Trump blames the Iran War...not himself for starting it

Now pushing all the blame for the loss to the Iran War, when it is a factor, but basically arising from all the botched policies of trade wars, tariff wars and tech wars that is causing all the problems in the USA.

Who started the war against Iran that spiked energy prices? Who started the trade war to decimate USA farmers and their livelihood? Who started the tariff war that forced USA consumers to bear the cost of those tariffs to decimate their cost of living? Who started the chips war that is going to decimate USA big tech going forward? It was all a self-inflicted damage. Make America Great Again must be a joke now for the MAGA supporters, lol.

All the blame should fall on Trump himself and his administration, especially Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnik and others. Vance is distancing himself from Trump now and an internal conflict is arising in the Republican camp. It would be better if it erupts into a civil war, with guns coming out blazing. Would that be a beautiful sight to behold? Better than a blockbuster from Hollywood.

Everything is unravelling for the Anglo-Saxon Whites, particularly the USA

Changing leaders every four years is a waste of time and resources - no long-term benefit for the people. New leaders like Trump are just taking down policies of predecessors which is the norm and putting up new policies to be taken down by the suceeding leader is also the norm.

The only thing unchanged in the USA is its foreign policy, which is cast in concrete inside the playbook of both parties under the Deep State, which is to be followed to the letter. And the playbook says make China, and everybody collapse so that the USA can always remain the sole superpower to bully them.

The USA had two weapons for achieving what it had since becoming a superpower, or at least the Anglo-Saxon Whites had already created that - keep countries in the Global South poor and dependent on the Anglo-Saxon White colonizers, so they would remain dependent, dormant and obedient. That has largely been achieved over the decades. The other weapon is its propaganda machine that no other country can counter, until now.

But the rise of China and the resurrection of a powerful Russia under Putin put paid to that ambition, and everything is unravelling for the Anglo-Saxon Whites, particularly the USA. Still, it is all hands to the deck to put down China with the Europeans doing it against Russia in Europe. Do not assume that the Europeans are not on the same wavelength as the USA. They are all in the family, having the same barbaric genes.

China is collapsing, Chinese economy is contracting, .... really?

The headline must have attracted a lot of the doomsayers and anti China army that finally China's miracle is coming to an end. The latest news today, China's trade surplus for 2026 has crossed the US$1 trillion mark. And we are still in November 2026, meaning the latest data is at most up to October, maybe September. What would the full year of 2026 be like?

Can a trade surplus of US$1 trillion be a bad thing, a sign of decline or collapse? Sure, sure, China is still struggling at 4.5% growth, so bad. By the way, how many countries have a 4.5% growth? Or how many developed countries have less than 2% growth but not in decline, not collapsing?

Oh, the American economy is doing very well, at 2% growth according to their massage numbers and the fake growth in the stock market. This is definitely better than China's 4.5% growth. And, shhh, don't tell anyone that America's inflation is at least 3%, meaning the net GDP growth is actually negative. But no need to take my word for it. Just believe in the congenital liar Trump. The American economy has never been better, the best in the world, the best in American history. 

Ok, Ok, then how much is America's trade surplus? Anyone knows, more than China's US$1 trillion? America is rising, America is great again. China is collapsing. Bring out the beers.

PS. 

The source of the news is official customs data released by China's General Administration of Customs. The Milestone: China's trade surplus reached US$1.04 trillion in the first 10 months of 2026, topping the US$1 trillion mark.

Oh,  from China, cannot be trusted. But CNA reported it on TV. CNA always do fact checks. So how?

India shall surrender to China on its border issues?

  This statement is a misnomer, a fallacy spread by the ignorant and mischievous white men.  India is sitting on Chinese lands, land stolen by the Brits from China during the dying days of the Qing Dynasty. The lands were never a part of India. China wants the lands back. India's claim on Chinese lands is illegitimate, no legal ground, using a very weak argument that it inherits whatever from the British India. British India was a fake construct of the British East India Company, not a country, not India today. The Sino Indian border lines were drawn up by a British clerk with no authority on such issues except under the British Empire. The British Empire is dead and gone. India is not the British Empire.  India is not an empire. Period. India at best is a pesky, arrogant and deluded neighbour to China.

