Trump and the USA media spinning about an agreement in London

Trump and the USA media are spinning about an agreement being reached when the reality says otherwise. An agreement to have further talks is more likely, not a big, beautiful agreement that Trump is boasting about.

Do not be taken aback by Trump's boast about China facing a 55% tariff, while only erecting a 10% tariff against USA imports into China. That sounds like China is caving in. The reality is that whether it is a 30% tariff now, or a 55% tariff going forward, Chinese manufacturers have already been actively found new markets for their products - a 20% increase to ASEAN, with Indonesia taking the cake with a 36% surge. Just a matter of weeks is truly encouraging for Chinese manufacturers. They are brushing aside the USA market for sure.

What is more realistic going forward is whether the 55% tariffs will encourage more Chinese manufacturers to sell once again to retailers in USA or is going to make the position even worse. I would bet on the latter. Which means that there will be more empty shelves in the coming months, with new orders by retailers like Walmart and Target still falling. What is in it for the Trump touting about his win in a 55% tariff against China's 10%? It means little and China is just allowing him to let off hot air to his MAGA base claiming that he is winning.

In the face of Trump spinning as reported on Channel News America, China has not spoken a word about any deal being made, only indicating that there is now a channel for further co-operation with the USA. Nothing about releasing rare earth in abundance or caring to comment about the 55% tariffs. What is there to talk about when China is ready for real decoupling with the USA. Even if the tariffs were to be raised to 1,000%, China cares two hoots.

Let not us be fooled that the world cannot survive without the USA

 According to a report by Kevin Walmsley on his site 'Inside China Business' citing reports on the rankings of top universities around the world, USA universities are falling fast in the rankings of the hard sciences - physics, chemistry and engineering, the building blocks of future development. Chinese universities are fast replacing them among the top tier universities.

There is also a report that top scientists, engineers and researchers have been deserting the USA for more lucrative and safer job opportunities in Chinese universities. These Chinese scientist, engineers and researchers have faced problems working in the USA and have decided to migrate to China for a safer and more secure working environment. It is a massive gain for China and a crippling blow for the USA.

Remember that these are top scientists, engineers and researchers educated, trained and highly experienced that have contributed to the USA's technological edge over the decades in computer science, aerospace and nuclear science, and the loss would be more detrimental. They will bring with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise, with China not needing to pay a single cent to nurture them. It is a blessing in disguise for China.

Now, prospective Chinese students, wishing to study in the USA, are weighing whether to take the risk of facing further future visa banning, knowing that Trump's behavior is erratic and unfathomable. Moreover, the cost of an education in the USA is not cheap and the studying environment is not conducive in the face of worries about safety and possible disruption.

The world is larger than the USA and there are alternatives everywhere. Let not us be fooled that the world cannot survive without the USA. That is ending and even decoupling is no longer a threat that the Chinese feared. Now, it is the USA that feared decoupling and migrating the narrative to 'de-risking'. I am not fooled by the 'word salad' expertise of the USA politicians.

Hong Kong Protest returning to its roots in America

After liberating the world with his 'Liberation Day' tariffs, Trump is now gloating about liberating Los Angeles as well. It looks like the pigeons have come home to roost.

Trump has been touting about the arrest of Los Angeles Governor, Gavin Newsome and Mayor Karen Bass for impeding law enforcement. Karen Bass had been involved in the fire setting during the protests in Hong Kong in 2019/2020 and is now fighting fires herself instead in Los Angeles. Karma is working. Justice for the Hong Kong Government is really sweet.

Had the Hong Kong protests, which was more violent, been met with the deployment of troops by China, it would have been compared to the fake Tiananmen Massacre fiasco, where millions were reported to have been killed. Unearthed documents revealed that no such massacre happened at Tiananmen Square. Some deaths were reported in and around Tiananmen Square, not in the Square itself, probably instigated by the NED and the CIA.

Trump is now claiming that 'Aliens' are causing the riots in Los Angeles. Funny that the MSM did not point to Aliens funding and inciting the Hong Kong protests, using the fight for democracy as an excuse to pull wool over unsuspecting eyes. Now we know better that the CIA and NED were involved deeply and had been involved for years working the ground.

