Dear @glockman, many belated thanks again for your reply and for liking my post again!![]()
Once again, I feel the need to type, and post, another long-winded reply, so please bear with me again, especially since it might include some opinions of mine that you might disagree with!![]()

I wonder whether:You may not be off regarding the resurgence of the Persian/Iranian empire. The west is weakened now and will lose its influence in the years ahead, and they are the very ones limiting Iran via UN sanctions.

who is the Sinkie "Non-Resident Ambassador to Iran" (since late 2008):

agrees with us...
Yes, in terms of:The only great power left which is China is a friend of Iran, and we won't see them opposing the rise of Iran if that ever happens.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity
the GDP of the PRC already surpassed the GDP of the USA some years ago (maybe even nearly ten years ago, if I remember correctly) and also seems to be roughly/at least 30% bigger than the USA's GDP nowadays:
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)
But I strongly suspect that the true kingpin/linchpin/mastermind/cornerstone of both the PRC and Iran is Russia, mainly because of Russia's:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_technology
wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Armed_Forces
wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_industry_of_Russia
especially their:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_weapons
such as:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreshnik_(missile)
wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-47M2_Kinzhal
and, of course, also because of their:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_industry_in_Russia
which the PRC depends a lot on; to be more precise, according to:
energypolicy.columbia.edu/publications/chinas-oil-demand-imports-and-supply-security
"In 2024, China imported 11.1 million barrels per day of crude oil, accounting for 74 percent of the country’s apparent oil consumption"; and according to:
visualcapitalist.com/mapped-where-china-gets-its-oil
"20%" of the PRC's imported oil comes from Russia; therefore, nearly 15% of the PRC's oil consumption depends on Russia and that number is likely to go up from now on, right?
But in terms of culture, manners and character of at least the mainstream population of a country (i.e. people who have average intelligence levels, average heights, average physical fitness levels and, of course, average faces), my favourite country is still my beloved:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan
because of the "Japanese spirit":
ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/大和魂
wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato-damashii
of most (or at least 69% of) Japanese people!![]()
Of course, just like any other country, some Japanese people are bad; but I believe that bad ethnic Chinese people (i.e. not just Mainland Chinese people) are even worse!
For example, and to be more precise, if I were to compare a random sample of 100,000 PRC citizens living in:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai
with a random sample of 100,000 Japanese citizens living in:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo
I believe that:
1. at least 69,000 of those 100,000 Japanese citizens have better manners and character than 100% of those 100,000 PRC citizens;
2. at most 24,100 of those 100,000 Japanese citizens have worse manners and character than only 6,900 of those 100,000 PRC citizens, but better manners and character than 93,100 of those 100,000 PRC citizens;
3. at most 6,900 of those 100,000 Japanese citizens have worse manners and character than 69,000 of those 100,000 PRC citizens, but better manners and character than 31,000 of those 100,000 PRC citizens.
I also strongly believe that the main/fundamental reason for the significantly different cultures (mainly in terms of manners and character) in both countries is the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Buddhist_Persecutions_in_China
that were carried out by the ruling classes in China over a thousand years ago; whereas the ruling classes in Japan (including most, or even all, of the Emperors, aristocrats and high-ranking military generals), since also over a thousand years ago, decided to gradually convert to:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_in_Japan
and ended up practising both Buddhism and their native:
ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/神道
wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto
ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/神仏習合
wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinbutsu-shugo
otherwise, Japanese culture would probably still be just as bad as Chinese culture!
And, of course, the ruling classes would naturally influence the classes below them; but as for why the ruling classes in both countries made such a different choice in the past, I'm afraid I don't know...
Unfortunately, Japan's population has been declining significantly during the past two decades:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan#Statistics_since_1873
and will likely become smaller than the population of the Philippines:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Philippines#Registered_births_and_deaths
and even the population of Vietnam:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Vietnam#Registered_births_and_deaths
roughly 10 (or at most 15) years from now, which is quite amazing because in 1950 (roughly 5 years after the Second World War ended in 1945), Japan's population was "83,199,637", whereas Vietnam's population was only roughly "28 000 000" and the population of the Philippines was "19,881,000"!![]()
This would also cause Japan's rank in the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population
to fall from "11" now to "16", just above Iran and Turkey...
