shadowminister,

Firstly you calling me a liar will be the least significant thing that has occurred to me on this forum.

You have zero credibility to be given any regard on that matter at all.

Your pathetic and utterly incorrect attempted correction of Foxy read:

"For starters, the Robodebt was first publically(sic) announced Mid 2016 and did not start before that, so it would have been difficult to include it in the 2015/6 budget. I think the ABC screwed up again."

Yet here is the announcement in May 2015.

"The Government will cut $1.6 billion out of the welfare budget over four years in an aggressive pursuit of claims fraud and historical debtors.

In the budget's second-biggest projected savings measure, compliance officers in the Department of Human Services will be pursuing outstanding debts from 2010-2013, and investigating cases of fraud."

How was this to occur? Through Morrison's already formulated scheme.

Give it away, the horse is dead already.

Hey Aiden,
"Upholding international law is more important than short term economic considerations."

What international law?
The US carved off a chunk of Syria and has deprived them of food and been stealing their oil for 10 years.
they even were using Islamic State to try and remove Assad from power and even now they keep a chunk of Syria, hoping to have some leverage over Syria's future by using food as a weapon, and stealing their resources.

It's the rules-based-order where the US makes the rules, do as I say, not as I do.

"Standing firm against the evil you support will enable the world's military spending to be reduced in the future.

Pffft.. I'm scoffing at this.
The worlds finding out that they needed Russia more than Russia needed them.
The have the food and the fertilizer and the energy.

"Russian energy major Gazprom's stock jumped 31% on Wednesday to 267.25 rubles per share (just over $4.43) on the Moscow Exchange, following the company’s announcement of bumper profits and dividend payments to shareholders.

The gas giant said its board had recommended a dividend of 51.03 Russian rubles ($0.85) per ordinary share for the first half of 2022. In its first-half earnings report released on Tuesday, Gazprom announced a record 2.5 trillion rubles ($41.75 billion) in net profit."

The US thought it could start a war in Ukraine, keep killing Russian speaking citizens in Donbass for 8years via their Ukrainian proxy... keep poking the bear.
They thought a war would create an economic crisis which would in turn lead to a political crisis in Russia that might unseat Putin, but they miscalculated, and it's all gone horribly wrong.

China Is Quietly Reselling Its Excess Russian LNG To Europe

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/China-Is-Quietly-Reselling-Its-Excess-Russian-LNG-To-Europe.html

"Local media have said that Sinopec alone has sold 45 cargoes of LNG, or about 3.15mn tonnes. The total amount of Chinese LNG that has been resold is probably more than 4mn tonnes, equivalent to 7 per cent of Europe’s gas imports in the half year to the end of June.

Make no mistake: all of this 'excess' LNG was soured in part or in whole in Russia, but since it has been 'tolled' in China, it is no longer Russian. It is instead - drumroll - Chinese LNG.

The good news is that the 53 million tonnes that the bloc purchased surpasses imports by China and Japan and has brought Europe’s gas-storage occupancy rate up to 77%.If this continues, Europe is likely to reach its stated goal of filling 80% of its gas storage facilities by November (at which point it will start draining the reserves at a breakneck pace to keep warm during the winter). But while China’s economic slump has brought much-needed relief to Europe, it comes with a major footnote. As soon as economic activity bounces back in China, the situation will quickly reverse, and Beijing will no longer re-export Russia LNG to keep Europe warm.

Hilariously, it also means that instead of being dependent on Russia for gas, Europe is now becoming dependent on Beijing instead for its energy - which is still Russian gas, only this time imported from China - which makes a mockery of US geopolitical ambitions to defend a liberal international order with its own energy exports.

Worse, while Europe could buy Russian LNG for price X, it instead has to pay 2X, 3X or more, just to virtue signal to the world that it won't fund Putin's regime, when in reality is is paying extra to both Xi and to Putin, who is collecting a premium price thanks to the overall market scarcity."

All the West has done is destroy itself and made Russia and China wealthier.
How dumb can you be to sanction your own food and energy?

These EU people would have to be the dumbest people you can find.
Did they forget they sanctioned Russia themselves?
They we're the ones who proudly said they didn't want any more Russian gas or money going to Putin.

Have fun with your blackouts, hunger pains and cold showers this winter you idiots.
