America is now the joke of the world

While Trump, his regime and the USA people want to treat China as a joke, the whole world is beginning to see USA as a bigger joke. The war on Iran has exposed the biggest joke about USA military power. Not that it had not been already exposed in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The irony is that the world does not see the woods from the trees regarding the fate of a falling superpower.

China giving visa free travel to foreign visitors is a masterstroke to let foreign visitors see and experience the real China and undo the brainwashing that they had been subjected to for decades. No amount of propaganda can win against experiencing the reality. Just the high-speed rail experience in China is enough to floor visitors, with high-speed rail stations overshadowing airports in their own country. Do they think those are a joke?

And the low cost of living is another shocking experience that foreign travelers have noticed while in China. The food available at supermarkets are cheap, eating out is cheap, transportation is cheap and above all homes, rental flats and hotels are cheap as well. Medical treatment in China is also cheaper and more efficient. For comparison of cost, each Chinese ambulance costs about US$60,000 each fully equipped and delivered in weeks. An ambulance made in USA cost about US$500,000 and takes three years to deliver. That is the extent of the greed inside a democracy that works for the top 1% to make more money at the expense of the bottom feeders. Do USA voters realized that they have landed on the wrong side of the bargain, paying for essential things that should be heavily subsidized. What has USA voters benefitted from having a right to vote but ended up being more heavily squeezed each time.

China's real economic growth versus American's money printing growth and Ponzi scheme in Wall Street

25 years of the collapse of China has not come to fruition. This must be the mother of all failed propaganda ever trotted out by the West. I guess, this mantra will be repeated for another 25 years to come. I do not think Gordon Chang will still be around to witness the collapse of China, or the rise of China to be the biggest economy of the world.

Never mind that China's GDP growth is now around 4.5% or whatever, but it is still double what the USA has achieved over the years. Real growth supported by real manufacturing and real exports resulting in ever growing surpluses does not lie. On the other hand, growth through money printing is hiding a very unpalatable truth pertaining to more money being used for round-tripping investments in order to give the impression of growth. A Ponzi scheme never ends well.

Countries are wising up realizing that the Ponzi scheme is going to unravel sooner or later. Treasury interest rates are pushed higher and higher, yet few takers are being enticed. The fall of the US$ does not compensate even with the increase in interest rates and the inherent risk of holding such investments. Coupled with the risk of seizures like the Russian assets, lessons are being learnt. Investments in gold and silver rather than treasuries are now more beneficial without the inherent risk. It is better to be safe than be sorry like the Russians and Iranians.

One old lady's prayer worth a thousand words

 Old lady praying in church. Dear Lord, you have taken away my favourite actor, my favourite actress, my favourite singer, my favourite comedian. Dear Lord, my favourite politician is Donald Trump. And my new favourite comedian is also Donald Trump.   PS. Got this story from an email.

When a politician becomes the joke of the day, or when he made himself the joker of the day, what does it say? What does it say when the President of the USA, a very important man, with very important tasks and duties to perform, spent his times playing the joker? Oops, Trump is not playing the joker, he is the joker. And he is more, he thinks he is the Pope, he thinks he is Jesus, he thinks he is a doctor. He did not think he is sick, senile, that he is a mass murderer. Oops, I used to wonder whaat the J stands for when Trump signed off as Donald J Trump. You guess it, it is Jesus! Donald Jesus Trump.

How many hundreds of thousands of Palestinians has he killed by allowing the Jews to do it with all the weapons he provided? How many Iranians has he killed by starting this senseless Operation to Kill Iranians? How many Arabs and Muslims has he killed as collateral damages? How many American boys and girls has he killed when they are sent to kill Iranians?

Nobody wants to know. Nobody thinks these are important questions. Nobody sees anything wrong with the killing of Iranians. Nobody thinks it is Trump that started this war, started the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody thinks it is against international law to bomb another country, to kill their people, to blow up ships in international waters. Everyone only thinks it is Iran's fault. Trump is blameless. Who dares to blame Donald Jesus Trump? It will be blasphemy.

