America China conflict is not about economics


Famous Harvard University historian Professor Graham Allison introduced the idea of Thucydides Trap to explain the current conflict between America and China. Thucydides is considered to be one of the first, if not the first, historian. In his explanation of war between Sparta and Athens he wrote “What made war inevitable was the growth of Athenian Power and the fear which this caused in Sparta”. In other words war was started by the then resident power, Sparta, out of fear of a rising power Athens, because Spartans were afraid that Athenians would take over as the dominant power. In current scenario you can replace Sparta with America and Athens with China. Professor Graham presents about a dozen historical cases to support his theory of Thucydides Trap. There are other scholars, like Arthur Waldron who refute his theory. But the fact of the matter is that there is an economic war going on between US and China which might lead to actual war. Surely both America and China are fully aware of Thucydides Trap. So what is going on?


Imagine two shops, located opposite to each other doing some business. Each has its own products but for some, each is dependent upon the other. Nevertheless both are doing good business and making good money. Is there a logical reason that either of the two would want to burn down the other? NO. Until and unless there is a third party that wants to start a fight between them so that they both are destroyed. That third party is Israel.
Before you dismiss this as a typical blame the Jews theory, think about it. American grain silos are bursting with previous year's crop, Trump gave 16 Billion dollars to American farmers to subsidize them for the loss of sale to China (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/23/trump-to-give-16-billion-to-farmers-hurt-by-trade-war-sonny-perdue.html ). American chip makers would suffer huge loss due to restrictions on sale to Huawei and China can retaliate by blocking sale of rare earth minerals. Similarly Chinese economy would also suffer. As a consequence the global economy is expected suffer an estimated loss of $600 Billion. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-us-china-trade-war-economic-fallout/. So the question is, what is in it for Israel? why would they want these two giants to fight?
For that you have to understand the world according to Jews and the status of Israel in this world. According to Jewish tradition they are the chosen people of God, and everyone else is a Goyim and as such not worth much (https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-sefi-rachlevsky-bibi-and-the-goyim-1.5239299). As I wrote in my previous article (http://nadeemchaudhry.blogspot.com/2019/05/saudi-iran-war-is-inevitable.html ) war between Iran and Saudi Arabia is another attempt to set the world on fire to achieve the goal of Greater Israel.
[ Here an aside note to Modi and his enthusiastic supporters who think Netanyahu is a great friend and Israel is a natural ally in their anti-Muslim hysteria. Whatever I may say about Jews but one thing is for sure they are very monotheistic and as such consider you, Hindus, filthy pagans. Here is an actual Jewish law pertaining to you.

You can get it verified from any Jewish scholar.  A Jewish student of mine once told me that besides synagogue the only other place of worship they are allowed to visit is a mosque. I asked him why, because mosques are free of pictures and idols, he said. So dear Modi they will dump you in a blink of an eye and not think about it even once if it serves their purpose.]
You might be thinking that yes Israel is powerful but not that powerful to be a superpower. I mean they are just 0.1% of the world population with a minuscule piece of occupied land how can they become a superpower. Consider Britain, how big it was when it started world conquest? What did Britain have which allowed her to become superpower of its time? Navy. British Navy allowed the tiny island to control global trade. In today’s world it is software which controls all economic activity, from internet based transactions down to the speed controllers of individual motors in factories to drops of water on farms. Whoever has the keys to the internet and software has the control. It does not matter whether you use your laptop, mobile phone, tablet etc to get on the internet. What matter is the security, and that is where Israel has a unique advantage. At least 20% of the global IT security corporations are registered in Israel. It is like if Israel owned 20% of the global naval power in Victorian times. But even this number does not tell the complete story. When you do financial work or any security related work using your browser you might have noticed https in the URL or link. The s in https stands for secure which is fundamentally based upon an algorithm known as RSA and RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman all three are Jewish, even though the company they formed is registered in America. I don’t know how many math professors in Pakistan understand the mathematics involved in RSA, I for sure don’t. A few years ago Israel destroyed 20 percent of Iranian centrifuge machines by infecting the motor speed controllers (https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/the-worlds-first-digital-weapon-stuxnet/7926298 ). All of it without getting even a paper cut to a single Israeli soldier. 
I am not saying all Jews are blood sucking parasites ( the guy who taught me programming was a Jew and a very nice person ). But the current state of Israel and the people running it are most certainly on a messianic mission to create Greater Israel, build the Third Temple and wait for their prophet ( known as Moshiach in their terminology ) to arrive and rule the world from that temple. In their mind they are doing all this is to bring global peace. If this explanation is not correct then please provide an alternative version which explains current global events in a comprehensive manner.

Huawei is selling out its deep sea Internet cable business. But Israel has far less population of Jews than the UK to conquer the world. So far the US has sacked all the dictators in middle east except Syria and KSA.
By the way, Israel is providing cyber weapons to those Arab countries which have stopped supporting the Palestine issue. A recent example of cyber weapon was the WhatsApp buffer overflow attack through WhatsApp missed call (developed by an Isareli software company), reported just after the US landed its naval fleet in the Gulf.
Perhaps now they want to end the dictatorship in Iran.
If the prophesy says that the greater Israel is to be formed then how or why we should stop it ?

I would like to address your question at the end there, especially the 'why' aspect of it. The reason is simple. Yes, we are ill prepared to face the enemy, yes we are grossly under-equipped in terms of military power, allies, wealth, etc. But what we have is a worldview that is the exact opposite of what they don't. You and I, as Muslims iA, believe that we will one day die and be answerable to the One who created us. And at that time you and I will be questioned about our role in all of this, no.matter.the.result.of.our.efforts. No matter if we lose this war, or our lives. You and I measure success in terms of being able to answer Allah that, "Yes, my Rabb, I fought to the last breath, I sacrificed my pleasures for you, I shared the message with those who are asleep, I did not give into to the greatest fitna our species has ever known. I did not stand on the side, and wonder why we should stop it. I did not remain quiet when I witnessed the gravest of 'zulm' being carried out on humanity. So today, on this last day, please let me join my brothers and sisters who fought for You in any way they could, and allow us to enter Jannah. In sha Allah.

That is why, brother in Islam, you should attempt to stop it. You should do your part.

We can not stop the fate from happening I guess. We have to stop this mindset of preventing Israel. We have to prepare and be ready for the battle to come afterwards.
I believe that the Palestinian and Arabs are responsible for their being overcome by the Israel. But then again, this was bound to happen.
I guess we have to rethink of how prepared we are as compared to them. After all the world has come to an end one day. We have to prepare our minds for the Armageddon. I hope the Jews are preparing for that. Another question is, how will a few million Jews will take up and control the greater Israel ? They would need allies. We can only delay the process but can not avoid it.

AoA,
The comment by Raven Khan is correct. I don't know him but his idea is inline with what we are supposed to do in all such situations, i.e fight 'zulm' with what ever resources we have been given by Allah. We are not answerable for the outcome, just the effort we put in it. If you look from worldly perspective America should not be begging Taliban for reconciliation. Most modern military machine in the history of mankind, with 50+ countries supporting it, is defeated by probably the most ill-equipped opponent.

What type of effort are we talking about ? Greater Israel map not (as yet) contain Pakistan. It rather contains the Arab countries who do not require any help from civilians of Pakistan or India or Bangladesh. Instead, a few Arab countries are having or going to have good ties with Israel.
By the way the Taliban were trained/helped by Pakistan army, CIA and Israel to defeat USSR. Then they turned against their helpers. Formally the Great Britain and USSR got huge economic losses due to fight in Afghanistan and now the US got the same.
We are civilians, we can not fight except when the Armageddon will occur.
