Pauliar,

I know you struggle with concepts but most bloggers survive through advertising, which most people skip through. While much of this information you could glean from such as The Wall Street Journal, this Joe Blogs is particularly good at condensing the recent events into a 15-minute synopsis. Not all his blogs focus on China but given the crisis in China affects the whole world, it is worth a mention from time to time.

However, if you want to spend hours ploughing through high brow articles you can. Or as I mentioned before, there are plenty of alternate sources.

I am reasonably confident that not only do I have a clear idea of what is happening in China, but also that you are clueless. If you can disprove anything he posts please do so, otherwise, stop being a crybaby.

Here is another off the cuff thought !
Re more boots on the ground in Ukraine;
What if those boots belonged to a country not a NATO member, perhaps
not even European ?
Putin could not blame US, NATO or EU.
Ideally it should be a UN Peace Enforcing armed force.

UN, who or what is that ?
Seems to be name I heard some while back.
Has it ever done anything useful so we might remember it ?

The "Wall Street Journal" how mainstream can you get. shonky who was that "blabber" you were pushing from YouTube, he wasn't worth wasting 15 minutes of my life, so I cut him short.

ttbn, as per usual I missed your opening sentence, in fact I missed your opening post all together, see above about wasting ones life. Lowy Institute I'll give you that, they tend to do a bit of research before pontificating on something or other, unlike shonky and his "blabber". I laughed once, but lets have a second crack-up;

"I (shonkyminister) am reasonably confident that not only do I have a clear idea of what is happening in China" The laughs are never ending, Jesus Christ, YOU wouldn't have a clear idea of which way to put your undies on in the mornings, do you still stick em' on your head?

Paul,

You missed the post altogether, yet you can criticise it. You are certifiable: too crazy to bother with.

ttbn, don't be so hard, having read your post it seems rather creditable, and its not one of those long diatribes over several efforts that the kudos kid likes to stick us with. AND, I was shocked to hear your vote ended up in the Labor pile in the SA election, after the obligatory kissy, kissy, with the Lovely Pauline first, but you're getting there.

Pauliar,

Stop being a fwit crybaby. First, you say the information is not in the MSM and then when I refer to the WSJ you say that I'm being too mainstream? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. I think that in a dictionary when they define a moron, they should include your photo.

If you don't like the blog of a financial advisor to whom nearly 50 000 people subscribe, and refuse to even watch the video or even try and educate yourself then you are not just stupid, you are deliberately choosing to be stupid.

Here's a blog from a financial analyst living in China who takes the daily financial information available in China and sums it up.

Or perhaps you could for the first time provide a link to something relevant.
