We've got to hit the Nazis, and hit them hard. World War Two was fought to remove the Nazis. And we'ill do it again if need be. We don't want this man's ideas coming back.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68833783 The above is from BBC News, came out about six hours ago. "The proposed law is set to deliver the much-delayed plan to send some asylum seekers to the east African nation. The two Houses of Parliament have been in a protracted stand-off over the final wording of the bill. The legislation had been expected to clear its final stages on Wednesday, but another vote is now expected on Monday." So, it's not certain to get through. I think all of us know that this whole Rwanda thing is not going to work. It's going to cost loads to deport each person. The Sunak government won't be in charge by Christmas or New Year. The chances of even one person being deported during Sunak's time are unlikely.

If India today was still a British Empire country, would the people of India be better off ? What about Hong Kong ? Would Hong Kong be better off today, if it was still a British Empire place ? But the important one is, is America. In my opinion, the Americans today would be better off if they had of kept on being part of Britain.

We've got to accept, whether we like it or not, Trump is going to win that election in November, later this year. He is.

Is it really the case that vast numbers of people have turned up in South East Asia, and become slaves ? These people flew long distances, thinking about a lucrative job ? I'm not saying the above story is made up, I just feel something is not right about the story. If organised crime wanted to get people, lock them inside buildings, force them to work, well, why bother to encourage people to fly from all over the world, to South East Asia ? How about go to anywhere in Thailand, look at whatever young tourist on a lonely road, attack him and abduct him ? Take him to a building, and have him locked up in a building, and force him to work ? Or indeed, young back-packer is in a tuk-tuk. Tuk-tuk takes him on a route that's not suppose to be. Stop tuk-tuk at a quite road, four men have been told to be there. And, oh look, young man is now abducted and locked in a building. That would be easier and simpler than luring somebody all the way from some other part of the world, surely ?

Sorry, the last bit of writing should have been "the continued destruction of the Argentine peso".

https://www.reuters.com/markets/argentina-markets-face-election-hangover-after-far-right-primary-bombshell-2023-08-14/ So, it was back in August this year, when Milei stunned the world by getting 30% of the vote at the primary election. From the above Reuters news, "Argentina's government devalued its currency by nearly 18% on Monday while the benchmark interest rate was raised by 21 percentage points to 118%, the central bank said, as financial markets reeled the day after a shock primary election result." This was back in August. And since then, the currency has carried on falling. Milei actually winning the election about a month ago really has seen the continied destruction the Argentine peso.

Hello. Argentina has had a messed up economy for decades now. Milei was high in the polls prior to the election, and speculators were getting ready for the currency to weaken. Milei then actually wins the election, and this has caused the currency to crash. People are not sure if Milei really is going to carry out the absurd ideas that he talked about during the run-up to the election. Right now, there are signs that some of the absurd ideas are going to be done. And hence, Argentina's currency has dropped considerably. Milei will probably not carry out all the absurd ideas he talked about, but still, he will carry out some. I make a prediction. I think the policies will not benefit Argentina. The collapsing Peso is not going to recover. Yes, now that the peso has collapsed, we might, might, see reasonable inflation in Argentina over the next few years. But we're also going to see a harsh recession because of the massive government cutbacks that are likely to take place. I hope my prediction does not come about, but I think it will.

And with Argentina's currency collapsing to almost zero, it might be cheaper for sex tourists to go to Argentina rather than South East Asia. Latin American women rather than East Asian types ? Yes, this is what Milei has done to his country. And to think, half of all people in Argentina are backing this man. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Look at the report. Washington left Afghanistan, the Taliban took Afghanistan back, and, oh look, poppy cultivation dropped 95%. Basically, US soldiers leaving Afghanistan was a Blessing in Disguise. Heroine is a deadly product. And here's you, trying to make it look like that heroine is not that dangerous. We, as people of planet earth, we must fight this war against heroine, opium, morphine. It really is a highly lethal product. Yes, fentanyl is also highly lethal. America is plagued by fentanyl, America has to stamp out fentanyl, anybody producing or selling fentanyl in America should be given life imprisonment or put on death row. But let's not pretend that heroine is not damgerous.

