@gregjamesbarton Get w/ the times Greg! Its Christo-fascism. The same reason why Scomo rotates the flag to the St George of England's cross NOT the Star of Federation as in @AustralianLabor pressers

@brucerossbrc Totally agree w/ a lack of pomp & ceremony but Sweden is still a lapdog of the UK-US. Not even holding an inquiry into the 1961 assassination of "modern Europe's favourite son", star diplomat & UNSG Dag Hammarskjold en route to Peacetalks in Congo shows how compromised they are!
@Rory_Medcalf /2 China's status as a great power needs to be recognised. All China is wanting to do is control a *corner of one ocean. The US controls two oceans.
Also observe at how many US bases ring China in its China Containment Policy unfolding since the Meiji Restoration 1857 in Japan.
@Rory_Medcalf /1 Show of force, Rory to counter Morrison's aggressive posturing in the Solomons - nothing more, nothing less.
Recall that the #SCS was plied by Chinese junks for millennia before the Spanish, French colonies of Philippines & Indo-China even became independent nations.
@LyleShelton Please don’t spread your hate and suspicion toward other groups of
G-d's children, Lyle. This is simply not the way Jesus would ask us to behave. We need to live by His rules - not by our own fears. #wwjdnow
Is it so hard for Morrison just to name it for what it is. Not just ugly. But a fascist, racist rally. 1,000,000 Australians enlisted in the last war to defeat fascism. 30,000 died. 75 years later our policy should be zero tolerance.That demands leadership https://t.co/GEF95jQblY

@paulinehollywoo@theage which don’t really change that much
Although, even on a PPP basis the Russian economy is only worth around the same as Germany’s (population 83 million) or just over 20% of the US's GDP.
A few other facts about Russia can be found here:

@paulinehollywoo@theage is to use purchasing power parity (PPP). On this basis Russia looks much better with an economy of $4 trillion, making it 6th largest in the world.
This is far larger than the combined PPP GDPs of the Netherlands ($908 billion), Belgium ($529 billion) & Luxembourg ($64 billion)
