The Chinese are now pushing bsck on accepting coal as well - well, why don’t we pull the pin on sending them iron ore ? We supply 62% of their demand and they can’t get it (quality or quantity) elsewhere. s**t starting to get real...

Isn't that sorta, kinda, like what happens when you bight the hand that feeds you?
Rather than follow a neutral diplomatic path Australia couldn't help but demonstrate that we will always be the US's eternally faithful servile lackey. (Well at least until the next world dominant power comes along provided we aren't incorporated into a certain chain of archipelagos beforehand.)

And how can you have a diplomatic relationship if the Chinese won’t entertain basic communication?
WhSt they are doing is straight from 2nd grade bully school - in fact, if China was a man and Australia a woman, China would be in court for abuse.

Hey mate, don't fret it. Trade talks with Japan to take up the slack on the coal, are already underway, and the Chinee are not vely imprlessed. As for the iron ore, not even the Chinee can make A grade steel from A grade ore, without A grade coking coal. If they want to cut off their nose to spite their face, have at it, I say.

this OB I can strongly agree with, s**t can their lease, they are never ever going to do anything remotely environmentally sound there, they are never going to respect the law and heritage of the place, they do not respect australians or our nations interests, anyone who has travelled and is being honest knows that these are not the kind of people you want going to a pristine area especially a national park.

and yet the progressives will tell you different
eg.. China is doing a great job at getting their carbon emissions down and should be the world leader in "the great reset"


what l do find funny is seeing sergeant hartman and cz515 on the same page :lol: hilarious :lol: :drinks:

China "doing a great job with emissions" haha yeah, with their hundreds of new coal powered electric stations built in the last two years, and their rampant uptake of oil and lpg, yeah they're doing wonders for contributing to co2 emissions. lol.

I have relatives and friends who live there, (aunt is chinese and some friends of mine who are pilots work there training chinese pilots), and at the height of the covid lockdowns and all the "satellite" imagery showing the smog disappearing, meanwhile the actual witnesses on the ground there will tell you it was business as usual for manufacturers and power generation and so on, and the smog never budged one inch.

As far as a physical war goes, without going nuclear china will get chopped, theyre surrounded by enemies and rely on over 90% imported food and water. the only allies they have is North Korea and a few other plebs, most notably the russians, who are a bigger threat in reality as they have more experience as a an adversary.

most of the muslim states hate china, especially since they have been putting muslims in concentration camps, and pretty much all of the rest of asia either distrust them or hate them... not to mention powers of the west...

See the latest headlines on Yahoo,,,, Sinister speculation over China's "bioweapons" plan.

Seems like I wasn't far off the mark when I first penned this topic.

Ohh and i am surprised i forgot malarky the enoughgun emoji warrior.

Btw i was reading the latest SSAA magazine it talks about toxoplasmosis and how it can effect metal health of a sufferer. While there are no cures once cysts form but maybe you should get yourself checked out, you have changed this year. Compared to your posts last year where you were a much nicer person.

Maybe its toxoplasmosis, maybe its crona, maybe it's Maybelline :sarcasm:

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: more important geopolitical analysis. Ok here is something Russia is not a pleb, Pakistan and india are life long enemies, America supports India, and China supports Pakistan. So that's one country. Similarly Iran is more in bed with China than America at the moment. That's another Muslim country. And there are plenty of African countries supporting China. Then even some Middle Eastern countries are being influenced by china (with vaccine trials)... time will tell which way they go.. but i recon it will be America. Still Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, UAE, what do they do, their population combines is probably less than population of Brisbane.

pakistan and iran aside you list some ****** that couldnt scratch their own ass, I dont think they are even moderately a threat.

Im sorry eddie, but our "media" was spruiking chinas wonderful efforts in containing the virus and spruiking also that there were no cases in beijing or shanghai, yet my brother in law in his multi million dollar apartment in an affluent suburb of shanghai was, like thousands of others, literally welded into his apartment and forced to live on the mere rations they had in pantry good as NO ONE was even allowed to get food or water...

if you dont know the truth or anyone who lived it mate, just makes you uninformed. not holier than thou.

holy sh!t you're an idiot.

Brother in Law is gay, married to a chinaman, lives in shanghai, Aunt is Singapore-Malay Chinese, her Mothers side live in Zhongshan province. Mates of mine also teach at a flight school/academy in beijing. Not that I need to prove anything to your idiot self.

again if you don't know the truth of something you're better off keeping your uninformed mouth shut... You clearly know exactly f_ck all about any of what goes on there, just another idiot playing smart on the internet.

And the plot thickens even more. Mate don't you need to go build a few (imaginary) sheds


Long time ago i was in a country town working and saw an intoxicated indigenous person stumbling along the path. Out come a yell (derogatory term) from a guy nearby. I looked at him and he replied its ok mate i have a few indigenous friends and they call him that as well.

your dealing with a Trol Ziege who is baiting you so he can get you to call him names that he will report and you will either be given a warning or banned

ask him why we never see anything shooting/hunting from him? or why he keeps changing his name? and he asks for you to prove yourself :crazy:

ignore the lefty plant pest and he may go away ;)
