Hillbillies afraid TikTok will tell the truth and bring down America

 Hillbillies obviously still believe that Singapore is a province or city in China. Tik Tok CEO, a Singaporean, must be a member of the CCP. That must be so in order to be CEO of such a big social media site that even the USA is afraid of.

Hillbillies obviously still believe that the Chinese Government is very free to want to steal the personal information of dumb USA citizens using Tik Tok. To do what? The Chinese Government does not even think it is productive to waste time stealing useless information, when it has more important issues to tackle, like fighting a trade war started by the USA or lifting more Chinese people out of poverty.

The Hillbillies are obviously afraid of Tik Tok users dispensing the truth about genocides in Gaza, competing too well with other USA apps like Twitter and Meta. The most worrying issue for the USA over the use of Tik Tok is its unraveling of the lies of the USA propaganda machine, making the US$300 million per year investment impotent.

Tik Tok must not be taken over by any USA company, as that will defeat its purpose of dispensing the truth and countering the lies, which apps like Youtube are trying to do the opposite.

Tik Tok can survive leveraging on the Global South users. Never mind about India banning it, for fear of TIk Tok telling the truth about the state of India's development. There are still 1.4 billion Chinese in China and another 1.4 billion Africans in Africa, not to include people in South America, Middle East, ASEAN and Central Asia.

Problem with pipe dream is that the aftereffects could be worse

 The problem with pipe dream is that the aftereffects could be worse than trying to find a cure in the first place.

After all the resources expanded to do it, failure is going to be very costly. It is not a good start just trying to give the impression that the USA can just counter what China did, which the USA also can do. There are so many variables that the USA has not factored into, which took China decades to put together, quietly and diligently. This is nothing like printing more money by just buying more printers, a little ink and some papers. Anyone can do it if given the same privilege.

What the USA wants to do is similar to setting up nice looking factories first and then start looking for raw materials to feed those factories. After that, with production in motion, start looking for a market for their products. It is a simplistic way of looking at how things work, but not all things work the same way. Just like tariffs, with imposing it just as easy, but not understanding how it works and trying to figure it out afterwards is a sure sign of failure.

US ruler-based order

 US ruler-based order

President-elect Donald Trump is openly discussing provocative aspirations for U.S. territorial expansion as he prepares to return to the White House, warning about taking over the Panama Canal and wresting control of Greenland from Denmark.

His comments, delivered in public remarks and social-media posts on Sunday, come after he recently trolled Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by suggesting that Canada should become the 51st state and referring to Trudeau as a governor.

He is likely to face stiff resistance from world leaders, who would object to any effort to undermine their sovereignty.

USA and West always assumed that progress and prosperity is their prerogative

 The USA and the West always assumed that progress and prosperity is their prerogative as in the past and non-Whites have no part in it. It is a mistaken belief. Let them continue to rest on their laurels and massaging their own ego with denials while the rest of the world moves on.

As the saying goes - Pride comes before a fall. And the fall is getting apparent, with Europe having a taste of what failure looks like by entangling with Russia. Now, who is helping them? Not the USA, which is benefiting from the misery of the EU. Trump is even threatening the Europeans with more tariffs if they do not buy more USA oil and gas. Just imagine facing such a threat from the USA after sacrificing so much for the USA in Ukraine.

Whose interest are the EU leaders working for? It looks like everything is for the USA and EU citizens are just sacrificial lambs for the slaughter. Even the Africans are wising up, but the Europeans are becoming dumb and dumber by the day. Talk about having the best universities and education in the West.

I thought homelessness was and is the social affliction peculiar to the USA, but many European countries are also suffering the same misfortune. How the mighty have fallen. Perhaps they are going to spin homelessness as a 'lifestyle choice'. I rest my case!

Ukraine War - Zelensky's nightmare comes from North Korean soldiers

Zelensky's nightmare has just begun with North Korean soldiers fighting on the side of the Russians. Apparently the North Koeans have done such a great job against the Ukrainians and mercenaries that Zelensky is crying aloud. For the last few weeks, Zelensky had been spreading all the fake news and lies about North Korean soldiers being killed in the thousands, being left neglected by the Russians to die. The latest number quoted was some 3,000. South Korea joined in the chorus, but claiming one North Korean soldier was arrested but died during captivity. Not a single picture of any North Korean soldier's death was furnished.

This is what Zelensky said, 'North Korean troops deployed in Russia's Kursk region are suffering heavy losses and being left unprotected by the Russian forces they are fighting alongside, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday (Dec 27).' CNA

The more Zelensky screams about the North Koreans, it is sign that it hurts, that the North Koreans are punishing the Ukrainian forces in Kursk. What the North Korean soldiers are doing in Kursk, how are they deployed, are totally in the dark to the Ukrainians, and Zelensky would not know anything.  But for Zelensky to cry and pull his hair are signs of desperation, that the North Koreans are game changer, not the Abram tanks, not F16s, not American or Brit missiles. Zelensky's must have received numerous reports about heavy casualties suffered by his forces in the frontline, inflicted by the North Koreans.

The success of the North Korean soldiers has given Kim Jung Un more confidence to send more soldiers to Russia. This is a sign of the prowess of the North Korean soldiers and a bitter pill for the Ukrainian mercenaries, a rag tag force clobbered together in the last minute to fight in Kursk, comprising of thugs and murderers and soldiers of fortune from all corners of the world. The North Koreans are trained as a fighting force, to fight as a single unit, of men that knew each other, trusted each other and fighting for the glory of their country, not for a paycheck.

Poor Zelensky can cry all he wants. The South Koreans can try to comfort him by spreading his lies. The truth is in the battle ground. All the Ukrainians and mercenaries would not leave Kursk alive, if they are lucky, as POWs.