By the way, did you know that the current President of Russia:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin
has "eighth dans" in both Judo:
eju.net/8th-dan-attributed-to-vladimir-putin
reuters.com/article/us-judo-russia-putin-idUSBRE8991F120121010
and Karate:
edition.cnn.com/2014/11/21/world/europe/putin-karate-black-belt/index.html
and has been practising Judo since he was 11 years old:
en.putin.kremlin.ru/interests
but seems to have never practised:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Wushu_(sport)
or any other:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_martial_arts
wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_fu_(term)
such as:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_chi
wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Chun
wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_kung_fu
even though Russia is supposedly an "ally" of the PRC and not an ally of Japan?
This is one of the main reasons for my belief that Putin (and, of course, the Russian government and military) is a secret ally of the Japanese government and military in their attempts to control the PRC, in order to prevent the PRC from becoming too powerful and bullying them; simply because, if the PRC really becomes too powerful, it would likely not only attack/invade and conquer/enslave Taiwan, but would also attack/invade and conquer/enslave Japan, the entire Korean peninsula, Southeast Asia, Australia and even Russia's:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Eastern_Federal_District
wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_Federal_District
wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Federal_District
which have a combined population of only roughly 37 million people (similar to the combined population of Beijing and Tianjin), but a land area of roughly 13 million square kilometres (much bigger than the PRC's entire land area), which includes Russia's oil-rich:
wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Siberian_Economic_Region
wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Siberian_petroleum_basin
Basically, I believe the new "superpower" of the world is already the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance, which has already been controlling the PRC since, let's say, 1997 (when the British gave the whole of Hong Kong to the PRC, even though the 19th-century Qing government "ceded" Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula to the British "in perpetuity"), in order to prevent the PRC from becoming too powerful, simply because the ruling classes of Russia, Iran and Japan would be very foolish to totally trust the CCP or any other ethnic Chinese ruling class of the PRC that might overthrow the CCP in the future, right?
And I also believe/suspect that it is this Russia-Iran-Japan alliance that has successfully pressured/forced/trained the PRC to not only produce (and, of course, export) higher-quality products that are still significantly cheaper than American and European and Japanese products during the past decade (i.e. after Xi Jinping became the President of the PRC in 2013), but also to be predictable enough and reliable enough for at least the next few decades, simply because the CCP and most PRC citizens have become addicted to their higher quality of life and, therefore, have more to lose nowadays, right?![]()
Furthermore, unlike most Iranians (including the ruling class of Iran), who are not afraid of their capital city:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran
being bombed many times, I think it should be safe to say that most PRC citizens (including most CCP members) are much more afraid of:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing
being bombed even once, mainly because ethnic Chinese people tend to fear death (or "kiasee") much more than Iranian people, Russian people and, of course, Japanese people fear death, right?
This is also why I believe the chance/risk of the PRC ever attacking/invading Taiwan is practically zero or less than 0.069%!
As for other countries that might still be "great" powers, I can only think of:
1. the USA (because it still seems to control the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand),
2. India (because in terms of PPP, its GDP is already number three in the world),
3. and maybe the EU (mainly because of Germany, but I think there's a good chance that the EU will become smaller in the future)...
Okay, I think I've become too long-winded, so I'll stop now!![]()

Dear @glockman, many belated thanks for your kind words and for liking my post again!Thanks for the detailed write-up, which I find to be informative.
We are all entitled to our views. This diversity of views make life more interesting!Your Russia-Iran-Japan alliance controlling china is a new angle!

I feel encouraged to elaborate on my opinions/beliefs about the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance being the new de facto "superpower" of the world and other issues, so please bear with me again, even though you will probably disagree with me again!
But fortunately, we at least strongly agree that Iran (and its allies in the Middle East) are the true victims of Israel and the USA, who even dare to use:
wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
attacks against themselves and their own allies, in order to falsely accuse Iran (and its allies in the Middle East) of being the "aggressors", followed by finally outright attacking Iran!
And even though we are not pro-Islam, we still strongly morally support Iran's counterattacks, in order for them to eventually win, and end, the war, right?
Simply because the Middle East and the rest of the world will be truly worse off if Israel and the USA were to truly defeat Iran, right?
