Changing fortunes of EU and Myanmar

 One other aspect of what China is doing has more or less escaped the eyes of many watching the geopolitical and economic changes going on around the world. Most of the talk had been about China dominating more and more of the manufacturing sectors in almost every domain, except creating wars, printing money and instigating regime changes.

China is also diverting its agricultural imports and meat from the USA and Europe in a big way, but subtlety of course, migrating towards Brazil, Russia and other Global South countries. The beauty of such a move is tying this to the BRICS de-dollarization movement, dispensing with the need for the US$. This is depriving USA farmers from getting information about what to grow for next season.

Besides that, Chinese domestic agricultural and fishery growth have been ignored largely by the West. The old adage that food shortage and famine will befall countries like China and India have fallen out of fashion, and enough food is found to be available for Asia. Coupled with this scenario is the expectation that global population will stabilize at 9 billion. In fact, the rapid growth of agricultural sectors for the China market from less traditional sources, the reality is that its growth is even decimating the agricultural sectors of USA and Europe. The real food crisis might happen in the USA and EU, when farmers cannot sell their products, has to grow less and less and even go out of business, which may contribute even to food security issues that could develop in the biggest monolithic agricultural nation, the USA. This is not an exaggeration, but denial is always conveniently available. Of course, using subsidies to help them survive may work, but for how long? Indefinitely?

Decades ago, Myanmar (Burma) was dubbed the rice bowl of South-East Asia, producing much of the rice feeding today's ASEAN. Today Myanmar is not even able to export rice, being overtaken by Thailand and Vietnam. This is the kind of situation that is developing in the USA and EU. Never say never, or impossible.

EU countries' self sacrificing rites to protect the American Empire

 Countries that flirted with the USA are like following the 'praying mantis mating ritual', with the smaller male getting eaten alive after serving its purpose. But it seems like such natural phenomenon also extended to countries looking for trouble, like the Philippines. Nothing also more apparent than the Europeans serving as collateral damage over sanctions on Russia, backfiring on the EU alone. The EU could have enjoyed its continued prosperity with even cheaper Russian energy with the Nord Stream 2 in operation. But they choose to sacrifice themselves for the USA's interest.

Today, the USA and the West are not happy about Russia and North Korea having good relations, the latter two knowing they are now under threat. What is wrong with that? The USA, Europeans, Israel, Canada and Australia are doing the exact same thing, closing ranks using China as an imaginary threat. There are even innuendos on MSA and social media suggesting that Russia is angering China or vice versa. The West wants to throw spanners into the relationship between Russia and China, so that dividing them makes it easier for the USA to topple either one of them first.

China must never be lulled into a false sense of comfort because of Trump's false chummy behavior, by even inviting Xi to attend his inauguration. USA leaders are just clowns with painted faces. You never see their real faces until it is too late.

USA in Iraq and Syria not to fight but to breed terrorists

 Noticed that the USA and the West no longer call Al Qaeda a terrorist group. They are calling them 'Rebels', fighting for control of Syria. In one fell swoop Al Qaeda, a hated terrorist group for decades, funded by Osama bin Laden, became a respected and legitimate grouping fighting for democracy. No wonder people said that White men speak with forked tongues, changing black into white at their whims and fancies.

Now Al Qaeda is funded and armed by Washington. This group will be used by the USA for further regime changes in the Middle East. Serbia, Hungary and Turkey have to be very watchful for instigated chaos when the time comes.

Israel will be the biggest beneficiary with the fall of Basha al-Assad, now already intending to expand its territory by building Israeli settlements on the Golan Heights. They really moved in very fast. The intent was clear regarding Israels genocide in Gaza for its territorial expansion and such intent will be extended in countries around the Middle East. The Arabs and Muslims are still clueless and thinking they are safe and sound.

Serbia, Hungary and Turkey are not toeing the USA line in Euro/Asia, with the latter two being thorns in the side of NATO. Serbia and Hungary are close to China in economic co-operation and cannot be seen to be doing better than the other EU countries by leveraging on Chinese investments. They have to be brought down to let the other EU countries appear in better shape, under their democratic system, untouched by Socialism.

Only those that are fighting the USA and the West are now called 'Terrorists'. Keep this in mind when they talk about Terrorists' and 'Rebels' in riddles. They mean the same thing, like de-coupling and de-risking.

Trump thinks his inauguration is a big deal, Xi does not think so

 Trump is playing ball with Xi, probably giving Xi some tricky decisions to make with his invitation. According to some Chinese social media sites, Xi may just delegate some junior leaders to represent him, maybe even China's ambassador to the USA, complemented by other junior Government leaders.

This is one way for Xi to discreetly show how much significance the inauguration of Trump means to him. It may be a big occasion for the USA, but Xi will probably downplay its importance and demands no necessity for him to attend.

Xi does not travel that often, only on special trips of major significance, like the remembrance ceremony for the victims of the NATO strike on the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, a discreet message to tell NATO that such an act is never forgotten. That trip was also tied in with a state visit to France, Serbia and Hungary

American F18 down, Houthis the most formidable Arab fighting force claims credit

 One F18 fighter jet shot down in the Red Sea. The Americans immediately claimed that it was shot down by friendly fire, that the F18 was shot down by missiles from an escort ship, the USS. It was the most embarrassing thing to happen to the clever and most experienced American fighting force in the world. No one can take down a very advanced American fighter jet. Only the Americans with their equally advanced missiles can knock down an American fighter jet. This is an American myth being spun everyday.

But before the embarrassing news die down, the Houthis spokesman came on air and claimed that the F18 was shot down by Houthis missiles. This is now a bigger embarrassment for the Americans than the first announcement. A makeshift rebel group with limited weapons and command structure could take down the world's most formidable fighting machine, armed with the best electronics.

Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? The Americans and the Israelis would like the Arabs and the world to believe that the rebel forces were firing fire crackers, or that their weapons, ie drones and missiles, were inaccurate, ineffective and can do no harm to their world best machine and world best defence systems. 

They are still broadcasting their now inconvincing lies that no one wants to believe. The Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas have been poking holes in their fake world best defence system. This time the Houthis did it and the Americans cannot hide anymore and still spinning a lie that it was hit by friendly fire. This time the Houthis have proven that their missiles are killers and would knock down American fighter jets and American warships. It is also proof that American warplanes and warships are now going to be hit with the rebel forces firing at them with more and more sophisticated weapons.

Wait to hear more American aircraft and warships being blown up? Wait to hear that more Israeli targets are being destroyed by the rebel forces. Listen to Radio Houthis for the truth. The rebels are firing real killer weapons, not firecrackers.
