Trump is squeezing dry Japan, South Korea and Taiwan

Now, not even Taiwan trusts Trump about moving 50% of TSMC's manufacturing to the USA. Little by little Trump is squeezing the last drop of juice remaining in TSMC. What Trump wants is the technology in TSMC's high end semiconductor dominance. Nothing more and nothing about protecting Taiwan per se.

Japan's upcoming new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is also rethinking the US$550 billion investments extracted through arm twisting by Trump on Shigeru Ishiba, the resigning Japanese PM during tariff negotiations.

South Korea is also not committed to invest US$350 billion in the USA, also arm twisted by Trump during tariff negotiations. Trump even wants South Korea to pay that investment upfront, acting like a mafia lord. After the ICE raid and arrest of Hyundai workers in the USA, South Korea is standing up to Trump in the face of the South Korean worker's indignant protests.

Now, all that gloating by Trump about investments by Japan and South Korea is like a puff of hot air, going, going and soon gone. Trump is really making USA Great Again, with even allies now distancing themselves from his childish behavior. Asians are basically telling Trump that enough is enough.

Risk to America launching a reckless attack on China is with the no brain Trump and equally brainless Washington rogues

This is all assuming the Chinese have not time and capability to retaliate from a first strike. I believe the Chinese knows the meaning of second-strike capabilities, as not all nuclear weapons and their whereabouts can be destroyed with first strike on the vastness of the Chinese mainland and on the high seas. One or two nukes against Seoul, Tokyo and Manila will silence them for good. The nukes today are unlike those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those are just like firecrackers in comparison, dropped on a hapless non-nuclear Japan that cannot retaliate.

That is also assuming North Korea's Kim is just prepared to sit around twiddling his thumb and Putin is just taking a nap. What are Putin and Kim's purpose in attending the Victory Day Parade in Beijing? To exchange T-shirts with Xi, enjoy Chinese food or make further deals to consolidate their military strategy? Your guess is as good as mine.

Kim Jong Un knows that China and Russia are its guarantee of survival and would not be sitting around to face destruction likewise. Putin knows Russia depends much on Chinese economic support and has much to lose if China capitulates to the West. That will expose Russia on all fronts facing NATO to the West and USA occupied China to the South East.

It is not as simple as the USA assuming it can walk all over China with ease. Even Vietnam, a small country is nothing like a walkover for the USA if we consider the differences in military strength. Yet the USA lost the war with all the military advantages.

The USA may have fought countless wars during its short history, some with painful defeat like in Vietnam. China has fought many wars, both civil and against foreign aggression in its five- thousand-year history and has yet to collapse, unlike the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Hitler's war machine and Napolean the military genius.

Let us say the USA takes control of China, just like the attempts made by the Anglo-Saxon White clique in the past dividing up China into concessions. Can the USA hope to rule over China with its vast landscape and the Chinese definitely going to fight back. Even controlling Iraq and Afghanistan posed huge logistic problems for the USA. China is bigger than that and the USA is just like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. It will choke itself to death.

明天会更好 Tomorrow Will Be Better - Chinese, Pinyin & English Translation

Donald Trump is the most evil man today!

 Stop looking away, stop pretending that you do not know what is going on in Gaza. Stop the pretence that Trump has nothing to do with the genocide that is going on everyday, every hour, every minute, every second, killing Palestinians women and children happening NOW and not stopping.

Anyone that turns his or her head away by not calling out Donald Trump the mass murderer is as guilty as him. Without Trump's approval, without all the weapons of mass destruction, without his support to put down any opposition against the genocide of the Palestinians, the stoppage of food, medicine and water to the Palestinians, this genocide cannot go on just because the savage Jews want to do it. The few millions of Jews did not have the resources and manpower, the military might and political clout to go on and kill millions of Palestinians and on the verge of the killing another 2 million in Gaza.

Trump is the man that is behind the genocide of the Palestinians. The Washington rogues are all behind Trump by allowing him to go on without any protest, all acting so innocent, that the Americans are not involved in the killing. And the whole of America is behind this killing, the greatest genocide on earth, in the modern history of mankind. It is so easy to stop it. But the Americans, yes, the evil Americans are behind the evil Donald Trump, in committing this crime against humanity.

And the big farce that Trump is a top candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize while being the main person behind the genocide. What happens to calling a spade a spade? Anyone really think Donald Trump is not involved in the genocide of the Palestinians need to see a shrink.

Donald Trump is Satan incarnate. And no one dares to call him out. He is walking around like he is so innocent, nothing to do with him. It is a shame that all the Americans, claiming to be angels, protectors of human rights, human decency, would not lift a finger to stop this genocide. It is a shame to all human beans afraid to call out Donald Trump, the biggest devil alive today.

Donald Trump is the Devil, the mass murderer of Palestinians! This is American virtue, American justice, American rule of law. No, this is Satanic rule of law! Donald Trump and the Americans are the real devils today. Period. You cannot lie to all the people all the time.

Netanyahu is just a tool of Donald Trump, to do the killing for Donald Trump.

No one will trust Trump, not Kim, not Hamas

Hamas cannot be that naive to even suggest that it wants a guarantee from Trump to ensure the peace deal with Israel, which is genuinely going to end the war. Trump would be the last person on earth to honor agreements, even on paper. Why is Hamas digging a hole for itself so that it will fall into eventually?

We should remember the laughable promise by Trump in negotiations with Kim Jong Un years ago, where he promised that Kim will still be able to continue to rule North Korea if Kim takes the deal to totally de-nuclearize. I knew Kim would never trust Trump and it proved to be so. Kim Jong Un is not that stupid as Trump thinks, to believe in a trap set by Trump. This conman will never honor his words, and Kim knows it well enough.

Now, would Hamas really think that Trump will guarantee its survival or is instead making sure that Hamas is going to be destroyed one way or another at the hands of Israel, with the release of the remaining hostages the only pivotal point? Trump cannot even control Netanyahu. On the contrary he is under the control of Netanyahu instead, and his agenda is bringing about a temporary truce by hook or by crook, so that he can smell his Nobel Peace Prize. I do not believe that Hamas leaders are that stupid to even suggest being given such a baseless guarantee from Trump. Peace in the Middle East is just a mirage.