And before I reply to the rest of your post, I feel the need to say that, unfortunately, the hard truth about the true political reality on this Earth, which has been true since ancient times until now, is:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Might_makes_right
which I dislike, simply because if the "bad guys" happen to be the mightiest/strongest group of people in any territory, then their victims (including myself) will end up suffering a lot as victims of injustice (to say the least), right?
Also, when I say that "I believe the new "superpower" of the world is already the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance," I don't mean that I totally support them 100% (especially since they are obviously far from perfect); but I dare say that they are probably significantly less evil than the USA domineering over the whole world, right?
But, of course, I'm aware that you consider the PRC to be even less evil...
I'm not sure if all PRC citizens "kind of know who they are and where they stand in the global pecking order"; but if you mean that the current ruling class (i.e. the CCP) of Mainland China and a significant percentage of PRC citizens, who are not CCP members, are "not playing second fiddle to anyone anymore. The US included. They kind of know who they are and where they stand in the global pecking order", then I'm willing to say that I'm aware of the existence of those types of PRC citizens.I don't think it is so though, because as far as I have seen and read (and understood), China is not playing second fiddle to anyone anymore. The US included. They kind of know who they are and where they stand in the global pecking order.
But I believe that such PRC citizens are, at best, simply delusional (because of ignorance); or, at worst, they are very greedy and very ambitious because they are very shamelessly vain/conceited/arrogant and "不自量力" (bù zì liàng lì):
baike.baidu.com/item/不自量力/786675
i.e. their vanity/conceit/arrogance has been causing them to become overconfident/complacent to the point that they have overestimated their own true abilities.
If the PRC is truly the most powerful country in the world, why did they fail to prevent this war in the Middle East from happening?
Obviously, the PRC has never had any ability to prevent it, right?
And so, since nearly three weeks ago, the PRC's imported oil from the Middle East (on which nearly 40% of the PRC's oil consumption depends) has come to an end, which will cause the PRC's GDP to go down significantly or even drastically, especially if your prediction:
comes true, right?The longer the better. So I voted for more than 6.9 years.![]()

But this was mainly because of the Americans and Europeans exploiting the cheap labour of PRC citizens, in order to not only feed their greed for much bigger monetary profits, but also to bribe the CCP with large amounts of US dollars and Euros, so that many of these CCP members (and their family members) can buy luxury goods from the USA and Europe, right?in recent decades the rise of china in manufacturing, economically and militarily has left Japan in the dust.
I believe this is what has been motivating the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance to try their best to prevent the CCP/PRC from becoming too powerful and also from being totally controlled by the US and the EU, or by the "Deep State" in the US and EU, to be more precise:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state
wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state#United_States
wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state_conspiracy_theory_in_the_United_States
Based on what I know, I believe that the Japanese government and military have always been pretending to be a "US stooge" because it's part of their overall strategy to pacify the US government and military, in order to prevent them from attacking Japan again, which is why the Japanese government wants the:I told him it is unfortunate that Japan is a US stooge (together with S.Korea and Taiwan), seeing that the US has become an insufferable global bully
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Forces_Japan
to have "55,000 active-duty servicemembers and 15 major bases" in Japan, which would also deter the PRC and/or North Korea from attacking Japan first.
I also believe that the Japanese government has been secretly supporting Russia to help the PRC to significantly strengthen its military, in order to deter the USA from attacking the PRC first.
This is why I believe that the chance/risk of any war happening in East Asia is less than 0.069%!
...especially in recent times under dictator trump and his henchmen. All these countries need to ween themselves off their US dependency. Stop drinking the US kool-aid that seek to poison them into seeing china as the enemy just because it's a communist country. In actual fact, the US is so fearful it is losing (or has already lost?) its position as the global hegemon to china and hence is doing its best to maintain its position.
We need to take pride in being Asians, tell the white man to piss off, stop interfering with Asia, and welcome the decline of the west.![]()
Finally, I feel the need to reveal my "conspiracy theory" about this worldwide political issue, which seems to be not well-known at all (let alone popular; and even among pro-Trump "conspiracy theorists", it's not well-known), i.e. all the various ruling classes of all the various countries/regions around the world are divided into only three main groups/alliances:It's autocracy and religious fanaticism that present the most threat.
