China tightening control of rare earth to make it hurt

China has uncovered many instances of rare earth and other essential elements like Antimony and Bismuth, being smuggled out of China using labeling that concealed the real products that the USA and the West needed for the manufacture of weapons. This aggravated checking by China now is of grave concern to the USA and the West as it affects their ability to churn out war planes, rockets, missiles and drones, not to mention its dual use in the chips and AI sectors. Rare earth elements is China's most important trump card and should never be let lose, whatever and whenever negotiations are being conducted. This should be designated China's red line.

I believe the USA and the West, including Israel are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for rare earth elements to replenish their weapons lost in Ukraine and Middle East. How many of the 20,000 missiles have been expended to take down all the cheap drones, rockets and missiles fired by Iran? Why is there a need to transfer those missiles from Ukraine to Israel when Ukraine is needing them badly? Making new missiles for Israel is probably out of the question with China's ban on rare earth exports. I think they have largely exhausted their ability to make new weapons, which is why Israel is dragging the USA into the war. Remember that Israel is also having to shoot down missiles fired by the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas.

And delusional Trump is calling for Iran's unconditional surrender. Is an Israeli victory already secured to make his call to Iran to surrender a reality? Is the USA really going to enter the war? The USA is not even prepared to have an all-out war with the Houthis by having boots on the ground in Yemen. Remember that the Houthis have been engaged in a war with Saudi Arabia for years, with the latter supported by the USA with no crushing defeat of the Houthis in sight. Crushing an ideology is different from crushing a country like Iraq or Libya. There is no country to crush in a war with the Houthis, Hezbollah or Hamas.

Trump is the devil that mastermind the attack on Iran

Trump is undoubtedly the most disgusting USA President in history, if not the most disgusting human being to walk this earth. He lies whenever he opens his dirty mouth, lies again the next second to cover his earlier lies. How did the USA end up with him in the White House, and for two terms, is really astonishing. This is probably how Empires collapse eventually, with such leaders leading the country.

In a recent video, Trump was talking about an upcoming negotiation with Iranian representatives scheduled for Sunday 15th June in Oman. On Friday 13th June, Israel carried out its pre-emptive strike on Iran, that puts negotiations between USA and Iran out of the question. Now, days later, Trump was telling the world that Israel needed to strike Iran because the latter was not willing to negotiate. How he could lie through his dirty mouth by disregarding the facts is so absurd. Was the attack planned to sabotage the upcoming negotiation so that the USA/Iran war can be put to reality, using Israel as the fuse to ignite the flames? Any truce from the negotiation will probably not result in a conflict with Iran, which the USA and Israel had been looking forward to for decades.

Moreover, Trump's appointed Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, a Hindu by the way, had told the media earlier that Iran had not proceeded with uncovered plans to make a bomb. When asked about Tulsi Gabbard's information, Trump openly said that he 'does not care what she thinks'. In other words, Trump does not take the advice of even those he appointed into office, just acting at his own whims and fancies.

Now Israel is finding difficulty dealing with the Iranian retaliation and wants the USA to enter the war. It looks ominous that Russia, China and North Korea will also be helping Iran if the USA attacks Iran. This had been Putin's warning for a long time.

North Korea now says that it will never de-nuclearize, looking at the Israeli attack on Iran. Iran on the other hand has now openly indicated that getting the bomb is now its priority.

Gangster Trump in the Iran War. Who can Iran call for help?

Trump boasted that he knew where Iran's leader, Khomeini, is hiding and is an easy target. In Trump's delusional mind, everything is as easy as taking candy from a kid. In theory perhaps but not in practice. Why boast about that capability when in the next breath he said that he is not taking Khomeini out for the time being?

Trade wars are easy to win, and Trump is now in his second term, still trying to make his boast a reality. The Ukraine War seems so easy to win, just give him 24 hours and all will be over. Zelenskyy is still waiting and suffering. It is so easy to make China go on its knees with high tariffs, but everything goes haywire. China will easily collapse without trade with the USA, but he forgot there is a world much bigger than the USA.

Having said that, it must come as a shock to watch a video exposing the reality that some of the Arab/Muslim countries that may be supposedly supporting Iran are themselves colluding with the Israelis by having Israeli related companies managing their security arrangements, including Trump's Jewish son-in-law. There is undoubtedly much leakage of intelligence going around that Israel has been privy to. Which is why Israel has such precise intelligence regarding who, where and how to take those leaders out.

When Iran has neighbors sleeping with the enemy, masquerading as allies or friends, the situation is difficult to handle. Iran realistically has more trusted friends to depend on like North Korea, Russia and China than on less reliable Arab/Muslim allies.

Netanyahu destroys Israel and kills Israelis

 All the killings and destruction inside Israel, inside Israeli cities, are the gifts from Netanyahu and his savage ministries. They behave like rogues and lawless mafias, attacking countries as and when they like, telling countries what they can have or cannot have, like the American terrorists, telling the world which leader can live or cannot live, and freely killing them at will. And the Americans and white men love it and fully supported this rogue regime in Tel Aviv.  But have no pity for the Israelis for the lost of their cities and people. The majority of Israelis is behind the murderous regime and supported the attack against Iran and the killings of Iranians, and of course the decimation of the Palestinians and taking over of their land. This is good for Israel. Iran must be destroyed for peace and security for the Israelis.

