The hammer is about to fall on Ukraine:

 

'One of the biggest surprises of the Ukraine war, is simply the lack of preparedness on part of the US. One would assume that if the foreign policy mandarins decided to “lock horns” with the world’s biggest nuclear superpower, they would have done the necessary planning and preparation to ensure success.

Clearly, that hasn’t happened. US policymakers seem surprised by the fact that the economic sanctions backfired and actually strengthened Russia’s economic situation. They also failed to anticipate that the vast majority of countries would not only ignore the sanctions but proactively explore options for “ditching the dollar” in their business transactions and in the sale of critical resources.

We see the same incompetence in the provision of lethal weapons to Ukraine. How do we explain the fact that the NATO nations have been frantically scraping the bottom of the barrel to find weapons for Ukraine? Did US leaders really start a war with Russia not knowing whether they had sufficient supplies of weapons and ammo to fight the enemy? That appears to be the case.

These aren’t trivial mistakes. The level of incompetence in the planning of this war is beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. It appears that all the preparation was focused on provoking a Russian invasion, not on the developments that would happen soon afterwards. What’s clear, is that the Pentagon never “gamed out” the actual war itself or the conflict as it is presently unfolding. Otherwise, how does one explain these glaring errors in judgement:

They never thought the sanctions would backfire
They never thought they’d run out of weapons and ammo
They never thought Russia’s oil receipts would skyrocket
They never thought that the majority of countries would maintain normal relations with Russia
They never figured they’d actually need a coherent military strategy for fighting a ground war in eastern Europe.
Is there anything they got right?

Not that we can see.

Let’s summarize:

The media is “overestimating the (effect of) Ukrainians’ regionally limited offensives”. In short, the Ukrainians are losing the war.

The Russians are winning the war. (“The Russians are clearly advancing. They will probably have completely conquered the Donbass before long.”)
Weapons alone will not change the outcome of the war. (“the martens and leopards are not enough.”)
There is no evidence that the west has clearly defined strategic objectives. (“Do you want to achieve a willingness to negotiate with the deliveries of the tanks? Do you want to reconquer Donbas or Crimea? Or do you want to defeat Russia completely? There is no realistic end state definition. And without an overall political and strategic concept, arms deliveries are pure militarism…Military operations must always be coupled with attempts to bring about political solutions.”)

Why US is in the predicament today, because the policy is in the hands of deranged fantasists. Does anyone seriously believe that the Ukrainian army will recover the territories in east Ukraine that have been annexed by Russia?

Bottom line: While Washington and its NATO allies do not have a coherent strategy for winning the war in Ukraine, it’s clear, the Russians do.

The stage is now set for a conventional ground war the likes of which no one in Washington ever anticipated. We expect that the outcome of this conflict will reshape Europe’s outdated security architecture and force a realignment that will mark the end of the unipolar era.

The Anglo-Saxon US /UK Lethal threat to Non-White countries especially to China. PART ONE

PART     ONE

 The Chinese Civilization and the Chinese people have since time immemorial hold the concept that "Throughout the Four Oceans and the four corners of the earth all men are brothers and everyone in this world must live in peace and harmony. The rich must always help the poor and the haves must always help the have nots."

But not so with the Westerners, the white men of Europe, especially the Anglo-Saxons of US, UK, Canada and Australia. The white men fallaciously claim that they are a superior race and by divine right they can lord over all non-white people. They cannot be more wrong as history has unravelled their most evil wicked deeds of massacre and genocide of natives of the Americas, Australia, Asia, Africa and New Zealand and God has now decided to punish them with retributions or Karma. Moreover they strongly subscribe to the Darwin governance  philosophy of survival of the fittest which is 'The Law of The Jungle" We see this in the most immoral and undemocratic one or two percent of the U.S.  elites controlling 98 percent of all the wealth, resources, lands and properties in their country while most of their millions of poor people live in squalid poverty of impoverishment and homelessness.

 For over 500 years the savage Europeans had abused and claimed that they were the chosen race of their Christian God who had empowered them to attack, invade, conquer and occupy all non-Christian lands and countries and to kill, massacre and genocide all natives of Asia, Africa, the Americas and Australia with impunity. During these over 500 years up to the present time they have been carrying out all kinds of atrocious, wanton and cruel diabolical deeds with impunity as they claimed they were sanctioned and empowered by their God. It is hardly from the truth as the true God will ensure they they would face terrible retributions for their brutal acts of killings, massacre and genocide of non-white people and their dispossession of the wealth, riches and resources of all the natives of their lost lands to the marauding savage white people. 

