India will keep on cheating stupid people and companies that volunteered to invest in India

When India keeps fouling up business deals and confiscating profits made by companies in India in the form of fines and taxes, who is going to believe Modi. Modi can talk until the cows come home, but nobody in his right mind will take the bait. Modi may be able to fool the Hindu fanatics at home with his cult culture, but that will never work outside India. That stage is over and gone. There is too much bad publicity about Indian tactics, which is why thousands of foreign companies have fled India, taking out hundreds of billions in investments.

Apple is facing a potential fine of US$38 billion in India, probably all the profits it ever made in India, over allegations of abusing its market dominance in the iPhone apps market. Tim Cook is going to be really cooked now, after placing so much emphasis on India being gloated as a new base being built up in the hope of taking the bulk of iPhone production from China. Let us watch the show, but Cook may not be around to take the shame.

Oh, lest I forget, Elon Musk is also not investing in a Tesla factory in India after years of speculation. Elon has seen enough of Indian tactics to risk diving into India. No sane business leaders will now even consider setting foot in India, the graveyard of companies.

Now. let us see whether Canada can be any different. Even if Mark Carney gets the magic hug from Modi, businesspeople in Canada will not necessarily take the plunge, as their pants are on the line.

The more Trump reveals his lunacy and vicious agenda in the Middle East and the world, the more isolated America will become

With the antics Trump is pulling against Iran, setting ultimatums and now saying he is in no hurry to forge a deal with Iran, is, I believe all just a front to buy time for the USA and Israel to rearm and regroup, while conducting sporadic attacks to show they still have weapons to carry out such attacks and to show Iran they still hold the upper hand while still conducting the negotiations. Let us see whether Iran takes the bait.

The Gulf States are on the way with plans to form its own defense co-operation instead of relying on the USA, which did not do its work of protecting them from Iran. This war against Iran is not the only USA failure of sorts. When Saudi Arabia was at war with Yemen, its oil installations were hit by crude Houthi rockets despite relying on highly expensive USA interceptors. After that, there were reports that Saudi Arabia had bought some Russian air defense interceptors instead to boost its defense capabilities.

Trump is now threatening to blow up Oman; I suppose again to the stone age like every other country that Trump cannot agree with, if it carries out its plan to side with Iran and together going to control the Strait of Hormuz. This shows that the Gulf States are no longer united with the USA's agenda.

Elsewhere, the USA is losing allies, with Norway, the ninth country moving away from the USA nuclear umbrella and joining France's nuclear umbrella instead, closing ranks with NATO Europe. The big tree heading NATO is falling and the monkeys are scattering. This is a clear indication that the USA is being isolated. Putin and Xi must be laughing. After all, Russia was the butt of jokes over total isolation at the start of the Ukraine War, but the reality says otherwise. Oh yes, he who laughs last laughs best.

It is a waste of time trying to educate those stupid brainwashed 'dull of mind' beings to wake up

It is a waste of time trying to educate those stupid brainwashed 'dull of mind' beings to wake up and to counter the USA propaganda machine. It is, of course, huge, widespread and deep seated to be countered but at least the world must be wise enough now to see through the smokescreen.

The North American Indians, from experience, told the world that the Whites spoke with 'forked tongues', but most of the 'dull of mind' still thinks what the Whites espoused is the truth and must be the absolute reality. It was a painful experience for the North American Indians, losing their land their ancestors left for them. But regret is too late and they had already succumbed to genocides to almost extinction. Let this not happen to the Iranians, a civilization itself in the boots of China. The Chinese civilization faced extinction over and over but rose to what it is today.

Elsewhere in the world, gullible morons still swallow up everything trotted out by the USA and the West. The irony is that they believed everything bad about China, but that is now unravelling from the experience of foreigners travelling, living and working in China. And the bigger irony is that these dull-minded swallowed everything trotted out by the USA and the West unquestionably. But the problem still remains that the USA propaganda machine is already embedded in most country's media and cannot extricate themselves having been too richly supported by the USA. Removing the unlimited printing of US$ allowing the USA to finance its propaganda machine is one way to do it - and that means de-dollarization.

The other warning from Henry Kissinger about being dangerous to be an enemy of the USA, but fatal to be its friend fell on deaf ears. Most morons listened with one ear and out the next. Such is the extent of the brainwashing success by the USA propaganda machine, having been able to accomplish this over the decades.

The biggest irony regarding the Lebanese and Iranians is falling again and again for the ceasefire fiasco, which are no more than allowing time for the USA and Israel to regroup, rearm and continue when they have run out of ammunition and weapons. Both terrorists talk about ceasefires but continue to launch attacks violating the ceasefire without consequences. When are the Lebanese and Iranians going to wise up without falling into the same ruse that have been going on for years?