The Israelis still did not think that this would bring about their own destruction. They have one track mind, cultivated over decades, that only the Israelis can hit others and others cannot hit back. This week of missile rains in Israeli cities and the death of thousands of Israelis are not good enough evidence to tell the Israelis that things would not be dictated by them anymore.  The Iranians can hit back just as hard. The lives of Israelis, to run away from their homes, to hide in bunkers, stop all their economic activities, but to live in fear and anxiety of when they would die or be maimed, no more going to the cinemas or theatres, no more drinking in the bars, no more parties or merrymakings, would be their new normal, exactly like the Palestinians in Gaza. They cannot live like that for long. They are used to inflicting pain and suffering on others, and when these happened to them, it would be unbearable. For once, they are experiencing the pains and sufferings of the Palestinians.

Netanyahu and his savages have done enough killings and destruction of Israelis and Israel. And this is only the beginning. Iran is not going to take a break to let the Israelis go back to their normal life of plenty and comfort. Now Trump the Menace is twiddling his thumbs and thinking with his little brain what he is going to do next, and to make a decision in two weeks' time.

There are 40,000 American soldiers whose lives depend on this clown. There are hundreds of warplanes, warships, airmen and seamen that would be sent to their graves in the Middle East. Trump is going to decide on these. Whether these American boys and girls would continue to enjoy their peaceful lives of plenty or be sent to die in the Middle East. Some would come back in black plastic bags and return to their parents, loved ones, when their young lives are cut short prematurely in a distant war that got nothing to do with them. Some would not come back at all, buried in the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea and the deserts of the Middle East. Trump must be enjoying every moment of it, deciding on the lives of thousands of American boys and girls.

This is the kind of decisions a rogue regime would have to decide. Xi in China would be deciding on how many ports and high speed trains to build, how many trade deals to sign, how many schools, hospitals, industrial parks to build in countries of the Global South. And the western media would praise Trump as a peace loving leader and condemn Xi as an aggressor.

Let's wish Trump will make some clever decision to send more American boys and girls to their death beds in the Middle East and be called a hero, a man of peace, and a Nobel Peace Prize. This is the American terrorists' death wish. Trump will happily sign his name to this great game of peace and show the world how a great leader he is. He is going to Make America Great Again, using the lives of American boys and girls that he did not know.  And America, Europe and all the crony countries will sing him praises for bringing peace to the Middle East and the whole world. Remember, in the dictionary of the American terrorists, War is Peace.  The hillbillies and rednecks will all be with Trump the Menace.

FIBUA in Israeli cities...Take the war to the Israelis

 Israel still thinks it is invincible against its Arab and Muslim neighbours. 6m Israelis against 600m Arabs and Muslims. How is Israel able to come up on top when the Arab and Muslim nations have numerical superiority?

Israel's strength is basically because of the Americans behind them. They rely on air power and tanks on the ground to overcome the odds against the Arabs and Muslim nations. The latter must think of a war strategy that can overcome these disadvantages, to neutralise the American support, the air power and tanks.

America is far away, though it has built up a network of military bases in the region for logistic support. But these can be neutralised if the Arab and Muslim nations are united to cut them off from supporting the Israelis. The Houthis have proven that the American warships, the aircraft carriers, can be blocked and kept away from the region eg anti ship missiles all along the northern African states to keep the American warships out of the Mediterranean Sea. The Houthis and Iran can keep them away from the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. 

After this war with Iran, many of the Israeli air bases would have been crippled, limiting the power of Israel air force to strike at neighbouring Arab and Muslim states freely, unrestrained. It would be a different matter if the war is fought inside Israel, in the big cities. The Israelis would no longer be able to bomb freely inside Israel, in their big cities against their own people and infrastructure.

The tanks are no longer that formidable with anti tank rockets and missiles and drones. Tank drivers are the most dangerous and vulnerable profession, easily taken down by rocket launchers or drones. Israeli tanks would not pose much of a threat anymore and cannot fire at random inside Israeli cities. They can be taken out easily

The Arab and Muslim nations may want to take full advantage of their numerical superiority and launch a massive attack with ground forces deep into Israel using FIBUA ie Fighting In Build Up Area. The Israelis, like the Americans, like to fight in other people's land, away from their homeland, where they can unlease the full force of air power and tank power. Fighting inside Israel will mean tying their hands and legs. They will have less freedom to blow up everything with heavy weapons, not against their own people and homes and infrastructure.

Logistical support for invading forces should not be a big issue with the Arab lands next to Israel. The numerical superiority of Arab and Muslim forces inside Israel, with only a hundred thousand fighting soldiers would be no match to the millions of soldiers that the Arab and Muslim nations can bring in. And with limited or no support from air power and tanks, the Israelis would not stand a chance. Even the Americans would have to think carefully when dropping bombs into Israeli cities filled with Israelis and Israeli homes.

This is guerilla warfare turning upside top. Instead of surrounding the cities from the countryside, instead of swimming in a sea of friendly people, it is fighting deep in the cities and swimming among the enemies. Israel cannot afford a long protracted war inside Israel. Their lives will be ruined, their economies and industries would come to a standstill.

The next phase of this war with Iran, with more bombings from Arab and Muslim nations, should be follow up with a massive invasion of Israel by Arab and Muslim forces to overrun Israeli cities. Fighting inside Israel, in Israeli cities, is the weakest link in Israeli warfare and defence strategy. Their advantage is using air power to flatten Arab and Muslim cities, indiscriminate bombing, killing everyone in the land. This is not possible inside Israel. Something they would not want to happen.

6m Israelis against 600m Arab and Muslims saturated in a small patch of land called Israel.... Even Americans would have to think twice dropping bombs inside Israel, in Israeli cities on Israelis.
