China arming Iran and Pakistan to the teeth...and with nuclear umbrella

 It takes two regional wars, short and sharp wars, to change the balance of power in the Middle East and the world. The Indian Pakistan War and the Iran Israeli War were eyeopeners. Both wars shocked the world into disbelief. The Pakistanis did not believe that they could easily defeat the Indians. The Iranians did not believe they could successfully attack and bombed Israel into another Gaza. Not forgetting the great works of the Houthis in keeping the Americans in check in the Red Sea.

The Indians were in shock as well. So did the Israelis and the Americans. How could these things be happening? How could the Pakistanis defeat mighty and cocky India? How could Iran bomb Israel at will and the Israelis and the Americans were hapless, could not stop the attack? How could the rag tag freedom fighters of Yemen keep the Americans at bay and running out of ideas how to beat the Houthis?

Even China and Russia were shocked by these developments. The superiority of the Americans and the West and their weapons were smashed completely. The Chinese and Russians did not believe their weapons were that good, after decades of gloating and bragging by the Americans and the West, that western weapons were the best in the world, outclassed whatever the Chinese and Russians have. 

The consequences of the success of the Pakistanis, Iranians and Houthis have led to increasing confidence in China and Russia, and conversely, the loss of confidence in the Americans and the West of their superiority. The Chinese J10 is now the most talked about and the most feared fighter aircraft in the world, having thrashed the IAF and their air superiority Rafale jets, making them looked like toys.

The sales talks, lies and snake oil sellers are just that. China and Russia are now more resolute and firm in their support of their friends like Pakistan and Iran, and the other Arab and Muslim states. China and Russia are now fully committed to arm Pakistan and Iran to the hilt, so that they can defend themselves against any foreign aggression. Both Pakistan and Iran and many Arab and Muslim states would get the weapons they need, the best weapons money can buy, to protect their independence and sovereignty, with more confidence and assurance. And these countries also know that what they are buying are the real stuff, not branded goods that cost an arm or a leg, but cheaper and better, Made in China, to take on the fake branded toys of the West. China and Russia have also extended the nuclear umbrella to Iran. Both Iran and Pakistan can no longer be defeated.

The balance of power in the Middle East and the world would no longer be the same again when Chinese and Russian weapons are sold and deployed all over the world to take on the western terrorist states. The defeated protagonists, India and Israel, have been very quiet, quieter than church mouse. Losers know that they are losers, and it is best to keep quiet and not to be heard and seen.

Trump is behaving like a lunatic, thinking he is God, deciding the fate of everything by his words

Trump is now very very unhappy with Putin over Ukraine, for not following his truce trap. I cannot use his superlative big, beautiful or mega in this case to illustrate my point, LOL.

Wasn't Trump supposed to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of him taking office? What happened? It is now six months since he took office, and the war is still raging. Now he is threatening Putin with 100% tariffs if Putin does not stop the war within 50 days. Now, I am sure that 50 days will be extended by another 50 days. Trump is well known for chickening out.

By the way, what is Russia now exporting to the USA that Putin must be sweating about the 100% tariff? I only know Putin is exporting missiles that have been landing in Ukraine, causing massive destruction, nothing much more than that, LOL.

According to reports, Russia exports to USA amounted to about US$3 billion, in essential items like nuclear fuel for USA's power plants. Russia is also still supplying LNG to Europe and if a push by Trump using heavy handed measures on Europe manages to cut that off with 100% tariffs, Europe will suffer much more than Russia. Russia can do without the USA in this sector. Putin is not going to pee in his pants. China is building nuclear power plants like crazy and needs lots of nuclear fuel.

I could also not help thinking about Trump gloating about USA going to supply 17 batteries of Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine. How many missiles can 17 batteries hold? Are they going to be effective against Russia's hypersonic missiles is the question. If the USA is in a position to make missiles en masse for Ukraine, why not supply them to Israel earlier, instead of transferring 20,000 interceptor missiles from Ukraine? With that transfer out of Ukraine, I think Putin saw his opportunity to unload his drones and missiles on Kyiv over the last couple of weeks.

Tariff is such a big, beautiful word that Trump discovered and is using it as a weapon now to make USA great again. While China is building bridges to control essential metals with ASEAN, particularly Indonesia, Trump is sending out letters of demand to countries to announce his big, beautiful tariffs on them.

Instead of doing more constructive things to save the USA, Trump is besotted with his tariff thing. Talk about Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Sicko American propaganda machine still pushing sick and fake news

Can we still remember the time when Kim Jong Un disappeared for two weeks, and they speculated that he even passed away and the news kept secret. Later he reappeared, hale and hearty, and firing more missiles to make Japan and South Korea jittery.

Can we still remember the time when the Western media speculated that Putin is very sick and dying and has only six months to live at the start of the Ukraine War. It is already three years into the war and Putin is alive and well, firing even more missiles into Ukraine as well.

Recent propaganda has also been going around in certain anti-China social media platform that Xi is losing control in China and that an opposing group within the CCP is trying to take him out and that he is even under house arrest, because he failed to appear for a couple of days. Xi later appeared, visiting villages and looking at their problems. Xi does not need to appear everywhere around the world every other time. He has very capable ministers conducting diplomatic missions on his behalf. Wang Yi is a highly respected foreign minister for China, just like Sergei Lavrov for Russia. Others like Li Qiang, He Lifeng are given exposures to run the country when Xi is no longer around. What is wrong with Xi not attending the BRICS summit in Brazil? Leadership has to be passed on when those at the lower echelons are promoted.

