Americans paying the price for underestimating China

 Subcontracting is just a misnomer, and the accusation of stealing of USA jobs is a fallacy. It was the cheaper labor and the insidious intention to export its pollution to China, taking all the brickbats in the process. That agenda was the reason that the USA and the West allowed investments to flow into China. After all, cheaper products made in China was a godsend for them to enjoy.

The irony is that the USA and the West failed to realize that China inadvertently was given the opportunity to corner the raw materials to cater to its development, trained all the skilled workers to grow its manufacturing sector, and China was also able to provide a domestic market through lifting a major segment of its population out of poverty to support those manufacturing activities, besides growing its export market and competing with the West.

I should say that China opening up to the West was a blessing in disguise accruing to China in the longer term, which provided all the incentives for China to move ahead aggressively in every sector today.

Now trying to reverse the trend by attempting to bring back manufacturing to the USA is too little too late. Trying to stop China growing is also futile. Besides, pushing Russia towards China is self-defeating, with Russia now fueling China's growth with cheap energy to feed its manufacturing. With Ukraine cutting off the transit of gas through pipelines, this is forcing more Russian gas to flow to China, adding insult to injury. I have never seen such acts of self-feet shooting so openly displayed on such a scale.

Ukraine should remain in a state of endless war to drain the European states and the USA

 While the USA destroys, China rebuilds.

China is helping to rebuild Afghanistan. Afghanistan is keen to further trade and other relations with China. As the 'Graveyard of Empires' Afghanistan knows that China is unlike other empires it has dragged into the grave. China values peaceful co-operation and leaves partners alone and only does what both have agreed upon.

On the other hand, China must never ever step into helping to rebuild Ukraine. Nothing good will come out of it. Ukraine is totally a bankrupt state, depending on the help of other European countries. The war debt alone is going to take Ukraine decades to pay off if it does.

If it had been the USA or Israel, Ukraine would have been totally destroyed long ago. There will not be any Kyiv left to talk about. Putin had been too restrained that even his own military leaders say so. But he has his own reasons to keep Ukraine as a buffer zone, rather than having to step in to try and take control, having to face a battle against the resurrection of the Nazi uprising.

PS. Russia has enough natural resources to keep the war going without affecting its economy. And Russia has a strong economic superpower guarding its back.

More Arabs, Ukrainians and Europeans are going to die because of the Americans and the Jews

The West is touting that the truce between Lebanon and Israel is holding since November 2024. What world are they living in and what is the meaning of the word 'truce' in their warp vocabulary?
Israel is continuing in its attack on Hezbollah and the West is shouting that the truce is holding. In what way is the truce holding when one side is still attacking the other? The USA and the West still thinks the rest of the Arab, Muslim and Global South are stupid to swallow their propaganda.

There is a diametrically different reality in the media regarding the Ukraine War. The MSM of the West still spout the propaganda that Ukraine is on the upper hand in Kursk. On the other hand, many on social media vloggers are of a different opinion. Who is lying? The whole of Europe is now suffering the collateral damage of Russia cutting energy supply to Europe, although the MSM still claims that Europe has found alternative energy sources. All we can think of is Europe buying more and much more expensive oil and gas from the USA. Under the radar, Europe is also still buying Russian oil via China, India and even Saudi Arabia. These three countries are selling highly discounted oil from Russia to the stupid Europeans at huge profits. That is the reality.

Does the end of Ukraine's transit of Russian gas to Europe really going to hurt Russia more or the EU? Russia and China are or have been constructing the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline to deliver Russian gas to North-Eastern China. I believe Russia already knew this cancellation of Russian gas delivery via Ukraine will end and have already thought of building the Power of Siberia 2 to mitigate its position.

So, who is going to be hurt by Ukraine's latest move?

Jeju clash plot thickens...black box conveniently failed to record the critical moments before landing

 The latest report from Boeing after examining the black box claimed that the recording of the critical 4 min conversation was not recorded. How convenient, how clever of the black box that was designed to capture every detail of the pilot's conversation did not do it. This vital part of the pilot's conversation with the air traffic controller was missing.  Actually, two black boxes failed at the same time.  And the data is unrecoverable.  Can you believe this? 

"The damaged flight data recorder had been deemed unrecoverable for data extraction by South Korean authorities, who sent it to the United States for analysis at the US National Transportation Safety Board laboratory.

