America is a country of dumbasses led by a bunch of clowns...using lies

Truth for the USA is alien. Lying is the new doctrine, and the USA is still refining its definition of what else to cover using lies.

The jobs creation lie has been exposed. In actual fact, most people knew it was all fabricated numbers when the USA reported 'highly inflated job creation numbers' that had to be pushed back by hundreds of thousands later. But USA citizens just took them in their stride, perhaps knowing that they will always have to take those figures with a spoonful of salt. Now, with the firing of the Labor Statistics chief for revealing the truth, the job creation machinery is losing even more credibility.

The deportation of undocumented immigrants to create low paying jobs for USA citizens is another lie being exposed. USA citizens are not going to work in food and beverage establishment for low pay and long hours. Neither will they be willing to work in farms doing backbreaking jobs for a pittance that immigrants are willing to undertake. Now farmers are facing a double whammy. They cannot export agricultural produce to China yet also facing labor shortages harvesting and replanting. That is provided they can even decide what to plant next season. Soya beans and corn are toxic crops without the Chinese market. China is closing down the USA scam using a third country to export USA corn and soya beans to China. Argentina has just been caught in the crossfire.

I am waiting for the other big lie to be exposed. That relates to which country is going to eat those tariffs. However, for those with a head and a little bit of grey matter in it, the answer is obvious. The tariffs will be eaten raw by USA citizens, nothing more and nothing less. Not answering the question of 'Who pays the tariffs' does not solve the problem. Having heads buried in the sand does not mean the body is not going to be eaten by predators. From August onward, things will get really interesting. Nancy Pelosi should be entertained to no end.

How the Americans coerced the world to fight China and Russia

 There is no such thing as being neutral in the eyes of the American terrorists. You are either with us or against us. Some in the world think they can be neutral, no need to choose side. To some extent, in some cases, this may be possible. But in many cases, the rest of the world were coerced to fight on the side of the Americans. A good example was the sanction on Russia in the Ukraine War. Those who were coerced to sanction Russia ended up fighting Russia by not trading with Russia. Some silly asses volunteered to sanction Russia to fight on the side of the Americans. Not sure if they know about this.

India thought it could straddle between two boats because of its position as a pawn to counter China. Trump is now throwing India under the bus, not wasting time to humour Modi anymore. You are with us or against us. Period. The Americans have been practising this policy for ages, coercing everyone, friends or foes, to be on their side, to go against their enemies. But some silly ASEAN countries often stood up to smear China as the party that were forcing ASEAN countries to take sides without shame. Playing doggies to the Americans is a way to be invited to the White House I supposed.

Countries of the world have been coerced by the Americans to fight their wars against China and Russia and friends, directly in all wars of invasion conducted by the Americans or indirectly in trade wars, sanctions and bans unwillingly and unknowingly. The Ukraine War is a good case of such American tactics. When the Americans go against the Russians, every country in the world must also do so, by sanctioning Russia or not trading with Russia, to isolate Russia and to kill the Russian economy.

Then there is the greater tariff war. All the tariffs were shafted to all affected countries to coerce them to stop trading with China and Russia. The trade and tariff negotiations would include terms and conditions that these countries must stop all relations with China and Russia, meaning that they would be on the American side in their wars against them. All the countries are dragged, forced, coerced to be fighting on the side of the Americans. There is no chance to be neutral. They all became unwilling allies of the Americans in wars that they are not interested and would not want to be involved. The American terrorists would not let anyone off the hook. They weaponised everything possible to get everyone in their wars of aggression.

And some willing parties, while pretending to be neutral, thinking that the world is stupid, would use their national media to attack China and Russia and American's enemies, daily, publishing negative articles about China and Russia, smearing and insinuating that China and Russia are the bad guys when the bad guys were the American terrorists, their political masters pulling all the strings.

