I do not swallow all the good news about Indonesia

I do not swallow all the good news about Indonesia. You need to peel away the surface to get the real answer. Indonesia is using the Indian modus operandi in its economic gymnastic, especially its GDP growth. Indonesia is following the Indian formula of seizing foreign investments when the occasion arises by changing the rules and amending laws.

The rupiah has fallen into unknown territory, just like India. Prabowo Subianto is telling the Indonesians that a falling rupiah does not affect most of Indonesia's poor because they do not use US$. Prabowo does not look capable of doing what the previous President, Joko Widodo, did in maintaining stability and managing relations with China and USA.

There is a perceptive change in the behavior of Prabowo, different from the one that rushed first to China atter his election and during the Chinese Military parade in September 2025. What caused the change, we do not know. The dark side has obviously got to him.

American war strategy is like going for a quickie. They cannot last longer than a few months

That extension again shows that TACO is still playing the same game with Iran. It shows that the USA is realistically short of ammunition and weapons. The situation is just resembling a case of 'just in time' supplies mentality practiced by manufacturing and retail entities. And those 'just in time' weapons are immediately expended in every hit and run attack to fool the Iranians and the world that the USA is still loaded with weapons and ammunition. The Iranians are obviously not fooled. They are gaining in confidence.

Sure, it could also mean that the USA is trying desperately to build up its weapons stockpile, exhausted over the first five months of the war and cannot afford a prolong attack on Iran. Using this modus operandi, how long can the USA hope to sustain itself in the Middle East? Far from home, cut off from logistical supplies obviously, with countries refraining from acting as supply bases for fear of Iranian retaliation, the reality is dire.

Iran has no such logistical inhibitions. The Perian Gulf is its backyard. Supplies are off the shelf. A civilization like Iran cannot fall in the face of carpet bombing alone, not to talk about sporadic bombing being carried out now and then. No country, intent on fighting back, has ever succumbed to carpet bombing and fell. The statistics are there. Vietnam was the de facto and perfect example. Not learning the lesson does not mean history is not going to repeat itself.

The world is changing. Geopolitics is no longer the dictate of the USA. Iran has shown the world how it fought this war despite its inferior naval and air capabilities. And China, Russia and North Korea are learning.

I love all the spinning about American sailors committing suicide

I love all the spinning. About those sailors committing suicide, they were just taking a dip in the waters to get away from the heat. With the sun beating down on steel plates of the hull, temperatures are definitely much higher than elsewhere. It is just common knowledge.

About the food shortage, oh well, the fact that the sailors are clogging up the sewage system shows that they are eating more than required and letting out more than normal, lol.

About the crews fighting among themselves, they are just doing exercises, after all the time on board without much activity, just eating and shitting, lol. As for the casualties, that is just collateral damage or miscalculation.

The fact that the Abraham Lincoln is being withdrawn to be replaced by another aircraft carrier tells the whole story that is different from all the spin.

Spinning makes one dizzy only, reality bites.

Americans are the most despicable, shameless, obnoxious, deplorable, savage people in the world

 Many silly Americans, including many fake and pseudo intellectuals or scholars, and the many silly American women that go around bragging and boasting about good American behaviours, are now walking around naked like fools, when their pedophile, mass murderer, terrorist, pussy grabbing President is showing to the world how ugly, wild and how morally corrupt the Americans are. 

The Americans are violating all the rules and law of international relations and human decency, behaving like primitive savages, lawless gangsters and robbers, invading countries with lies and committing massacres and genocides all over the world.

Stop the pretence that the Americans are good decent people. No, you are not. The Americans are worse than animals. At least animals only kill to eat to survive. Stop lecturing to the world, you hypocrites, especially those in the Washington regime and the fake scholars of fake think tanks. They think, oops, they don't think, they lie and lie, frothing in their mouths like pedophiles looking at little children, and imbeciles with stale fabricated narratives of empty superiority and morality.

Every time the American terrorists, the fake scholars and imbeciles, open their mouths to lecture to the world, everyone laughs at them. No decent thinking individuals cannot see through the farce and bullshits of the American sickos strutting around pretending to be high thinking scholars and intellectuals. And the empty head women are the most ridiculous. They really think the Americans are angels and the rest of the world are fools who cannot see through their thin veil of deceit and emptiness.

Go to hell you silly Americans, cheap and low down things. The pariah Trump is the personification of everything evil and wicked of America today, a big lump of horse shit, smell everywhere. And all his sicko sidekicks think they are leaders that can go around telling the world what is best for the world. The drunkard Hegseth, every time he opens his filthy mouth, is a joke. He is calling the Iranians bad people, that the American terrorists go around killing bad people. The bad people are the American terrorists with Hegseth the baddest example, an empty head drunkard who did not know what he is saying all the time.

The world are looking at the silly American terrorists everyday, listen and watching what the clowns in Washington are misbehaving. You cannot go on lying anymore. The Americans are a laughing stock in the whole world, the most sinful and wicked animals today. You still want to lecture to the world about goodness and good behaviours? Go to hell you shameful savages!

How many more people are you going to kill, how many more countries are you going to invade, how many more countries are you going to rob and plunder?

The violent occupation of Palestinian land continues in broad daylight...and the world looks on in silence

 ‘Don’t come out, you’ll be killed’: Palestinians recount Israeli settler violence in West Bank

RT has talked to the residents of a besieged village as the IDF fails to bring the situation under controlPublished 14 Aug, 2026 15:27 | Updated 14 Aug, 2026 16:30

Palestinian residents of the West Bank village of Qusra have been ordered to leave their homes after a days-long siege and repeated attacks by Israeli settlers, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declaring the area a closed military zone in what it claims is a move to protect civilians.

In an interview with RT’s Charlotte Dubenskij, Han Abdul Karim Hassan, a besieged Palestinian resident of Qusra, said the IDF declared the village a military zone after days of enabling terror by the settlers.  RT

The genocide of Palestinians continues. The robbing of their land continues. And the world is very busy looking elsewhere. The UN is as usual, pretending not to know. The western media too did not want to know, did not want to report about it. The naked aggression against the poor and hapless Palestinians is now a new normal. The Palestinians are in no position to fight back against the world's number one and number two terrorist states, ie America and Israel.

And their Arab and Muslim brothers are busy partying and sleeping with the American and Israeli terrorists, showering them with money and praises for being the protectors of the Palestinians and Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East. 

What is real? What is hypocrisy? Talk, talk and talk. The American and Israeli terrorists just continue to massacre the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims and take their land whenever they pleased, at their own timing. Trump just declared he is taking over the Strait of Hormuz as part of the American territory.

What can the world do about it? Absolutely nothing, but in shock and awe and in resignation. Some American allies and cronies will sing in praise of deranged gangster Trump. 

Hallelujah! The Empire strikes back. The evil Empire is defending itself. The evil Empire that is meddling with all the countries of the world is saying they are fighting back because the world is meddling with their internal affairs. Can you believe that?

The world will be a better and peaceful place if it is taken over by the peace loving and non expansionist American and Israeli terrorists and ruled by them.
