Ukraine War - Lessons for the Mickey Mouse

 Ukraine is a perfect model of stupidity of a people following the leadership of a Mickey Mouse. Soon Ukraine would be no more. The fate of Zelensky could be very tragic, for single handedly causing the death and suffering of millions of Ukrainians and the destruction of a country.

All the silly believers of the evil American Empire must be in shock. This cannot be true. The Americans are going to support clown Zelensky and his Nazi armies with everything they got. Clown Zelensky only needs to open his mouth and ask and will be given. The painful truth that all this is a big American lie is sinking in. Zelensky may be panicking and working out his escape plan to live with all the ill gotten wealth paid by the blood of Ukrainians to live a life of plenty in a little corner of the earth, not to be found or recognised.

Is there a lesson to be learnt from this bloody fiasco? There are still many Mickey Mouse in Asia, in South East Asia that covet the role of clown Zelensky, believing that the evil Americans would fight and save them to the last Americans. From their silly behaviours, wanting to buy more small arms to fight China is a joke that is not amusing at all.

Ukraine with all the weapons and fundings from America and Europe could not stand a chance against Russia and is being sold by the Americans. The Americans are wiping their hands as if they were innocent party, not involved in the Ukraine War. And better still, demanding payback for every cent they sent to Ukraine, not for free. Ukraine will be bankrupt paying what the Americans and the Europeans sent or did not send to them. It is up to the Americans and Europeans to write their bills and charge whatever they like as a form of war reparation. Ukraine has no say. Clown Zelensky would have scooted if he is not killed by the Ukrainians.

This is the fate of silly Mickey Mouse. And they are plenty in Asia and South East Asia, still deluding themselves that their fate would be different. They wound not end up like Ukraine and clown Zelensky. They are going to scrap the bottom of their empty treasuries to find a few more dollars to buy more weapons to start a war with China. See how they thump their chests in bravado! Brave soldiers without brains!

Trump is also abandoning Europe as a whole, after encouraging them to attack Russia and make Russia their enemy. Trump said, you fools now have to deal with Russia alone. Why are you so stupid to listen and believe in America?

Chinese leaders went through long baptism of fire versus once in 4-year pot luck American conmen and gangsters

 The world is changing. The USA is moving backwards, literally following and falling into the failed footprints of China a century ago, while China is moving forward, shedding its century of humiliation and moving along confidently.

This is made possible in China by having leaders with hindsight to learn from the past, insight to do what is right for its people and foresight to chart the future direction. Chinese leaders look at priorities, what to support and nourish to grow, while at the same time having the foresight to know what to take control decades earlier to solidify its future. Chinese leaders are not ready made and born to lead but have to go through baptism of fire to reach their position. This has enabled China to have capable leaders and thinkers, with foresight to corner all the resources needed, the logistics built up, the strong foundation to leverage on.

The USA is doing the exact opposite with delusional leaders fond of shooting their own feet with hurried policy changes that do more harm than good for the country. Perhaps the USA is still too pre-occupied with enriching the top 1% that all political leaders come from. Greed is still deeply engrained in the mindsets of USA leaders and the undrained swamp.

Failed to take down Russia but successful in taking down Europe. China is next.

 There appears much more under the surface regarding the weird behavior of J. D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference.

The USA under Trump is pivoting towards a conflict with China and the first thing to do is to try to pry Russia away from China. Trump is even prepared to throw the EU vis a vis NATO under the bus and is even prepared to give concessions to Russia in Ukraine, which is why the Europeans and Zelenskyy are kept out of the peace talk. Question is whether Putin is going to be persuaded and takes the bait, knowing that USA administration changes every four years and what is next with the next administration is uncertain. Will he take the risk, knowing that the USA can scuttle agreements at its whims and fancies.

Throwing the EU under the bus is just trying to convince Putin that the USA has given up support for NATO. Ukraine is already a lost cause for the USA anyway, and the EU is deemed irrelevant now after being used by the USA to further its agenda which has failed. The stupid Europeans are now nursing their wounds after suffering a massive slight and economic ruin.

