Evil Americans endless pretext for war...and being loved by the stupid Anglophiles in Asean

When Russia and China were not that friendly, and the USA and China were still not at loggerheads, Russia was the only major enemy that the USA vis a vis NATO was facing. Therefore, Russia had to remain the whipping boy for NATO to continue to exist. But the provocations against Russia went too far off tangent and that pushed Russia towards China. This was not part of the agenda, and the war-mongering game had now to be pivoted towards the South China Sea.

When China became a peer competitor thirty years ago, and seen to be teaming up with Russia, the game had to be changed. The USA had to pivot to contain China as well, hence the use of Taiwan and South China Sea issues were worked into its agenda on the pretext of claiming that China had been provoking others around the South China Sea. Was there a war going on between China and Taiwan or other Asian countries? South China Sea territorial disputes had been around for ages without much fanfare until the USA steps in.

Much effort had been made to pry apart the alliance between Russia and China ranging from economics to military issues. That has not succeeded thus far, and I believe China is not trying any more to musk its direct support for Russia economically, though not so apparent militarily like North Korea.

Had the USA succeeded to pry Russia away from China, Russia will probably be in NATO by now and the Ukraine War will thus be over. But Putin probably is too astute to fall into a trap once the China issue is settled. New issues will be created to make Russia into the proverbial punching bag once again, knowing that Russia can always rise to compete with the USA. The USA needs to create an enemy to be used to rally its doggies, cronies and allies to sustain its Military Industrial Complex.

To pivot to its new agenda, NATO has to find a way to expand its reach to Asia to confront China to ensure its relevance and continuity Do we now realize why NATO is expanding into Asia, setting up base in Japan? Think about that!

The USA has lost much influence in South America; too late to have any influence in Central Asia, now in the hands of Russia and China; has lost credibility in Africa after the fiasco of inviting African leaders to Washington by Joe Biden just for a photoshoot, and being given the cold shoulder and being promised chicken wings amounting to US$7 miserable millions each to develop digital infrastructure in all of Africa. Now, the USA has also lost ASEAN, with Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia joining BRICS. USA defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is now selling snake oil at the Shangri-la Hotel, trying to flog a dead horse by castigating China. Why repeat the mantra that the USA is not seeking a war with China when the obvious is about to happen?

American sure win wargames against China

 

This is a typical silly American wargame created to delude themselves about how powerful and clever they are against China in a war. The presumptions, China is alone, no friends, afraid to hit back, no military assets to hit back, and will be sitting there to be hit by the Americans and their cronies, including Mickey Mouse like the Philippines and Japan. And China would come out losing, many Chinese soldiers killed, Chinese warplanes, warships sunk, without them hitting back or defending themselves. Let the Americans flatter and lie to themselves that they would always win and China would always lose.

And Russia, North Korea, Iran etc would not join in, China would be fighting the Americans and all the Mickey Mouse alone.

Also, American cronies and Mickey Mouse would dare to attack China freely and win. The Americans would call the shot, escalating and provoking and China does not know how to react, would not dare to react, China is a passive punching bag.

The truth is in a real war, like the India Pakistan War, when China hits back with deadly weapons that the Americans and the West deluded themselves to be poorly made and inferior and cannot even fire a bullet.

When hostility is declared, China would declare the whole of western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea as No fly zones. The Americans and their cronies and Mickey Mouse think they can fly their warplanes and warships into the region without being hit, that China is afraid to hit back or has nothing to hit back, would not defend itself? Ask the Japanese to fire a shot at any Chinese ship or aircraft in real situation and see whether China will hit back. In the above wargame, the Japanese warships hit Chinese warships and China did not hit back. Is this real?  The moment the Japs fired at Chinese warships, they would be sunk immediately by the Chinese. The Americans may want to try to hit Chinese assets in the South China Sea and see if they can go back alive.

The Chinese know that the Americans and the West are preparing for war with China. China is also doing likewise. Be warned, you can hit China, China can hit back and with a bigger wallop. China is priming itself to hit back when the Americans or any Mickey Mouse dares to hit at China. The days when China would not hit back are over. China is ready for war with the Americans and the West. All the American military bases and installations are priority targets to be destroyed at the first instance. China would not wait to be attacked.

The boastful and cocky Indians had a first taste of China's prowess and deadly war machine, while thinking like the Americans, that China is a lame duck. The Indians are now clueless, where to get another fighter aircraft that can beat the Chinese when the Rafales are totally useless? India now has no answer to China's air superiority.

