Vance warns of 'very dark time' without close US-India ties - CNA

 Trump is calling up India and wants to 'Make India Great Again' after having made USA truly great. Trump's harbinger of death, J. D. Vance is in India, hugging Modi, after killing the Pope, LOL.

Meanwhile, USA factories, warehouses and retail outlets are facing big problems as deliveries piled up at ports with Chinese goods facing tariffs that leads to cancellation. The effect is deeper than what is evident on the surface. It is beginning to really tell us who depends more on who when the shit hits the fan.

Car manufacturers are facing shortage of parts from China and factories cannot run smoothly without critical parts from China. Costs of production are escalating by the day, with assembly lines lying idle waiting for the critical components that are now stuck at ports.

Warehouses, like those of Amazon are running empty with cancellation of orders to avoid paying the tariffs that will make any product from China unsellable. Make no mistake as 80% of products from Amazon come from China.

Retailers like Walmart are facing the same dilemma, with goods from China subject to tariffs and resulting in cancellations of shipments. Who is going to suffer the shortage? USA consumers of course. But they can wait for manufacturing in USA to start for them to get the same stuff, not that cheap of course and possibly having to 'hang tough' for the next couple of years.

And what have not been told by the MSM is how the effect of the minerals ban is affecting the USA Military Industrial Complex - missiles, drones, jets and accessories like night goggles.

GE 2025 - Nomination Day

 Today is Nomination Day for the 2025 GE. Am I surprised to see a foreigner or a new citizen covering for CNA as the key man to report about what is happening at the Nomination Centre? After so many years of CECA and cries for more foreign talents in no talent Singapore, this is expected. There is no original Singaporean good enough to cover our GE. This needs the clever foreign talent, maybe now a new citizen, to take over to do a better job. Singaporeans should just report about hawker food, hawker centres, how to take pets for a walk, how to clean the beach, how to brush the teeth. Important political news and events, better look for foreign talents that can do a better job than no talent Singaporeans.

Oops, I digress. Today is Nomination Day, and the hustle for political office has just begun. The fight is going to be very fierce with both the ruling party and the opposition parties putting their best candidates they could find in no talent Singapore to be elected to Parliament. How many of these candidates are new citizens? Never mind, should encourage more new citizens to politics and run Singapore like their former countries with their special flavour and flair. New citizens would add in the spice and make Singapore politics great again, better than the third world, oops, first world.

I think this will be the new trend for Singapore to progress with the help of foreign talents that are now Singapore citizens. They are simply one class above the locals, oops, sorry, I should not say this, must use Singaporeans instead to be politically correct. Now I am confused, which is politically correct, locals or Singaporeans.

Good luck to all the hopeful new faces. There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They all look so good, so enthusiastic, so eager, unlike jaded old furniture.

China planned everything since 1949 to bring down the USA

 Yes, the Chinese Communist Party is so brilliant. They started planning for the decline of the American Empire in 1949. The Americans are admitting that the Chinese are not stupid, it is the Americans that are the really stupid ones, being duped and conned by the Chinese, cheated and raped by the Chinese, and allowing the Chinese to steal everything from them, under their nose, in broad daylight, all their intellectual property rights, and they did not know, did not know how to stop the steal.

So, today the stupid Americans finally woke up because a D grader, actually a conman pretending to be a genius, are telling them how stupid they have been and how China stole everything from them, and raped them. Eureka, the daft hillbillies have awoken from their dull slumber. They are so angry because China or the Chinese Communist Party have been planning for decades to bring down the American Empire by stealing everything from them, their industries, their factories, their jobs and their money and IPs.

How did the Chinese do it? Aren't the Chinese illiterate, ignorant peasants, good only to be cooks and laundrymen? How could they duped and cheated the worldly smart Americans, or dumb hillbillies, for so long without them knowing?

The Chinese pretend to be stupid? Must be. The Chinese invented their own stupidity or the Americans invented it for them? The Chinese not only pretended to be stupid, they pretended to be poor. So they tricked the American companies and big corporations to close down all their factories and moved to China, where labour, material and all the factors of production are cheap. The American factories and corporations did not know what they were doing, did not know they were cheated by the stupid Chinese, oops, smart Chinese, and relocated their factories to China blindly. The Americans also did not know that they were destroying American jobs and the American middle class...because the Chinese were so clever to lie to them that all was well.

And the American factories and corporations continued to operate in China for decades, without knowing they have been cheated by the Chinese, without knowing that the Chinese were also stealing their IPs while these American companies were making tons of money from the Americans, selling them products that cost $10 to make at $200, or $1,000 to make at $30,000.

At home in America, the daft hillbillies were happily buying cheap and good Chinese goods and stuff without having to say thank you to the Chinese that did all the donkey works, to exchange their labour, blood, sweat and tears, for a few pieces of monopoly money.  Now conman Trump is telling the hillbillies the Chinese are cheating them of their monopoly money. They must stop this. How?