God has given the savage white men many chances to mend their evil ways but being recalcitrant they defied God and continue their wicked deeds to these days. It appears that God has decided evil white men must face retributions or Karma now. There are strong signs that either all or most white countries especially the Anglo-Saxons of US and UK are facing the wrath of God. The US is now a broken country with  irreconcilable severe internal strive, severe  racial divides and  conflicts, millions of homeless people, broken infrastructures, serious national bankruptcy in which its government is trying to shore it up with the printing of trillions of dollars of fiat currency with no back up with gold or other resources. In the meantime most European countries especially England and France are now facing more or less the same horrible and deplorable conditions as in the US.

But the white people especially the Anglo-Saxon Americans and the British are so recalcitrant that they insist on holding the whole world under white bondage of  their evil hegemony. Their satanic leaders in the corporate institutions, in politics in Washington and the Pentagon have openly declared that they will not allow any non-white country to rise up to become as rich and powerful as the U.S. So much so that they look at China's rise with jaundiced eyes and have set in motion plans to start a war with China to bring China down.

I have just received an email message from a netizen warning all Chinese people to beware of the desperate US intention to take down China and all Chinese people by all kinds of draconian means. The message is reproduced below. It is fairly long but it is important to read through thoroughly and to pass it on to every Chinese around the world.

The Message:

"ALL CHINESE TO TAKE HEED. LIKE IT OR NOT SOONER OR LATER IT WILL HAVE DIRECT OR INDIRECT EFFECTS ON ALL CHINESE."

The United States has launched a comprehensive over-the- limit struggle against China, and China has no choice but to completely defeat the United States! The 1.4 billion people in China must abandon all illusions and fully and actively prepare for the arrival of all possible and impossible situations. This is a strutural and irreconcilable contradiction between the East and the West, and it is bound to collide with all forces. It becomes a heated battle until the winner is decided! It is not China wants to compete, but the Americans want to compete. 

What is the ultimate goal of the United States towards China? An old man spoke out 32 years ago! Time: June 9, 1989, the fifth day after the Tiananmen riots on June 4!

Venue : Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee in Zhongnanhai, Beijing.

Content: Deng Xiaoping's remarks on the events in Tiananmen Square:

This matter can be seen at a glance, unequivocally, clearly, it is two purposes:

1. Down with the Communist Party, Down with Socialism! --- to overthrow the Central Government.

2. To establish a completely Western model of the so-called Federal Republic of China.

The Tiananmen Incident of June 4 was part of the "Color Revolution" instigated and funded by the United States - CIA and its NGOs, and the other half was the fact that there were indeed short-term problems such as corruption, privileges and the expansion of the gap between rich and poor in Chinese society just after the reform and opening up.

Mr Deng's eyes were like a torch, and he saw through it at a glance, and set the tone for it. Putting down the chaos is absolutely necessary and taken for granted! 

After more than 28 years, the U.S. President Trump started and launched a trade war against China, a technological war, and a biological and chemical weapon war. Development, in fact simply speaking is still the same as what Deng Xiaoping said, even if the CCP is not in power, the United States still wants to defeat and eliminate or disintegrate China. Deng Xiaoping's vision penetrates time and space, and he has already stated the true purpose of the United States!

Looking at the evolution and development of the situation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and even the United States and China and the new crown epidemic in recent years, it is indeed as Deng Xiaoping said that day: "This turmoil will come sooner or later. This is the international climate and China's own microclimate. When such a thing happens, it doesn't depend on people's awareness. No matter how you do things, it will still happen. It's just a matter of time, big or small. "The same is true for the U.S.-China confrontation. To stop China is to lose ten thousand dollars, no matter who is in power in China and regardless of whether China's political system changes. ( Russia is the current example, the world has no Soviet Union, has the United States let Russia go? ) The United States will still not hesitate. Everything must be done to defeat China, because this is the life and death struggle between U.S. hegemony and China. The Americans must decide whether to win or lose until one side surrenders and admits defeat. China has no choice but to "abandon illusions and prepare to fight to the death!" In all in the U.S. battlefield, Taiwan will be the the  watershed  between the U.S. and China in their struggle for hegemony! And the hands of the war clock will only go faster and faster! 

The situation facing mainland China is just like what Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, said: "The United States wants Huawei to die!" We have nowhere to go except "victory"! Don't be fooled by the so-called "democracy, freedom and human rights" slogans in the United States, Europe and the West. When did the suppression and control of the two countries ever let go? Perhaps Beijing is unwilling to expose the U.S. conspiracy behind the June 4 incident based on the principle of fighting without breaking. I am no longer afraid to open my belly and let the world see and know the ugliness of the United States! Anyway, they will kill you, so what scruples and reservations do you have?

