G7 is supposed to represent the top nations of the democratic world. In reality its garbage. G(arbage)7 is a bunch of losers.

Starting from last year, it has tasked itself to lead the world to counter China, specifically the Chinese Bridge and Road Initiative (BRI). Last year, it started with an initiative named "Build Back Better World". Now, one year after, this has been renamed and relaunched as “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment” (PGII). That’s all it has achieved in one year. Nothing else. Nothing has been built. This is a disgrace for a group which is made up of the most developed nations on earth.

$600 Billion for the PGII is a pittance. It is less than the Annual Budget for the US Department of Defense.

Without G7 support, Chinese BRI continues to progress well. This is in spite of all the misinformation, disinformation, fake news and outright lies that the G(arbage)7 and its allies throw at it. It would have done better if not for all those dirty politicking by them.

Compared to BRI, this PGII will be another garbage from G(arbage)7.

This Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment started off with an ignoble aim. It is formed not with the altruism to help develop those nations which need development. Its sole objective is to counter the Chinese BRI. Which means that if it were to be successful to the extend that it kills off the BRI, then its objective would have been reached and the reason for its existence would end. Those nations which subscribe to it will end up with nothing. No BRI or PGII.

Right from the beginning, G(arbage)7 leaders have turned global infrastructure development for needy nations into global politics. PGII is being used as a tool to promote Western-style Democracy against other democracies or non-democracies.

One can write volumes about the merits and demerits of Western-style Democracy. For this discussion, let’s briefly touch on its bearing on Infrastructure Development.

Western-style Democracy is noted for its changing government. It guarantees to change a bad government but it cannot guarantee a good government. It can therefore result in a constant changing of bad government; or bad to worse government. This of course is detrimental to long-term infrastructure projects. For instance, right now, we have a bunch of elected Presidents and Prime Ministers of G(arbage)7 coming together to start a global infrastructure initiative. Few years down the road, how many of them will still be in office? What will happen to their global initiatives then?

Before they start any world or global initiative on infrastructure, each of them should look at what has happened in their own country first. Just compare high-speed rail. In the US, one President announced the initiative for a high-speed rail. Its been more than a decade since. Up till now, not a single kilometer is in operation. Only the governments and Presidents have changed. In that same period of time, China’s high-speed rail system has been augmented with more and better trains and thousands of kilometers of rail tracks. The same can be said for highways, bridges, dams, ports, airports, green energy generations, etc..

Also, take the case of India, which claims itself as the world largest Democracy. It is not surprising that India is the G(arbage) 7 Guest-of-Honor this year. Like those bunch of losers, India is another loser nation. When Shinzo Abe was the PM of Japan, he helped his nation to compete and win against China for the contract to build India’s first high-speed rail. He was proud of himself for that. Years later, when there was little to no progress in the project, he visited India to sort things out but failed. The Indian mess was too much for him. Shortly after returning to Japan from that trip, he resigned. Now, more years after that, and many more millions of dollars spent, there is still nothing that resembles a high-speed rail system in sight.

Look at the horror that Sri Lanka is now. It was doing fine as a BRI participant. But its jealous neighbor India scared it with the con talk of “Debt Trap”. India, with encouragement from Western Democracies, next caused the government of the day to be replaced. The new India- and Western Democracies-friendly government stopped most BRI projects and replaced them with those proposed by India, Japan and Western Democracies. From then on, Sri Lanka’s economy took on a continuous decline until it is what it is today.

These and more examples will show that Western-style Democratic nations cannot be relied upon to build up the world. This has not shown up until a better alternative like China appears. Western-style Democracy is more about destruction than construction. Throughout their histories, they have brought about massive deaths and destruction through wars. Look at what their notorious NATO has done to the world in recent times, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia. Now they have caused another war in Ukraine. They will not stopped there until the whole of Europe and the whole world is engulfed in a conflagration. Its happening. While the war in Ukraine is expanding, Western Democracies are hell bent on starting a war in Asia-Pacific.

That’s what Western Democracies are good at. Waging wars, causing deaths and destruction, not infrastructure development.

Biden to hold talk with Xi.

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/world/2022/06/28/us-says-biden-xi-set-to-meet-in-coming-weeks/

The Chinese should be careful. It may turn out to be a worldwide humiliation for Xi.

Biden is a failing and falling POTUS. He falls asleep in wide public view. He falls from his walk. He falls from his bike. He is presiding over a falling economy. His rating and popularity as POTUS is falling sharply. It’s one fall after another, without end. He desperately needs to redeem himself. The coming mid-term election makes this more urgent.