1. The pro-:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
or Zionist ruling classes, also known as the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_lobby
or:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby
which was initially based in the UK during the 19th century and early 20th century:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_Kingdom
but during the past eight decades (after the end of the Second World War), it has been based mainly in the USA:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States
wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Israel_Public_Affairs_Committee
and it includes both:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Americans
(but not all Jewish Americans are Zionists) and some non-Jewish Americans, mainly/especially the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionists
wikipedia.org/wiki/Christians_United_for_Israel
who are essentially:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Heretics
i.e. false Christians:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism#Critical_views_within_Christianity
and, unfortunately, a significant percentage of US soldiers (i.e. at least a large minority of them), from the lowest-ranking privates to the highest-ranking 4-star generals, are Zionists (including "Christian" Zionists)!
By the way, the famous anti-Zionist Professor:
wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mearsheimer
co-wrote the book:
wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Foreign_Policy
nearly twenty years ago.
2. The "neutral" ruling classes in "neutral" countries; but they can still be bad people, just like in ancient times, when Zionism did not exist.
3. And, of course, the anti-Zionist ruling classes, the most powerful of whom are the ruling classes of Russia, Iran and Japan (which I call the "Russia-Iran-Japan alliance").
I'm aware that the Japanese ruling class does not seem to be obviously anti-Israel/Zionism, but that's because they have been pretending to be a "US stooge" (while secretly supporting Russia and Iran), and also because Japan is geographically very far away from the USA, Europe and the Middle East.
And now, here's my very controversial "conspiracy theory" about the one and only:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump
truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump
x.com/realDonaldTrump
twstalker.com/realDonaldTrump
thetrumparchive.com
thetrumparchive.com/insights/past
thetrumparchive.com/insights/insults
Basically, I believe/suspect that Trump is a secret ally of the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance!
This is because, back in late 2024 (over a year ago, after Trump won the US Presidential Election in early November 2024 and before his US Presidential Inauguration in January 2025), I discovered the following videos:
x.com/CMDRVALTHOR/status/1860702981622014371
twstalker.com/CMDRVALTHOR/status/1860702981622014371
youtube.com/watch?v=CGotwbb0Ze8
bitchute.com/video/jMruV85euMTF
old.bitchute.com/video/jMruV85euMTF
and also:
postimg.cc/mP5CFJXz
And so, I believe/suspect that many years ago (maybe even a few decades ago), well before Trump formally announced his:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2016_presidential_campaign
on "June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower in New York City", a secret group of powerful anti-Zionist and anti-"Deep State" Americans, which included Trump and at least a few high-ranking US military generals and some lower-ranking US soldiers (such as Colonels) from the:
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_special_operations_forces
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Special_Operations_Command
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Special_Operations_Command
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Special_Warfare_Command
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Forces_Special_Operations_Command
wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Special_Operations_Command
decided to secretly ally themselves with the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance!
This implies that back then, Trump started to secretly betray his Zionist masters, while pretending to serve them at the same time!
In other words, Trump is a very high-ranking defector/mole/spy!
Therefore, I believe/suspect that Trump is trying his best to purge the US military of as many Zionist US soldiers as possible by ordering as many of them as possible to go to the Middle East to fight Iran and die!
Risking their lives while fighting Iran is also what these Zionist US soldiers are willing to do, right?
But, of course, I believe Trump is not so evil as to order them to kill innocent Iranian civilians...
The vast majority of Americans nowadays seem to be divided into two main groups:
1. Those who are against Trump ordering the US military to attack Iran because they did not want this war to start;
2. and those who support Trump ordering the US military to attack Iran and they obviously do not want Iran to fight back.
But I believe that there is a very small group of Americans (and also non-Americans) who believe that Trump is secretly supporting Iran against those Zionist US soldiers that he is trying to purge!
And, of course, this very small group of Americans (and also non-Americans) are also secretly supporting Trump and Iran against those Zionist US soldiers!
By the way, Trump obviously cannot possibly remain as US President forever, so he will eventually be succeeded by a significantly younger person, right?
Maybe the new and much younger US President in the future will finally be openly anti-Zionist!
And also thanks to the Russia-Iran-Japan alliance!I feel that communism is not a threat to anyone these days. Times have changed. ... The west has plundered the world (especially the middle east, africa, asia) through the decades and even centuries, it seems only Asia is able to fend them off thanks to China.![]()
