Thanks for this conversation.

The hysterical response by the entire Australian MSM and political class at the announcement by China of a missile launch just proves its point. Imagine thinking Albanese signing a bit of paper was the trigger for a very expensive missile.

The Mayor of Marrickville (Albanese) and Undersecretary to the Department of War (Marles) sound unhinged claiming a single missile Is destabilising, when they pursue the $368 billion in nuclear submarines which is a true threat to the region.

Finally some sense about China, the absolute drivel being blabbered by Captain Genocide and his henchman Marles is sickening

Great discussion fellows - needs wider circulation. Perhaps the world could be saved from the US's deadly death throes if the US domestic economy repeated a collapse similar to that of 1929.

Perhaps then the reality of the damage inflicted by utterly corrupt oligarchic neocons would be so dire that impoverished US masses would revolt sufficiently to force fundamental change.

A US depression (seemingly unavoidable now) would be catastrophic to all 'the west's' peoples - however it would starkly display the incapacity of such a broken nation to successfully wage major war. Maybe then the US would 'pull its head in' with the foreign aggravations and concentrate on problems at home.

They say it's easy to lie when people either wish the lie was true, or are afraid that it is true. Personal experience bears out that fear-mongering brings out the worst in people, but on the bright side, people are not stupid, and as far as there's a national characteristic, healthy scepticism may be it