Shangri La Dialogue - Hegemonic America lying that China wants to be a hegemonic power

 An American gangster, Pete Hegseth, thinks that Asians are stupid and blatantly lied that China wanted to be a hegemonic power. The world's hegemon, the Evil American Empire, spreading lies that peaceful China wants to be like the evil American Empire. Where are the evidence? The American gangsters said so is the evidence?

Who is the real hegemon? Who started the Ukraine War to destroy Russia? Who started the trade and tariff war to bring down China? Who wants to take over Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama etc etc? China or the evil American Empire?

Who is in Africa to want to bring down Traore, to assassinate this African nationalist leader? America or China? Who is protecting Traore and defending him against the evil American Empire?

Who is building up more military bases in the Philippines to prepare to attack China? Only the brain dead would not see the truth. Only the silly Asian and Asean countries would volunteer to want to be duped by the American terrorists, did not want to see who is starting all the wars in the world, to bring down China and Russia.

Who is committing genocide with the Israelis against the Palestinians? China or America? And gangster Hegseth is telling the Asian and Asean states to join the American terrorists to contain China, to buy more weapons to fight China, not to contain the American hegemon, not to fight the evil American Empire. Look, China is the hegemon, not me, not America! America is here just to rule over you.

How many silly Asian and Asean leaders would blindly listen to this gangster and want to fight China, want to join the American terrorists and be bullied by the American terrorists, be sanctioned, be tariffed, and be threatened by the American gangsters? Are the Asian and Asean leaders that stupid, did not know who is the hegemon, who is bullying them, coercing them and threatening them, and ruling over them?

The American gangsters simply erect a strawman as the enemy and thinking that Asians and Asean people are stupid and cannot see through their lies. Caveat, there are many Anglophiles in Asia and Asean that think the white men are gods and the white gods can tell lies, can bully, can kill, and will bow to the white gods, without questioning whether the white gods are really the white devils.

Latest, this gangster Hegseth just insulted Singaporeans by comparing Lee Kuan Yew with clown Trump.

J10 C's order book full. China does not need to say anything

China knows, that is why China is prepared by building up its military capabilities. China is upping its defense spending to upgrade its naval fleet, its fighter jets, its drone technology, all seen as junks by the USA and the West anyway. No point arguing and as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
But they have now seen the Chinese J10c's performance in real aerial combat and now countries are making a beeline for Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. Why not when its planes are so much cheaper, better and deliver results. Some choose to believe in reality, while some are still stuck with fantasy. Let them find out the hard way.

The world has not been fed what the PLA is using and that is a good strategy for China, as the J10, the PL15 and the CM400 are all export versions of Chinese weapons. The aerial war between India and Pakistan also revealed the effectiveness of Pakistan's JF17 fighter jet, jointly developed by China and Pakistan and is not an aircraft to be sniffed at.

State of the art or not is not that important. What it can do is more material. In the words of the great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping - 'It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white cat, so long as it catches mice'.

Elon Musk the biggest loser in Trump's war with the world

 Elon Musk has moved away from Trump's administration, though still claiming to be one of his advisers. I thought Musk was telling the world he will now be concentrating 100% on Tesla. These two toddlers honestly cannot get together, each with different agendas.

Elon Musk lost big in his dabbling in Trump's political minefield. US$250 million support for Trump's campaign, plus Tesla's big fall is a big sacrifice for nothing. On top of that Musk had been caught in a cold war among the sycophants in Trump's administration. Oh no, that is a conspiracy theory, as there is no such thing as it is not disclosed by the MSM.

Trump's plan to shaft his tariffs down the throat of those not scampering quickly to Washington to kiss his arse clearly shows that many countries are just ignoring his call. Branding countries needing to negotiate as 'arse kissers' is putting off those still left with a little bit of self-respect in the eyes of the world. Only sycophants, ground crawlers and cronies have answered the call, and I think hardly more than half a handful. We can guess who those arse kissers are, don't we?

China expanding food production for self sufficiency. The West only thinks of robbing from others to feed themselves

The Trump administration is never able to think beyond what they see in front of their noses. Do they honestly have a plan for doing all those things they are setting out to do? Putting the cart before the horse is going to backfire badly against the USA, just like not having the manufacturing base set up yet to produce the consumer products, but already making use of those tariffs to keep out what it needs. Having to backtrack is a bad indication of unsound policies.
The USA is not the only country with high-ranking universities for foreign students. There are equally good high and moderately ranked universities in the UK, Europe, Australia, Japan and now in China as well.

