Kalau Depa Bagi Basikal Campak Saja Dalam Tong Sampah. Minta Motorsikal.

 Jadi musim durian runtuh sudah tiba di Melaka. Mereka akan berkerumun di Melaka seperti Yakjuj dan Makjuj menurun dari bukit. 

"Hingga apabila terbuka tembok yang menyekat Yakjuj dan Makjuj, serta mereka meluru turun dari tiap-tiap tempat yang tinggi" (Surah 21:96).

(Hatta iza futihat ya'jooju wa ma'jooju wahum min kulli hadaabin yan-siloon)

Dan mereka akan menabur pelbagai janji. Dari Kuala Linggi ke Tampin ke Sungai Rambai mereka akan sembur air liur mereka.

Orang Melaka perlu memakai pelitup muka dibuat kain layar tebal dan faceshield jenis bullet proof (kalis peluru) untuk mengelak jangkitan Coronavirus daripada semburan air liur mereka. 

Kalau depa nak bagi basikal sebagai "sumbangan ikhlas" buang saja dalam tong sampah. 

Sambil menghadapi tuduhan berjuta Ringgit dan berbilion Ringgit depa boleh berjalan ke Jerman untuk jumpa doktor (kononnya) untuk merawat sakit belakang. Tuan-tuan pula boleh beratur di Kelinik Kesihatan dan Hospital Kerajaan dan tunggu lah sampai tiba giliran untuk berjumpa dengan doktor. 

Depa boleh berjalan ke Singapura untuk melawat suku sakat yang hidup mewah di sana.   Tuan-tuan pula tunggu anak dewasa hantar duit pada hujung bulan. Sekarang sudah terbalik pula sebab ada juga ayah dan ibu yang kena bantu anak dewasa dengan duit belanja bulanan.  

Jadi jangan lah terlalu mudah ditipu dengan bantuan ikhlas "basikal percuma". Biarlah mereka kongsi sedikit lebih kekayaan mereka itu.  Sekurang-kurangnya bagilah motorsikal Kawasaki Ninja.  Basikal karat semua elok depa simpan sajalah.

Kalau depa "hulur" bantuan ikhlas RM300 jangan ambil lah. Jangan jual murah Tuan-tuan. Dont sell cheap.  

Sekurangnya bagi-lah RM1,000 satu kepala - bantuan ikhlas. Percayalah Tuan-tuan mereka ada duit yang cukup.  Ketua Bahagian yang selalu "tahan duit". 

Setiap kali tiba Pertandingan Memilih Mr Universe depa akan janji dan sumpah atas nama ini, itu, mereka lah pejuang bangsa, negara, pembela ayam, kambing, lembu dan pembela semua nya sekali.

Pagi esok pula, bila pertandingan memilih itu sudah habis,  Mr Universe akan hilang terus. Tidak akan nampak lagi kelibat mereka untuk bertahun-tahun lagi. 

Mereka akan balik ke mahligai gergasi berjuta Ringgit, kepada jam tangan mereka yang "murah" pun RM150,000, kepada isteri muda yang sapu mekap putih-putih siap dengan warna mata kucing. 

Semuanya diperolehi dengan sumbangan ikhlas duit rakyat. Duit Tuan-tuan lah. 

Tuan-tuan pula kena rela dengan sedikit-sedikit saja ke? Takkan secupak tidak boleh jadi segantang? Boleh. Secupak boleh menjadi segantang. Suruh dia orang bagi "sumbangan ikhlas" yang lebih.   Motorsikal ke, duit RM1,000 satu kepala ke.  

Jangan jual murah Tuan-tuan.  Bukan hari-hari Tuan-tuan boleh kaya pun. Depa pula bertahun-tahun dan berpuluh tahun sudah kaya. Dengan makan duit Tuan-tuan. 

Kita bukan minta duit bapak depa. Kita perlu ambil balik duit bapak kita.

Around Oct 1st - 2nd, 2021 China Almost Sank The USS Connecticut - A US Nuclear Submarine - Off Hainan Island

The Americans have been up to no good again. And once again they have been punched squarely in the nose. 

I did notice that from October 2nd till about October 5th there was this unusual news about numerous Chinese aircraft "encroaching" into Taiwanese airspace (US media bullshit). In four days (1st - 5th Oct) about 145 Chinese warplanes flew "near Taiwan".

Friday October 1st, 2021 - 38 Chinese fighters penetrated Taiwan’s airspace 

Sat October 2nd, 2021 - China further increased provocations with 39 aircraft

Sunday October 3, 2021 -  39 Chinese fighter planes invade Taiwan’s airspace. US urged China to stop "provocative military activity" near Taiwan.

Monday Oct. 4 (UPI) -- 56 Chinese warplanes flew into Taiwan "air defense zone" 

• 52 aircraft in the day, 4 at night -- highest total in a single day 
• 36 fighters, 12 bombers, 2 Y-8 anti/submarine warfare planes, 2 AWACS 

Then after 5th October 2021 there were no more reports of Chinese planes "encroaching" into Taiwan airspace. Everything went quiet.  

