Traore and Kim Jung Un, two most dynamic and visionary leaders of today

 Traore and Kim Jung Un are two of the most effective and visionary leaders today. Traore knows what he wants for his country and people and knows what he has to do to achieve his dream. He is not a idealistic dreamer or a snake oil salesman like that Professor Lumumba, all talks but no concrete plans of action. Lumumba has been talking for two decades and still talking with nothing to his credit.

Traore in 3 years has transformed Burkina Faso into a hive of economic activities and development, building schools, roads, factories, economic hubs, building a strong army to protect his people and country. Traore is a realist and a doer. He knows that without external help, without powerful friends, he would be cooked by the white colonialists within days. They are all out to kill him and his dream.

To make his dreams come true, he must be alive, and he sought powerful friends like Russia, China, North Korea and many others to provide him the arms and military support to keep his people and country safe and secure. His enemies, the white colonialists are too powerful and deadly.

So far Traore's plan is working, securing Burkina Faso, get his people educated and trained for a new economy, feed his people, house his people, give them jobs, and keep them safe and free to live with pride and dignity.

Many dreamers of the past did not live to see their dreams come true. The colonial masters would kill them quickly, often with the help of African traitors. Traore is a shining light and needs protection from his own people and powerful friends, countries that are as powerful as his enemies to keep his enemies away and to keep him safe to do what he wants to do, has to do, to build a new and truly independent country and people.

Kim Jung Un knows that the Americans and the West are planning and plotting to kill him and to bring down his country. They will come for him sooner or later. He chooses to fight now when he has a chance than to wait to fight alone and in vain.

Kim knows that Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, Iran cannot be destroyed by the Americans and the Israelis, and Traore too must succeed. The destruction of Russia, Iran and Burkina Faso, and China, would mean he will be next. The future and independence of North Korea and his people depends on the survival of China, Russia, Iran and countries of the Global South to stand up against the Americans and the West. He cannot stay on the sideline and pray that he will be safe. His war for survival starts now, in Ukraine, in Iran, in Africa. He decisively committed his soldiers in Ukraine, in Iran, in Burkina Faso to fight against American hegemony and the West. 

No country in the Global South has this conviction and courage to fight on the side of Russia, Iran and Burkina Faso. Most countries know too that they will be swallowed up by the Americans and the West, but choose not to fight, and hoping that they could live a few days longer.  Iran's survival is so important to the survival of Arab and Muslim countries. But not one dares to join Iran except for Pakistan. All chooses to hide under the bed thinking they will be safe but knowing that they would not be safe when Iran is gone.

It takes a lot of wisdom and courage to act now to join the fight. Kim Jung Un is the man that walks the talk. Traore too. Traore is the shining light in Africa and could free Africa from being the never ending shithole to the West, to be exploited and oppressed forever. Many Africans and African leaders are seeing a new Africa through Traore. As for the rest of the world, better not to be heard or not to be seen. Or to crawl to Washington to kiss Trump's ass.

Both Traore and Kim Jung Un have shown the way. Many Africans are following Traore. But not many are following Kim. Instead, some are joining the American and Israeli terrorist camp or went AWOL.

Douglas MacGregor - Iran's Pearl Harbour

 Col MacGregor referred to the Israeli sneak attack, without declaration of war, as Iran's Pearl Harbour moment. And there are many similarities in the two incidents. Japan was a powerful military power then, just like Israel, invincible in the neighbourhood and thought they could rule the world. Israel's ambition is to rule the Middle East. In terms of relative size, Japan to the USA is like Israel to Iran. Both Japan and Israel are industrial powers. Both the USA and Iran are also industrial powers but with much bigger economy, population and land size.

Japan celebrated its attack on Pearl Harbour as a great victory, like Israel against Iran. The initial impact always favoured the aggressor with the element of surprise and first mover advantage. The ending could be the same, ominous for the cocky and aggressive Israelis like the cocky and aggressive Japanese. History is likely to repeat itself.

Israel may feel confident that it has mighty America backing it and supplying it with all the weapons it needs, unlike Japan having to depend all on itself. In Iran's case, there are China, Russia, North Korea and several other likeminded allies on its side to offset the American might. 

As the war drags on, Israel could count on the white countries like UK, France, Germany and some American cronies to join its side. Iran could count on the Arab and Muslim states and the Global South when this escalates to a world war.

The manufacturing capability of Israel against Iran is like Japan against the USA in WW2. On the other hand, the USA is no longer the industrial giant it used to be against a China and the Global South.

The initial success of the Israelis may prove to be fleeting, like the Japanese success in Pearl Harbour. There is no way for the Israelis to bomb the whole of Iran but Iran could bomb out the whole of Israel to turn Israel into the like of Gaza.

Would Israel be the next Japan? Oops, Israel has nuclear bombs. But Iran could also make theirs or be supplied with nuclear bombs by its friends. Pakistan already made the offer. North Korea would also be in the queue. The ending could be tragic for little Israel like little Japan. Israel may nuke a few Iranian cities but there will still be many cities standing. Iran could nuke every city in Israel.