I think Chinese universities would be the biggest beneficiary of the banning by USA of foreign students. Not only does China have hundreds of thousands of Chinese students now studying in the USA to cast its net, but it also has other global foreign students to attract. Did China foresee this action by the USA and had been building universities like no tomorrow? Just think about it.

University ranking bodies have been exposed by Kevin Walmsley for largely ignoring most of the cutting edged research papers written in the Chinese language by Chinese scientists and academics in the past and also at present, though they are realizing it now. This fact has been proven by the rapid development of Chinese innovation in many fields that the West had just ignored until today. For ignoring that, China has quietly surpassed the West in many sectors like EV technology, high-speed rails, bridge construction, space exploration, jet engines, clean energy adoption like building dams, solar energy fields and expanding agriculture and aquaculture.

China has reclaimed deserts to turn them into fertile land for expanding agriculture. China had already also invested much in aquaculture and producing fish on a scale that now baffles the world, not just offshore fish farms, but in desert regions by building huge infrastructures for rearing fish and other seafood, safe from nuclear contamination by Japan's Fukushima waste-water discharge. How the Chinese made use of saltish desert sands mixed with fresh water to produce artificial salt water to rear those fish is already mind boggling. Detractors can call that science fiction, but they should not have failed to notice China's success in many other fields. They are not science fiction just because they have not yet reached the level of Chinese innovation.

White colonial narrative, to pitch coloured nations against each other, and to continue to colonise them

 The most successful western narrative to control and rule the coloured people is to pit them against each other, believing that coloured people are their enemies and the white men are their friends. The Africans are always plotting against Africans, Arabs against Arabs, Muslims against Muslims, Asians against Asians, Latin Americans against Latin Americans, and the white men will be standing around watching them fight, seeing them hating each other, selling them weapons to kill each other,...and when they died and be weakened, their countries become dysfunctional, the white men will come in with aids, with strings attached, to laden them with unending debt traps, and to rule them without them knowing.

The ISEAS is still very proud of their silly little survey that Asean Anglophiles trust the Americans more than they trust China to dude the Asean public that China is enemy and American terrorists are friends. All the Asean countries, Arab and Muslim countries, African and Latin American countries were conquered, colonised, looted, massacred by the white men, ruled by the white men. And they still stupidly believe in the lies of white men, that their neighbours are going to invade and colonise them, when they had never done so. So they invited the white men to be their colonial masters willingly, to protect them but in reality to continue to colonise and rule over them.

The Africans are wakening up by the rise of a young and progressive leader in Traore who believed that Africa belongs to Africans and Africans must be ruled by Africans, not by traitors working for the white men. African countries are starting to drive out western military presence in their countries, take over their own resources, oil and gold mines. They are not going to listen to the lies of the white men. Stupid Asean people need to learn from the Africans. 

The Arab and Muslim states in the Middle East also know the true story. But many have been under the control of the white men, with white men's military bases in their countries to control them and to remove any of their leaders that wanted to be free from the control of the white men. Hundreds and thousands of African leaders have been killed by the white men for wanting to be free from the white men's control.

The Latin Americans have been quietly and steadily distancing themselves from the American terrorists, to free themselves from the oppression of the Americans. It is not easy. Panama just caved in and allowed the Americans to take over the Panama Canal. Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Puerto Rico and several of the islands are still colonised by the Americans. But those that could are breaking out. 

The most stupid of the lot are those in Asia, still believing that China is going to invade them like the white terrorists, to colonise them, and are asking and inviting the white terrorists to have military bases in their countries, to colonise them in the name of protecting them.

The agenda of Shangri La Dialogue is about China as the enemy to colonise Asia and South East Asia, not about American hegemony and Empire, with military bases in South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and in Asean, as the colonial power ruling over them. It is not about the daily massacre of the Palestinians by the Americans and the Israelis. It is about an imaginary enemy created by the Americans, called China, that is not involved in any occupation or wars of occupation anywhere in the world.

Stupidity has no cure. All the wars in the whole world are started by the American terrorists to control and rule the world. And the silly world chooses to listen to the American terrorists that China is the threat to them. And they want to fight China and inviting the American gangsters into their homes to lord over them, to threaten them, to rule over them. They cannot see who is their real enemy, who is making them to fight one another and not the real enemy, the American terrorists, now openly telling the world it wants a piece of Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, the Panama. And this is only the starters.