India and Philippines taking role of sheriff of South China Sea...Actually two Mickey Mouse in a looney show

 India, the strongest military power, and the Philippines, the strongest military power in ASEAN, are stepping up their military cooperation in the South China Sea. They are now holding joint naval patrols to maintain peace and stability in the area, once the role of the Americans and Australians. The real reason is to counter China's presence.

The point is this, did India and the Philippines got approval from the Americans and the Australians, and also from the Japanese, to assume the role of being the policemen of the South China Sea? Or they think they are strong enough to ignore the Americans and allies. They just do what they want as the two most powerful countries in the region, with antique warships and hand me downs from the Americans and Japanese.

Oh, did India and the Philippines ask the views of ASEAN states? ASEAN states also have an interest in the security and stability of the region. Maybe they have, and the rest of ASEAN just say yes, after all India and the Philippines are the two most powerful states here. Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore have very small and weak navies and better shut up. 

Another point, patrolling the South China Sea needs a lot of money for fuel, supplies and the salaries for the sailors. And India and the Philippines are also very rich, so they can afford to pay for the role they are taking up, as the protectors of the South China Sea, to ensure there is freedom of navigation so that their merchant ships can ply safely through these waters, with their cargoes of bananas, maids, pharma drugs, and high tech goods from India.

The South China Sea trade routes are very important to these two great trading nations. China and the ASEAN states should say a big thank you to the Indians and Pinoys to patrol and maintain freedom of navigation at their own costs and save some money from doing it themselves.

Good job, India and the Philippines. 

Trump and American data cannot be trusted

When a country is presented with mediocre candidates for election, when more credible ones are sidelined, the result is obvious. Not just India. Look at the USA today. Unrecognizable to say the least. But then, as we know, Empires come and go, and no matter what plans have been put in place to make the USA the only superpower forever, thinking that the fall of the Soviet Union is making that a reality, things are falling apart. The rise of China was never factored in.

Trump thinks he can threaten Putin to stop attacking Ukraine by using two nuclear submarines trying to make Putin pee in his pants. In geopolitical horse trading, they say that everyone should know for a fact that you cannot threaten Putin. Russia tells the USA it has more nuclear subs than the USA and all the resources to make more. In fact, Russia has more nukes than the USA. Only problem is whether Trump knows it or not.

I believe Trump is at the end of his tethers and is desperate, with everything crumbling around him. The deportation of undocumented immigrants is coming back to haunt him as well, with his wife Melania also an immigrant allowed into USA using dubious means that Trump was able to carry out with his wealth. Some people in the USA are calling for Melania and Baron to be deported like those immigrants.

The jobs data statistics for May, June and July was substantially reduced by hundreds of thousands, clearly showing that the USA job creation gloated about were all baloney and highly inflated figures, as was in the past. For releasing the reality, the head of the Labor Statistics Department lost his job for telling the truth. Truth is no longer acceptable for Trump. Lying is the norm nowadays. For people like Scott Bessen, Pete Hegseth and Howard Lutnik, I think they knew what they had to do, by lying about everything just to make Trump happy.

Is that a recipe for how an Empire is going to collapse? But I think the Trump administration does not think so. Let us enjoy the show for while it lasts.

How to spin the story that China is forcing India to take sides

How to spin the story that China is forcing India to take sides. China and India do not even see eye to eye in BRICS and SCO.

If the USA, using its roguish behavior, cannot even force India to buy its F35, open up its agricultural sector, force India not to buy Russian oil and abide by its agreement in negotiations with Trump, with threats and more threats, how is China even seen as succeeding in coercing India to take sides?

The USA is now so hard up for forging reasonable propaganda against China, it has to resort to peddling fake news and lies. How can countries just continue to swallow USA lies when the truth does not reflect its credibility. In the mindset of Trump, getting rid of the truth by removing those who dared to expose his lies is the only recourse left for the rogue regime. Removing the labor chief who revealed the real statistics of USA employment tells us that the USA administration can only tolerate its own lies, nothing else. When the truth hurts and those who wanted to reveal the truth are removed, who dares to go against the de-facto dictator sitting in the White House?
