Imaginary truths no need fact checking

The shouting on rooftops about India being the biggest democracy in the world and its expanding population dividend to be reaped is fast becoming a sick joke. The West started the rooftop shouting, thinking this will unsettle China, with its falling population, and the Hindu fanatics began to believe that just the shouting will bring about the reality. That fake reality hit India like a ton of bricks right from the starting block. But the Hindu fanatics are still stuck in the Modi cult culture, unable to discern the difference between a mirage and reality.

As I said before, India must start to realize its vulnerabilities, accept it, refrain from making comparisons to others that are to no avail, change its mindset, temper its bloated ego, do the necessary changes before conditions get worse instead of better, instead of getting too embroiled in showboating to please the USA.

India must realize that the USA is just cultivating it for the purpose of countering China. Do the Indians honestly believe that the USA will allow India to become the next China? The USA had already said that it will not allow India to become the next China, loudly proclaimed in fact. No need to do fact checking. In reality, fact checking is all nonsense when a war against Iraq can be waged just using fabricated evidence that no MSM think it necessary and proper to do any fact check. Moreover, anything that comes out of Trump's motor mouth today is taken as the truth, without anybody having the audacity to do some fact checking before reporting it on MSM as trustworthy news.

American terrorists continue to countries with its exploitative doctrine to profit from destroy other economies

The USA and the West had already complained loudly that China is not playing by Western rules in its economic planning infrastructure. In other words, China is not allowing the West to exploit its economic vulnerabilities and let the West run riot to destroy its economy. Why should China follow USA and Western rules to give Western system a justification to gloat, when its own designed system with capitalist touch is usurping the democratic system of the West.

After all, China knows that this is the pre-occupation of the USA and the West to bring China down on its knees, using all efforts, from religion, to drugging, to trade wars, to tariff wars and now technology wars centering on AI and data centers and putting energy squeeze on China.

The West had been playing this game for decades, investing big money in exploitable countries and then suddenly pulling out investments when it is time to punish those countries for not toeing the line. The use of hedge funds to undermine a country's financial system is the usual modus operandi. Even the UK suffered such an episode under the hands of George Soros and Scott Bessant. We have also seen how they attacked Thailand's financial system bringing on the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997.

China refused to allow Hong Kong's financial system to be attacked by George Soros and Scott Bessant, resulting in Soros suffering losses that he is still leaking his wounds and harboring disdain against China. Elsewhere, we have seen the attempt to bring down India by concentrating attacks on its big conglomerates not too long ago. The USA has many ways to do that as rating agencies and big banks are all under its control and being used to carry out its agenda.

Vietnam had been targeted too not long ago and is probably still being targeted for being the big outsourcing destination for Chinese investments. Which is why Vietnam is treading a very careful path, knowing it is in the crosshairs of the ongoing geopolitical tussle between USA and China in South-East Asia.

It is all coming together. Every country is on Trump's menu

It is all coming together. USA forced the Europeans to buy its oil by sanctioning Russian oil sold at huge discount to Europe on top of destroying the Nord Stream pipelines.

USA attempted to cut off Russian oil sold to China by threatening to impose sanctions on China if China does not comply. China just showed the USA its middle finger. After all, sanctions are becoming a moot point if decoupling is already the mindset of the Chinese. All that the Chinese have to do is sell less and less to the USA and more and more to the Global South.

The Indians were also threatened from buying Russian oil and being caught with testicles entangled in seaweed. To add insult to injury, the Indians are now being told to buy USA oil stolen from Venezuela. The Indians were initially being warned to get permission to buy oil from Russia, for just one month only. With no bargaining chip, I think India will have to comply.

But let us wait and see, as the USA is not going to accept rupees for sure. So, with what is India going to pay for Venezuelan oil? That tells us that instead of following the de-dollarization agenda of BRICS, India is doing the exact opposite - helping to support the US$ hegemony.

Countries of the world see America is the number one threat to the world...NOT China

 

A 21 min clip on an international survey conducted in early 2026, America is the biggest threat to the world. 

'A comprehensive global survey found that people in most countries see the United States as the biggest threat to the world, and they prefer China over the US. Ben Norton analyzes the results of the Democracy Perception Index.'

This is a major international survey conducted by EU, not a boy scout survey of 200 individuals. 97 countries, 32,200 participated, not a few countries in SE Asia. Also, China is favourably ahead of the America in most of the countries conducted. The details of the survey are explained in the video clip.

Compare the findings of this survey against the findings of the survey by ISEAS and other ASEAN survey.

When AI and robotics rule the new world, politicians will be the laggards, stuck in the mud of mundane politics

 The brave new world is all about high tech, not chicken farms and soya bean farmers. The old world of ICE automobiles, of Excel and Spreadsheet, obscene prices of branded goods, labour unions, are slipping away rapidly. The factories of the future are here, run by AI and robotics, with barely any need for human labour. The path to progress and developments is science and technology, a futuristic world that will be unrecognisable in 20 or 30 years from now. Money and wealth will not be made from basic industries like food and drinks. They are the essentials, but will not make any big impact in the future world of tomorrow. How many packs of nasis lemak or chicken rice must be sold for the price of a piece of tiny high end chips? $3 a pack versus $100k a chip!

The politicians of today will still be the politicians of tomorrow, stuck in their silly world of politicking, preying on the basic instincts of hillbilly and redneck voters and their anachronistic values, thinking and way of life. The bickering, chest thumping and blood curling speeches to incite and churn the emotions of voters will continue to be the playbook of politicians. Politics and politicians will continue to live in their own fictional world, being left behind by the technological changes they cannot fathom and grasp and to adapt to. But they will always be surrounded by equally backward hillbillies and rednecks that believe in the magic of politicians' words and promises, to bring food on the table, to make their lives better, without the need to work for them, and to keep up with technologies and the sciences.

The real world will move on, divided between a brand of new people, engrossed and embedded in AI and new technologies and thriving in their sci fi world, versus the hillbillies, rednecks and the unproductive and outdated politicians that think the world is still the same old world, and politics is the only way to go forward to be rich and to prosper with speeches but doing nothing productive.

The divergence of politics from science and technology is not just the privilege of America, but is happening all over the world, with uneducated, unsophisticated and illiterate politicians in science and technology still thinking they are the leaders, the ones to lead their countries and people into the brave new futuristic world without anything new to offer. The emptiness in the head of antiquated politicians cannot match the data power of machines, AI and robotics and would likely to look silly and sillier everyday, and likely to be replaced by machines and humanoids.

Is there still a place for unproductive, unprogressive politicians that thrived on agitating the emotions of the masses but unable to offer them better solutions in the futuristic world with the masses continuing to look for freebies and handouts that these politicians cannot offer without embracing science and technology for real economic dividends, and clueless about science and technology?

The politicians will still think they can take from the hardworking citizens to give to their followers, leeches on the efforts of others, taking a free ride and can live well, without contributing or working for their own wellbeing, that doing the bare minimum will be good enough to survive and live well, like being gig and platform workers. Even oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE know that they have to continuously create wealth, generate wealth for their people, not sitting on their fat asses and demand to be paid for themselves and their followers like in many third world countries.

Trump is a good example of outdated politicians who believes in taking anything he wants without working for it. Just take by political power and military might. The victims will not resist as they do not have the will and military might to resist or to fight back. Really? The world of the past and the present, when ignoramus politicians sit on top of the pile, talking but not producing, and having the biggest bite of the cherry will not necessarily stay the same way in the future.