Trump's fantasy 'Golden Dome'

Trump announced plans for the "Golden Dome" system a week ago, saying it would eventually cost around US$175 billion and would be operational by the end of his term in 2029.

Experts say the scheme faces huge technical and political challenges, and could cost far more than he has estimated to achieve its goals....it would cost Canada US$61 billion to be part of the system, said Trump, who has repeatedly called for the US' northern neighbor to become the 51st state.  CNA

Everything to Trump is about making money. The F35 scam had drawn in many suckers into the scheme and made to pay and pay with the Americans cleverly throwing in problems after problems and needing more and more fundings. The sucker countries in the scheme must have dug a big hole in their pockets to pay the American manufacturers to patch up holes after holes of a trouble ridden aircraft.

Trump and his trillionaire gang came out with another trillion dollar scheme on a fictional AI infrastructure that needs hundreds of billions to help American students write essays. Unfortunately, China immediately threw in the DeepSeek to pull the rug under their feet. This trillion dollar scheme is now a non starter, but not before squeezing a few hundred billions from the Arabs, promising to sell this fiction to the rich Arabs.  No one in his right mind would want to spend hundreds of billions to be able to write good essays using AI, when they could do the same with a fraction of the cost.

Trump's latest scam, a Golden Dome, to cover the American continent. This is supposed to be impenetrable, better than the overhyped Israeli Iron Dome, because this one is made in gold, not iron. So it is going to cost dearly. The Americans would be buying all the golds in the market for this dome, and America would look like a super gigantic Muslim mosque with a golden dome over it.

For starter, Trump is throwing a number like US$175 billion, so much cheaper than the fictional AI infrastructure. So cheap cannot be good for sure. Must be full of holes. No amount of bragging can such a dome be built and be bullet proof. And even if Congress is crazy enough to approve it, like the Mexican Wall, the final cost would be at least 10 times or a 100 times more. Very likely it would be stillbirth, like the Mexican Wall.  Who is likely to profit from spending such a big sum of money? Trump is now more greedy than the MIC, after learning their recipe to rob from the American taxpayers that would ultimately be paying for it.

A French cap would likely do a better job than a Golden Dome for safety. Trump thinks the French in Canada would be salivating for his Golden Dome, forgetting that they have French caps in their drawers and willing to cough out US$61 billion to protect them from no one.

Russia has to remain the whipping boy to allow the existence of NATO

I was always wondering why Russia's attempt to join NATO did not succeed and I think I found out now the reason why, after watching some videos of Sebastian Sas on Youtube. There were other reasons propagated by many people and MSM all over the internet, some saying Russia did not apply to join after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and some claiming it was not politically convenient for NATO to include Russia.

In all honesty, what is going to happen if Russia were to be allowed to join NATO? NATO countries would not have any more reason to cry wolf against any Russian threat. They need Russia to continue to play the wolf by not allowing it to join NATO. Russia has to remain the whipping boy to allow the existence of NATO. Otherwise, what is NATO's existence for and why Europe needs protection from who else other than Russia? Would the dissolution of NATO then become obvious? It could not be allowed to happen.

Putin now knows it that NATO's posturing about calling for peace negotiations with Ukraine is just a masquerade to prolong the war in Ukraine for NATO to remain relevant and for the USA to remain in Europe. Peace in Ukraine realistically will be just as elusive as finding the Loch Nest Monster or Big Foot. But the show must go on and people like Emanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz (the new Chancellor of Germany), Kier Stamer and Ursula von der Leyen are just playing the same role as Boris Johnson the provocateur extra-ordinaire. Why would Putin want to play into the hands of these people, when the idea of peace is just not in their interest.

China knows the USA is out to destroy China

As if the USA is giving free subsidized education to foreigners, especially the Chinese students. The USA has been gaining huge monetary benefits from foreign students studying in the country. USA Universities depend on full tuition fees to survive. That is the direct benefit. The indirect benefits come from housing rentals, student spending on needs, transport, travelling and vacation holidays. All these supporting activities generate jobs that runs into hundreds of thousands. They are jobs needed for those unable to make ends meet by just holding one job.

I think complete de-coupling is no longer just a possibility, but a certainty for China with the USA. China must forget about dealing the status quo with the USA henceforth and concentrate on migrating its priority towards the Global South, where its future lies. No two ways about that. The USA cannot tolerate a multipolar world and wants to remain the sole superpower. China is the USA's peer competitor in every field. One mountain cannot contain two tigers, and fighting is inevitable.