Well the Chinese planes did not penetrate Taiwan's internationally recognised sovereign  airspace but flew inside what the US Airforce has designated as Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone - which stretches into the Chinese mainland itself !! It was created by the US Air Force and has no legal status !!  

Most of the Chinese flight activity was from the west to the east of China's own Pratas Island. (See map). 

What had happened was that around the 1st - 2nd October 2021 the US Navy's nuclear powered Seawolf class attack submarine the USS Connecticut had approached to within 20 nautical miles (which is extremely very close) of China's Hainan Island. There is a major Chinese submarine base - the Yulin Naval Base - located on the south of the island.     

Then the USS Connecticut was said to have "suffered an unknown underwater collision" at that time (1st - 2nd October). Here is some American news. 

This news was first reported on Thursday 7th October - FIVE days after the unknown underwater collision happened. 

Almost dozen sailors injured after U.S. nuclear attack submarine hit unknown underwater object in the South China Sea

Seawolf-class nuclear attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN-22) suffered an underwater collision while operating in international waters on Oct. 2 and is returning to port in U.S. 7th Fleet, U.S. Pacific Fleet confirmed Thurs (7th Oct).

“Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN-22) struck an object while submerged on the afternoon of Oct. 2, while operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region. 

(OSTB :  Indo-Pacific region? It was 20 nautical miles off Hainan Island.) 

• The extent of damage to submarine being assessed. 
• sailors hurt with moderate to minor injuries. 
• boat headed to Guam, expected to pull in within next day (Fri 8th Oct).
• underwater "strike" occurred in South China Sea 
• attack boat making its way to Guam on the surface since Saturday

Note that it has changed from "unknown underwater collission" to "underwater strike". So did they collide or did they suffer a "strike"?

Here is a picture of a Seawolf class American nuclear attack submarine. This is the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN23), a "sister" ship to the USS Connecticut (SSN22). The Seawolf subs weigh about 9000 tons and are 353 feet long. 

You can immediately dismiss press reports that this 353 feet long,  9000 ton monster submarine was damaged because it had hit  debris and rubbish floating in the South China Sea - including silly stories about hitting 20 foot containers that fell off a container ship!!  20 foot containers would just bounce off the 9000 ton submarine's hardened outer hull.  

The news said:   

• attack boat making its way to Guam on the surface since Saturday

This means the submarine was not able to dive or submerge anymore.  Obviously there was serious damage to the pressure hull which prevented the submarine from submerging.  

Fortunately for the USS Connecticut the sea around Hainan Island (and the South China Sea) is about 500 feet plus or minus, which is fairly 'shallow' for a nuclear sub and where the water pressure is well below its crush depth of 3,000 feet (Seawolf class).

Otherwise the sub may have sunk to the bottom  of the sea.  That could have been really embarrassing for the US - why did the US Navy put the sub at such risk and in such shallow water?

Analysts are saying that the Chinese detected the submarine so near to Hainan Island (within 20 nautical miles) and decided to take action. Hence the 39 Chinese aircraft that took off on Friday 1st October. They may have dropped underwater attack drones which caught the American sub and either collided with it or exploded against the sub. (Hence 12 sailors getting injured. There is no way 12 sailors can get injured inside a 9,000 ton submarine that hit floating debris in the water.)

Whatever they used, the Chinese hit the sub and damaged it.  Enough to make the sub surface and stay on the surface.  The Chinese will certainly not be telling anyone how they hit the sub. 

Then over the next few days the Chinese air force kept an eye on the damaged submarine until it was well outside  Chinese waters. Hence all those 145 warplanes (including 2 Shaanxi Y-8 anti/submarine warfare planes, 2 AWACS ) which were buzzing around the submarine.

  

I believe the Chinese could have sunk the submarine if they wanted to. They did not. It could have caused a war. This was a message to the US Navy that China can detect and hit their submarines. So stay away from us. 

The last righteous war which the Americans fought was the Second World War. All other American wars since then have been wars of aggression. And the Americans have not decisively won a single war since World War 2. 

Korea was a stalemate, they got their butts kicked out of Vietnam. Iraq was a farce, they got kicked out of Afghanistan. 

In 1983 one Shia suicide bomber killed over 200 US Marines and  kicked them all out of Lebanon.  

In 1993 the Americans left Somalia (Mogadishu) in a hurry after the Black Hawk chopper incident which caused them serious embarrasment. 

In 2019 the Iranians shot down an American  Global Hawk  drone at 60,000 feet. All American (and British) drone flights over Iran have since been cancelled.   

Now it looks like the US Navy will not be sending any more submarines anywhere near the Chinese coast. 

Who knows - maybe a US aircraft carrier may also hit an unknown object. 

The US Navy may be changing from blue water to  brown water.