Racism from mainland Chinese ? Chinese in Hong Kong show just as much racism, or almost as much racism. The only reason they show less racism is because they've had more contact with the rest of the world, compared to mainland Chinese. And, Chinese in Hong Kong are more aware and careful when projecting a negative image to Americans and others. Mainland Chinese are more likely to think "so, we're annoying you with our actions and behaviour, it makes no difference to us " . Or, they simply don't realise people are being annoyed.

Yes, a reduction in America and Britain's manufacturing sector generates un-employment. But cheaper imported goods benefits everybody in America and Britain. And the new un-employed ? Reduce the number of cheaper migrant workers, have local people doing them jobs. And because a lot of them jobs are jobs that locals don't want to do, well, simple, bump up the wages. So, no more working in a factory. Bearing in mind a lot of the goods imported are basic low-value products. Like furniture (chairs, tables, beds, etc) and clothes (underwear, socks, t-shirts, etc) . And yes, mobile phones, flat-screen televisions, etc. People will be allowed to collect un-employment benefit, or get a job if they want to. And, oh look, nobody wants to be a hotel cleaner. But hotels will definitely still exist, hotels need cleaners, well, bump up the wages to encourage people to be hotel cleaners.

I've noticed your other posts on Asean Now, and I do think it's funny that you've put this up. Yes, ultimately, it's economics that drives world affairs. Kissenger is highly regarded by the Beijing government. It was Kissenger and Nixon who removed the barrier between America and China. Mao Zedong was still there when this happened. As you said, it's all about economics. It's good for America that trade exists between America and China. And good for China. Did Kissenger believe that economic growth in China would turn China into a democracy ? I don't think he did. I reckon that he knew that China is harmless. I reckon he knew that China is not wrong to have Tibet and the South China Sea. He felt that what goes on in China is basically, to do with China. He saw the massive economic benefits of huge trade between America and China. Benefits for both America and China. Above is a photo of Henry Kissenger and Xi Jinping. Kissenger visited China lots of times.

This race thing with the Royal family or any family is absurd. Look, if you refuse to work with whatever people because of their race or ethnicity, then yes, this is racist. It's wrong. If you don't like somebody because of their race, it's wrong. You give aggro to somebody because of their race, you're wrong. But if you only want to have sex with people in your own race, what's wrong about that ? Nothing. And if you're only willing to marry a woman who is the same race as you, you only want to produce kids with a woman who is in the same race as you, well. Well, surely you should be allowed to do that, and do it without criticism. And if you don't want to produce kids with people in whatever race or ethnic group, surely, that's your freedom of choice. And if you prefer to have your own children, or your own family members, to have sex and produce kids, and you're all going to be in the same race, well, what's wrong about that ? In my opinion, nothing. And if you want to have sex with people who are not in your race, or you want to have children with people who are not in your race, again, that's also okay. Just do what you want to do. Do I criticise any man who is having sex with a woman who is black, or partly black ? Off-course not. And do I criticise any man who would prefer his grandchildren to be in the exact same race as he is ? No I don't. It is his choice.

And if it was Washington backing the rebels, the rebels would be aligned with Washington. It's good that America has not backed the rebels, or any rebels at all. Washington usually makes the situation worse if it gets involved.

Hello there. You have to bear in mind that the organisers of the event didn't want him to be there. From the report (the organisers had) "been clear about their concerns that the man’s attendance, and that of those who were likely to accompany him, would cause fear for other participants. “The same view has been voiced by others. “As a result he was spoken to and warned on more than one occasion that his continued presence in the area was likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress to others. “He was directed to leave the area but refused to do so.”

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/tommy-robinson-sprayed-police-during-212238462.html So, back home in England, there was a protest against anti-Semitism. Tommy Robinson was there, but the organisers didn't actually want him there. Below is a newspaper photo of Tommy Robinson being arrested. The report says " Organisers Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “No thanks. The drunken far-right thugs who came to ‘protect the cenotaph’ on Armistice Day, some of whom shouted ‘Sieg Heil’ or hospitalised police officers, are most definitely not welcome.” " Six million Jews died in the Holocaust. They don't want people shouting 'Sieg Heil' at their event.