It is perhaps a good sign that Trump is destroying the USA internally and externally as well, while China is expanding its influence globally. Who will rise and who will fall is still not certain.

India's desperate diplomatic blitz to demand the world calling India the victor in the India Pakistan War

I came across a tsunami of videos on Youtube claiming India shot down a few Pakistani jets, destroying Pakistani infrastructures, all culled from satellite images to support their claims. The same way Trump used a picture of a White farmer killed in Congo and claiming it happened in South Africa, trying to trap Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House. The whole world saw the attempted scam and that put Trump in a fix.

India is now on a desperate diplomatic blitz trying to sell its version of the outcome of the air war with Pakistan and yet at the same time asking the global community why no country seems to be supporting them in the air war against Pakistan. Why, I wonder? Neighbors are deserting India, distancing themselves after the bullying by India. How could they be supporting India after being bullied by it? Russia does not want to say much, being a close ally of China. India, after kissing the arse of its master, found itself facing humiliation by Trump claiming credit playing his fictitious part in the truce using the trade carrot, acting fast in accepting the fact that India's fighter jets have been shot down by Pakistan and Trump's warning to Apple not to invest further in India. The Indians are livid, after realizing they have been sidelined and humiliated in front of the whole world. Hence a diplomatic blitz is necessary.

Possible to have coups in Singapore?

 After 60 years of continuous PAP rule, the thought of a coup in Singapore is furthest from the minds of Singaporeans. Thinking of a coup in Singapore is a non starter, never a second needs to be wasted on such an idea. The transition of political power has gone through 4 PMs without a hitch, something of an envy to countries in Asean.

The closest moment to a coup in Singapore, if it could be called a coup, was the attempt to oust Lim Chee Onn as the Trade Union Chief, an appointee of then PM Lee Kuan Yew. Most Singaporeans would have no recollection of what happened then. The young would not have a clue. Only the seniors may still have a fleeting memory of events that happened, actually over a week, that shocked the Singapore political system. 

If I could recollect, it was front page news. Singaporeans woke up staring at the Straits Times, Lim Chee Onn, the Trade Union Chief, was corrupt. Chee Onn was not only a Trade Union Chief, but also carried a ministerial rank and was a key contender to be the next PM. The allegation of Chee Onn being involved in corruption was a challenge to the PAP, a challenge to the govt, and a challenge to LKY's leadership.

The smear on Chee Onn was carried over all the main media for a few days with clockwork precision. Chee Onn was as good as guilty without trial. No one spoke out on his behalf. He was all alone, voiceless and defenceless.  He was done.  LKY did not say a word. The political career of Chee Onn was as good as history, faced with a barrage of accusation in the media. The ousting of Chee Onn, a favourite of LKY and handpicked by him to head the Trade Union was a slap in LKY's face. It was audacious!

LKY then was still very much in control, young and full of fighting spirit. LKY was not a pushover. Bringing down Chee Onn could only be the beginning of something bigger. Strange things happened a few days later. The narrative of the main media changed, completely about turn. Chee Onn was innocent. Chee Onn was not corrupt. Chee Onn was a good man. Wow, what a dramatic change of tune. Who was calling the shot over the past few days against Chee Onn, and who was in defence of Chee Onn that shut down all the accusations? 

LKY was briefed and presented with all the facts on what Chee Onn did in the transferring of funds within NTUC corporations and there was nothing personal, not a cent went into his pocket. It was restructuring of NTUC's finances. This disclosure fell like a bomb shell. All his critics went mum. Not another word was heard from them. Chee Onn was cleansed from all the accusations and returned to office untarnished as NTUC Chief and retained his minister post.  The perpetrators of this plot faded away in silence, into oblivion. It was a close call.

Though the system remained intact, untainted by the allegation, Chee Onn was hurt. He was angry by the charges made against him by dunno who. No one knew, not reported. He subsequently quit politics. It was good fortune then that LKY was strong enough to rectify the wrong thrown at Chee Onn, and the spark of a potential coup was killed before it turned into a wildfire and likely to bring down the system with it. The aftermath, no one dares to play with fire again, not when LKY was around. LKY was angry, and this was enough to stop any adventurer to be mischievous in his watch.