Now, who in his right mind would agree that an English man from the Atlantic Ocean is the authority to draw lines to decide the borders of countries? India is relying on this flimsy piece of British colonial history to claim China's lands and arrogantly refuses to return them to China. India is saying, might is right. The British took it from China by force. Ok, maybe it should be settled by force. Is India up to it? 1962, China told India it could kick the Indians out whenever it wanted. China prefers to settle the border amicably by diplomacy, historical facts and common sense. The Indians think they carry a big stick, but crying to the Americans for help, kissing Trump's ass when China increase the pressure. Like it or not, China will take back its lands. 

The return of Chinese lands to China is only right and proper and good diplomacy and neighbourliness. By doing that, India is not surrendering to China, but honourably returning stolen lands to China. This is what a decent and respectable neighbour should do. But not India. As the saying, money inside India's pocket, never expect the Indians to cough it out, not a single cent. India will arrogantly and aggressively claim the Chinese lands as their land, because it was drawn by a British clerk during the heydays of the the British Empire.

If a British clerk can arbitrarily draw a line on a map and be recognised as the border between two countries, Professor Victor Gao said, China can also do the same, drawing a line along the Ganges River and claim the land north of that line belongs to China. China has all the historical records dating through several dynasties that South Tibet, the inhabitants were Tibetans, as part of China. There was no India to talk about until 1947 when the Brits created a new India by aggregating all their conquered and colonised lands of tribal chiefs and maharajahs.

India should stop behaving foolishly and arrogantly, unreasonably as a neighbour. Many neighbouring states of China have started to return lands that once belonged to China to China on a friendly basis. If India insists to claim Chinese lands as theirs, this issue will not end and will finally be decided by the use of force. India is no match to China in every single aspect. Stop dreaming that India and Indians are smarter than the Chinese and can win a war against China. It has been proven that boastful words meant nothing on the ground when war started. If this thinking is true, India will be the second most dynamic economy and competing with the Americans to be the largest economy in the world, not China. All the crap words and narratives are just that, hubris. China is not even looking at its rear mirror for India. Cannot be seen. Irrelevant. There is no comparison between China and India, a mismatch.

Even the Andaman and Nicobar Islands don't belong to India. They were seized by the British pirates and transferred administratively to India by the Brits. These should be independent island states. India claiming lands that used to be stolen lands under the British pirates, the colonialists, cannot hold on legal ground, no legal basis, unless might is right.

India does not need to surrender stolen lands to China. India shall honourably return the lands back to China as a sign of goodwill and good neighbourliness. The British Empire is dead and gone, and has returned many lands to their original owners, like returning lands to India and Pakistan, in Africa, in SE Asia, Hong Kong etc etc Stolen lands must be returned to their rightful owners.

Trump may imitate Superman, wears his underwear outside...and called himself Superman

I believe Trump does not need underwear, with pampers doing a good job. It still leaks and stinks, according to some social media watchdogs. It was said that he left stains on seats, lol. Of course, I do not pity those props that have to stand behind him breathing the polluted air.

Trump and his administration are now blaming the Iran War for his loss. I am surprised that he has not named China yet. Of course, he has to leave some room for his November meeting with Xi at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. But now the USA is floating the sanctions mantra against some Chinese companies for supplying weapons to Cuba, to project a position of strength I suppose before going to Shenzhen. It follows the same pattern as always. China must do the same with more USA companies supplying weapons to Ukraine and Israel, particularly in rare earth supplies to those inside their supply chains.

Now the war around the Strait of Hormuz is getting hot, with tankers on fire from Iranian strikes. I was visibly amused reading that piece by Trump earlier that he has cleared all the mines in the Persian Gulf, all mind you, probably during his sleepwalking session. What he cleared in the Persian Gulf are still being replenished, so what is the message supposed to achieve? Shipowners and insurers are not as dull of mind as rednecks and hillbillies swallowing Trump's vomit lock, stock and barrel. I guess that has gone out of fashion with his midterm loss indicating that some have woken up.

One thing I failed to understand is that oil prices are retreating despite the war erupting in the Middle East. Everything seems to be based on hype rather than reality. I rest my case.
