Biden destroyed USA by weaponising the dollar, Trump follows up by weaponising tariffs

A little bit of chaos in exchange for a fairer multipolar world is worth the price to pay. Why keep the US$ hegemony when it is doing so much harm to the rest of the world, printing money to feed its war machine to start wars, using the US$ to sanction countries and exporting USA inflation to the rest of the world.

The USA is the mother of all counterfeiters, printing money at its whims and fancies with its US$ hegemony. It could just print and spend, print and buy goods produced by other countries and still claim it is being ripped off. What a load of hogwash thinking that everyone else is stupid.

The fact that countries are not buying USA treasuries and bonds is testimony to its coming problem of keeping the game going. Joe Biden was not overly concern with BRICS during his term. Trump is now realizing that BRICS de-dollarization is not just a harmless threat to the mighty US$, but a problem he has to deal with. Just the start of this year and we have seen the US$ bond market crippled by lack of buyers, while the US$ value has fallen by 10% in just a few months against other currencies.

It is so ironic that the USA is so short of rare earth elements that it has resorted to buying from countries discreetly under the table - South Korea and India, which had now been discovered by China. The USA may have the money, but China holds the rare earth logistics and refused to sell them to the USA. Money is not the mover in this case and China must make sure its bargaining chip is not compromised.

Trump after Musk's wealth?

Trump is fighting hard to prevent the release of the Epstein files, which is going to incriminate him beyond any reasonable doubt. This man could never ever not be a part of such a child sex ring. He thrives on it, benefitted from it and is trying to cover up his sins.

But we know the USA justice system is as much a circus as all other sectors. Two long years of Russia gate achieved nothing against Trump, and Putin is laughing at the clowns in the USA circus, spending so much time and money for nothing.

Trump even threatened to go after all those who plotted against him if he returns to office during Joe Biden's term and we can understand why no one in his administration had the guts to tell him where he is wrong. Elon Musk tried to do that and is removed, harassed and threatened with deportation. Putin has offered Elon Musk asylum in Russia. What are friends for anyway?

Trump is trying to get his hands on the wealth of Elon Musk, the DOGE chief that has been thrown to the dogs. Elon Musk lost a couple of hundred million investing in and trying to be friendly with Trump, but the biggest damage must be to his and Tesla's reputation. How did the smartest guy in the world fail to realize he will be made used of and thrown under the bus as all others before him. But then, thinking about the six bankruptcies that Trump managed to chalk up, who is surprised. How could all those people trust him after his first bankruptcy is mind boggling.

American farmers should atone the sins of American terrrorists and send their unsold products to feed the poor and hungry

The Farmers already started burning their crops and soon very soon be driving their Tractors and Harvesters into the Highways to jam the Traffic.

Also empty shelves in their stores, soon, very soon the Rednecks and Hillbillies Cowboys be straddling their Killer Arsenals and start shooting their own for survival.

These White Barabians and Savages deserved to kill their own as been killing too many coloured peoples in their past.

Also to anyone for their crimes and sins, their unsold agricultural products should be shipped to those starving countries as merits and forgiveness from their Almighty God instead of just destroying them.

Sad to say Barbarians and Savages are Barbarians and Savages and have no empathy and hearts for others.

Hello should embrace Buddhism and learnt to be humans rather than Savages.

No eyes see!

World Aquatic Championship postponed...but to resume

 World Aquatics executive director Brent Nowicki said later on Tuesday afternoon that elevated levels of the E. coli bacteria were responsible for the race postponement. He added that the source of the contamination had yet to be determined.

E. coli are bacteria typically found in the intestines of humans and animals. Common symptoms of ingesting a pathogenic strain of E. coli include vomiting and diarrhoea. CNA

Singapore is not only the world's richest country, it is also one of the cleanest island state in the world. No or very little sewage or wastewater flows into the surrounding sea. The sewage water is being harvested to make Newater or clean water and the residue waste are properly disposed off without contaminating the environment or water in the sea.

How on earth that the water around Sentosa Island, the venue for the World Aquatic Championship be found to have unacceptable high level of E Coli bacteria leading to a postponement of the event? Fortunately, subsequent testing found that the water quality was from good to excellent and the Championship could proceed after a day of delay. 

Singapore authority has been testing the water quality for the period prior to the race and found the quality to be acceptable. How on earth that the E Coli level gone to bad or unacceptable on the day of the event? It was reported 'that tests are outsourced to “outside testing agencies” to ensure rigour and independence'. Which agency did the testing? 

The other big question, how did the E Coli bacteria get into the water in unacceptable quantities? The main source of E Coli comes from shit. How did so much shit get into the water in Sentosa when all the shit was directed for further treatment in special treatment facilities, not directly into the sea?

Singapore as a clean and safe city state and a top tourist destination could be harmed by this incident.

India has to buy Chinese J10s or J35s to be at par with Pakistan

 Indians dream of controlling the skies in South Asia is now in tatters. Modi was led to believe that the Rafales were an air superiority fighter, the best in the world and could take down all Chinese aircraft, including the 5th generation J20s easily. The Indians even bragged that one Rafale could take down 5 J20s in a fight. This could be the reason why Modi did not mind paying crazily for the Rafales at nearly US$200m each, much more than the US$100m for an American F35. The F35 is ranked several rungs below the Rafales. Only the American F22s are ranked above the Rafales.

After the acquisition of the Rafales, Modi really thought that the Indian Air Force is now better than the PLAAF, and India would rule the sky.  He was so eager to prove this newly acquired Indian might in the sky, a staged false flag incident was conducted leading to the Indian Pakistan 4 Day War.  Operation Sindoor was India's graduating party into the world of military power. Thrashing Pakistan's small air force was easy and a show of force, to teach the Chinese a lesson with India's world best Rafale fighters.

Cannot imagine how bad Modi took it when at least 3 Rafales were taken down within hours of the war.  Modi paid a ransom just to buy the Rafales, and French took full advantage of it, knowing how badly the Indians wanted the Rafales and sold them at double the price of a F35.

With the Rafales now in the dust, India has to look for a better fighter jet to take on China's J10 and the more superior J35 and J20. Where on earth is India going to find such a machine? The supposedly world best, ranked number one F22 is now out of production, as good as scrapped by the Americans. And with the F22 out of the way, the Americans are painting the F35s as the new world best fighters. Only the brain dead would believe in this claim. Modi, after learning a painful lesson from the Rafale fiasco, would be much wiser and would not be duped again. But Trump tried to offer the F35 to Modi, but with many conditions, as good as saying no.

The F35 is looking like a non starter to Modi. And there is no other better aircraft available in the market to take on the J10. What to do? Maybe wait for the aliens to come visiting and offer an alien space ship to better the J10. A more practical way is of go to Xi and ask to buy the J10, at least to be on par with Pakistan's J10. And with Indian pilots, supposedly better trained than the Pakistanis, they would be one up against the Pakistanis using the same J10s. But wait a minute. Pakistan has upgraded to J35, a much more superior twin engine fighter that is many times more superior than the single engine F35. The Americans may still crow about the F35 as world best, but no one is going to believe in this joke. Several F35s had already be shot down by Iran to prove that it is not worthy of its claim, like the Rafales.

J10 is the first buy for India, but to match Pakistan, India must also look to buying the J35s. Otherwise, the Indian Air Force would look like a sick cat and the Indian pilots would be afraid to take to the sky to face the J10s. India has no choice, only China has better aircraft than the J10.