Operation Kill Iranians and cripple the Arab and Muslim states

 The Iranians are not backing off, not deescalating. The Iranians did not want peace. The Iranian leaders are mad, deranged....The American allies must join the American and Israeli terrorists to stop this war, to open the Strait of Hormuz, to force Iran to surrender. For now the Americans must blockade the Hormuz, cannot let any ship through. 

These are the sick narratives of lunatic Trump and his clowns in Washington. Iran is the troublemaker, the one responsible for this war. Iran is the one that closed the Strait of Hormuz, not the American and Israeli terrorists.  How many people believe in these American and Israeli lies? The Europeans are not stupid to believe in these lies. White men will not be fooled by white men. White men can only fool and lie to coloured people and countries. If the white men in Europe or Japan believe in these American and Israeli lies, they would be the first to send their troops to support the Americans. They are not doing it unless they are coerced by the Americans to do so.

The less smart coloured countries and people are still believing all the lies of the American and Israeli terrorists. Just watch what came out from the capitals of the coloured countries, how they crafted their narratives in support of the American and Israeli terrorists and still pointing the fingers at Iran, condemning Iran instead of the American and Israeli terrorists.

Trump had asked Xi to pressure Iran to stop this war. What? Trump thinks Xi is stupid not to know who started this war, who is all out to kill the Iranians, to destabilise the Middle East, to cripple the Arab and Muslim states. Iran does not want this war, so are the Arabs and Muslim states. It is the American and Israeli terrorists that started this war, that wanted this war and wanted to wipe out the Iranians with the Arab and Muslim states as collateral damages. 

While calling for Iran to stop fighting, to surrender to the American and Israeli terrorists, both are replenishing their weapons and ammunitions and troops in preparation for a bigger attack against the Iranians, and to conquer the Arab and Muslim states to be ruled by the Israelis.

The message is simple and clear on how to end this war. Stop the American and Israeli terrorists from their attack against Iran. Tell the American terrorists to withdraw their military forces from the region. This will end the war immediately and the Strait of Hormuz will be open again, and oil and trade will flow freely through the Strait. Iran must not fall for the silly cheap trick of a ceasefire.

Stop the American and Israeli lies. They are the savages, their leaders are the deranged monsters that wanted to kill Iranians and destroy Iran and all the Arab and Muslim states. The devils are claiming to be angels, all dressed up to deceive and to kill Iranians, Arabs and Muslims. Trump and Netanyahu are war criminals, mass murderers. Period.

Shangri La Dialogue - China should not lend it credibility

BEIJING: Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun is set to skip the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore for the second year in a row, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Instead, China will send a lower-level People’s Liberation Army (PLA) delegation to Asia’s premier defence forum which will open on Friday (May 29) and continue until Sunday, the sources said.  CNA

China's Defence Minister Dong Jun is not at this dialogue. It is likely that China will no longer lend its credibility to an event that is Anglocentric and in a way designed to glorify the Americans and the West and to take potshots at China going forward. China must have known by now that the Dialogue is of little value to China, in effect, of negative value to China when even the language of delivery for the majority of the participants is English, that put China in a big disadvantage. More pertinent is the agenda and intent of the Dialogue, with the Americans and the West setting the tone and direction that are anything but unfriendly of hostile to China. China is the dart board for participants to throw darts at.

The Shangri La Dialogue is like a piece of the American system that controls the world, set the agenda and narrative for the world, a small part of the global financial and banking system, western gangster rules based order to reinforce western dominance and hegemony. Why should China be bothered with such a set up?

China now has its equivalent of the Shangri La Dialogue, the Beijing Xiangshan Forum. 'Initiated in 2006 by the China Association for Military Science, the Xiangshan Forum is a major international security and defense platform designed to rival the Western-dominated dialogue in Singapore.' Google News.

The mission of the Xiangshan Forum is quite similar to the Shangri La Dialogue, but with themes, terminologies, nuances and focus more from the China and Global South perspective, and interests in the Asia and Pacific Region. The narratives will be towards a future of multipolar world and NOT about American hegemony and western dominance. There will be no glorification for the American terrorists and western gangsterism but for a more balance, equal and just world for all nations based on international laws and international institutions, not American gangster rules based order.

The two events will be a part of the international features and will flourish with the rise of China and the fall of the American Empire. One is the baby of a rising superpower that shares and represents the Global South countries, and another supposedly the baby of Singapore, peddling to the interests of the evil American Empire.