Lawrence Wong is still new and not tested.  Would any pretenders dare to test him? Good that he has Hsien Loong watching his back for now. Would there be an attempt to do a Chee Onn on him? The future is not for us to see. Politics is politics.

Trump lying or cannot count?

According to reports, about 150 countries are now just ignoring Trump's arse kissing exercise and moving away from trade with the USA. Even Singapore has just seen a huge influx of ships calling, resulting in delays of a day and a half for clearance. Why is there a sudden upsurge in vessels calling around countries in the region instead of going to dock at empty ports around the USA? Think about it!

Trump is mad about countries not going to Washington to kiss his dirty arse. Most are not a silly as some cronies and allies rushing to Washington and getting the wrong end of the stick. So desperate is Trump that he is issuing notice of tariff going to be shafted down the throats of those countries not paying obeyance to his edit to go to Washington to do his arse kissing demand.

That brings me to the earlier gloating that 200 countries are already queuing up to negotiate with Trump. How come there are yet another 150 countries not in the queue? How many countries are there in the whole world? Not more than 195 that are inhabited by humans, and if taking out those exempted like the Vatican, Russia, Belarus and Cuba, the queue is longer than the number of countries in existence. Unless Trump takes in all those islands inhabited by penguins, seals, crabs and monkeys. Sorry, I do not know how many there are. Now Trump is issuing notice to humans, penguins, seals and monkeys that he is shafting his tariffs down their throats. Wonder what the monkeys will say. Monkey see, monkey do, LOL.

Stupid Modi...should have used F16s to bomb Pakistan on ground of fighting terrorism

That was how the USA lost the war in Afghanistan. F16s to fight the Taliban bearing small arms also failed to overcome them. The USA were then flying F16s all over Afghanistan trying to frighten the Taliban farmers but failed to cripple them. How to use F16s against more sophisticated weapons in the hands of the Pakistanis? Therefore, they have to be grounded in order not to lose face like the French.
But then, India claims the attack in Pahalgam was a terrorist attack. Why not allow India to use the F16s to fight the terrorist, a task the F16s were touted to be for? Illogical argument isn't it, to keep the F16s grounded. How is the USA going to spin the story if India is going to ask the difficult questions? India is very unhappy with the USA now over Trump taking credit for the truce between India and Pakistan, releasing the official claim of the jets shot down by Pakistan and Trump telling Apple not to have further investments in India. I think it is time for India to say enough is enough.

What Jeffrey Sachs warned India against playing the USA game is becoming true and if India does not heed the advice, too bad. The F16 sales were probably arm twisted by Trump during Modi's arse kissing attempt in Washington ahead of everyone else. It was supposed to be a move to cut the trade imbalance between India and USA and what else is more radical and effective than the sale of expensive weapons to India.

Now the Rafales are grounded and the F16 rendered impotent. And there is still talk of another war breaking out between Pakistan and India.

I like the analogy of the Native American Indians that if you see two fish fighting in a pool of water, look around and you will see a White man standing nearby, waiting to reap the benefits. Probably a fish meal, LOL.

China will benefit from Trump's war on the academia

Trump is at war with the USA. Now Trump is weaponizing higher education against the world. Fancy that?

Trump is now at war with foreign students studying in the USA, with Harvard setting the tone. This is going to cripple the USA in need of foreign talents and Trump is trying to lure back manufacturing of higher tech industries. Let us be very clear. Many of the cutting-edge innovations in the past were initiated by and attributed to foreign talents who studied and stayed back to help the USA's development. Just search back and you will see what I mean. Rocketry, nuclear weapons, semiconductors among a few others are just examples.

Trump's war on foreign students studying in USA is going to benefit China, Canada, Australia and Europe. Even Hong Kong is already jumping on the move to attract students in the face of the clampdown by Trump on foreign students. And Chinese universities are not just watching by the wayside.

Chinese universities are rising up the global rankings, with academics culled from those that left the USA in the face of ostracization and demonization. They benefitted Chinese universities more than what Beijing is hoping for. Why not? All readily trained, highly experienced and paid for to acquire their knowledge that the Chinese do not have to burden themselves with. Who is smart and who is dumb is clear for all to see.

Now, the exodus of academics and R & D personnel from USA universities will take on a new impetus. As foreign students are prevented from studying in USA universities, departments will probably have to be trimmed, academics will also be laid off, with some moving to China for sure. So let us enjoy the show of another session of foot shooting.

Dictator Trump NOT a dictator?