China and Russia hold the key to this conflict. Would they be firm enough to tell the Americans, you nuke Iran, we nuke you.

Israel's fairytale is ending. The 'Iron Dome' fairytale has ended.

Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas will still be around. Iran may be destroyed, but the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas are more than a country. They are ideologies that cannot be destroyed. We should not kid ourselves that killing leaders of such organization is destroying them. There are always new leaders taking over. They may just hibernate and will arise when conditions are conducive.

The USA and the West may designate them as terrorist groups, while calling their own as 'freedom fighters'. They are the same, fighting for a cause, a freedom from colonization, from genocidal entities, from Western supported dictators. The roots of Al Queda, ISIS, Jamaah Islamiyah and others are still around.

Trump wants to kill Muslim leader Khamenei. He forgot about protecting Muslim minorities in Xinjiang?

It is perhaps God's will that Russia did not remain in G7 or G8. Otherwise, there would not be any Ukraine War and NATO vis a vis USA would now be fighting a war instead against China. With Russia on the side of NATO as still being a member of G8, that would have been even more detrimental for China and China's dependent on Russian energy. Heaven his eyes indeed that Russia and China are watching each other's back today.

Pushing Russia towards China was a massive geopolitical mistake for the USA and NATO. And it was all a hasty act to punish Russia involving the Crimea issue by kicking Russia out of G8. Perhaps the biggest irony is that Trump could be right this time with his take that it was a mistake to kick out Russia from the G8.

Now Russia and China are helping each other against the USA and Europe. China buys energy from Russia, helping its war economy, while Russia benefitted from investments by China moving into areas vacated by the West. And to add insult to injury, all these trade and investments are being done outside the US$, with de-dollarization being the agenda. Karma works in mysterious ways, or should I say God's justice works in mysterious ways.

Russia and China have cemented their ties, with Russia's energy now flowing to the East, particularly to China and India which is going to be a permanent feature with the latter two countries needing massive cheap energy to fuel their industrial growth. With Middle East tensions flaring now and then, Russia is providing some semblance of energy reliability for China.

If the USA attacks Iran, it will close off the 'Straits of Hormuz' and Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates will face economic disaster without the ability to export their oil. That is going to send oil prices into the twilight zone.

Trump is now demanding Iran's 'unconditional surrender' and threatens to assassinate Iran's leader. Gloating about killing a sovereign country's leader openly is unbecoming of a leader and is an act of an uncivilized being, not to mention he is supposed to be a leader setting an example for the world to look up to. Trump should also demand for the unconditional surrender of the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas to make life easier and better for the Israelis. Trump is realistically facing pressure from the Israeli lobby in the USA to enter the war, knowing that Israel is facing a dire situation by underestimating the resolve of the Iranians in retaliation.

Grandstanding by Trump achieves nothing, like gloating about China needing to kiss his arse. Even his own countrymen are looking at him as no more than a clown. His birthday cum military parade was a disaster with meagre crowds compared to the huge protests erupting all around the country. That birthday bash was estimated to have cost taxpayers as much as US$45 million to stage, according to some sources. And the Hillbillies were known to have laughed at military parades in Russia and North Korea honoring dictators. Well, who laugh last laugh best.

Some points are off topic, so my apologies if I offended anyone.

American terrorists started another war in Iran. Iron clad support for Israel, like Ukraine

This is all inside the USA playbook. And both USA political parties are just playing according to the book. It is a case of the right hand passing the book to the left hand to continue the charade, whichever party sits in the White House.

The USA made use of Ukraine to start the war with Russia. Ukraine was sold the 'iron clad' mantra that the USA together with other NATO countries will support it, whatever the cost and no matter how long it takes to defeat Russia. With the shit really hitting the fan, Ukraine is now crying for help from the USA, but Trump is walking away, leaving Europe to scoop up the shit. And Kier Starmer is trying to lead the way.

Now in the Middle East, it is the same modus operandi, with the USA wanting to start a war with Iran and using the Israelis to do the honors. Again, the Israelis knew that the USA will be standing behind with 'iron clad' aid to take on the Iranians. After the retaliation by Iran, it is a turning into a war that Israel is now not certain of winning and Israel now wants the USA to get directly involved as well. And involved it is going to be with Iran also targeting USA bases where probably those F35s were taking off or refueling. It was all well planned, but with the eventual result still uncertain. The biggest challenge will come if the USA attacks Iran and the latter were to blockade the Straits of Hormuz. Oil prices will shoot to the roof and inflation as well.

And this will be the modus operandi in the South China Sea as well, with Taiwan and Philippines standing by to start another conflict once the USA decides to up the ante with provocations, or create an incident for that, a false flag maybe. After all, Taiwan and the Philippines have also been given 'iron clad' assurances of USA help in times of conflict with China.

One important aspect though is that China controls the rare earth elements needed to make weapons, planes, missiles and drones. Cutting that off will cripple the USA and Western extended war ambitions. China holds the cards and must never relent on its control of rare earths. China is doing the rest of the world a big favor not to allow unlimited weapons manufacturing that will be used to terrorize the world.