Conclusion:

Even if the political system of China changes to the Western model in the future, and even is governed by the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, the ultimate goal of the United States is still to split China. To control China is a regime that is completely submissive to the United States, Europe and the West, and whether China Democratization has nothing to do with it all. All Chinese whether they are from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or overseas Chinese, it is time to abandon their illlusions . Only by fighting to the end can the Chinese have a way out!

The savage moronic and maniac satanic West led by the Anglo-Saxon U.S. is determined to impose a lethal threat to the survival of the Chinese people and Chinese Civilization and therefore every proud, respectable  and dignified Chinese must bear the utmost responsibility of helping to defeat and destroy the barbaric United States and its Western allies of savage hordes of mafia thugs and hooligans who are all psychopathic killers.

It is of paramount importance that this important message must be circulated to not only Chinese people but also to all non-white people and countries as the return of White imperialism led by the racist Anglo-Saxon Americans will eventually catch up with their destiny with even more dastardly and draconian system of wanton cruelty and dictatorship to force submission to their total control and hegemony.

Singapore's new Opt Out Culture - In Search of Mediocrity

Singapore

'Ugly' food gaining acceptance in Singapore but more education needed, businesses say

Singapore's workers should embrace broader definition of what counts as a good job: Lawrence Wong

Commentary: Businesses can attract more talent by looking at skills, not PSLE results and past salaries

Above are 3 headlines in CNA on lines. What is the common message? 

Accept blemished food, accept lower jobs, accept lower qualification? The Pioneer and Merdeka Generations were brought up with the message, In Search of Excellence'. We want the best, we want to be the best. And that was how Singapore excelled in many fields, the best workforce, the best economy, the most efficient nation, press a switch, everything works. Zero tolerance, zero defects, no mistakes etc etc.

What is happening today? In Search of Mediocrity? I admired people that are not choosy on food and willing to eat blemished food, simple food or little food, some out of necessity. There are many people that are trying to make ends meet, fallen into hard times. But this must not be the way to go. If we can get the best, we must go for the best. If not, the slide down the road to third world will become a reality, sooner or later.

If the spirit of a nation is to make do with half bakes, half baked measures, half baked ideas, half baked goals, anything also can, where would the country be heading to? What is the fuss all about in the AHTC case? Why dig and dig and never ending? In a tidak apa attitude, In Search of Mediocrity, the current SPH saga should be swept under the carpet with a tap on the wrist. Let's move on.

Why are Ministers paid in the millions? Because we want the best, mediocrity is not acceptable. We want to pay top dollars for the best, not monkeys, not mediocres.

A nation that thrives on the principle of accepting poor products, accepting poor quality goods, accepting poor results, is on a treacherous path down to the abyss. Living on poor quality, substandard goods, substandard workers, substandard qualifications must not be a matter of choice. This must be a matter of no choice, fallen into hard times. This must not be the desired way of life, like the freegans that chose to live on throw away foods. Even the foreign workers here would frown and protest when the food is not to their likings and would demand for better food.

Is Singapore going to throw away with all the top or best awards that it used to claim? The best airline, the best port, best worker, best university, best civil service, best city, best hotel....to be thrown into the rubbish bin?

Would you go to a doctor or dentist without the paper qualification to certify that he is proficient? Would you build a house with a few illiterate workers that can put some bricks together and lay some pipes and wires? Your grandma can be a better cook than some chefs on a few recipes. Would you hire the grandma to be the chefs in a 5 star hotel?

Why is there a drive towards accepting mediocrity? Thrift is a virtue. No wasting food is a good habit. But choosing to live on poor quality food or throw aways is another thing.

Aspiration, aspiring to be the best may be difficult to achieve. But getting half way there is always better than sliding down the slippery road into the longkangs or choosing to live in the longkangs.

The mess the Americans got into

Isn't that what the USA and Israel were and are always talking about Iran's Nuclear Programme and that it must be taken out early? And the USA was secretly also been revealed to be thinking of nuking China all along.

If Freedom of Expression is to apply, why can't China and Russia say the same thing about Japan? The hypocrisy of the USA and the West is really mind boggling.

