Re: NATO & World War 3
James, many Chinese have taken over small farms mainly agricultural where the locals no longer want manual work.
They won shops and many businesses in some areas but all are welcomed into the community, but that is an Australian trait, do well and you will become one of us.
We are a nation of immigrants starting in 1788 and still counting.
Lord Mayor of Melbourne some years ago was Chinese, very popular and did a great job, far better than the dozey head female we currently have.

I had a good mate from Cumbernauld called Di Ciacca, good engineer and great guy, but he disappeared years ago without warning. cod knows what happened.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Just back to Putin!
Report
“Putin is facing defeat across Ukraine,” Mr Bassi told Sky News Australia.
“From Kharkiv to Kherson.
“It does mean that the key concern is – what does that mean Putin will do? How will he escalate?”
Now although this is good news to a Point, as said where and also what will Putin do next!
This to me is a very dangerous position that he is now in, and i think not ony my thoughts but many acros the World are thinking the same thing!!
Is this getting him very very close to using his Nuclear Arms!? Not a very nice thought but a very high possibility now, as by all accounts he is no a Person to be beaten or back down!
Let us hope that this will not happen, as it will for sure ruin our entire Planet and Population! I say no more!!!

Re: NATO & World War 3
Latest from Russia certainly shows that Putin is determined to have a go at the West.
He wants to reinstate the old Russia and claims the West was attempting to colonize Russia.
There are also now serious doubts as to his mental state which is of far great concern than his war efforts.
It is also claimed the 500,000 concscripts is in fact closer to 1.5illion even taking farm hands in.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Well, Russia is pushing out propaganda everyday, false allegations etc, maybe we should fight with like weapons, we could put out on the media that Putin is one of the old bum bandits as he seems so anti, that might bring his status down a bit, would be interesting,

Re: NATO & World War 3
A bit of mind games here0 I think.
He would have to be a complete idiot to think he could use nuclear weapons without retaliations from the west.
He is not a complete idiot but it is obvious there are some bits missing.

Re: NATO & World War 3
He is not alone , he has a large entourage who also think as he does . Maybe more so than him. Who knows ? Only the Intelligence of other countries services and they are not going to indulge in telling the general public and causing possible panic. Unfortuanetley we have to rely on the media and they will only know what ever government want them to know , they in their turn will embellish to suit their own selfs , so the less they know the better. Best we just stay as muffins and hope there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and hope it’s not radioactive. JS

Re: NATO & World War 3
Well something may be brewing.
The USA is to locate 6 B 52 bombers to the defense airport in Darwin.
Are they loaded?
All depends what China does with Taiwan
