I RESENT THIS, TO NO END!

@whowasthatmaskedman True! The division is rife! You still live in a crap box, even with our support! 🤷🏻

@Oster1 But its a better class of crapbox, with universal health cover that doesnt rip people off and a university fee scheme that doesnt bankrupt you for getting an education..And they dont stop people voting. In fact they insist on it.. And my grandkids can go to school and I can go to the movies or shopping without worrying about getting shot. I'll take it...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Ok! For now, you all need us to keep from, the Chinese making you all freaking slaves, no???

@Oster1 Ummm.. The Chinese arent our enemies. In fact they are our biggest trading Partner. (and as it happens , my daughter in law is Singapore Chinese, so we will be fine...)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman You know, exactly what I meant! Who are the miners, in the North, working for? 🙂

@Oster1 Australian companies that have contracts with China.. And EU countries for gas, shortages caused by Russia. Look, I get your point as well. However, the Chinese are well practiced in the art of economic warfare. In that they are soon to defeat America and become the superpower. But in doing so they know that as long as we supply to them trade with them and buy from them, they are way better off NOT threatening our security. Just chucking in a few tariffs and trade limits if we dont see things their way...But it ends up costing them as well..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Your argument, is plausible, standing on its merits. The Chinese economy is near destruction, like us all! Never, ever underestimate them, as well the US!

@Oster1 Actually while the Chinese economy is it trouble with its real estate Ponzi schemes and ghost cities, they are actually in a far better position to deal with that than America would be. First, there willo be no bail outs. So the only people to lose money will be those who risked it. And they wont have anyone to cry to.. Second they still have an internal market of nearly a billion people who aspire to be middle class..And those people will still want TV, fridges and cars.. And they dont owe over $30 Trillion to overseas countries.. The good news for America is that this may postpone China choosing to Crush the Petrodollar until they are through their own rough patch..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman BRICS, will take care of that! The fools in my country, pulled their drawers down and bent over. Yours, did as well!!!

@Oster1 The difference being we still have $h*t to sell that we dont need to countries that can afford to pay for it.. Other than military hardware and commercial aircraft America doesnt have a lot..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman WTF, are you saying? What do you have to sell, that we don't?

@whowasthatmaskedman Shortages caused by Russia? Get real, man!

@whowasthatmaskedman I have never seen a more American hating fool, on this site, like you!!!

@Oster1 Shoulda gone to Specsavers! I dont suppose you remember Russia cutting the gas flow in their pipelines to western Europe for the northern winter..I do. It caused Australia to ship and sell enough gas for export to cause shortages here..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman NEVER!!!

@Oster1 You should get out more ..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I'm out more, than you ever have been. so connected and so in touch...😊👍🏻

@Oster1 Good for you. I hope you show a profit. I have enough...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Not boasting, at all! 😊

@Oster1 Maybe a little. But its as much by good luck as good management.😷
