US, “Whose Your Daddy” Bitch? China‡Russia, Master or Commander
US, which horse “riding you?” In 1979, US opened its Los Angeles Port to China. A year later, the Port of Long Beach too opened up. Who is the Whore and the Pimp?
Why has responsible party for pandemic not held accountable? Some point to China’s labs. Others point to US Intel agencies. It seems one of the two top polluting powers was willing and able. But who had the most to gain?
Not China. It is after all the World Factory. Shutdowns are disastrous economically. BUT are effective politically. Well, it sure did not help Trump’s reelection. Democrats, what’s your next move?
US remains focused on the life of China’ leader. Of course, it’s more interesting than that of “Sleepy Joe” or “Humpty Trumpy.” But why the sudden interest in Xi? Well, for starters it takes the focus away from the culprits that unleashed virus? Recall Cuba 50 years ago.
San Francisco Chronicle reported that “With at least the tacit backing of U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officials, operatives linked to anti-Castro terrorists introduced African swine fever virus into Cuba in 1971.”
Let’s call a spade a spade and a spie a spie.
China, your red flag symbolizes revolution along with its five representative stars. Confucius promotion was brilliant. Having learned Mandarin and Japanese studying the great intellectuals and philosophers across both China and Japans dynasties, it was to be expected. And let’s not forget the West IP laws, “possession is nine-tenths of the law.”
Russia, your Coat of Arms flag with a “silver horseman in a blue cape, mounted upon a silver horse” standing proud on your red flag may serve as a reminder of your successful campaign. From your “War Room” table with all the King’s Cyber Men and Hypersonic Horses makes you the Commander. And let’s not forget the International Space Station where you have eyes in the sky.
US, where once your flag stars represented the 50 states that joined your union, it’s become a sad reminder of a time long gone. Now, ocean fronts reflect your flag – red of sunbaked sand, white of waves, and blue of sea.
In the Patriotic War of 1812 or the Russian Campaign, armies faced unforgiving freezing terrain, “The horse was a crucial…factor in Russia’s defeat of Napoleon.” In essence, France’s defeat was attributed to how “Napoleon destroyed his army in 1812 in large part because of logistical failures” and climate temperature.
Over two hundred years later, US amassed an army and arsenal of defense but too has fallen victim to Russia and China. It not only ignored the hard lessons of Europe’s past, logistical failures and climate temperature, but as it hurriedly invested to survive, China patiently invested to expand. Russia, you may agree.
As the US continues to lick its wounds from military wars, China has only begun to savor the spoils of victory. Looks like their playbook strategy took a cue from Americans, “The best defense is a good offense” Yes, the student became the Master.
Still, whether you stand with a Socialist, Communist or Capitalist, you will do well not to cross each other’s paths. Leave that to the prime mover, the World Merchant and the Master Commander. 🙂
Unlike the princes of dessert storms where Kingdom Come, China is “the eye of the storm” in the waterfronts and belt roads. Path and direction chosen by nation leaders will determine the fate of their people.
“The Chinese have little respect for foreign trade. Your beggarly commerce ! was the language in which the mandarins of Pekin used to talk to Mr. De Lange, the Russian envoy, concerning it.” – Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
