Trump with India Prime Minister Narendra Modi
at the 2018 G20 Meeting
One of my New Years resolutions for 2019 is to spend less time reading crap about domestic US politics. Actually, I've been tapering off on that puerile activity for some years now. It's like having an addiction to TV children's cartoons....lots of colour, activity and chases...but no substance and no relevance to what's actually going on in the world. The only cartoon I enjoy now is an occasional "Roadrunner" cartoon.... which is an exact metaphor for Putin/US relations. Putin plays the role of the Roadrunner.. and whichever Ziofascist puppet is in the "White House" plays Wile E. Coyote...
But I digress.
For two years now I've been saying that US President Donald Trump is in the early to middling stages of senile dementia. Sad but true. The only leader the occupied USrael States of America is allowed to have...is someone whose every statement is a confirmation of his infirmity. Witness his recent depiction of Syria as a land of only "sand and death...death and sand". This statement was akin to his statement of last year calling certain nations in Africa "shitholes".
Has Trump ever been to any of these countries? No. Does he have any concept of their ancient histories which form the bedrock of human civilization and culture? No. What he's accurately describing is what the United States has DONE to these countries. Its military aggression has resulted in Syria becoming a land of "sand and death"...especially for American military who tried to rip it apart. The nations in Africa are "shitholes" because of US covert military ops, economic strangulation and biological warfare [ebola virus was patented by the US government]. Previous presidents had the decency not to grossly rub salt into the wound by insulting the nation/victims of US MIC hegemony. Trump's labile mental condition deprives him of that level of cognition and diplomatic awareness.
In the latest example of Trump's demented state we have his gratuitous remarks insulting India and its Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, for India's level of international aid and assistance to Afghanistan. Afghanistan being one of the last nations that the US successfully ripped apart with military aggression. Please read the following report from Iran's National New PressTV and I will have final thoughts and comments to follow:
India hits out at US 'sermons' after Trump mocks PM Modi
India's ruling and opposition parties have condemned US President Donald Trump's comments mocking their country's role in Afghanistan, saying New Delhi “plays a significant role as a development partner” to Kabul.
Trump said on Wednesday he got along very well with Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi but that Modi was "constantly telling me he built a library in Afghanistan."
"You know what that is? That's like five hours of what we spend," Trump told reporters at the White House.
“And we are supposed to say, ‘oh, thank you for the library’. I don’t know who is using it in Afghanistan,” Trump added.
The remarks drew condemnation from all Indian political parties, including opposition, which rallied behind Prime Minister Modi.
"May be Trump should know that while he is decrying every other help in Afghanistan, India has been building not only libraries, but roads, dams, schools and even parliament building," Ram Madhav, a BJP general secretary, said on Twitter.
"We are building lives, for which the Afghan people thank us, no matter what others do or don’t."
Trump’s remarks have also prompted response from India’s main opposition Congress, which said India did not “need sermons from the US on Afghanistan.”
Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel called Trump’s remarks as “completely unacceptable," urging Prime Minister Modi to firmly respond.
India says its projects worth $3 billion in Afghanistan speak for themselves. India’s projects in Afghanistan include a 218-kilometer road, a dam providing irrigation to farmers as well as training programs for more than 3,500 Afghans in India.
Trump has recently said that Russia, Pakistan and India should be intervening in Afghanistan, not the US. "Why are we there 6,000 miles away?" he said.
The US invaded Afghanistan seventeen years ago to oust the Taliban. The militant group’s five-year rule over at least three quarters of Afghanistan came to an end in the wake of the invasion in 2001, but it continues to flex its muscles against the government and the US-led foreign troops remaining on Afghan soil.
The Taliban have strengthened their grip over the past three years, with the government in Kabul controlling just 56 percent of the country, down from 72 percent in 2015, a recent US government report showed.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the Takfiri Daesh terror group has also established a foothold in the war-torn country.
Having failed to end the militancy campaign, Washington has over the past months stepped up its political efforts to secure a truce with Taliban. The US currently has some 14,000 troops in Afghanistan."
**************
One of the lowest forms of human verbal communication/humour is to "mock". It's primal to repeat in a negative way what someone has said to you and denigrate it without analysis or debate...as in Roberts Rules of Order and/or parliamentary-style debate. Trump is incapable of the latter. Whether he ever was is in itself debatable.In the above instance...Trump is mocking the Indian form of aid to the destroyed nation of Afghanistan. India's assistance has been directed at replacing destroyed infrastructure/cultural amenities. The US's form of aid to Afghanistan, on the other hand, has been military violence, destruction of basic infrastructure...constant terror bombing of civilians...the building of military bases and so-called "Embassies"--from which to spy on the population, rule and overlord. In that sense, I can see the "logic" of Trump's annoyance at India's effort to raise the living standards, infrastructure and cultural/political amenities in Afghanistan. Having the ability to travel on decent roads and have a Parliament building goes contrary to the American way of keeping the vassal economic target "pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen".
On a geopolitical level I know the United States is very annoyed with India for its ever-increasing alliance with China and Russia... and the plans Modi has voiced to engage with them in BRICS-related trans-Asian projects like the "New Silk Road". So having Trump blather on semi-coherently about a "library" is actually trending in the accurate direction and familiar strategy of "verbally trash/demonize before you militarily/economically strangle". This is the SOP of the MIC towards what they view as rival competitors on the world scene. The sad part is...that Trump's dumbing the strategy down to incoherent personal insults about "Libraries" is exactly the level he needs to sink to to communicate effectively with the US population of TV toxified and brain-dead sheeple.
Think about it this way. Remember the elaborate traps that Wile E. Coyote used to set for the Roadrunner? Remember how they always ended up? Think then about the estimated brain power of Wile E. Coyote--and you will grasp the psychiatric diagnosis of Trump.
