Bloomberg—Singapore PM Says Asean May Need to Choose Between U.S. and China:

Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned that Southeast Asian nations might be forced to choose between the U.S. and China, as concerns deepen about a Cold War-style conflict between the world’s two biggest economies.

“The circumstances may come where Asean will have to choose one or the other,” Lee said on Thursday night at the close of a regional summit hosted by the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations. “I hope it does not happen soon.”

Lee’s remarks reflect fears among smaller nations that the U.S.-China trade war could disrupt supply chain integration throughout Asia, leading to different sets of rules for operating with either powerhouse. Earlier this month, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warned of an “Economic Iron Curtain” dividing the world, if the two countries couldn’t reach a deal.

SnyderTalk Comment:

China has engaged in unfair trade practices and outright theft of U.S. intellectual property since Bill Clinton was president, and no U.S. president has been willing address the problem.

China is engaging in strong-arm trade tactics all over the world.  The countries being victimized don’t like it, but so far, they haven’t been willing to push back.

Prime Minister Loong is right.  Southeast Asian nations are caught in the middle.  They will be forced to choose sides unless this issue is resolved.  It can’t be resolved unless China is willing to make some changes.

Facts and Speculation

Fact: China, Russia, Iran, and other countries don’t like the dollar being the global reserve currency.  European countries are beginning to resent it, too.

Fact: U.S. citizens have no idea how much protection they have because the dollar is the global reserve currency.

Fact: When the dollar ceases to be the global reserve currency, inflation and interest rates in the U.S. will skyrocket until political leaders in the U.S. figure out how to navigate in uncharted waters.

Speculation: Solving the U.S.-China trade dispute may involve U.S. concessions on the dollar as the global reserve currency.  I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t.

Switching Gears

See “‘In Vino Veritas:’ Prominent BDS Leader Arrested After Drunken, Racist Rant Against Staff on Air India Flight”:

Amateur video of a prominent BDS leader and human rights lawyer engaging in a prolonged, racist rant against staff in the business class cabin of an Air India flight went viral on Thursday, as anxious fellow passengers relived their experience on social media.

The incident involving Simone O’Broin — a 50-year-old lawyer from Northern Ireland — took place last Saturday on a flight from Mumbai to London, and was sparked by the refusal of Air India cabin staff to serve her more alcohol. Already heavily inebriated and slurring her words, O’Broin stumbled to her feet and launched into an expletive-laden rant, at one point screaming directly in the face of a cabin steward.

Throughout her tirade, O’Broin emphasized her credentials as a “f**** leader of the [anti-Israel] boycott movement” and “f**** international criminal lawyer and barrister.”

“If I say ‘boycott” f***Air India,’ done,” she boasted.

Her alcohol-fueled anger quickly took a racist turn, as she accused the Indian staff of showing a lack of gratitude for her work in defense of Palestinian rights, and human rights more generally on the Asian continent.

“I work for all you f**** people… The f**** Rohingyas, the f**** people of all Asia, for you, I’m an international criminal lawyer,” O’Broin rampaged, in a reference to the largely Muslim minority in Myanmar that is currently undergoing a genocide.

“Don’t get any money for it by the way. But you won’t give me a f*** glass of wine, is that correct?” she continued.

Turning to her fellow business class passengers, O’Broin screamed, “I’m a human rights lawyer, for the f**** Palestinian people, and the rest of you, and you all sit on your f**** a****.”

I could have spent many hours trying to explain how evil the BDS movement is and how wicked the people behind it are and not have communicated nearly as effectively as Simone O’Broin did spontaneously on an Air India flight from Mumbai to London.

Don’t take my word for it.  Open the article and watch the videos.  They speak for themselves.

Ms. O’Broin, you don’t speak for me, and you don’t speak for decent people.  You speak for Satan.  You are doing his bidding.  I hope you don’t know that, but I suspect you do.

Memo to Decent People: Hell will be loaded with people like Simone O’Broin.  They won’t be ranting in hell.  They will have eternity to regret the way they lived their lives.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
