India Pakistan War - First major victory of the Muslim world
The USA and the West could not now swallow the world looking on at Chinese weapons outperforming Western weapons, always touted to be the best there was, the best there is and the best it will be. How can Pakistan be giving India a blackeye with India's top of the line fighter jets and air defense system protecting India? By hook or by crook, India must deny the shooting down of its Rafale jets and the taking out of its S400 air defense system.
The fact that China is selling weapons to Pakistan is a hard pill to swallow for the USA and the West. And having Pakistan now proving the effectiveness of Chinese weapons, touted to be junks, for the first time in actual combat is something hard for them to accept. The truth is hurting very badly. China will decimate the entrenched global military weapons manufacturers going forward, with selling cheaper, more effective and reliable weapons, just like what China did with their EVs, solar panels, wind turbines, shipbuilding and manufacturing. Those are already forgone conclusions, with China now targeting aviation, semiconductors and now military weapons as well. China has all the control over raw materials like aluminum, steel, rare earth elements and skilled manpower to do that. China has already in place a solid base in education, supply chains and experience in conquering sectors that they aspired to do, and the West better not bet against it.
The Indians are just like the Whites, speaking with forked tongues and can never be trusted to honor their words, least of all a ceasefire. Lessons must be learned by Pakistan, and lessons must be learned by China watching on the sidelines. In fact, every country should be watching.

JD Vance - Sneaky American terrorists speaking in forked tongue
"We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can't control these countries though," Vance said in an interview on Fox News show The Story with Martha MacCallum.
"What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," he added. CNA
India Pakistan War - Surreal massive air attack by India after ceasefire
After Trump announced that he had brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, both India and Pakistan also made the ceasefire announcement. Pakistan was so happy that it ordered a stand down of all forces, bringing down the AWACs and fighters in the air, switched off all the radar stations and sent all the soldier home for dinner. This was apparently what had happened in the Indian version.
On the other hand, the sneaky Indians were preparing a massive air attack on 10 Pakistani airfields, and the attack was launched on the night of ceasefire. 4 Indian generals appeared in a press briefing showing clips of Pakistani airfields and radars being hit and destroyed. And all the Indian pilots returned home safely without being challenged or shot at. Not a single Pakistani soldier was around.
Apparently, the attack went on so smoothly, because all the Pakistani airfields were stood down, no defence system was activated, no defensive fire, all the soldiers had gone home. The Indian pilots were shooting and bombing at apparently ghost airfields without a soul in them. There were also no aircraft sitting in the airfields, no JF17s, no J10 Cs, no AWAC planes in sight. Cannot imagine how many would have been destroyed by the Indian attacks in such an attack.
Where have all the Pakistani aircraft gone to? Where were all the Pakistani soldiers supposedly to defend the airfields? Did they literally believe that there was a ceasefire and the war had ended, and they could return home? Till now the Pakistani govt has not made any statement about this serious violation of the ceasefire and the destructions in the airfields.
The Indians are calling it a big success in teaching the terrorists, ie Pakistan, a painful lesson. Perhaps Pakistan air force and air defence systems have been crippled by this attack and Pakistan is now at the mercy of the Indians. What's next, another big invasion of Pakistan?
The Pakistani govt does not seem disturbed by the news of this invasion. Were they too afraid to announce the damages suffered? They did not seem to be cowering in fear and wanting to beg for mercy from the Indians.
What is going on? What is real and what is unreal? While the Indian generals were bragging and gloating about this massive attack in breach of the ceasefire, India is warning Pakistan against ceasefire violation.

Former CIA analyst L.S. Johnson believes that the CIA and MI6 are behind the war between India and Pakistan
See nothing to do with fair reporting to cover up for Indian terrorists.
Everything is easy for Emperor Trump
Or better still, why didn't Trump just sign an executive order to compel retailers like Walmart not to let shelves be empty. Can he sign an executive order to demand that China must buy soya beans and corn from the USA to prevent farms from collapsing?
Trump thinks everything is so easy. As easy as demanding Mexico pays for his wall, gloating that he can stop the Ukraine War within 24 hours of his stepping into the White House, gloating about bringing manufacturing back to the USA without getting things ready beforehand, until the shit hits the fan.
Now, anything good happening around the world or in the USA is all because of the leadership of Trump. Now he is trying to take credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, even though the Indians do not even think he played any part in negotiations. Anything bad happening around the world or in the USA is now the fault of Joe Biden, the poor man not knowing what he is accused of. Good that Joe has dementia and cannot remember what he did anyway.

USA cannot afford to lose Singapore
Singapore is not left out of Trump's crazy and reckless trade war with the whole world. Trump has no friends except his own interest. Despite offering American forces a port to support American military operations in SE Asia, and the ability to turn Malacca Strait into a choke point, despite paying through the nose for all the expensive American weapons that cannot be brought back to Singapore, Trump is treating Singapore just like any Tom, Dick and Harry. Singapore would not be spared when Trump throws tantrum or suffering from his periodic attack.
Does Singapore have to accept the brash behaviour and bullying of Trump and his gangster policies? Is Singapore dispensable to the Americans, and can be kicked around like any other American crony? Singapore today has choices. Singapore can get everything it wants from China, including political and military support, military hardware and land for military training and at cheaper cost. Singapore is in a way like China, can trade with anyone, with the whole world, except with Russia. Singapore can find a substitute for American support.
Can the Americans do away with Singapore? The Americans have no friend or dependable friend in SE Asea. The Pinoys is more a liability than anything else. Only good to be used as a temporary disposable pawn, nothing more nothing less. The Philippines does not have the clout like Singapore, does not control the strategic position like Singapore, and very unpredictable. The Pinoys have kicked out the American bases and would do so again once Marcos loses power. The rest of Asean are wary of the Americans unlike Singapore.
There is no reason for Singapore to cower under the threats of the Americans. Both enjoy a symbiotic relationship. The Americans cannot afford to lose Singapore and its strategic location. The American market is only one of many markets for Singapore.
What would happen to Singapore if there were a break in Singapore US relations, and worse, if Singapore invites China to use its military facilities here instead of America? Would it spell the end of Singapore, or would it end America's strangle hold of the Malacca Strait and influence in ASEAN?
What would happen to the American influence in the region without Singapore? Who can replace Singapore? Who can the Americans trust? Singapore is vital to the Americans, irreplaceable. Singapore can replace the Americans with China. Stop bullying and kicking Singapore around.
PS. Maybe Trump would declare Singapore is vital to American strategic interest and would want to take it over as the 52nd state or buy it like Greenland.
