AC you make theoretical claims without any factual evidence.

Australia's future nuclear propelled submarines don't need to be nuclear armed.

They will be defending US nuclear armed missile submarines (SSBNs)
at a cost of only A$368 Billion dollars, mainly sent overseas to the US and eventually the UK.

In the meantime, till 2053, we can forget spending too much on non-military luxuries like

medical care, aged care, childcare, education or roads.

The thought of 8 nuclear propelled submarines, each averaging $40 Billions, will keep us healthy in our new shanties of hospitals.

AC, is it possible for you to stop posting outright lies?

China's manufacturing capacity is not greater than the US and EU combined. And many of the high-value products are designed in the US and EU.

China is a bigger threat to Russia than it is to the west and the two countries have already fought a war. China is eyeing eastern Russia, and after the Russian army has been beaten to scrap, China can take this without a fight, and the West is not coming to Russia's defense.

Hi Josephus,
"AC you make theoretical claims without any factual evidence."
- What, precisely are you referring to"

NATO
http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/declassified_137930.htm
>>Lord Hastings Lionel Ismay was NATO’s first Secretary General, a position he was initially reluctant to accept. By the end of his tenure however, Ismay had become the biggest advocate of the organisation he had famously said earlier on in his political career, was created to “keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”<<

Coloured Revolutions / attempted coups in Turkey, Belarus, Georgia and Kazakhstan, may take some time to go into.

Nordstream, Have you read Seymour Hersh's article?
Or maybe you believe the Western 'Gilligan's Island' 'SS Minnow' narrative?
Which they only came out with to counter Sy Hersh's article.

I heard some German minister suggested that 'fisherman' may have done it the other day, maybe you believe that?

Hi Shadowminister
What have I lied about?
There's always a basis to everything I say on this forum.

As far as Chinese industrial manufacturing capacity being greater than the US and EU combined, that's what I've been told, though I don't understand the exact methodology behind the claim, but I'll try to find out.
I don't think the calculation was given in terms of actual value.
But the impacts of the energy crisis are seeing more European businesses turn to China.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202209/1275701.shtml

"Companies doing cross-continental businesses are shifting the focus of their supply chains from Europe to China due to cost rise and energy shortage in Europe. Due to geopolitical factors, many European companies are now transferring orders from local factories to Chinese suppliers, or simply building their own factories in China, which has been resilient despite global turbulences, industry insiders said. Some Chinese businesspeople said the orders from European clients jumped by 20 percent this month."

The West has destroyed themselves in Ukraine, bringing Russia, China, BRICS and SCO closer; and the SVB crisis crossed over into Europe

Maybe it has something to do with this, and it's old data.
http://www.statista.com/chart/20858/top-10-countries-by-share-of-global-manufacturing-output/

Clearly China in 2019 had more manufacturing output than US, Germany, Italy, France and the UK combined, and that was 4 years ago.

Funny. People in the know say that China’s economy is stalling; but the site's CCP representative says it's "going ahead in leaps and bounds". I'll stick with the former, who undoubtedly would know it was the Boer War, not the Boar War the ignoramus is yapping about, and the stuff about fighting on beaches and in trenches came from Winston Churchill during WW11. And "ttbn" has said on several occasions that EVERYBODY would be involved in a war with China.

The general rule with this Paul 1405 character is: whatever he says, the exact opposite is true.

AC, who hates the West, and gets more irrelevant with every post, is probably a person of interest to ASIO - or scrutiny by Australia 's National Mental Health Strategy might be more appropriate.
