Quote:Larchmonter445 said...The Pivot to Asia is centered on Malaysia.
The US Navy demands its hegemonic control of the Straits of Malacca so it can strangle China's oceanic transport (commodities in, products out).
The Chinese want to build a canal through Thailand to end the Straits as a choke-point. So the government there is overthrown by chaos and the military.
Malaysia has very entwined Free Trade Zone relationships with China.
Everywhere China invests, the U.S. creates chaos.
Libya, Greece, South Sudan, Ukraine, Thailand, Iraq, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, Mongolia are just a few.
I follow China very closely for the last dozen years and this pattern is predictable. The U.S. turns peace into war, investment into loses, stability into chaos. Most of these are maritime or petroleum points in the Chinese trade system. They have lost hundreds of billions in recent years because of these situations.
The Chinese need Russia, Russia needs China. And they need to gather more big nations. BRICS and SCO are just the beginning of what they need.
The U.S. is going to toss Turkey some heavy trouble soon. Probably, will use the Kurds and ISIS.
Turkey is talking to Russia. It is inevitable that Turkey will get a storm the government cannot handle.
The U.S. is working over South Korea for its very close relationship with China. Forcing a missile defense system which is a threat to both China and Russia. Notice, last week the DPRK offered the idea of a Federal re-uniting of North and South. What was the response? I've heard nothing. Didn't the world want this? Isn't that what the last 60 years has been all about? Well, the U.S. does not want a resolution. It wants trouble, so its power is necessary in the East China Sea region.
Malaysia is an easy patsie for U.S. power. It isn't radical muslim, isn't aggressive by nature, a place you can build filthy rare earth processing plants and they won't say anything about the pollution.
I imagine the Chief of Station of the CIA can tell the Prime Minister and head of Malaysia Air that we are going to disappear a plane or two, kill some 600 people and string the world along with lies, and the leadership will say nothing. Patsies. Overwhelmed. They'd give the COS their wives and daughters, or sons for a night or two, if that was the "request".
So a few lying headlines is no big thing in KL.

Interesting comments. The Malay/Chinese/Indian racial faultlines within Malaysia can be activated to keep them busy and distracted too.

Having lived through the Cold War, most confrontations and wars took place far away from Russian borders. This Ukraine situation has a feel unlike anything I can remember.