But it appears that the boxes holding clues to the flight's final moments experienced data loss, leaving authorities trying to find out what happened." CNA

Without this part of the conversation, Boeing can close the case without any finding. And no one would know the truth. Really? Isn't there another recording at the Tower? It is mandatory and standard practice for the Tower to record all conversations of its daily operation. And Boeing and all the experts, all the pilots, must know that the Control Tower must have a copy of the recording between the pilot and air traffic controller on approach all the way to landing.

It is so amazing that all the experts in this field were not asking the Tower to furnish the tape recording of the incident. So, without this part of the evidence, no other evidence is available, and no one can pin blame on anything. It is not aircraft fault. It is the fault of a bird. The first thing the Tower would do in a crash would be to protect the recording of the conversation between pilot and Tower immediately to assist investigation.

What are they trying to hide? The victims of the crash must demand full investigation and the production of the Tower's recording. For the safety of all travellers, the truth must not be hidden or more crashes and more lives would be lost by this bizarre handling of the investigation.

The more they try to hide, the more suspicion it is that there is more to it, and very likely there are serious mechanical issues concerning the aircraft. The recording in the black box cannot be missing. The recording in the Tower cannot be missing. Who would benefit most if the cause of the crash cannot be determined?

President Musk rules America, Emperor Trump rules the world

   Trump is in a state of delirium. I have this feeling that he is being drugged or on drugs. He is now thinking and behaving like he is the Emperor of the evil American Empire and is setting out his task not just to make America great again, but to take over the whole world. So please excuse me for my delirious thesis on this man and his great ambition under the influence of drugs.

Now people can understand why Trump is so happy to have President Musk to run the USA, so that he can have all the time to think big and do bigger things. Less than a month to go, and Trump cannot wait to let the cat out of his bag. The little sign of inviting Xi to his inauguration, and world leaders as well, explains his mindset. Trump is like waltzing through his fictitious Wonderland. Even world leaders like Xi are invited to witness his coronation as the Emperor of the world.

There is actually one real reason why Trump has to take over the whole world, for MAGA. Someone must have enlightened him that all the trade wars and whatever wars are failing, bringing home manufacturing, sending out migrants etc etc would not work. All the economic factors, technology, talents etc is not favouring the Americans. What the clowns did in Washington were silly child play. Russia is not collapsing. China is winning the tech and chip wars and unstoppable. De dollarisation is full steam ahead, the dollar would be worthless soon. The truth, the American Empire is in steep decline.  If Trump wants to win and MAGA, there is only one way, conquer the rest of the world.

How many countries would be included as additional states of the USA? Canada and Greenland are obvious choices. Mexico would likely be next despite the strong protest from its President. Panama is also another clear choice. And Jamaica is also in the list. How dare you defy Emperor Trump? Trump does not mind as long as he is the Emperor of the American Empire.

He has also sent signals to the European states. Pay up or else.... So, Europe is also in his cards and would be a matter of time before they become part of the United States of America, the evil American Empire. Trump ridiculed Denmark by asking on what basis did Denmark claim that Greenland belonged to Denmark. He forgot to ask himself, on what legal basis did America belong to the white Europeans.

All strategic waterways are now ripe for Trump's takeover. This is the new Rules Based Order of the evil American Empire. And you can bet no one would dare to whisper a word about it. Just accept the new status quo, obey Emperor Trump's decree and you will be safe and secure. In the name of American security or threats to American security, in the name of freedom of navigation, Panama Canal, Suez Canal, the Malacca Straits must all come under the control of the evil American Empire.

There is no one out there to stop Trump. Putin and Xi are his good friends and would likely be left alone in their own turfs while Emperor Trump rules the world. Trump is not ruling out the use of force to take over the Panama Canal. If Trump goes ahead with his threats, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Panama, Jamaica and many Carribean and Latin American states would be part of the Greater USA. 

If Trump goes ahead with his threats, Gaza would be carpet bombed a second time, and all the Palestinians would be wiped out for good. The deranged peace loving Emperor Trump has spoken.

PS. 

Donald Trump is serious about his plan to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, Reuters has reported, citing sources familiar with the US president-elect’s thinking. The plan is part of Trump’s efforts to expand America’s global influence and secure his presidential legacy, the outlet explained.

Trump has argued that US control over the Arctic Island is a national security imperative and has not ruled out taking the territory by force if necessary. RT
