Excuse me, but what part of what the Western governments are doing seem planned in the slightest? In the first place, none of them even believe in long term planning. But this year has show how bad they are at dealing with Trump. If anything, I think that these governments have shown just how useless they are, and overall how much of a lie the Western idea of democracy is.
i think this guy's analysis on grand strategy is pretty good. the big missing piece though is how the financial side fits into it all but considering how coordinated the movements are on the military side, the financial side is most likely just as competent. we know for certain more control than ever is at the disposal of western governments and the technological moat between patrician and pleb is ever widening so i think we really have to divorce ourselves from industrial revolution era frameworks on how it's all going to go down.

just because we don't understand what's going on doesn't mean nothing's going on. it's naive and dangerous to think we have all the information.

Car bomb explosion in Delhi near the Red Fort tourist attraction. Indian media is reporting up to 13 deaths as of now.

Based on how BJP India reacts to terrorism in the past, Pakistan has to prepare for a possible military situation with India soon.

India is banning Chinese-linked satellite services, ostensibly for national security purposes. Instead, they are switching to domestic and American satellite services.

India thinks that this is a power move against China. Good. Jai Hind!

At the same time as Trump announces a reduction in tariffs on India.

connect the dots: india sold out and will tie up pakistan on uncle sam's behalf.

Yeah, I don't find this convincing at all. If the Americans are doing this grand plan to confront China, then why have their main military actions this year been aimed at Yemen, Iran, and now Venezuvela? Sure, you're going to have think tanks come up with fancy ideas, but these are rarely acted upon, and are often unworkable to begin with. Hell, most political leaders barely even pay any attention to them.

In this particular example, I doubt that the US has some sort of strategy for blockading China. It may have been an effective move 15 years ago, but the time has long passed for that kind of thing. More importantly, while there are certain players in the US who are interested in a war against China, the key part of this strategy requires that China be seen as the aggressor. A blockade is already an act of war, so it just fit.

i think its convincing because they've followed rand's russia-ukraine playbook to the letter already.
argentina cancelled its chinese projects for 40 billion. venezuela is an absolute no brainer for choking off oil supply. nigeria has chinese projects as well. we just saw deals made with central asian states (kazakhstan is huge), leashes put on malaysia and who was it indonesia? aipac delegation sent to taiwan amidst increasing aggression from the eu to push taiwan recognition.

and you want to tell me this isn't a methodical encirclement taking place?
the operative word here is 'methodical.'
i cannot stress enough that the focus here is that there is every sign that america is still very much operating under intelligent control, that all the apparent idiocy of trump&co are distractions if not outright deception. watch what america does, not what america says.

I'm wondering what is backing Europe's sudden lashing out, it's uncharacteristic of them since they used to just listen to the US's dog whistle, or is it increasingly obvious to them that Europe is just going to be divided between China and the US.

A puppet show. Something like this.

According to Kevin Walmsley, China no longer has any need to export the rare earth materials to outside, as they themselves have high usage for these materials, as local demand in last two decades (due to high tech industary) alone outstrips the supply, so there is no need to export these materials to the rest of the world.
I already written here that current resource production not sufficient beyond few years anyway and OPEC kind alliance was presented to Saudis. this new approach of integrating tech into Soft Power.

So what's your solution? Or are you just venting about the "methodical and we'll thought out" planning of American ruling class?

Well yeah. It's all political theater to distract the masses. When blackrock or whatever big corporate make important decisions behind closed door, no one blinks an eye. But when a country or government does it, it's supposed to be all shocking or something? Do people really think these higher ups have are obligated to be transparent when we already have a national security clause?

The thing is whether or not China had planned for this accordingly by observing their action and strategic implications. That's what actually matters. You can execute whatever gameplay you want, but if your opponent prevent a lot of it from happening properly or has a direct counter to shut it out then you're in trouble.