Thankfully, that hypocrisy is now on full display in Washington over the sensitive documents kept by Biden when he was the Vice President under Obama. What difference is that compared to what Trump did? But I believe it is just show business inside the Empire of Lies, just to distract from the problems of the country, with nature's fury unleashed upon the evil empire's evil deeds and the fate of the US$ going forward.

The fall in inflation for November and December hides much of the problems besetting the USA, and the Fed is really now more targeted with saving the economy and the fate of the falling US$, rather than continue to keep inflation in check. Notice the hysteria of passing executive orders with huge incentives to attract global investments into the USA to prop up the economy, angering the EU countries, their closest allies. What is the USA's agenda can be read between the lines.

The currency of the rest of the world are now rising against the US$ and this is posing a big problem for the Fed. That many countries are getting smarter and now also raising interest rates negates what the USA is doing internally to strengthen the US$. Raising interest rates further in the USA is not going to help businesses and cost of living of its citizens. Notice the big job cuts of big banks, industries and other businesses. That means more jobless will soon join those already living on the streets. The signs are all there.

The Fed is basically caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. We shall see whether saving the economy and the US$ is more important than fighting inflation. I would bet on the former, as indicated by the fact that the USA Government had already been turning a blind eye in fighting homelessness, drug addiction and people living from pay check to pay check and holding two to three jobs to survive. That, by the way, is one way to look at forged job figures, and is good news for massaging jobless figures no doubt.

Why is the USA talking and making much ado about nothing about the debt ceiling, when all they always did was just raise it and continue to print more fiat money. But, they cannot kick the can much further down the road, and with countries not buying US treasuries, but instead selling them to support their own currencies, printing more US$ fiat money will inevitably cause inflation to escalate. What is happening now is just to keep a lid on that happening before the 2024 election, after which all hell will break lose.

World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Davos Freak Show

Don't panic; don't panic:

'The World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Davos Freak Show is back in business on Monday.'

The list of Davos attendees was duly leaked. Proverbially, it’s an Anglo-American Exceptionalist fun fest, complete with intel honchos such as the US Director of National Intelligence, Avril “Madam Torture” Haines; the head of MI6 Richard Moore; and FBI director Christopher Wray.

Rumors are that Lucifer, in his privileged underground abode, is green with envy.

Analyst Peter Koenig has developed a convincing thesis that the WEF, the WHO and NATO may be running some sort of sophisticated death cult. The Great Reset does mingle merrily with NATO’s agenda as agent provocateur, financer and weaponizer of the proxy Empire vs. Russia war in black hole Ukraine. NAKO – an acronym for North Atlantic Killing Organization – would be more appropriate in this case.

As Koenig summarizes it, “NATO enters any territory where the ‘conventional’ media lie-machine, and social engineering are failing or not completing their people-ordaining goals fast enough.”

Ferguson just wrote a column on Bloomberg titled “All is Not Quiet on the Eastern Front” – basically to peddle the risk of WWIII, on behalf of his masters, blaming of course “China as the arsenal of autocracy. There are two obvious problems with US strategy (…) The first is that if algorithmic weapons systems are the equivalent of tactical nuclear weapons, Putin may eventually be driven to using the latter, as he clearly lacks the former.

Ferguson clearly has no idea “algorithmic weapons” mean; if he’s referring to electronic warfare, the US may have been able to maintain superiority for a while in Ukraine, but that’s over.

Ferguson has “deduced” that Russia is weak and China is strong. Nonsense. Both are strong – and Russia is more advanced technologically than China in their advanced offensive and defensive missile development, and can beat the US in a nuclear war as Russian air space is sealed by layered defenses such as the S-400 all the way to the already tested S-500s and designed S-600s.

As far as semiconductor chips, the advantage that Taiwan has in chip manufacture is in mass production of the most advanced chips; but China and Russia can fabricate the chips necessary for military use, though not engage in mass commercial production. The US has an important advantage here commercially with Taiwan, but that’s not a military advantage.

Nobody with an IQ over room temperature will expect Davos next week to discuss any aspect of the NATO vs. Eurasia existential war seriously – not to mention propose diplomacy.

Earlier this year, an ultra high-value Pentagon asset had landed in Rome, in haste, as part of an unscheduled visit. It's a Mafia scam: a face-to-face “suggestion” for the Meloni government to imperatively provide Kiev, as soon as possible, with the costly anti-Samp-T missile system, developed by an European consortium, Eurosam, uniting MBDA Italy, MBDA France and Thales.
Rome will have to toe the line. Or else. After all, never forget the terminology employed by US generals to designate Sicily, and Italy as a whole: AMGOT (American government occupied territory).