Anyone bothers when Trump wants to mass murder all the Iranians? What is more important is opening of the Hormuz, and more importantly is Iranians to open it. Who cares if the American terrorists are closing it?

And what is making Americans so happy, forgetting about the killing of Iranians? It is making jokes about Trump and laughing themselves silly about these jokes. Americans are very serious about human rights, democrazy, principles, genocides when they are free and have nothing to amuse them. But these are not as important as making themselves merry with jokes and laughing themselves silly at Trump. Jokes are the most important thing in the lives of clueless Americans. One day they can protest with millions of people, the next day they will be looking for something else to humour themselves if they are not taking drugs.

Oops, there is only one sensible person in this world, the old lady praying in church. She may or may not have principles. But she cares about her favourite things.

China has no choice...the non aligned states have no choice

 The belief that the evil American Empire is a peace loving stabilising force in the world has been shattered to pieces. The brain dead and unthinking would still want to think so. But the American terrorists have torn off their mask and telling the brain dead and unthinking to stop being silly. The American terrorists are the real terrorists of the world and are terrorising every country, to remain the biggest bully in the world. Their war cry, kill, kill and kill. Get that! No, the brain dead and unthinking would still not want to believe that this is true. America is the blessed country. God is white and a white God will always support white supremacy, will kill all the coloured people to make America a great white Empire to rule the world of inferior coloured people that are mostly brain dead or unthinking.

There is absolutely no justification to attack Iran, to want to kill the Iranian people. This is mass murder, ethnic cleansing. The Iranians are just like any other coloured country, minding its own business and being another member of the International Community. Iran, like any country, has all the right to live and survive, to trade with any country, to have nuclear weapons if it chooses to. Who is America to decide that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons? In fact, the Ayatollah had forbid Iran from having nuclear weapons on religious ground and would not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. The evil Americans are lying and lying that Iran is going to have nuclear weapons and will use it to nuke America. Only the very dense and brain dead will believe in this lie. 

The frightening thing is that this lie will be used by the American terrorists to attack any country they like at their own time and choosing. The American terrorists can fabricated all kinds of silly lies to attack countries, in the name of national security and national interest. The American terrorists believe in absolute security, meaning they must have all the weapons of mass destruction, and no country can have them, so that they can dictate, bully and control the whole world.

Iran is in the list of 7 nations that the American terrorists wanted to destroy. And that is not the end. The rogue regime in Washington has been emboldened and wanted to take the whole world, to rule every ocean. Venezuela has been taken, Panama, Mexico, Bolivia, Canada, Greenland etc are all on the hit list. When Iran falls, all the Middle East countries will fall. Russia and China will be next. The war in Ukraine will continue when the American terrorists have freed themselves from the Middle East.

China's non interference and non involvement in other countries affairs will the an invitation for the American terrorists to invade China after the fall of Russia. The writing is on the wall. China either works with countries of the world, with Russia and Iran and others, to take on the American terrorists or have to face the American terrorists alone. 

Countries of the so called non aligned countries, not taking sides, will suffer the same fate. When China falls, there will be no luxury not to take sides. They will all be taken over by the evil American Empire and unable to say no and all the nice things about principles. The American terrorists intention is clear and a present danger to every country. You have no choice, either with us or against us. Stop being naive thinking that you can afford to stay neutral. You can do that now when China and Russia are in the way of the American terrorists. 

For those who love to be ruled by the white men, the choice is obvious. For those who value true independence, especially the coloured people, not to be oppressed and bullied by the white men, the choice is also obvious. This is the last chance to take sides. The window will close soon, for China and for the so called non aligned countries. Now there is still a choice. When Iran is down, Russia is down, there will be no more choices. The American terrorists will take over the world whether you like it or not. Some brain dead coloured countries are waiting for this day, to pray to the white Gods again.

