I don't really wanna post this guy's channel since he literally admits he gets money making Jai Hinds angry.

But this video is from some Muslim born in China apparently. He said don't trust Iran. They have the same mentality as Russia or the West which is China cannot do what we do coz they ain't white like us. Always come up with excuses.

The only way to fight this mentality is having a Pan Zhanle or DeepSeek moment. Aka crushing them in it and forcing them to respect you.

Since this mentions China, I'll post it here. But it seems NYTimes editorial board has given the order to its journalists to start manufactering consent to liberal Americans of the benefits of the USA going to war with Iran.

I got to say, even 6 months into the Trump presidency liberals continue to have terrible optics. At the very least Republicans sell a message of holy war to its evangelical base. Democrats justifying the potential deaths of hundreds to even thousands of American soldiers, is that its worth it because it'll make China look bad, wow.
What I see is rather Trump bending the knee to the neoliberalist deep state, with NYT actively cheering him on. Many of the neoliberal elites do not care for optics, but rather what pleases Zionists. Keep in mind these were the same people that encouraged Bush to start the war in Iraq, and then supported Obama's regime change in Libya and Syria. China is just an excuse for them to level Iran.

How high should inflation be and how long should inflation be elevated "to inflate their debts away"?

It is the general principle we should be fully aware of, that as a creditor we want stable prices or deflation, and as a debtor we want inflation.

Suppose Sam wants to eat 5 oranges, so he borrows 5 oranges from Zusuki.

Later Sam repays Zusuki with 5 oranges so the debt is paid and they are even.

Suppose instead of borrowing 5 oranges from Zusuki, instead Sam borrows $5 bucks to buy the 5 oranges.

Sam eats the oranges, but a year later with inflation it now cost $5 bucks for only 3 oranges. Sam pays back Zusuki the $5 bucks, which buys a lot less now. In that sense, Sam repays his debt with worthless dollars compared to before. That is what we really got to know.

:)

Now in the real world, and especially in this case when we are talking about the Americans, it is more complex and there are various factors at play.

The Americans enjoy dollar hegemony.

Back in the Age of Imperialism, the top European power served as the leader and that country's currency was accepted as the reserve currency. That system of respect, cannot think of another word at the moment, was followed for several hundred years, and after World War 2, American being the top power, it was the US Dollar turn to be the reserve currency.

To make a long story short, in today's world, after Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard in 1971, the Americans can print their money to pay off their debts.

So fast forward to today, and that is where this story becomes really complicated.

1. The Americans want to preserve their dollar hegemony, because they can pay off debts or buy stuff simply by printing money, from the printing press.

2. However, if they do that, people will lose faith with the dollar as the reserve currency and sell off their debt. Remember the oranges? Because printing money causes inflation and inflation favours the debtor not the creditor like Zusuki.

3. What the Americans really want, is contradictory. They want to preserve dollar hegemony above all else, but they also want some debt relief. Haha! Not sure how can they pull that off.

Remember that whack Miron report, where there was this plan, and part of that plan was an idea of a 100 year US Treasury Bond that paid no interest and the Trump administration was going to force others to buy, such as the Japanese. Well, the problem there, was that was essentially asking for debt relief. That is no different than when some African country asks China, saying they cannot pay, please give us debt relief, the Chinese say sure, then they do the coffin dance in joy. Happens all the time.

:rolleyes:

Now here, is where the story gets even more complicated and interesting.

I was reading an article from Bloomberg, discussing why it was so hard for the US Congress to bring their government spending budget back down to pre-pandemic levels.

First thing it said, when looking at US Government expenses, that interest payments on the debt, is already at 23% of the total US budget.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All that means is that when the US government collects $4 bucks in taxes or gets $4 bucks from Jerome, immediately they got to give $1 dollar to the 1% for the bond interest payment, then distribute the remaining $3 bucks on the various spending programs for the unwashed masses.

Obviously, this is not so good.

So when we hear those words, "imbalances", or the twin deficits, the US trade deficit and the US budget deficit, that is what we are talking, those details.

Of course, these "imbalances", they blame on China, some people do.

The truth will set us free!

:p

a Palestinian state.

Now, Iran's expansionist mentality has already been curbed, which the Middle East, Europe, and maybe China like, but a pro-US tilt is dangerous for all of them. Just look at the map, the GCC, Turks (not only Turkey), and Pakistanis do not want to be caught in a vice by an alliance of Israel, Iran, India, and if Trump has his wish, Russia. China and the EU also don't want that.

China doesn't want obstructions from the only side it has almost complete freedom to operate in. There's disputes even with ASEAN in the South China Sea, but none with Pakistan or any other Stan for that matter.
Also, China's strategy since Mao is not to confront the US except through a buffer zone, like Korea & Vietnam. Now that the buffer extends all the way to the EU's border, the US wants to go for the weakest link; Iran. If Iran shifts orientation, Russia might start having second thoughts.

Do either China, the EU, or the countires in the middle who connect them want this? No.

The easiest way for all these actors to curb US designs is a less expansionist Iran & Israel. An Iranian deal plus a Palestinian state would achieve that.

Which is what the links above might indicate. If not possible, the EU will want a quick shock and awe vs Iran and then pivot to 2-state solution. Worst case for them is protracted conflict because it distracts from Ukraine.

Russia on the other hand totally wants a weak EU, and an Iran war would do it. But, Putin might not trust that a deal with Trump outlasts the next election. Also Russian ties with China are getting stronger over time. I think this explains Putin's hestiance.

As a final point,

either think they're next or that a falling Iran is really bad for them, and the GCC is without cover if that happens. Where would China be at the end of that chain? So all have zero incentive to let Iran completely fall.
The only alliance is between GCC-Russia and they are managing the decline of India, Iran and Israel etc. The key feature of sophisticated civilization is that they not show real intention and capabilities.

Call me old fashioned, but I do not believe that at all.

Who are the enemies of secular Liberals?

Damn religious freaks like the Ayatollahs.

If the Liberals come back into power in Iran, then their top priority is to suppress these religious fanatics. Fuck them and their god, you know.

Because we all know those religious fanatics of Iran if out of power, they will want it back.

What the CCP says, that speaks the truth. Terrorism. Radicalism. Extremism. That will not be tolerated.

That is why Iran is really messed up. The society is kind of extreme. In their viewpoints.

If the secular Liberals win back power in Iran, that would be good for Iran, and bad for terrorist in general.

Afghanistan used to be a modern society, and probably more advanced that China in terms of what the people had back in the day during the GPCR.

Then the religious people came.


This was Afghanistan, more 50 years ago, they were modern. That is unthinkable today.

Iran faces the same choice.

Iran thought of itself as rather modern too, because they were, then the political chaos started, which was no good in any way for them. For decades.

A modern state, such as Iran in the past, and Afghanistan in the past, will not sponsor terrorism, because they know the first target is themselves.
The video you posted are mainly Tajik and other minorities in Afghanistan. Soviet had influence regardless of King after that Friendship treaty. but if Soviet didnot exist than not only Afghanistan but practically all of Central Asia would have much larger population and more religious as Tsars had that islamic education for muslims and gave highest award to Emir of Bukhara. This alliance ultimately would have reached Arabian Gulf. This governing method is not that far off from Putin but he simply not have demographics yet.