It is ok for America and Israel to bomb Iran's nuclear sites

Washington reportedly believes Israel could strike Iran’s nuclear sites without its approval.

The US has begun evacuating non-essential personnel and family members from its embassies and military bases in the Middle East in light of escalating tensions with Iran.  RT

The Plan has been approved, and the Israelis are going to strike Iran's nuclear sites with full support, approval and involvement of the Americans. The Americans would provide all the logistics, weapons, satellite information, and even fire power from American bases and aircraft carriers.  Zelensky has angrily complained that the Americans have diverted 20,000 missiles to the American forces in the Middle East. The sin of Iran is that it does not want to give up enriching uranium that can be made into nuclear bombs. On the other hand, it is Americans and Israelis right to have thousands of nuclear bombs to threaten and blackmail Iran and the rest of the world whenever they like.

Any condemnation from the UN or from any principled countries in NATO or the Global South?  Silence! What if Iran is planning to strike Israeli nuclear sites? There will be an immediate uproar. Iran is aggressive and wanting to start a war with Israeli. All the western media, including media of American crony states would be publishing such news in their front pages.

Now when the Americans and Israelis are going to strike Iran, not a word of protest or condemnation is heard. It is the right of the evil American Empire and rogue state Israel to attack anyone, any country they like. Who is there to stop them? Who dares to stop them?

Would Russia and China be in the way to stop this attack? Would China and Russia be condemned as the aggressors for wanting defending Iran from the rogues and terrorists from Israel and America? By the way, the Asean countries trusted the Americans more than China as peace loving country and some even openly called for the American terrorists to be the policemen of SE Asia...so that the Americans can then set up more bases and deployed more terrorists in uniform, to attack countries in the region that refused to toe the American line, like Iran. Asean countries would support the American and Israelis attack on Iran. You can bet none of them would protest, just keep quiet.

Who are the real terrorists and who are the real aggressors? Which country has been calling war, war, war? Which country has been talking about attacking this country and that country? Which country has been invading countries in Asia, Middle East and Africa? Dunno?  Oh, must be aggressive China?

Who would be supporting the American hegemon to rule over Asia and SE Asia? American cronies, don't be shy, please raise your hands and start to smear and criticise China and Russia as the aggressive countries when they stand up to defend Iran.

White savages have no regards to the destruction of humanity caused by WW3

 Just listen to the rhetoric and actions of the white savages, the Americans and the Europeans, they are totally insane. They are pushing for wars and behaving recklessly to escalate the war in Ukraine and to want to continue to attack Russia at all costs. They are not letting up. 

The big strike by Ukraine on Russian air bases is not the work of Ukraine alone but the Brits and Nato and likely the Americans as well. Putin has responded to show these savages that Russia is not a pushover and a nuclear power with thousands of warheads to nuke them. But these did not deter the white savages from wanting to go on with the war. Trump had hinted that the white savages are planning more attacks and bigger attacks against Russia. Clown Zelensky is still dancing around wanting to continue to fight.

Do these savages really believe Putin would not nuke them, that they could survive a nuclear war? For the moment they are not holding back, acting as if they are going to destroy Russia without themselves being destroyed. This is how dangerous and how ignorant the white savages are.

With the European savages thinking that they can fool around with war against Russia, a nuclear superpower, it is easy to understand why Mickey Mouse too are not afraid of being wiped out by a war with superpowers.

The world cannot avoid a nuclear war with the American and European lunatics savage instinct for wars and more wars. They did not believe in peace. According to gangster Hegseth, war is peace. The white savages are such peaceful people. The Asean people also believe so and love to party with them, to sleep with them.

It is war, war and war. Increase defence budgets, buy more weapons, incite and provoke for war and war will be here. Just keep bombing Russia and Europe would be blessed with an all our nuclear war. Just join the American terrorists and warmongers and Asia and SE Asia will have a big war in the region. Just do nothing, say nothing, and the Americans and Israelis will attack Iran.