The evil American Empire has made it a forced choice situation. The children will still think they can play both sides, we are neutral, we are not taking sides. Really?

Americans justifying their own lies with more lies

Commentary: Why the US military is stuck using US$1 million missiles against Iran’s US$20,000 drones

The US military doesn’t have a technology problem – it has a bureaucracy problem, says a former US Air Force officer.

OXFORD, Mississippi: It may sound hard to believe, but the almost trillion-dollar US military is struggling to fight cheap drones in its war with Iran.

Iran has built a simple drone, the Shahed, with a motorcycle-type engine, loaded it with explosives and successfully targeted its neighbours’ cities and power plants....

The drones cost between US$20,000 and US$50,000 to build. In response, the US military sometimes fires missiles worth more than US$1 million to shoot one down.

As a former US Air Force officer and now national security scholar, I believe that math is a problem: The US military for now has a US$1 million answer to a US$20,000 question. This math tells you almost everything you need to know about one of America’s biggest national security headaches.   Aaron Brynildson  CNA.  

This American national security scholar sees an American problem and explained it away with his own interpretation and understanding of the problem. The Americans cannot solve the problem because of bureaucracy, procedures and lengthy processes. These, he believes, are the real problems to resolving the math problem from an American scholar using the American way of thinking, everything so legalistic and systematic.

The big question, are slow processing the real problem, what is the real problem? For centuries, the American defence budget has been held at ransom by the Military Industrial Complex. It is a cash cow to fleece the Treasury and taxpayers' money to line the pockets of the weapons manufacturers and the generals. The MIC came out with a formula, it must be expensive to be good. And they keep on telling Washington and the Pentagon about building more and more expensive weapons and weapon systems to be the very best that the whole world cannot match, just like the trillions of dollars demanded by the AI craze. The more expensive the weapons are, the better they are. Just follow up with all the hypes and fictitious performance statistics to fool and confuse the daft senators and congressmen and women that they are paying for the best. And they needed all the best weapons systems to fight and subdue goat herdsmen in Afghanistan. No one wants to know the math on the cost effectiveness. And of course, the stars in Pentagon will be fully behind the MIC to demand for more expensive weapons systems. They all have vested interests to have the best and most expensive weapons. No need to explain why. 

And more wars are needed to keep the MIC fat. More expensive weapons must be used and dropped even on speedboats in the Caribbeans. Get the picture? The whole defence industry and the American armed forces is a scam. It is a money making machine. War is not about defence but about business, making money. No country is a threat to America. No country can threaten America. It is the American terrorists that are fabricating threats to start wars, to attack small little countries, to expend their expensive weapons that need to be replaced by more orders for the MIC.

The stars in the Pentagon cannot be that stupid not to know that using a $10m missiles to shoot at hot air balloon is silly. You don't need to know math to understand this. But they did it, not with one missile but several missiles. Follow the money trail.

For decades, the American were strutting around the world threatening the world with 11 carrier strike groups when not a single country can threaten America. Why need 11 carrier strike groups with hundreds of aircraft that cost tens of millions each? And an aircraft carrier needs to be protected with escort ships, destroyers, submarines, logistic support ships, etc etc, when the enemy countries did not have a single aircraft carrier, warship or aircraft that can match the Americans.

It is all about money for the MIC and you know who. This is the real reason. Some may believe in the American lies, raising scarecrows as targets to be conveniently shot down and be very happy with it. America will not build cheap weapons. Period. It must be expensive then it can be called good, just like university education. You want good education, you must pay dearly. The best talents coming to Singapore came from third world unknown village universities, cheap and good.

This myth was 'pitcha' by Pakistan using cheap Chinese J10Cs and cheap Chinese PL15 missiles to bring down expensive Rafales that cost 4 or 5 times a J10C. Expensive is not necessarily good. Expensive is good for someone's pocket, for some people to get rich.

For a start, stop the incestuous relationship between Pentagon and the MIC to end the rot.
