a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. And a time to write code.
So much brain power out there and so little attention on Grin. The question is why?
It’s not like we have North Koreans fighting and dying in Europe. Or the fact that the Ompa Lumpa in the White house is going to throw Europe and East Asian countries under the China, Russia, North Korea and Iran alliance.
In 2012, I was talking to a Polish friend, and I asked her if she was not worried about Russians invading. She was somewhat dismissive, mentioned Nato is there, and we changed the subject.
I sent her this talk in early 2021, with the advice that she send it to her father and brother in law. I knew she was not going to watch it. I mentioned that the Polish analyst said he was concerned (if I remember correctly) that Poland will again be sold out.
Now, comes 2022 and Russia’s invasion, and she and her family are panicking. Her family is from Lublin, near the border with Ukraine. Parents have no passport and are scrambling to get one. They were going to stay with her in another European country, to live in a one bed flat.
Mind you, this is a very intelligent woman. She was a trainee surgeon, now working as a surgeon. So, with repeated warnings from me over a decade, and advice to buy land and property in certain South American countries, the best they could muster was a rush for the door, no passports, to live in a one bed flat. Money was not an issue.
Now, here we are in 2025. The order that America and it’s European allies have tried to impose on the world has collapsed. Not collapsing, but has already collapsed.
The British, and the Americans after them, have had two main goals: contain and partition China. They have failed miserably.
"The February decision to bomb North Vietnam and the July approval of Phase I deployments make sense only if they are in support of a long-run United States policy to contain China.[25]
China—like Germany in 1917, like Germany in the West and Japan in the East in the late 30s, and like the USSR in 1947—looms as a major power threatening to undercut our importance and effectiveness in the world and, more remotely but more menacingly, to organize all of Asia against us."
America is now pulling back from the world, aka, retrenchment. The debate has been going on for decades. Looks like they win.
Trump is just a tool. He has been saying the same garbage since the 1980s. Every tool has it’s day.
Now, the tool is rattled. Likely acting the way he was expected. If the tool is rattled, it makes you wonder what the Americans are rattled about. He’s clearly seeing intelligence that has him very worried. The man is a snitch. In 2019, he got highly classified spy satellite images and he leaked them on Twitter.
It’s quite clear that the China containment policy has been abandoned/failed. So the question is, what’s going on? Did the Chinese give the go ahead for a Taiwan invasion? A move on Europe? …who knows, all I know is, the Americans are rattled. If the Americans are rattled, and you are not, heaven help you.
Just think what all the Chinese missiles and jets would do to US bases. Also, lets not forget the largest navy on earth.