I did actually write on my post about the sensible reason that some people had, for voting for Brexit. Yes, the EU is the creation of a new nation, with a capital in Brussels. EU citizens vote, and put a government into Brussels. It is this government, that controls the EU. Most British people prefer British voters voting for a government that will be based in London, and that it will be this British government that controls Britain. You mentioned about "tax payers money being spent on Britain rather than other failing EU countries". Well yes, there was people really thinking that British tax payers money was being used to subsidise EU countries that were poor. In my opinion, that's not a sensible reason for, for voting for Brexit. The idea that richer EU nations subsidise the poorer ones has been exaggerated greatly. Britain's far better off economically, being in the EU, than being out. Rich EU nations that are giving tiny subsidies to poorer ones, well, the richer nations benefit far more by staying in the EU. This thing about using the word "coloureds". If you've been back home in England, or if you drink in bars in Pattaya, you will notice people using terms far more offensive that "coloureds". People make comments like "back home in Britain, a place full of P_k_s ". Some people on this forum have a problem with the word "coloureds", why's that ? Sometimes, because of this. A man is in Thailand, hasn't got a problem with Thai people, and thinks about taking his Thai girlfriend back home to Britain. He then realises that his Thai girfriend (or Philippines) is regarded as a coloured person. Yes, in the same way that West Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, etc, are also coloureds, when in Britain. Yes, we know about the hilarious story about the Australian bloke, he supported "Keep Australia White". But he had his Thai wife in Australia. Finally, Brexit and stopping coloureds entering Britain. Brexit was something that was not going to stop coloureds entering Britain. And indeed, as I said, it hasn't stopped coloureds entering Britain. But, it is the case that the guys behind Brexit used this issue to get people to vote for Brexit. Yes, tell people that Brexit will do this if it's voted for, but after it had been voted for, well, coloureds weren't stopped from entering Britain. Below is the picture used, just days prior to the vote back in 2016.

"don't pay enough to get those that want to work to do the jobs that are given to illegals." This bit I agree with. Let's look at Texas, USA. Rich people want cheap labour. A simplified picture is this. A man wants somebody to cut the grass in his back garden. He can get somebody who is born in America to cut this grass, or, a migrant worker, or illegal immigrant. He wants the cheapest option. Hence, the real reason why America is not carrying out a mass-deportation of illegals is because, the illegals are cheap labour. Forcing the lazy to work ? Well, I'm not in favour of cutting and reducing state benefits. But yes, reducing such benefits will force people into jobs. If the cheaper migrant labour was to disappear, well, it would force companies to pay higher wages. But that's not going to happen. Rich people and big companies have far greater power over government than poor or average workers. And yes, what's happening in Britain is a diluted version of what's happening in Texas, America.

The Dutch should be carefull, just because you voted for whatever stuff, that don't mean to say it's going to happen. Look at Britain. And whatever anybody says, Holland's not leaving the EU. And there isn't going to be a reduction of immigrants entering Holland. Let's all smirk, "did you really reckon that democracy is actually there, did you really reckon, whether your views are good or bad, did you reckon you'ill get things your way, even if you do make up a considerable percentage of the population ? " .

What on earth are we seeing ? The Dutch have voted for their new government, and there's speculation that Holland might do it's own version of Brexit. I really can't see Holland leaving the EU. And if Holland does do a Brexit, I reckon the people there should look at Britain. Britain did Brexit, something that I didn't support. One of the sensible reasons for voting for Brexit was, was that Britain did not want be part of a new, single European nation. People in Britain don't want to be governed by a building in Brussels, Belgium. But what was the biggest real reason for cheering on Brexit ? Simple, it was about reducing immigration. And in particular, reducing the number of coloureds entering Britain. So, what's actually happened ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67506641 The above is from the BBC. In 2022, a record high number of immigrants went into Britain. Brexit has basically reduced the number of EU people (as in Eastern Europeans, Eastern Europeans are white) entering into Britain, and. And it has increased the number of non-EU people entering Britain. Non-EU people, that's non-Eiropeans, that means coloureds from places like Africa, Middle East and Far East. And throw in Latin Americans, we're talking Brazil here. Yes, Britain has a housing crisis. Not enough new homes are being built. But Brexit has not helped the situation. Brexit has replaced a load of white Eastern Europeans with a bigger number of coloureds.

