@SenatorWong Militarising a chunk of our industrial sector to produces arms and allowing America to have a leading hand in our military. How in heavens name will that help to create a more peaceful region ?
ASEAN leaders must be struggling to politely afford you credibility.
@DavidShoebridge America commits war crimes every single day. Senior leadership in America up to and including the president openly discuss and even celebrate the crimes they plan or perpetrate. And our Australian media rarely call them out, in fact generally they are neutral or lend support.
@SenRaffCiccone@PatConroy1@RichardMarlesMP Australians will spend $380 million per week on average on AUKUS every week for the next 20 years. And your crowing about a $2 million dollar contract - sheesh
@SenRaffCiccone@CapitalBrief@ayrestim@Charlton_AB Make sure we use the Chinese open source models then, rather than monopoly debt trap models of the United States.
God knows we will be dependent on someone, we’re not capable of building our own.
@SenRaffCiccone@AlboMP@ayrestim@Charlton_AB@thenightlyau@AusintheUS@USEmbAustralia Will certainly define all those things if we submit Australia to monopoly power of the U.S. - Define them in a supremely negative way for Australia. You genuinely appear to have no understanding at all of geopolitics and the U.S. professed intention of full spectrum dominance.
@SenRaffCiccone@MiltonDickMP America has a policy that they must win in any arrangement. Being equals is not an option. So given this what does America want from Australia in this so called sharing of challenges and opportunities?
Or did you just drink the American cool aid and fall hook line and sinker?
@SenRaffCiccone@RepRonnyJackson Did you talk about ways to improve mine and my neighbours prosperity and quality of life? Those fundamentals leaders should aspire to achieve.
@jojjeols Probably the big difference is China's GDP is largely based on manufacturing, exports, internal consumption and measurable productivity while the U.S. GDP is based on financial services which are often based on speculation of value rather than concrete productivity.
@benedictrogers Tibetan people are very pleased with the Chinese liberation - except for those very wealthy and privileged Tibetans and foreigners who did extremely well from exploiting the mass of the population.
@SenatorWong Can you help us with a dead and injured count in Iran over the last 24 hours? I’m super worried about the carnage America is spreading there thru its intentional targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.