Fox news host confused over Trump's plan to jail Americans abroad

Brit Hume (pictured), 81, the network's Chief Political Analyst, said: 'I don't know what the president is talking about' after Trump appeared shocked and angry to hear about the Russian leader's latest airstrikes in Ukraine....

'... But I don't think Putin has changed, I don't know what the president is talking about. This is the way Putin has always been. He's always been a particularly brutal dictator, willing to take any measures he thought necessary to advance his interests. (Is Hume referring to Trump or Putin?)

Trump made a U-turn on his usual support for Putin when he appeared shocked and angry to hear that Russian airstrikes had killed at least a dozen people in Kyiv over the weekend. 'I don't know what the hell happened to Putin,' Trump told reporters on Sunday. 'I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all.'  

Trump wrote. 'He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Palestinian refugee camps, for no reason whatsoever.'  MSN

The above is a typical piece of crap coming from Fox News, calling Putin a dictator when the dictator is Trump in the White House. Yes, Trump will take any measures he thought necessary to advance his interests, like taking over Harvard University and in the process of taking over Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Putin did not do this kind of things.

And Trump is shock with the shelling in Ukraine, killing a handful of Ukrainians but not shock with Netanyahu, the war criminal, his best friend, massacring the Palestinians everyday, with a supposedly count of 50,000 but really could be in the 200,000. Not shocking? Netanyahu is hundreds of times more evil and dictatorial than Putin.

Would dictator Trump put a stop to the genocide in Gaza? Never, he is part of the gang killing the Palestinians and his reward, is a piece of Gaza for the Trump family to develop into a real estate for profit.

And many Anglophiles in ASEAN love and trust Trump and the Americans for massacring Muslims.

China's strategic partnership with the Muslim world

 The critical role of China in bringing about peace and cooperation among the Arab and Muslim states has an immense strategic impact on the rise of the Muslim world. After decades of being manipulated by the West in endless bickering and conflict between the Arab and Muslim states, today we are seeing peace and cooperation that was once thought impossible before. A stable and peaceful Arab and Muslim world would pave the way for more economic growth and development instead of wasteful fighting and loss of lives and turning many of them into dysfunctional states engineered by the Americans and the Israelis. For now, unless the Americans and Israelis manage to incite more enmity among the Arab and Muslim states, caveat, the Americans and Israelis did not go on a rampage to create a Greater Israel, there will be peace in the Middle East, except for Palestine. Palestine is as good as a lost cause.

Pakistan's fate is shining since the victory over India in the 4 day war. Not only that Pakistan came out on top, Pakistan's Air Force is given an added boost with the arrival of the 6th gen J35s, fast track to be in August 2025. The Pakistan Air Force would on paper be in possession of the most advanced stealth fighter jet with no competition in Asia. India would no longer be able to blow hot and cold at Pakistan, threatening to invade and wipe out Pakistan. Even if India were to acquire the dud F35s from the Americans, a big if, Pakistan has nothing to fear.  China is doing everything possible for Pakistan in a way similar to what the Americans are doing to Israel. Don't think the Americans would do the same for India.

As far as acquisition of advanced military weapons is concerned, many countries can only buy from the open shelves and getting the dated or leftovers that the Americans and the West were willing to spare, and mostly substandard with downgraded weapons that cannot harm the Americans or their allies. China is offering Pakistan the best available to defend itself against the best in the West. Pakistan is getting to deploy the J35s at the same time as China is deploying this aircraft to the PLA.

China is also taking a very active and positive role in supporting and protecting African countries under threats from the West, especially the Americans and the French. Traore and Burkina Faso would have been history if China, Russia, Turkey, Iran, North Korea and many others did not firmly back him up with financial, technology and military support. Supporting Traore and Burkina Faso is like supporting the flame of a new Africa, to be really free and independent from the colonial West. 

Burkina Faso's success and stability is a shining beacon of hope for the rest of Africa. One by one they are rallying behind Burkina Faso for an independent Africa. All the African puppets of Western powers would be taken down by the day. One by one would be overthrown by the Africans. The Africans are dead set on chasing out all the western military presence in Africa, to build an Africa for Africans.

Africa is rising as the next big centre of economic growth, caveat, they can survive the onslaught of the West to want to continue to rule over them. The American military Africa Command is not in Africa to make love with the Africans. It is there to rule over Africa. Africa cannot break free alone as militarily they are still no match for the combined forces of the West. This is not an easy war for Africa to win. 

