Time for a rant.

If you ever knew a landlord in your life, then you know exactly why the rightist hate those Liberals and hate state intervention.

It is due to state intervention that we, er, I mean, those landlords, cannot evict some deadbeat or problem tenants in a timely manner.

State intervention stops business. State intervention is evil as far as I am concerned, and only necessary in extreme circumstances.

So this is my rant. Extreme circumstances happen a lot more than you think, so state intervention is a part of life.

However, state intervention, should never be a blanket policy, because most of the time, it is evil.

The only way to do state intervention, is on a case by case basis.

You know who agrees with me?

The communist Chinese, they agree with me.

In the news the last couple of days, the bankrupt property developer with crooked management Evergrande was ordered to liquidate their remaining assets by a Hong Kong court.

The obvious question, is how come Everagrande never got bailed out?

The CCP would not bail out Evergrande, as that would be moral hazard, and it is a not blanket policy. State intervention is still done on a case by case basis even with Marxist Leninist, along with the capitalist roaders in the CCP.

I don't think that Iran will sit back and accept destroying their naval assets calmly in 2024. Maybe 10-20 years ago they would, but not now. Probably some US expensive, precious military hardware sitting all over the region will be hit, as well as oil transit completely disturbed.

Their 10 times overpriced weapons are already either in permanent maintenance, as they don't have skilled workers, but new ones aren't coming quickly due to poor industrial strength. This will hit them hard and destroy even their last single-digit chances against China.

The US has very good oil production and could in theory do something against incoming inflation, but the EU will be even more doomed. But, who am I kidding, there is no way the US can control their private sectors, they will also drown in inflation probably, adding more chaos.

It's crazy watching the implosion of a 250-year-old American empire from both inside and outside in real time. These are truly some crazy times. I think there is an 80% chance this might even be US's last election. The inner social/financial divisions have also reached a boiling point.

It is even crazier to think that the Western 500-year-long domination over the world is about to end in just a few short years. People just aren't aware of what crazy times these are.

After the US collapses, NATO and the EU are gone too, because their only point of existence is to manage American overseas imperial assets easily; Without the US, they have no purpose nor should exist by natural laws of geopolitics. They will be gone in the first 24 hours as well.

Sign of collapse is there, likely less than 10 years. Not sure if happening this year though. Need stronger signs, like a form of financial collapse.

No doubt many folks here remember the tragic loss of civilian life that occurred when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over the Donbas in 2014.

Perhaps fewer are familiar with one of then-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's initial statements in response to that event. Abbott managed to pair a threat of personal violence towards Vladimir Putin with a memorable grammatical gaffe in a display that was both undignified and ridiculous:


(For clarity, "shirtfront" is a slang term from Australian rules football referring to a chest-on-chest collision that leaves the receiving player flat on the grass.)

Today, it has emerged that Tony Abbott's insouciance extended beyond a reckless disregard for both diplomatic norms and the English language. He wanted to send Australian troops into the Donbas to secure the crash site:

One major revelation of the episode, reported by the ABC before the broadcast, was a claim from former army chief Sir Angus Houston – then the special envoy to Ukraine – that Abbott had considered a deployment of Australian troops to the site of the MH17 plane disaster. The passenger plane was shot down near Ukraine’s border by Russian-backed separatists on 17 July 2014, with 27 Australians among the 298 casualties.

“I got a phone call four o’clock one morning. And it seemed to me it was going to be quite a large military deployment,” Houston said.

“I was concerned that the military option would be provocative, because the crash site was only a short distance from the Russian border, and already I was aware of a huge buildup of Russian forces on the border.”

Houston said he and Abbott had “a very sensible discussion about all the factors at play”, which Houston said ended with Abbott telling him: “OK, Angus, I accept your advice. It’ll be a police-led option.”

[Former Prime Minister Malcolm] Turnbull was scathing of Abbott’s demeanour, especially in regard to national security.

“He was talked out of it by our military leadership. Basically this was a thought bubble that was quickly punctured. But it showed, if you like, the elements of Tony that started to make me feel that we had a very dangerous prime minister,” Turnbull said.

Evergrande was kind of shady. But thus far I haven't heard of any major illegalities. They were caught flat footed when the conditions for access to credit changed. They had a quick growth strategy and went deep into debt. This happens in construction all the time. Construction companies going bankrupt during a downturn. It is very easy to overdo things.

Don't feel too bad about it anyway...

Sullivan is proof that being a child prodigy does not equate to good governance. Blinken and Nuland are proof that the Anglo Zionist Elites are governed by hereditary morons.
In any case, it sounds like a puff piece meant to groom Sullivan to become a future president Riff Raff from the Rocky Horro Picture Show. They also tried to groom Petreaus as an American ”Caesar“, if caesar had messed up in Iraq and sent spicy emails to his secret mistress.

Tell me one thing he has done right as National Security Advisor. One friggin thing that has not blown up in his face like a tactical nuke. He would’ve done less harm if he played Civilization 4 all day instead of any actual work. At least that will help him brush up on his diplomacy skills.

P.S. Scenario of China-Russia-Iran triumvirate, a scenario considered too pessimistic and fantastic by Brzeziniski, not only became a reality under Sullivan’s watch but somehow Saudis/UAE are joining in as well. Do you think the shit show in the Red Sea would’ve happened without the Saudi-Iranian rapproachment in 2023? How do you fuck things up that badly? How????

His first fuck up was trying to play tough with Tiger Yang and Wang Yi during the Alaska meeting.
