India demanding huge discounts or returning the Rafales to France

Pakistan is getting the more updated J35 from China just in case the Indians gets F35s to up the ante and continue to act funny. But those F35s are equally expensive, while Pakistan is getting more bang for the buck with cheaper but not necessarily inferior weapons from China.
What is going to happen to the Rafales now, about 30 still left? Was there a 'goods return clause' agreed with the French, knowing they are not useful enough for real battle, but just good for gloating. If there is still a loan left of the US$9 billion left to be repaid, perhaps India has a good, big and beautiful bargaining chip to take a leaf from Trump use of superlatives in everything.

Pakistan was reported to be using Chinese satellite guidance system during the air battle, with India now blaming China for helping the Pakistanis. Why not blame it on the lack of co-ordination between the different segments of its military using weapons from different countries, all using different operational codes.

This, by the way, is the same problem of why India cannot rise with so many different languages used by so many different segments of the population, with no common language to advance direction. The chickens do not understand the ducks. China was able to make mandarin the common language of the Chinese and the population understands perfectly what the central government is telling them and what to do.

Africans on the march - Western puppets being culled

 The real African revolution and freedom from western colonialism and control is in the making. Since the end of WW2 and the declaration of independence by most of the African states, Africa was independent and free only superficially. Many of their leaders were really puppets of the West, controlled and paid by the Americans, French and EU countries and taking orders from the West against the interests of their country and people.  The real African leaders were dead or imprisoned by the whites. African Union, ECOWAS, COMESA, ECCAS, SADC, EAC etc etc were all controlled by the West through African leaders serving the interests of the West.

Enough is enough. The fake independence of African states and their failure to make substantive economic progress to better the lives of Africans did not go unnoticed to the African nationalists. Many past African nationalist leaders did not survive for long, many assassinated, put to jail by their own people, by leaders that were puppets of the West. And the sad story of Africa continues today, as the most exploited continent in the world, left to mess around by their ineffective leaders, a joke in the western world with Trump openly calling it a shit hole.

A young Capt Ibrahim Traore had conducted a coup and took over Burkina Faso from the pro French leaders, declared independence and started to chart a new course of national and economic development for its own people, completely in control of their own destiny, for the good of their own people. He is expelling all foreign forces and mercenaries from his country. No more French presence and control. He is being joined by the leaders of Mali, Niger and Morocco on the way. 

The good work of Traore did not go unnoticed to the Africans and to the West. The young Africans across Africa are rising to the call of this young captain, now the President of Burkina Faso, to rebuild a free and independent Africa. Africans across the Atlantic Ocean are also heeding his call and the Africa diaspora is returning in waves to their motherland, to rebuild a new Africa.

In Washington, Paris and other capital cities of Europe, Traore is a threat and must be gotten rid of immediately. He is a cancer to the white men and is spreading across Africa like wildfire. He must be stopped. They tried in many ways, in many coups to assassinate and remove Traore. But Traore survived, protected by his own people, but the western puppets are lurking in the dark corners to bring him down.

The African leaders in African organisations controlled by the West were ordered to take out Traore as well. They too see Traore as a threat to their positions and golden rice bowl from cheating and robbing their own people and country, supported by the West like puppets on a string.

So far, they failed. Traore and his nationalist friends in Mali and Niger would not last a single day without external help. The foreign forces and traitorous African leaders were too powerful for them, well armed and financed, to take him down by hook or crook. Fortunately, outside help is coming to Traore and friends. China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea etc etc are not standing idly by. They send him weapons, machine, factories, even soldiers, commandos to protect his safety, finance and technological knowhows to rebuild Burkina Faso and to defend their land.

3 years and Burkina Faso is holding and becomes a bright shining star in economic and national development, infrastructures, schools, hospitals, factories, shopping malls, sprouted all over the country. Foreign supported rebels and terrorists are being taken down, defeated and on the run. The people feel safer and found jobs to build a new life under a truly African leader for the Africans.

Traore and Burkina Faso are the shining lights for the Africans to rally around. Ivory Coast just had a coup and removed the western puppet leader that wanted to send African soldiers from ECOWAS states to bring down Traore.  Senegal has declared war on France to rid its country of French influence and control. Other African states are looking and watching closely what is happening and are moved, aroused by a new hope of true independence, free, freedom from their western masters, to live a better life, to build a modern and rich country for their own people. Young Africans across Africa are rallying behind Traore as the new African hope. Ethnic Africans in America, the Caribbeans and Latin America are returning home to Africa to rebuild their motherland.

