Chapter 381: Stupidity has no limits
readx; On January 1, 2003, the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) was officially launched amid the clamor of war in the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, the ASEAN Free Trade Area has been launched a long time ago, but it has not been officially named, and the economic ties between China and ASEAN countries have long been very close, and it is more appropriate to call it a matter of course.
At a time when China is making every effort to develop its economy, the United States has stepped up its efforts to build momentum for the invasion of Iraq.
From 29 January to 3 February, despite the rising tide of global anti-war protests, the leaders of Britain, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and the Czech Republic successively announced their support for the US policy toward Iraq and said that Saddam Hussein should not be tolerated. Hussein continues to violate UN resolutions.
On 5 February, US Secretary of State Colin Powell delivered a speech on the Iraq issue at the UN Security Council, declaring that Saddam's behavior had greatly exceeded the bottom line of people with conscience in the world.
On 15 February, people without "conscience" organized a global march against the war against Iraq, which was staged simultaneously in more than 600 cities around the world, with the participation of about 6 million people without "conscience," making it the largest anti-war demonstration in history.
On February 26, U.S. President George ? Walker? In his speech on the post-war issue of Iraq, Bush said that he hoped to see a boiled Iraq and set an example for other Arab countries, and that this was the unshirkable and sacred mission of the American people, chosen by God.
On 12 March, British Prime Minister Tony Blair proposed amendments to a new UN Security Council draft resolution, but France quickly opposed it, saying that it would use its veto power on the new resolution.
On 16 March, the heads of state of the United States, Britain, Portugal, and Spain met in the Azores, and US President George W. Bush said that the last moment had come and that the United States and its allies would make final efforts to pass the resolution they had submitted.
At the same time, the world once again erupted in opposition to the war against Iraq: the largest global vigil for peace was staged around the world, once again expressing anti-war demands.
On March 17, U.S. President George ? Walker? Bush issued an ultimatum demanding that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his son leave Iraq within 48 hours, or face a military attack by the United States.
On 20 March, the joint forces led by the United States and Britain officially declared war against Iraq without the authorization of the United Nations, and the Iraq War broke out.
On 22 March, the United States began a large-scale bombing of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

In Han Yuan's staff group, the vast majority of people were depressed, while a very small number of people were jubilant.
This is so because of gambling.
On 17 May, two months after the US invasion of Iraq, Han Yuan's staff committee made a bet, and almost everyone participated, and the bet was not small, it was half a year's salary.
There is not one, but two.
The first is how the US political axe dealt with the socialists and the military and police who were members of the political axe personnel in the Saddam era, and the way to gamble was that one side thought that they would choose to keep them, and the other side thought that all of them would be dismissed.
The second is whether the United States will find weapons of mass destruction, and the way to bet is that one side thinks it will, and the other side thinks it won't.
This so-called finding is not really found, in fact, it is a bet on whether the United States will cheat.
The first question is that the ratio of those who will choose to retain and all the revolutions is five to one.
The second question is that the ratio of those who believe that the United States will cheat to those who will not cheat is 30 to 1.
The first question, the minority team won, which made many people really hurt and almost vomited blood, because it made no sense, and in their opinion, the reason why some people gambled with them was not really justified, but purely speculative.
If the minority wins, it is equivalent to two and a half years of wages, and if they win, it is just over a month's salary.
Hair loss!
I really can't figure it out!
Iraq's Shiites make up about 60 percent of the population, while Sunnis make up 40 percent.
Because of this demographic structure, normal people will continue to adopt Saddam's policy, supporting Sunnis and suppressing Shiites, because Iran's Jiucheng Renkou is Shiites.
Moreover, even without this factor, it would never have been possible to do so in the sole interest of stabilizing the situation in Iraq.
Now, the United States has fired all the political axemen and military and police personnel of the Saddam era, and this is first of all creating a big bomb for itself.
So many people with professional skills, especially the military police, what do they do when they lose their jobs?
When the United States invaded, they were already damaged vested interests, and they hated the Americans, but now they have nothing to hesitate about, because they need to pick up guns, whether it is from the point of view of hatred or from the point of view of making a living.
Second, by reforming all these people with professional skills, the United States will create trouble for itself, and without these people, the effectiveness of governance will be greatly reduced.
In fact, it is not a big reduction, it is chaos, and chaos in turn will make more people hate the United States and force them to pick up guns.
The Americans are doing this, purely a typical criminal of Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror.
Because the United States is hostile to Iran, the Shiites in Iraq hate the United States, and the United States has forced the Sunnis, the forces on which it should have relied upon, to rebel.
Is this something that normal people can do?
Vomiting blood is normal.
Now, there are six guys in the staff who are getting more and more sleepless, and they are all about to have a nervous breakdown.
These six guys are the "one" of thirty to one.
If this wins, each of these six guys will win fifteen years' wages!