Prying Russia away from China serves many purposes. It is an attempt to break up BRICS. Even his delusional gloating, days ago, about 'BRICS is dead' grandstanding by threatening tariffs of 100% if countries inside and those joining BRICS proceed to support de-dollarization. Those threats fell on deaf ears and did not make countries in the bloc lose their de-dollarization bearings. The bloc even took the opportunity to announce a summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 and 7, giving Trump its middle finger.

Trying to pry Russia away from China also means Russia's cheap energy to China could be affected and that will also affect China's cheap manufacturing base. Of course, this is provided Putin wants to divert his energy to the EU once again, which is contrary to USA plans under the Biden Administration, with Trump already forcing the EU to buy more USA energy under threat of tariff escalation if they fail to do so.

In tandem with this move, the USA is also cutting cheap Iran energy from flowing to China in its latest move. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil and doing it without the use of the US$ is another huge de-dollarization move.

Of course, China already knew this was going to happen, which is why China's energy supply now comes from so many sources. Moreover, China is leveraging on renewable energy reliance, building hydro-electric power stations all along its rivers, harnessing solar and wind energy as well. These are small sources, but China is experimenting with cheaper nuclear power generation, which is going to be a game changer.

Trump's tariffs on friends and foes are falling into a trap set by China

 Some are pointing out that Trump's tariffs on friends and foe are falling into a trap set by China. How is that so?

Thinking about this point, it makes sense. In trying to prevent Chinese products from competing in the USA through sanctions and tariffs, China builds factories all over the world - in Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Brazil, Pakistan and some EU countries like Hungary as well to avert USA sanctions and tariffs. Trump has no way of preventing China from accessing the USA market using the indirect way and is thus forced to erect tariffs against every country to stem out Chinese products. This is causing bad blood from friends and foe alike and will isolate the USA even further. This is the trap that China sets for the USA, to make countries go against the USA and is working.

Having said that, Chinese EV makers investing worldwide, for example, are not targeting the USA market alone, which is just basically of minor importance. Those factories set up by BYD are more about targeting the Global South countries that the USA and the EU could never compete on cost and pricing. And if Global South countries are being targeted with tariffs by the USA, who do we think they will support going forward? Even Canada, a staunch USA ally through thick and thin, is doing something that we never thought would happen by selling oil to China in the face of Trump's tariffs.

As the EU faces a 25% tariff from the USA soon, what will they do? Same as Canada perhaps, now that the EU knows that the USA is throwing it under the bus. Isn't that also falling into a trap set by China too?

America WAS superior in technology but no more

 USA was superior in space technology, but China caught up and even go one up by building a space station for itself and landing on the moon and sending a probe that landed on Mars.

USA was the dominant power in vehicles production, but Japan caught up much earlier on and now China overtook both of them. China is killing the ICE vehicle manufacturers of the USA, Germany, Japan and South Korea. The carnage is ugly and will get uglier with even EV makers finding the heat too hot to handle.

USA was superior in making mobile phones with, if I remember correctly, Motorola the touted to go for in mobile technology with its heavyweight phones that cost a bomb, 4G, and telecommunication equipment. China too caught up and overtook the USA with 5G and now experimenting with 6G. Huawei was banned for outcompeting USA's phone makers, Swedish Ericson and Finnish Nokia. No, it is not just Apple alone in China that is propelling the eclipse of these dominant giants of old. The likes of Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and some others are outselling the European brands and putting them out of business.

USA domestic social media platforms could not compete with Tik Tok and so they want the USA Government to ban it. Why ban it if it is not competing too well with the likes of Meta, Twitter and Youtube? With 170 million users in the USA, it must have been a hard pill to swallow for USA's domestic operators of similar platforms.

China's 5G was claimed to be junk by some anti-China trolls. If so, why is the USA so afraid of Huawei and its 5G technology? Denial is not getting anywhere, with reality silencing all the propaganda.