The journey has started but it is not going to be a smooth ride. The West would not relinquish their control of Africa. They have superior military forces and finance to retake Africa. A French warship is now outside Ivory Coast. They have an African Command, commanded by an American general, taking orders from Washington, to rule and police Africa in the name of fighting terrorism. Who are the terrorists, who are behind the terrorists, who financed and trained the terrorists to destabilise Africa? When there is no such thing as 'terrorists' in Africa, there is no reason for an Africa Command owned by the American Empire. Even if there are terrorists in Africa, there is no need for an American Africa Command in Africa. The Africans can take care of their own countries.

Africa cannot be free fighting alone. Their biggest military threat is the Africa Command and its army of terrorists and mercenaries. The Global South must lend a helping hand, to stand with Africa to fight the western domination and hegemony, to be really free, in their homeland, in their motherland, free from the American and western terrorists. They cannot watch from a safe distance and say it is Africa's fight. It is the fight of the Global South for real freedom from white men's hegemony and control.

More African states would rise to the occasion...to be really free again.

France said nothing wrong with Rafales, fault with Indian pilots

According to certain sources, France is now telling the world that it is not its planes that have fallen short, but the denying of certain operational codes to the Indians that is causing its planes to be shot down. This is, I think, no more than a case of desperate damage control to make sure the Rafale jet's reputation does not go down the drain.

As you can expect, the Indians are now fuming that they have been let down by the French side after paying for those jets, and both sides are slinging mud against each other. Who is telling the truth and who is to be blamed?

If touting is to be believed, Ukraine already won the war long ago if you look back at all the grandstanding by the Western MSM. On top of all the gloating about Russia collapsing and being isolated, how come so many countries have sent military contingents to the Victory Day parade in Moscow?

There are countries that believe in their own lies and there are countries that believe in lies fabricated by others. This is a strange world.

China uses soft power verses the USA hard power of starting wars

If China behaves like a warmonger and acts like USA, you can expect the USA will call out its doggies to attack China like hyenas in a frenzy. What China does around its doorstep has already been capitalized by the USA to raise tensions against Taiwan and Philippines directly, and indirectly against Vietnam and Australia.

China already told the world it uses soft power, going against the USA hard power of starting wars. China leverages on helping developments instead of destruction, giving loans to poor countries not for buying weapons but developments, building the BRI to enhance connectivity, constructing dams, ports and airports, building both high speed and normal railways for other countries This has not escaped the eyes of countries sitting on the fence and winning them over rather than using force and veiled threats to subdue them.

Great that the Africans have seen the light of day after centuries of stagnation under the yolk of colonial rule and exploitation. The South Americans are now also waking up and realizing who is actually buttering their bread. Even the Central Asian countries are jumping on the Chinese /Russian wagon, all attending the recent Victory Day parade in Moscow together with China. Here in ASEAN, the situation is not so clear cut, but many among ASEAN are looking favorably at China save for one or two black sheep. Hard to fathom what the Arabs and Muslims are aiming for at this point of time, with divided loyalties at the crossroads, trying to straddle two boats at the same time, like India.

Mafia chief USA using foolish proxies to war with China

Now the Chief Mafia UASS are just too afraid to have a go of a War with China.
Just using decoys or foolish proxies like the Pinoys number one duds and the Japs, now wary with the Americunts as they are a more smarter and cunning lot to fight China.

China knew that the Americunts now cannot afford to have a go with them due to their messy internal chaos and now took the opportunity to find a fault with their running skunk or Masters the Israelis

China now could have a Conflict with the UAss on the grounds whether the Americunts now dared to intervene and retaliate against them for humiliating the Israelis.

China is prepared to fight a War with the UAss in the M.E. of Gaza the Palestinians.

Also Russia is nearby and the North Koreans are also ready.

But China no need them as singly handling can defeat the UAssA.

The Arabs would then come and kick the arses of the Americunts and their cronies and lackeys and doggies and spit on them.

These are the M.E. Eunuchs that borrow knives to kill their enemies.