The deadline is one year, and if within a year, the United States does not fake, then there will be no fraud, because there is no time.
"The paralyzed, there is no stupidest, only more stupid!"
These days, many people are gritting their teeth and muttering these eleven words.
In the blink of an eye, 2004 has passed; In the blink of an eye, it's March.
Many people know that although the time has not yet come, the six happy bastards have already won.
I don't understand, I don't understand!
For Americans, there is no moral problem with counterfeiting, but if there is no moral problem, why not?
If it does not, the United States itself will be extremely passive, both morally and politically.
Falsification, even if everyone knows it is fake, is still very useful, because with this rhetoric, people's nagging and nagging is over.
If you don't make up this fake, then this topic can be brought up at any time, and it can be used to accuse the United States of political axe and use this matter to get involved with the United States.
If even the pretext for going to war is proven to be false, it will be a disaster for any political axe, and any politician with a reasonable surname must be falsified.
Moreover, after the overthrow of Saddam's regime, the CIA planted false accusations, and the false testimony of former senior Iraqi officials bribed by the United States, can "confirm" that Iraq indeed has an immature nuclear program, so that the international community has to accept that the United States has in fact occupied Iraq, and will no longer continue to debate and entangle these useless issues of right and wrong.
Moreover, the United States is even more stupid because it has made "the establishment of a free Iraq," which was not in its pretext for war, the main goal of its governance in Iraq.
It is not enough to disband the Iraqi army and purge Saddam's Socialist Party officials from all levels of political axe departments, thus using themselves as a tool to seize power and profit for the Shiites.
Freedom to cook this kind of thing to fool other countries, but to do so in Iraq is tantamount to stuffing meat into the mouth of the Shiites, that is, Iran.
How do American heads grow on earth?
I don't understand!
――――
Boom and bust.
In the dark, it seems that there really is some god who is defending the sacred surname of this truth.
The powerful Soviet Union collapsed in a daze.
The United States, which is at the peak of its strength, hulala, has suddenly run out of a group of stupid and incredible living treasures such as Bush Jr., Cheney and Rumsfeld, and every day it is staging an incredible stupid drama.
Before the Iraq War began, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz had made a pitch in the U.S. Congress about the costs and profits of the war.
According to the analysis of the US Department of Defense, if the United States can increase Iraq's oil production from 1.5 million barrels per day to 4.5 million to 5 million barrels, the United States can use Iraq's oil revenue to pay for the military expenditures of the United States and allied forces, one to pay for the financial expenses of the new Iraqi policy, and one to pay for Iraq's reconstruction.
The reconstruction of Iraq as a whole is, of course, undertaken by American and British engineering firms, such as Harry Barton, which is controlled by US Vice President Dick Cheney and is usually staffed by retired senior generals.
After the occupation of Iraq, the American GIs should have gone straight to the oil fields and oil pipelines, but no, after the occupation of Iraq, the United States competed with the Sunni militias of its own enemies, and they fought hard one by one, and the American GIs continued to go to the Sunni areas to carry out extermination.
Anyone in his right mind must divide and rule after occupying other countries, especially in a place like Iraq, where sectarian and ethnic contradictions are extremely complex.
If the United States does this, it will adopt the method of divide and rule, that is, it will not distinguish between the various religions and local factions in Iraq, but will adopt the method of sowing discord and drawing a prison for themselves, so that they will fight to the death and fight each other.
In this way, the Iraqis of any faction will not have the extra strength to trouble the Americans, and the US military will not need to use its limited military resources for counter-insurgency operations that have nothing to do with its own interests, and it will naturally be able to concentrate its forces to seize oil resources, protect the safety of the employees of US oil companies, and quickly drive out Iraq's oil and snatch it out.
If you have money, you can do everything, and you can easily win over and buy and sow discord, build Iraq better, and if you can't carry it, you can really make the Iraqis grateful to Dade.
However, the US political axe did not do this, as if it could not sleep unless it showed the bravery of American GIs in Iraq.
Moreover, there is an extremely bad consequence of the United States doing this, that is, it has offended the Sunni countries around Iraq, such as Saudi Arabia.
Since then, these Sunni countries have begun to provide personnel, funds, and weapons to support the anti-American forces, thus complicating the problem and getting out of control.
Also before the start of the US war against Iraq, Qatar's Al Jazeera interviewed a number of Iraqis in which they talked about who would pay for the US aggression.
The final conclusion was Iraqi oil, and then there was a discussion about how to stop it, and the result was two ways: to explode the pipeline and to attack the employees of the American oil companies.
It is very interesting that there were people who vowed to put it into action, and this is exactly what happened in Iraq later.
It is a pity that the United States, which has such an efficient intelligence system, completely ignores these things.
Soon, the big names in the United States couldn't bear it, but they just wanted to change their ways now and had little chance, so the powerful American military had to pay local tribes to defend the oil pipelines.
