Know your enemy, and know yourself. Sun Tzu. The Art of War.
The Jewish governments of Israel, Ukraine and the USA started wars in Ukraine and the Middle East that they can neither finish nor win. Russia has defeated them in the West and China, Palestine faithful friend since Mao’s day, finally has the resources to free it from its Jewish yoke.
China
Imperialism fears China and the Arabs. Israel and Taiwan are bases of operation for Imperialism in Asia. They created Israel for the Arabs and Taiwan for us. They both have the same objective. Mao Zedong, 1965.
Xi Jinping understudied China’s greatest mediator, his father, whose advice informs his current campaign. Xi began by enriching MENA nations with ports, railways, communications, defensive systems and technological capacities that the West long denied them. Semiconductor manufacturing for the UAE; AI and IT and 5G hubs for the Saudis; smartphone manufacturing for Iran; satellite manufacturing for Egypt; nuclear power for the UAE.
Next, he united the Palestinian factions and the MENA governments–long considered impossible–and won UN membership for Palestine, which the West has blocked for generations. With diplomacy, technology, military might and five trillion dollars in foreign reserves, he has brought their united front a critical element they lacked, strategic patience, for time is on his side.
The West’s ruinously expensive wars, incompetent governments, loss of citizens’ trust, internal contradictions and policy errors have impoverished and divided them and are destroying not just their economies, but their social fabric. The final stake through their collective heart is Xi’s alternative to dollar trading, mBridge, which will launch January 1 and accelerate the dollar’s ongoing slide.
The Arabs
Arabic-speaking armies have been generally ineffective in the modern era. Egyptian regular forces did poorly against Yemeni irregulars in the 1960s. Syrians could only impose their will in Lebanon during the mid-1970s by the use of overwhelming weaponry and numbers. Iraqis showed ineptness against an Iranian military ripped apart by revolutionary turmoil in the 1980s and could not win a three-decades-long war against the Kurds. The Arab military performance on both sides of the 1990 Kuwait war was mediocre, and the Arabs have done poorly in nearly all the military confrontations with Israel. Why this unimpressive record? There are many factors—economic, ideological, technical—but perhaps the most important has to do with culture and certain societal attributes which inhibit Arabs from producing an effective military force. Why Arabs Lose Wars. US Army Col. Norvell B. De Atkine
Arab fighters are almost suicidally brave, but their impetuosity has cost them repeated victories. Now they are now killing Israel with a thousand cuts. Tiny Yemen chased the US Navy out of the Red Sea, brought down $200 million worth of American MQ-9 Reaper drones and shook Tel Aviv with its hypersonic missile. Hezbollah destroyed Israel’s intelligence headquarters and killed its chief and eighty of his staff. Hamas destroyed twelve Israeli regiments, attracted global support from the Ummah1, emboldened their cowardly MENA governments and attracted widespread support from honorable people everywhere.
The US: second-rate power
America’s lack of manufacturing capacity and its defeat in Ukraine–its fifth in recent memory–relegated it to second-rate status, behind Russia and China. Its support for Israel’s genocide rendered its claims to moral leadership ridiculous and Biden’s lawfare campaign and assassination attempts on his rival reduced it to the status of a banana republic. Washington’s debt load grows heavier each year: merely to keep its economy afloat, the Treasury must pay $1 trillion interest annually, refinance $7.5 trillion of existing debt and borrow another $4 trillion next year. Meanwhile, 150 countries in Xi’s BRICS currency union will start abandoning the toxic dollar in January, forcing US inflation up from 4.5% to 14% before year’s end. Its tired military, shrinking, geriatric navy and lack of missile defenses render threats to Great Powers like China and Russia–whose antimissile defenses are the world’s best–risible.
