Another nice article… very informative. Its difficult to even fathom a win win scenario. It’s fascinating how this whole complex game is playing out, as Russia and China assert their economic muscle, I see the simultaneous EU driven buying up of Africa. Every time I blink there seems to be another Biodiesel project starting up in Mozambique or Zambia, they buying up huge tracks of land. Something that seems quite bizarre to me is that Ukraine is in dire straights but it is a huge buyer of Biodiesel cropland here in Africa. I think the battle of the giants is going to leave carcasses strewn across the globe. I can just see it coming… Africa has got no food, where has it gone? It’s in your petrol tank because Europe and USA don’t make anything and can’t buy Russia’s gas. I hope Russia and China compensate and use Africa to grow food ;) It’s a bankers mess… this world of ours is a total disaster.

If there is any disillusionment about Obama being one of those globetrotters, then just look at the actions. He has succeeded in doing everything Bush has and more, but this time with a smile and less criticism. US government is more dangerous now than it was before, but Americans are waking up to this fact. Asia will prove mroe resilient to Obamania, but in politics there are usually niceties exchanged for public consumption. The Euro trip Obama had was largely sponsored by NGO's and US support to make him look good as the press was ready to show the world the new boss. To think he wasn't set up as the new president is ridiculous! Who goes around like that on a presidential campaign! Who is given a Nobel prize, nominated for it only a month before the limit of nominees. Which puts him in for 1 month in office. He has a Armada behind him to make him look good to keep those in US power going another 4 years. Hopefully, Asia sees through it unlike the current Russian government who is so happy to work with them now. Russia lost the missile defense because now there is no support against the new missile plans which are far more grim than the Czech, Polish deal. US government continues to support Georgia, a nation that promotes instability in the caucus region to deny pipe lines to Russia. Ukraine's Orange revolution shows, a Soro's sponsored event, has shown what US puppets do as they used Ukraine to block gas transit through their country. Meanwhile US runs new lines through Afghanistan and buys up oil fields in Iraq. Obama hasn't CHANGED anything, his campaign slogan. Only HOPE which has no tangible results. I hope for change, but received nothing. I don't believe the Chinese America bond is as strong as the press makes it out to be. America is playing that card, but they sold their whole industrial base and rotted the nation from within. They now have the consumer industry which is just buying "STUFF". Others can buy Stuff.

The US is governed by the same families who own and govern Europe and Israel. Thus, China and Russia are truly in a balancing act of how to bring the real free market into play, since the EU, Israel and the US had the DECIDER who was given the green light by all those families of antiquity to do what it is they have done for far too long: genocide and colonialism. I am relieved Barack Obama is black, this may have been a plus on one side of the coin, however, on the other side of him is a white race, but it is only black the world sees - not yellow or brown either. Thus, the law of unintended consequences is the Asian countries have phobias and superstitions and other mind trip wires, but all in all the Asian people have been looking at the human being for centuries and discovering what co-creates a truly enlightened one of our species, human, and it is not found in the countries where the Tao has never been. OBAMANIA is not even a consideration in the Asian countries.

Obama will be happy to be in Asia after the terrorist attack in Fort Hood. He avoids questions and smiles less. He has already spent more than Bush did by spending a trillion dollars and the taxpayers are relentless in criticism. Even though the mainstream media makes him look good the American people know a scam artist when they see one and so will Japan.

None believes Obama or USA anymore... They know they loose and they try to pretend that they are good as before 1990. But they are very bad actors and people laugh at them. They didn't change their policies since Bush. They still themselves butcher people and support Israel to do so... Asia represented mainly by Japan, China and Russia is a winning economical power and soon the world will stop to depend on USA. The next step is the replacement of dollar as an international currency. If Russia and China decide to expand SCO and make it an EU of the East with a common currency then dollar will loose all its power. People will start their transactions in the new Asian currency and Euro...

007. You wish they would "use" Africa to grow food! I just wish they would all leave Africa alone. However, on rense.com yesterday I saw a link to a South African paper and an article about South Farmers, - white farmers - who are migrating to Libya to farm! It sounds very promising too. As for the Obama person - I do not think he is actually human, or that he has a heart. I find him very strange indeed. A bloodless creation, and I feel sorry for him.
