Australia has developed into one of the most prosperous
nations on Earth. It's politically safe and economically
stable and is a great destination for foreign investment.
Australia does not have a long history of military coups.
We don't have rampant corruption and incompetence and
we're not politically a volatile basket case.

Our institutional and cultural foundations, which include
parliamentary democracy, the impartial administration of
the rule of law, respect for the rights of the individual,
including private property rights all should explain why
Modern Australia is not Argentina and should be celebrated
as such.

We are lucky to be living in this country. As I've said
time and time again.

Argentina was a prosperous country before Albanese, oops, Peron took over. It's economy was larger than that of Canada and Australia. It was one of the world's wealthiest countries, in the top ten wealthiest per capita.

Peron put a stop to that, just as Albanese is now doing in Australia.

At least Argentina now has the chance of getting back to what it was, with the new president. Whereas Australia, under Albanese, is going in the direction that Argentina went after 1946.

Stupid people just don't get what trouble Australia really is in, blinded by dogmatic communistic dogma and lies, and their own stupity
as they are.

Fact is Argentina continues to be a victim of its unstable SPANISH colonial heritage.

While Australia continues to benefit from its stable British Westminster System heritage.

Even the US could have ended up like Argentina but for the US developing from the British Westminster System.

Though unfortunately the US brought in a Presidential aspect which is one reason for the appalling choice between a Demagogue [1] and a Codger today.

Ignorance is the absence of knowledge.
Stupidity is the refusal to acquire or accept it.

Hi Maverick (Mavs),

Thanks for the link.

Look what's happening in the US.

Will Trump get elected?

I watched some of the Oscars. A documentary about
Ukraine won an Oscar. It was a very emotional
speech from the filmmaker. Will Ukraine still
be around under Trump?

Hi Foxy

1. Follow the money is one approach. According to current Sportsbet odds http://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2024-5479667 these convert to:

Trump having a 52% chance of winning

and

Biden only having a 38% chance

2. The Guardian reports http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/11/trump-ukraine-war-viktor-orban

"Donald Trump “will not give a penny” to Ukraine if he is re-elected US president, the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, said after a controversial meeting [on 10 March 2024] with Trump in Florida...Therefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.”

Orban is close to Trump and Putin.

..."Calling Trump “a man of peace”, Orbán said: “If the Americans don’t give money and weapons, along with the Europeans, the war is over. And if the Americans don’t give money, the Europeans alone can’t finance this war. And then the war is over.” (This would likely mean Ukraine losing the war to Russia.)"

ie. If Trump wins Ukraine will be forced to surrender on Russia's terms.