What's happening ? China is simply carrying out a diluted version of what America and Europe did to the Third World back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. As in, give out aid and loans with strings attached. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/sri-lanka-still-debt-restructuring-talks-with-creditors-2023-10-11/ Above is a link from Reuters. Yes, correct, China is the biggest single creditor nation to Sri Lanka. But let's look at the details. From the report, "Among bilateral creditors, Sri Lanka owed China $4.7 billion with debt to India standing at $1.74 billion. Japan, a part of the Paris Club group, was owed $2.68 billion. Sri Lanka has debt outstanding of $5.65 billion to the ADB and owed $3.88 billion to the World Bank." So, India and Japan are also countries who have given loans to Sri Lanka. ADB is the Asian Development Bank. By the way, the reason why the Beijing government can hand out such big loans is because of the giant trade surplus that China has with the USA.

You want to talk about how Burma/Myanmar is fully connected to China ? I suggest you look at a country that is next door to Myanmar, a country where the government has allowed a flood of Chinese tourists and Chinese manufactured goods to enter, a country that has allowed major infra-structure projects to be carried out by China, a country that the anti-China Brigade wants to call it a new name, the new name being "Chailand". The truth, for decades, the Myanmar government has carried out a policy of isolationism. The Myanmar government does not like Washington, and they also don't like Beijing. Hence, Myanmar has not been flooded by Chinese tourists, unlike Pattaya, Pattaya has been flooded with Chinese tourists. So, how comes Washington, during the last four decades, why has Washington not given weapons to whatever anti-government rebels in Myanmar ? You have to bear in mind the whole picture. Washington's track record in supporting whatever rebels in whatever country has been patchy or indeed, disastrous. Washington knows this. That's one reason why the US government has not got involved in Myanmar. Supporting (actually, creating and supporting) the Contras in Nicaragua back in the 1980s. Arming and traing the Mujahadeen rebels in Afghanistan against the Russia/Communist government in Kabul. Backing the rebels in Libya against Gaddafi in Libya, and backing and arming the rebels in Syria. By the way, Assad in Syria is still there. What does it all lead to ? Basically, a civil war in a country, and the civil war drags on. Would Myanmar today be a better place if the US government had of created and sponsored a civil war, going on for a decade ? Off-course not. What's another reason, as to why Washington has not armed whatever rebels in Myanmar ? Well, Washington understands that rebels should only be supported if they have a reasonable chance of success. In Myanmar's case, the government does have great strength. Actually, the cynics will say this. What if the Myanmar government does get removed ? All it means, is that, Myanmar becomes an action replay of Thailand. Yes, Myanmar becomes a country flooded with Chinese tourists and importing a mountain of Chinese goods. And why would Washington want that ? Well, Washington doesn't. Well, Washington is certainly not going to pay for, for Myanmar to become an almost Chinese economic colony.

I doubt this will happen. Beijing will not be interested in Myanmar breaking up into two separate bits. Beijing knows that causing Myanmar to split into different bits will weaken it's own position in keeping China as a single country. Beijing would much rather have Myanmar staying together as a single unit, and encourage lots of trade between Myanmar and China.

The important thing is, is that Beijing will not send any of it's soldiers into Myanmar. Chinese soldiers entering Myanmar and firing their bullets at people will be disastrous for China and America. And if we do see a new Myanmar government that is very friendly with China, America will likely step in. Washington will back whatever groups that are against a pro-Beijing Myanmar government. What is a pro-Beijing government ? This will be a government that will export lots of natural resources to China, and will allow a mountain of Chinese goods to be imported into Myanmar. As in, mobile phones, computer lap-tops, flat-screen tvs, etc, etc. And yes, a pro-Beijing Myanmar government will borrow money from China, and dish out big infra-structure contracts to Chinese companies. As in, railway lines, hydro-electric power stations, roads, etc, etc.