So, let us be circumspect about all the sick propaganda being trotted out whenever leaders like Putin, Xi or Kim fail to appear in public. Nothing is wrong with them. Does Putin look sick? I think Trump looks even more sick with all the orange makeup on his face. He is also mentally sick as well, but of course they will claim he is in perfect health, just like Joe Biden before he was removed. I say Biden was removed, because nothing points to him voluntarily pulling out of the Presidential race in 2024.

Emperor Trump writing new laws for USA

In the end, it is all about going to be 'Make Trump Great Again'. Trump is cashing in on his crypto coin with his face on it, that some buyers lost their pants eventually. Trump now has his own line of colognes and perfumes, if I am not mistaken. What else is next? And I just wonder how saleable is his 'Golden Visa' for foreign visitors aiming to become USA citizens, at US$5 million apiece.

Having seen Trump arbitrarily changing the law regarding birthright citizenship for those born in USA, there is no guarantee that some other future rogue USA Presidents may also change the law regarding citizenship arising from Trump's 'Golden Visa' carrot. By the way, there are calls withing the USA that Melania Trump and her son Baron, should also face deportation as Melania is also an immigrant with birthright also applicable to Baron Trump. Oh, not to forget that Trump has also threatened Elon Musk with deportation.

MAGA is all about getting Trump elected and re-elected. That has been accomplished. But making USA Great Again is not showing dividends. Now it is more like destroying the USA being the fulltime fixation of Trump.

China to reunify Taiwan without firing a bullet

 Gangster and Fox News reader came to the Shangri La Dialogue and told everyone that America is the hegemonic power in Asia and South East Asia. This balance of power where the American forces rule the region must remain unchanged and unchallenged. China is a threat to this balance of power and wants to be the new hegemonic power to replace the Americans. The Americans will be here to stay whether the Asian or Asean countries like it or not. 

In addition, gangster Hegseth claimed that China is going to invade Taiwan by force without knowing that Taiwan is a part of China. And he ordered all the military and govt officials, many senior enough to be his father or grandfather, to buy more weapons from the Americans and join the American forces to go to war with China.

Singapore simply said it did not want to choose side in the US China rivalry and Singapore has many choices and pointed to Macron, saying Singapore would welcome France to the region. Malaysian PM, the current Chairman of Asean, said Asean would welcome all powers here and would not want not to get involved in any wars, and China is a good friend, investing heavily in Malaysia and building Malaysia's high speed train network. He also emphasised that Asean would remain neutral and free from superpower rivalry and coercion. Anwar added that Asean had invited China and the Gulf States to form a new economic block for trade and economic development. The US is not invited into this new trade and economic block.

China will reunite with Taiwan, a breakaway province during the civil war in the early 20th Century. And China's plan for reunification is in progress. China has more than a million soldiers and the three armed services on its side to take on any country that dares to interfere in China's reunification with Taiwan. Gangster Hegseth thought his 28,000 soldiers in South Korea and another 50,000 soldiers in Japan would be good enough to take on China's more than 1m soldiers. This is what a newbie news reader's great idea of fighting a war with China and winning.

China's reunification plan is simple. Chinese forces would be conducting live firing exercises around the island of Taiwan for a month. The air space and waterways would be out of bound to air and naval traffic. Any aircraft or naval ships entering the region would be shot and taken down. Chinese air and naval might would form a cordon around Taiwan to keep out intruders. China's aircraft carriers and warships would be fully deployed to stop hostile forces from approaching Taiwan island. The ADAA defence perimeters would be activated and guarded by Chinese hypersonic missile forces.

Taiwan would be told to keep its aircraft on the ground and warships in the harbours during the exercise period.  The army units would be told to stay in their camps. No one moves, no one gets hurt or die. Any aircraft or warship that violates this restriction would be fired and taken down. The Chinese forces are capable of taking down any aircraft or warship in the air or sea surrounding Taiwan.

This in effect is a lockdown of Taiwan completely. Would Taiwan forces dare to violate the no fly zone knowing that it would definitely be taken down? Would any foreign forces dare to do the same to risk being taken down? Would the American forces, its allied forces dare to test China's defence forces to break the lockdown?

After a month is over, if the Taiwanese still refuses to reunify with the mainland, the exercise period would be extended another month, and on and on until Taiwan reunite with the mainland. This could be achieved without firing a shot.

The Americans may try to start a war with China during the lockdown. Would the Americans and its allies have the will and means to take on China in China's front yard? The smart Taiwanese know that resistance is futile when China decides to reunify the island with the mainland. Would they choose to die fighting to the last Taiwanese like the Ukrainians?

China does not need to use force unless absolutely necessary when provoked or challenged. The reunification would be peaceful and swift without external interference. Any country other than the Americans thinks it is up to it to want to go to war with China because of Taiwan?

Why Taiwanese would not fight? Reunification is not subjugation. The Taiwanese would continue to rule themselves and life will be the same, even better.  Why fight in a losing war and gain nothing but to die?