The success of Africa and the Arab and Muslim world would add another two strong pillars in the new multipolar world. BRICS and the Global South need Africa and the Muslim Arab world as much as the latter two needed them to create a better and more equitable world for tomorrow.

China is now ready to stand up for Africa, for the Muslim world and the Global South against western Imperialism and colonialism.

France all out to topple Traore with help from African traitors

France is now caught up in a weapons smuggling attempt into Burkina Faso to be used against the regime of Ibrahim Traore. If what is revealed is indeed true, those weapons were reported to be procured on the instructions of Paris, agreed upon by Washington and former ministers and military leaders of Burkina Faso.

Altogether 47 truckloads of weapons were reported to have been seized, enough to equip an army to fight a war. The convoy was touted to be carrying humanitarian aid. However, the movement of the convoy late at night was suspicious and carefully monitored. Why was movement of humanitarian aid not carried out during the day? The route taken was also not ordinary. Somebody is now trying to start a civil war inside Burkina Faso after failing to assassinate Ibrahim Traore a couple of times. It does not need a rocket scientist to figure out who was involved and who had tried to assassinate Ibrahim Traore all along.

More raids are being carried out throughout the country and more weapons were found inside warehouses located all over the country.

Russia, China and North Korea have already been reported earlier during the Victory Day anniversary in Moscow to have agreed to provide security measures and personnel to support Ibrahim and any attempt to bring down his regime is getting less sustainable. This is the same scenario that we also saw earlier regarding Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, with the USA funding mercenaries to bring down his government.

Trump against Harvard and the whole wide world

According to sources, if true, that Trump's son, Baron Trump, could not gain entry into Harvard University, and Trump is just taking revenge against Harvard. I am apt to believe that this must be true, knowing Trump's state of mind. Why pick on Harvard of all universities? Trump's reasoning is probably that there are more than six thousand foreign students at Harvard, depriving his son of a place. Administration sycophants, USA universities, company and business leaders have to go with his whims and fancies or risk being targeted by him. This is the same mantra that the USA had used against the rest of the world - 'You are either with US or against US'.

Trump is losing both at home and abroad. Domestically, he is about to face the prospect of empty shelves at retail outlets and escalating prices that will decimate already economically distressed USA citizens. I am, of course, not talking about the top 10%, most of whom are Trump's cronies. While the superrich are going to enjoy a tax cut, the rest of the other 90% are going to pay the price in order to fund the trillions that are needed to fill the hole.

Trump's USA is getting more isolated globally, with China, Gulf countries (GCC) and ASEAN getting together now in Kuala Lumpur to forge a new direction. ASEAN used to be the playground of the USA in the past, but with countries like Indonesia, Thailand Malaysia and Vietnam having joined BRICS, the ground has shifted beyond recognition. These countries are not insignificant in their own rights. Indonesia is rich in natural resources, Malaysia is aiming to become a digital hub, while Thailand and Vietnam are great competitors on economic matters. Vietnam is also extremely rich in rare earth, which the USA has been eyeing for a long time, trying to be chummy with it but failing. Asians can smell the suffocating satanic sulphur from far away and knows what its agenda is.

Having said that, the Anglo-Saxon Whites are still a force to be reckoned with in their support for the USA. Despite all the differences on the surface, the EU will come to kiss Trump's arse when the time comes. The Whites have to gather all hand to the pump to prevent the collapse of the USA hegemony. The rest of the world must be clear about that, to quote the favorite phrase of the White House bimbo spokeswoman.

Palki Sharma and Karoline Leavitt - The best of India and USA

Both are immune to shame anyway. They have very thick skins that cannot feel the shame of lying day in and day out. Of course, when they are working for leaders with the same skin type, shame is an alien word and out of sync.

In Asian society, Palki Sharma is an oddity, where shame is not tolerated in Asian circles, certainly not in a female. In Japan, male leaders in politics or business even committed suicide rather than face the stigma of shame resulting from failures. Mr. Hunzi has lots of bones to pick with Palki Sharma over her shameless behavior. But she still ranks high as his propaganda Goddess, LOL.

As for Karoline Leavitt, she probably deserves an Oscar for her performance so far, making lying a state of the art in her deliverance. No one really comes close. I thought those White House spokespersons during Trump's first term were atrocious liars, but Karoline Leavitt honestly takes the cake hands down.

So, who is the super liar among the two? Yes, just among the two, because I could not find any other competitor that can even come close to these two in performance.
