Prudent Defense Secretary does not talk about USA Defense Dept, classified or unclassified details to wife, brothers, family in ANY form of communication. It is not secure or unsecure communication issue. -

The Struggle for Supremacy: Can Trump Halt China’s Global Ascent?
sscc replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Nowadays the media talked much about China, China, China of course with reasons behind. You think every data and everything about CHINA Is unreal and faked and weak and bad, and quickly collapsing etc, then why even bother commenting on China as you think China is so weak and completely irrelevant to world economy and geo-politics ? You quoted or wrote something "BY Our estimate", that is absolutely rubbish. -
The Struggle for Supremacy: Can Trump Halt China’s Global Ascent?
sscc replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ten days after Trump tariff announcement on April 2, 2025, UK Financial Times published an articles : "Why China is well-positioned to weather Trump tariff war " It listed 3 reasons -- two about Trump tariff strategy, one about China. BTW, while you listed much argument on China weakness and deficiencies ( some are real, some are not ), you wrote Nothing about Trump and his "Yes Men" naive and childish way in formulating and implementing the tariff plan ( Economists and financials worldwide said so ). I suppose you dare not said any to counter your own narrative. This is what I called all one-sided and unbalanced view on the issue. -

Malaysia PM Anwar is very smart and intelligent. PM Anwar is probably the strongest leader among the ASEAN Countries. PM Anwar obviously sees Thaksin could be useful in helping on Myanmar issue, or else PM Anwar would not have traveled to Bangkok -
The Struggle for Supremacy: Can Trump Halt China’s Global Ascent?
sscc replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Trump picked the softest target -- Japan -- in starting the trade negotiation with multiple countries within 90 days. Can easily guess the terms imposed on Japan in order to reduce Japan tariff from 24% to whatever, 10% or even 0. *** Just do all the followings / Increase Japan holding of USA treasuries Bonds by very significant margin. / Increase Japan defense budget to X% of GDP ( 7% or higher please ) / Set up additional Japan tariff scheme against Chinese goods / Fund new investment to USA to finance Hollywood, USA auto industries, USA Space Industries etc, by at least trillion USD. / Restrict your export to China / / Eventually Japan to sign the "Surrender" document, and Minutes later Trump to declare MAGA ....... -
Chinese Factories Grapple with Uncertainty Amid U.S. Tariffs

China GDP growth in Jan-March 2025 quarter was reported 5.4% year-on-year. USA tariff war starts in second quarter 2025. China export to USA accounts for roughly 2.8% of total GDP. Will see how it goes. -

Biden 4-year weaponizes USD and SWIFT against Russia, and failed. Russia is standing OK. Trump 100-Day so far weaponizes Tariff against China and the rest, and still on-going. Trump intent at the beginning was using tariff to gain against every countries, so he put down 20% tariff on EU, 20+% on Japan, India, S Korea -- unexpected for these dozens countries. Eventually he ran into trouble, changed course to USA Vs China trade war. Undeniably that Trump and various "Yes men" under him had badly managed the tariff issue in the past two weeks. -
74% of Thais Expect Political Changes After Songkran: Poll
sscc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sounds like rather complicated survey. Furthermore, why is Songkran relevant ? Songkran on the title seems strange. -
Agree with you USA Deep State including industrial-military complex wants and needs war. Reality is more complex though. You suddenly forgot mentioning " Dotard Trump " Vs " Rocket Man Kim " in 2017 ? Was it the same Trump who did not manage to Face down and scare off a Junior, young Kim ? Russia and China combine to deal with Trump's USA. They are not so scared like Canada, Denmark etc.

I believe None of it. 1/ There had been absolutely Zero chance of Joe Biden voluntarily resign between Nov 5, 2024 and Jan 20, 2025 except physically collapsed or died. 2/ Harris team including this communication staff had never been smart. Even from Day 1 of Harris campaign, they did not understand the urgency to separate Harris and Biden --- blame Biden for all ills and allow Harris to set a new course. Pivotal move and changing course at certain moment is an essential in politics, she did not understand at all.

Be Real The Head count is of course credible. Not difficult about tally and adding all the arrival numbers. The Baht count is doubtful. Agenda hidden and Thai-Bashing foreigners are thinking otherwise.
