Yes true there apachie, just knock out YouTube and you'd be all at seaApachebulldog wrote:Ha HA the American spuds dementia is getting worse.
Anyway back to the France and the subs.
Its been a debacle for the last 5 years i have followed this story from day one initially from memory Pyne had his finger prints all over it getting the sub deal it really was all about creating jobs and getting votes in SA for the Liberals.
Have listened to the experts most wanted Nuke subs from the start but the incompetent idiot beauracrats went with the French proposal diesel subs.
Any way for me its all a waste of money we now live in the age of drone warfare/ biological warfare/IT warfare etc if you want to paralyse the world take out all the communication satellites simple.

For China it's just an annoyance. They now have additional attention in the Asia Pacific. One area that China pretty much has free will to do as it pleases.shoe boy wrote:The Sabre rattling from the west is concerning , again we just bend over and become a puppet on a string.
Where is our visionary that can build infrastructure for the future of OUR country like a system to bring water from the north to our water systems that have run dry on occasions and only to get worse in coming years.
And am sure China must be shaking in there boots with the subs to be complete 20-30 years.

They have also indicated that recalling there ambassadors from the US and Australia is more than just about the subs deal. They have other issues with the US at the moment.
The French are a big player in Europe and the EU on both defence and trade. Australia and the US need to make sure that relationship is not soured.
The French also added that the contract being cancelled is one thing but they were also surprised when they were not apart of the defence strategy going forward as Australia is currently considered a key point in the Asia Pacific region in regards to China.

Yeah easily a 5% correction,might even cool this housing market just a tad.Trader wrote:stan wrote:And oh yeah big Chinese company about to go bang bang and default of 300b of debt, Booney was good end to make a topic about it. Reckon the global economy will feel this one.
$300b isn't insignificant, but then again it's 'only' 0.35% of the world economy. Will be interesting to see how many more dominos fall.
For comparison, the 2008 GFC saw roughly $9 trillion worth of defaults across a range of US companies.
A 5% dip in the Aussie market isn't an unlikely outcome, and on average occurs more than once a year, so we are due for a small correction anyway.
