, are pushing for WW3, and Putin's red lines have been crossed many times. Perhaps Putin is working out his retaliation plan. The meek shalt not inherit the world.

It may be a bit too much for Putin to hit the major cities in US, UK or France. How about their foreign bases in the region? A nice and convenient target would be UK base in Cyprus. This 'has been' Mickey Mouse still behaving like it is the Empire and wanting to fight wars everywhere. Putin should put it in its place by flattening its Cyprus base. Putin has a lot of warships in the Mediterranean Sea. As for France, Putin has a number of military forces in North Africa to kick the asses of the French occupation forces in the Africa states. The African states would be grateful to him. America has many bases in the Middle East that are ripe to be hit.

What is Putin waiting for? The Americans, Brits and French are playing the chicken game with him and so far he is looking like a chicken. Russian targets had been hit several times, his general assassinated and no action from tough man Putin.

Is Putin getting old and lame? Oh, this is what he said:

“We will determine the targets during further tests of our newest missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation,”

“We believe that we have the right to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”

Why are we waiting, why are we waiting?

Is the American cost of living bearable...under Trump's pea brain policies?

 No western media or Channel News America boys and girls would be asked to question such an issue. Either they all believes that the American economy is rock solid, has a lot of depth and its strength cannot be underestimated, or they were not told to write about it.

Paul Krugman has said inflation would kill off the American economy when Trump starts his anti immigrant policies to remove the illegal and legal immigrants. With the depreciating value of the dollar, the high inflation is, in a big way, alleviated by the immigrants doing the low level jobs to keep cost of living low. When American businesses cannot employ cheap migrant labour, the cost of labour for businesses must go up and directly affect the cost of living and inflation.

Can the average Americans survive a runaway inflation with so many policies and factors that are going to drive inflation sky high? All the sanctions against China would only push the prices of essential and 'good to have' consumer items up. The Americans have been quietly benefiting from all the cheap and good Chinese goods made easily available to stretch their diminishing income and value of the dollar.

The combination of high prices caused by sanctions and tariffs on Chinese goods, and the shortage of cheap immigrant labour would be a double whammy on the cost of living, with prices of goods and services going against the interests of the average American households.

How is D grader Trump going to navigate through these hurdles created by him in his trade wars with China? Trump is digging a big grave to bury all the average Americans in. Instead of thanking China, be grateful to China, and also the millions of cheap labour from the illegal and legal immigrants, Trump is going to choke these two major contributors that kept cost of living low or at least bearable.

Trump did not win his trade war with China in his first term, and not in his second term. What is sure to happen is high inflation and high cost of living for his loyal supporters. Hopefully they are able to live with it or can afford the high prices of everything that China produced or their substitutes if they could find any.

Trump is good riddance to bad rubbish.

The never ending wars of the American savages and the exploitation of their lackeys and doggies

 The democratic system now needs all the 'compulsive liars' to hype up its fake benefits. But the 'compulsive liars' can no longer hide the truth about China, cannot engage in open competition with China and needs all the help and assistance of the doggies to contain China.

The USA has to rope in the Anglo-Saxon Whites of Europe to support its agenda, using threats and fear mongering to force allies and cronies to support its interest in order to fight its battle against China and BRICS. In the light of all this, how great really is the USA despite all the gloating about its greatness.

The USA needs the full support of NATO to fight Russia, afraid to go at Russia alone and using Europeans as sacrificial lambs to carry out its agenda. Perhaps it has this latent fear of facing another Vietnam or Afghanistan and has to outsource its fear of another defeat to the Europeans.