He may use the coming meeting with Xi to restore his reputation. He would make every effort to appear stronger and tougher than Xi. He would even bark at Xi, like he did to ex-President Jiang, for the whole world to watch. The Americans would love him for that. All his failings and falling will be forgotten.

Does China want of offer such an opportunity to senile , old Biden?

Leaders of G(arbage) are at the Summit to redeem themselves at the international stage from the political failings in their own home country.

Joe Biden is trying desperately to redeem himself from his failings as POTUS before the mid-term election.
BoJo of UK is most desperate. His Xmas Party scandal keeps haunting him. More and more of his Party members are ditching him. The Opposition Labor Party wants to carry out a vote-of-no-confidence against him. He is so desperate for credits that he wants to compete with Putin bare-chest-to-bare-chest!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jCiuMq_hW0

BoJo: Shall we take our clothes off?
We've got to show them our pecs.

This is being disrespectful to the lady present in the meeting. Is he expecting her to do the same? She will beat all the males in the meeting!

Putin considers BoJo's act disgusting.

All those men leaders in the G7 are idiots. With a woman among them, they still want to talk about taking their shirts off to compare chest size. If that woman were to take off her shirt, her chest size would beat all of those men's.

Lols.

It's G(arbage)7 alright!

It's that time of the year when leaders of G(arbage) 7 gather for a summit meeting.

What has the G(arbage) 7 achieved since 2021 when Joe Biden came onboard?

He has grown more senile and sleepy, resulting in more gaffes.

In 2021, he announced the Build Back Better World (B3W). In 2022, it was changed to Partnership for Global Infrastructure and
Investment (PGII) . What has been built so far? Nothing!

The only notable change about the G(arbage) 7 since 2021 is its leadership.. Bojo of UK is gone, there are new PMs from Japan and Italy. With such frequent change in its leaders, how can the G(arbage) 7 reach a decision on any big, long term infrastructure project?

As usual, the summit will be long on ideologies and short on pragmatics. The US will be peddling its values of democracy, freedom and humans rights. It will be democracy vs autocracy, G(arbage) 7 vs China and Russia - a much ado about nothing.

Last year, it started with an initiative named "Build Back Better World". Now, one year after, this has been renamed and relaunched as “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment” (PGII). That’s all it has achieved in one year. Nothing else. Nothing has been built. This is a disgrace for a group which is made up of the most developed nations on earth.

Its sole objective is to counter the Chinese BRI. Which means that if it were to be successful to the extend that it kills off the BRI, then its objective would have been reached and the reason for its existence would end. Those nations which subscribe to it will end up with nothing. No BRI or PGII.

It can therefore result in a constant changing of bad government; or bad to worse government. This of course is detrimental to long-term infrastructure projects. For instance, right now, we have a bunch of elected Presidents and Prime Ministers of G(arbage)7 coming together to start a global infrastructure initiative. Few years down the road, how many of them will still be in office? What will happen to their global initiatives then?

In the US, one President announced the initiative for a high-speed rail. Its been more than a decade since. Up till now, not a single kilometer is in operation. Only the governments and Presidents have changed. In that same period of time, China’s high-speed rail system has been augmented with more and better trains and thousands of kilometers of rail tracks. The same can be said for highways, bridges, dams, ports, airports, green energy generations, etc..

Like those bunch of losers, India is another loser nation. When Shinzo Abe was the PM of Japan, he helped his nation to compete and win against China for the contract to build India’s first high-speed rail. He was proud of himself for that. Years later, when there was little to no progress in the project, he visited India to sort things out but failed. The Indian mess was too much for him. Shortly after returning to Japan from that trip, he resigned. Now, more years after that, and many more millions of dollars spent, there is still nothing that resembles a high-speed rail system in sight.

India, with encouragement from Western Democracies, next caused the government of the day to be replaced. The new India- and Western Democracies-friendly government stopped most BRI projects and replaced them with those proposed by India, Japan and Western Democracies. From then on, Sri Lanka’s economy took on a continuous decline until it is what it is today.

Western-style Democracy is more about destruction than construction. Throughout their histories, they have brought about massive deaths and destruction through wars. Look at what their notorious NATO has done to the world in recent times, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia. Now they have caused another war in Ukraine. They will not stopped there until the whole of Europe and the whole world is engulfed in a conflagration. Its happening. While the war in Ukraine is expanding, Western Democracies are hell bent on starting a war in Asia-Pacific.

This G7 summit will be yet another occasion for the US to demonise China as an existential threat to the US and the world.

It is time for the US to take a look at itself. There is no worse existential threat to the US than itself.

China, rather than being an existential threat, is the envy of the world.