As a result, the explosions did not occur again, but the oil pipes always failed in one way or another, and it was usually after enough oil was supplied to the local refineries in Iraq that there were strange mechanical "accidents" that caused the oil to stop.
What's more, the oil in the pipeline was actually sucked up halfway through, and finally became cheap oil on the black market, and the profits from selling the oil would be turned into weapons and ammunition to attack the US military.
――――
The wind was blowing, the winter of 2004 was really cold, and the weather was very much like the mood of these big people in the White House.
Once upon a time, these bits, all of them were so high-spirited, and they definitely had the strength to guide the country and the dung of the ten thousand households.
But now, all his heads are drooping down and dipped in the crotch of his pants.
It's hard, it's too hard, it's too many problems.
The first problem is the lack of troops.
The Ministry of Defense assesses that it would be necessary to at least double the number of troops in order to fully control Iraq's oil fields and pipelines, but this is simply not possible.
In order to have such a large number of soldiers, it is necessary to implement conscription, but in the current situation, it is simply not possible, and no one dares to do this.
If the United States does not have enough soldiers, it will have to train the Iraqi political axe army, but this is even more head-scratching, no one knows who these Iraqi soldiers will aim at when they have guns in their hands.
In addition to this, the bigwigs are also facing an unexpected trouble, and that is the Iraqi political axe.
The Iraqi political axe is naturally a puppet political axe, but this puppet political axe is now becoming more and more disobedient.
Although the puppet political axe is a puppet political axe, it also has its own interests, and they also want to hold the oil interests in their own hands, and they will never willingly let the Americans snatch the oil.
In addition, there is an even more headache, and that is China. China is growing so fast that it is beyond anyone's imagination.
This time, China joined the WTO not only because it wanted China, but also because it wanted to trap China, poison China with those poisonous bonds, and kill China with the financial atomic bomb.
The reason why China joined the WTO so quickly is because China has made great concessions in the financial field. Although it is not very thorough, the geniuses of Wall Street believe that with these alone, they will definitely be able to poison China to death.
However, China is expanding too fast, and their plan to poison and kill China has just been rolled out, and it will take a few years to really start it, but look at China's momentum, when the time comes, even if the poison attacks and the atomic bomb explodes, it may not be able to really do anything to China.
However, the good thing is that although it is very difficult, they will not bear any responsibility for themselves, at most they will end up with the worst president and the worst defense minister or something.
Ming Cook, stepping down is the biggest punishment.
――――
These idiots in the United States have also done a stupid thing, which is to classify Saudi Arabia as a class enemy.
Black and white, the signature dish of the imposing neocons, Saudi Arabia is a hotbed of Islamic extremist Wahhabis and a financial backer of the Taliban.
On this basis, Saudi Arabia is naturally a black faction and a class enemy of the United States.
What's more, the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the political axe and [***] is also very ambiguous, before the 911 incident, several CIA unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have actually locked on [***], but it was found that there were several Saudi princes around him and did not dare to act categorically.
When nineteen Saudi terrorists crashed the World Trade Center, Americans' resentment against Saudi Arabia soared, and the U.S. Congress began a 911 truth investigation, including an investigation into the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the political axe and [***].
At this time, the opportunity for the Jews came.
The Jews hate Saudi, and they hate it very much.
In Saudi Arabia, anti-Semitic education begins at an early age, which has made Jews in Israel and the United States very unhappy with Saudi Arabia.
Moreover, the economic care of the Palestinian families by wealthy Saudi people (whose families and children benefit almost for life as long as it is a suicide attack against an Israelis) makes Jews even more resentful of Saudi Arabia.
The Jewish community, which has a significant influence in the United States, including the neoconservatives, will certainly not miss this opportunity to attack Saudi Arabia.
Fueled by the Jews, on the one hand, the big-mouthed members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are clamoring in the press to investigate how Saudi money is transferred to terrorist accounts, while on the other hand, the U.S. 911 truth team is actually tracking the flow of Saudi money.
Against this background, Saudi Arabia withdrew nearly $400 billion from the United States in order to protect itself on the one hand, and on the other hand, to retaliate against the United States.
At this time, the United States was stupid again, so the US Congress hurriedly passed the "Motherland Investment Act" to plug the hole.
This "Motherland Investment Act" is, to put it bluntly, a tax cut.
Under the Act, large U.S. companies were supposed to pay a 35 percent tax rate when they repatriated overseas profits, but under this act, if the funds are repatriated at the end of 2005, they will enjoy a preferential tax rate of 5.25 percent.
The Americans are stupid, but they can give the Black God Bank to Lemeng.
In this matter, the stupidity of the Americans does not lie in making a big hole for themselves, but in the fact that most of this money goes to China.
On the one hand, the United States is bent on waging a financial war against China, but on the other hand, it has sent a large amount of ammunition to China for free.
In fact, the benefits of the United States' encirclement and suppression of Saudi Arabia to China go far beyond this.
