Of course the West had no problem when they dominated everything through force unlike with China. China got where it’s at despite the West working against China every step of the way. They think they treated China kindly… yeah when you needed China. Now that China doesn’t need their consent to do anything, they’re in a panic.
The West is experiencing now in a small fraction what it’s like to be in the position they put everyone else has been in dealing with a small fraction of the world in control of everything and they can’t take it. They’re not trying to negotiate what’s equitable and fair. They’re trying to retain what they’re losing that doesn’t belong to them in the first place. These people had nothing because their lands had nothing. That’s why they tried to takeover the world.
Supply chains were never talked about being vital before until now. Why? Because before they had no competitors in buying those resources from the world until China. What does it say where the rich West can’t simply outbid China for raw unrefined resources from around the world? Yeah there’s a big difference from getting what you need without paying much for it to now having to pay what it’s worth. That’s a shock to the system.
In a previous post I posted a video of Palmer Luckey claiming getting from zero to one is easy for the US while for China it’s a huge step. What’s more worse is the devastation of going from one to zero. Every time China is said to be leading in a certain industry, the West acts like a crime has been committed. When they're not the ones leading in anything, they're lost. China has been working from a position of not being in first place for a long time and look how China has been able to handle it compared to the West. They can't do what China has always been doing? That tells you how they have to be in absolute 100% in control of literally everything because that's the only way they can stack the deck in their favor. Without it they're nothing. The can't get anything without involving violence.
Now the West is talking about how China is the winner of the US/ Israel war on Iran despite China having nothing to do with it. They thought China was going to collapse without oil from the Gulf. Despite how the US claims to be energy independent, reports are the US has only something like six weeks of oil reserves left in its stock. After that Americans are going to experience major pain more than they’re experiencing now. How about the West negotiating to the world that all oil is only for them to use? That’s pretty much the same thing they’re complaining about China now. Of course the West cloaks it under the cover that they’re talking about the world in general when they’re only talking about for themselves only. Then look at India going along charging that China is holding "the world" back because it's not sharing their manufacturing capabilities. Yeah China is suppose to help India be a competitor against China like how embarrassingly Americans are forced to train their India replacements from outsourcing.
I'm seeing that the anti-Trump Westerners are all receiving their talking points to discuss. You're going to hear more and more about how the world is not only sick of the US but also China and they all are working to move away from them both. You may already heard of the new lingo of "the rise of the middle powers". That's a part of it. Translation... high and mighty Europeans who were stuck being subordinates of the US think they can lead the rest of the world, aka the countries with the strategic resources they need, that were moving towards China, into a new era for the world minus the US and China. Europe being Europe again thinking their romanticism will win the world over to them when they 're still facing the same problems when they were lackeys of the US. Where's the money they don't have to pay for the strategic resources they need? Oh they think everyone is just going to give it them for free because of who they are and when they think about it's just going give them warm fuzzy feelings for Europe and they'll just hand over what they need for nothing. But here's the thing. The Biden Democrats who okayed the genocide in Gaza are also repeating these talking points. So it means this is all a rouse to trick everyone back into the arms of the West. The Democrats see themselves regaining the White House. Why would they bad mouth the US under Trump when they followed the same goals since the first term.
I agree with you, but I do not see it the same way.
First, we define what is the West, and that is the United States and Western Europe. The United States is the boss, and Europe are just the corrupt aristocracy class. Europe is subordinate to the United States, and anyone else who thinks they are part of the West really is not important.
Now, the West has its problems, but they are different.
The Americans do not make anything anymore, and they are broke.
In Europe, their welfare state of life, is going to collapse. They are hoping that military Keynesian will revive the perks of being European, and their way of life. The absurd part is this was exactly how the USSR went kaput!
So it does not matter what they say in public, about themselves, about China, or about others. What they do not say is how they are going to solve their problems.
So, that is what I think on July 1st. Western competition versus China, will not collapse Western states. Internal problems will be something that drags down Western states.
The competition with China, can only accelerate this decline, but it is not the primary cause.
That is why, politically, it is all China's fault in the West, because it is too easy to scapegoat someone else for problems of their own making.
Right now, there is no way out.
Then China, continues to apply pressure, subtly, little by little.
Saw a picture of the J-36 or little 6 being refueled in air. Heh!