The answer, stop buying anything from the Chinese. Then they would not be cheated, not be raped by the Chinese. They can buy everything, cheaper and better from elsewhere, no need to buy from the Chinese.  But it is too late, the Americans have no more factories or cheap labour to manufacture goods cheaply in America. Because the Chinese planned this. And the Chinese stole so much American monopoly money, faster than the Americans printing them. This is a threat. If the Americans cannot print fast enough, the Chinese would steal the printing machine and print the money for themselves.

The Chinese also planned for the hillbillies to elect an idiot in Trump to be their president. And they made idiot Trump to impose tariffs against the whole world and to stop buying and selling to China. And Trump the idiot did everything the Chinese told him to. Now the Americans are threatened by recession, inflation, bankruptcy, got monopoly money but no Chinese goods to buy. The Chinese now did not want monopoly money anymore, so not sending their goods to America to starve the Americans and deprive them of having cheap and good Chinese goods. It is all planned out by the Chinese Communist Party, to bring down the American Empire. Trump is a Chinese spy, planted by the Chinese Communist Party to bring down the American Empire.

And the daft Americans did not know. Now they know...that they are stupid and the Chinese are the really smart guys. The Chinese ordered Trump to tell the hillbillies the truth, that they have been cheated and raped by China. It is all China's fault that the American Empire is breaking up and the hillbillies are going to face a depression they have not seen before. Because the Chinese planned everything, every move. for the coming depression in America. The Chinese also planned for Trump to stop the farmers from selling their soya beans and meat to China.  See, the Chinese smart or not?

What is happening in America is all China's fault? And rich America have to borrow money from poor Chinese peasants to buy Chinese products that they did not want, but force to buy by the Chinese peasants. And the Americans cannot say no to the Chinese peasants.

No call from Xi. Xi busy decoupling from US

 That call from Xi is not going to happen, no matter how high Trump is jumping up and down. In fact. Xi is taking this opportunity to de-couple from the USA for good, since the USA is so desperate for it to happen. China is prepared to take a little pain for the long-term gain. Much that China is doing now points to this being the case.

China is just waiting to see the USA consumers rising up a couple of months down the road. Stock piling may do some damage control for the moment, but the shit will hit the fan further down the road. In the meantime, China is already making deals to do more business with trade partners beyond the USA. China is taking down tariffs with friendly countries and investing more in others. China wants to see how the USA can cope forcing manufacturing to relocate to the USA and see how USA workers are going to perform under conditions that they are not used to. Doing an honest day's work is foreign to them, after ripping off the fruits of other countries for decades in exchange for their toilet papers. Yet Trump is accusing others of ripping off the USA, as if getting nothing in return. Yes, those are the factory jobs that Trump wants back for them, right? Good luck to those moving their factories to the USA and deal with big, fat, lazy and obese workers. Just one question - How much will those manufacturers be willing to pay them as opposed to other factory workers outside the USA? Also paying them slave wages will not work. How about calling it 'peasant' wages? That may work, LOL.

Unfair trade practices? Who are the real cheats?

 Actually these goings on of the Frenchies and the Italians CON

making profits should be wary by the Dafts of the World.

Deng Siao Ping ever rebuked the Americunts publicly saying we manufactured for you at a cost of a pittance that you sell and made enormous profits and yet you can accused us of unfair trades practices.

He said a pair of Nike Sports shoes we only do.it for just UASS 5 to 10 and you sell at hundreds and more with some even higher with their CON marketing of limited editions.

The Frenchies and Italians been ripping off those grandeur snobbish idiots who just wanted to show off with their so called high class luxury items.

Likewise in.cahoots those also unscrupulous and Tai Lan Pang Hei profits making scoundrels with even a drop of their blood and sweat slaughter their own.

Just like now the Dotard Trump's socalled Tarrifs collections of the Americunts who actually paid for them.

Likewise in Sinking Land where a manufacture car at $20K or less been paid for by a Sinkie at least 70 to 80 K and now 100 over K with the Collecter NOT even produced a nut or screw.

The Frenchies and Italians simply outsourced all the main bulk of the works to the PRCs and then had the finished products back yo them just to stitched on their insignias and logos which they smartly won't be stupid to give them to the PRCs.

Then claimed them to be manufactured by them

Paying the PRCs at a few hundreds or just a thousand and selling to the SNOBs at hundred of thousands.

They made sure that the PRCs must kept it confidential and fleeced the Imbeciles.

Saved for the Swiss and the Japanese who really made their own and no outsourcing the Rest of the socalled luxurious items are no better than China or even Hong-Kong Replicas and Fakes.

The Rolexes and other Branded Watches Replicas made.in China, you won't be surprised are as the same.as the original ones.

Paid more for those shoddy fakes ones at a few hundreds more and won't be easily identified.
