Mhaze.

Oh, just in passing, I’ve mentioned before on these pages; Australia has a need to set a new course starting with the exploration of US citizens, Nationalise their Au assets and kiss old sleepy Joes backside goodbye, before he sells us out to the Chinese; just like he sold the Israelis out to the Islamic Terrorists.

Keep up to date mate!

"I have nil to no patience with the dead thinkers of the day, that see no problems with n Alliance continuing with the US."

- About time we got stated thinking things out properly.

"Staying engaged with the US as currently is, can only be calamitous for Australia, as it obviously is with the current disasters of the Ukraine and Israeli war as evidence of US meddling."

- The point everyone misses, the elephant in the room
The problem with relying on the United States for defence;
- is that one must also become subservient to US policy.
That might not be so bad, if America was not trying to commit suicide, and to take us with them.
(They can't do it without our help)

"And speaking of aspirational, there is historical evidence of how to play the superpowers against each other, and come out winning. We should have no loyalty to any of them outside of OUR own best interest, and currently that is not blindly following US dictates of the lunatics unleashed in Washington."

- Well, hooray for fecking Australia.
Someone else here finally bloody woke up.
I'm no longer sitting in the corner like an idiot by myself, yay.

WEST PANIC: Saudi-US Mega Deal Falls Apart, China Achieves Global Shipbuilding Dominance
http://youtu.be/0OE3_7Nyy38

Fun Fact: Chinese shipbuilding is 232 times that of the United States
Fun Fact: Chinese shipbuilding accounts for more than 50% of the global market
Fun Fact: China has more naval vessels than the US

There was once a time when you couldn't trust a chinese spanner, but now look - entire fleets of ships!

The US wants to control trade with sanctions...
But who has all the resources and industry, and China has advanced in technology.

http://www.aspi.org.au/report/critical-technology-tracker
"China’s global lead extends to 37 out of 44 technologies that ASPI is now tracking, covering a range of crucial technology fields spanning defence, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials and key quantum technology areas."

Do you also know that China has had advancements in chipmaking since that report (because of US sanctions) and now China has cancelled purchases of billions of US owned chips.

So it looks like 'Globalism' is off the menu and we're headed towards protectionism.
Is the US going to attempt to Re-Industrialise?

We don't need leaders like Albo dancing around blissfully over hydrogen.
Whatevers going on in the world during these changing times we need to become more self sufficient.
We need a crapload of cheap energy either nuclear if we are to compete in anything.
China are the world leaders.
You need to accept that the CCP might be here to stay, and stop trying to piss them off.
At the same time, we make clear that we don't let them tread on our balls.
And for that, we need a leader that actually has a pair.

You want to know the west part of all?
It's not that the chinese are smarter, it's that the west have proven themselves more dumber and stupid.
The only real difference is that they have a plan, and we don't.
- Because we're a nation lead by idiots.

Nimbins probably gone broke since the government started opening up weed dispensaries everywhere.
They do sell some nice candles though.

Hi AC,

Nah, our candle business went belly up shortly after ScumO' shirt fronted President Ginsling about tossing dim sums at our navy boys (and girls, don't forget the girls) doing a recon, climbing over the Great Wall into Ginslings back yard! They were in international waters at the time. Anyway, Xiy got the you know what's, and wack'd a 10,000% tariff on our candles. We retaliated likewise with a 10,000% tariff on the Special Fried Rice, down at the Golden Dragon, but it didn't seem to work, they wouldn't even talk to Birms, not even on Snap Chat! Want to buy a candle...or 10? Albo's seemed a nice guy, you'd think he'd toss in a bill or three our way, to save the Ninbin Candle industry from lights out!..... I thought that was going to be the centre piece of last nights budget, think of all those struggling hippies, like me, it would have saved!

AC

Nimbin.

LOL

The northern rivers of nsw , has the highest collection of weed smoking hippy real estate tycoons in Au.
They made little to nil contribution to society, outside of sitting crossed legged in the shade of the local Ashram over the past fifty years, watching their goat blocks turn them into multi-millionaires.

It’s such an aspirational dream for the losing class of today, as the area now sports the highest rate of homlessness, along with its desperado lifestyles, and permanent riot squads in key locations, keeping the lid on the pressure cooker.
How times change!

And as for the over comfortable classes carping on above, extolling the virtues of the most corrupt and failing Banan Republic on earth, the US, I shake my head to them!
