The only investment the cia makes in Africa is the occasional assassination and a little spying on al-Qaeda.
China invests heavily in Africa.

Not a very compelling argument.

If you think trade embargoes work on international arms dealers thats so cute. Do you play with dolls ?

While wealthy US arms dealers are cashing in by selling the Ukranians weapons, enough will never be enough.....

a major business opportunity for the world’s largest defence contractors. Despite the risk of serious escalation, these companies continue to provide Ukraine with lethal aid so it can defend itself against Russia – for a price, of course.

and add to that the high stakes in energy and resources, the few are making a lot of money..... :allegedly:

What I read the other day 50% of the aid is for hardware, 50% is for paying wages of soldiers and defence contractors , er I mean mercenaries.

America is population is 330M , Ukraine is 43M. They won't be able to keep paying the army wages over an extended period.

You see people are really scared. So we need to scare them with the big bad wolf China and Xi

Ohh wait he hasn't don't much let's scare them with covid

Ohh covid is over.... umm ohh yeah putin attacked his neighbour a country 95% of people won't know the name of the capital or the name of their president before the war. Let's do that

Once putin is over we go back to China.


While all the sheeple keep getting scared the rich keep getting richer, the poor getting poorer and the middle class gets more in debt when they buy fancy houses and expensive used cars

In April 2014 Premier Mike Baird and Treasurer Andrew Constance announced that a “a consortium which comprises Hastings Funds Management and Chinese state-owned China Merchants” had successfully bid $1.75 billion for a 98-year lease of the Port of Newcastle.

In October 2015, the Chinese-owned Landbridge Group won the bid for a lease of Port Darwin. The then Country Liberal-controlled Northern Territory Government under then Chief Minister Adam Giles granted the company a 99-year lease for A$506 million.

Chinese state-owned enterprise Hunan Valin has done brilliantly out of its 11-year investment in Andrew Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group.

Energy Australia, which has 1.7 million customers, is owned by the China Light and Power Company after being sold off by the NSW liberal government for $1.4 billion in 2011. And Alinta Energy, which has 1.1 million customers, was sold by its private owners to Chow Tai Fook Enterprises for $4billion in 2017.

Liberal backbencher Gladys Liu has admitted she was a member of a Chinese government propaganda unit in a sudden shift in position that has deepened a dispute over her loyalty to Australia.


China has no reason to invade us, they own everything already.......

Ah, don't worry about it. Australia and Rio Tinto are going to grab Oleg Deripaska's 20% of the QLD smelter so the government can just appropriate any private assets whenever it likes.

Scomo the clown and General Potato keep telling us to prepare for for war whenever they spot a microphone nearby.
Um how ? :crazy :crazy:
With garden tools ? Maybe that's what they mean :unknown:
How exactly am I supposed to go about that without being arrested and detained indefinitely.
All kinds of illegal

First thing is to send some old bloke out there to give the Chinese a lecture on the OH&S standards in the Solomon Islands. That way it will bore them to death. Just like Vlad the Impaler, the sight of thousands of Chinese troops bored to death they will turn around as they want no part of it.

We have a resident OH&S expert on the forum.. maybe he will volunteer.... but I feel he will want to charge for 4 hours and only work 1 hour.

But it's OK the recent price hike and cost of living issues do not bother him.

Sorry I am a reformed non drinker. Dislike beer. I'll take the other (if my wife let me)


So in short I am stuffed, and politics is all I got to live 4

Good find. People just gloss over this. The reality is, the Azov told Zelensky to go back to Kiev and that's what he did. Now its blown up in his face.

The USA has repeatedly said they are not going to fund weapons for the Azov but hey, now its war and we'll just overlook that fact :roll:

Hard to type sarcasm


But Trump was awestruck with Putin. So probably we won't be seeking so much Ukraine support

GOP have been pushing to go much harder on Russia.
Not really following trump’s self interests nowadays ;)
Understand the russian’s have backed every enemy the US has faced since ww11.
Obviously that goes for us too. How many diggers have been killed by Russian supplied arms in the last 60 odd years.
So this is is just a teeny bit bigger than trumps bruised ego. :D

Anyone on Capitol Hill who’s not more that a little excited to watch Russia crumble would seriously need to question their patriotism.
And Russia initiating is its own demise was a gift horse no one could have dreamed of.
It’s really ensuring full co-operation in the capitol. It’s not about support for Ukraine. It’s about enabling Russia to destroy itself.
( With the added benefit of field testing America’s defense systems. )

Consider the prize. Russia will need to be disarmed. That’s 6,000 nuclear war heads out of service.
This is biggest step towards world peace in history. And its actually possible.

Well there is no need for US troops to get involved in this.

Supply the Ukrainians with what they need and grind the Russians down. The Russians wanted to walk down this road so let em bleed out doing so.

I believe part of Putin's reasons for this was to prevent his own regime change but rather it might accelerate it.

And yes we are testing for tomorrows battlefield with drones and man portable anti tank and aircraft missiles. The US Marine Corps has dumped it's tanks and has shifted in this direction already.

Dealing with Russia's nuke arsenal well that is a big problem. For one thing right now on Russian TV they are pushing nuclear war in desperation. When regimes talk this way they are not very stable.
