@Topo I agree.

NL has no credibility or sound track record to comment on anything profound. He/she's fanciful two- or three-sentence remarks lack convincing cohesive commentary and astute people can see right through it.

What if you could provide a post with a more detailed analysis of his/her ideas? I’m sure we would all enjoy hearing it. But maybe that's the point, to just touch the surface without delving into depth because that would expose vulnerabilities and ultimately the full truth.

While he/she is at it, can he/she comment on the following thought:The reason so many Australian businesses are in Africa is seldom questioned. The Europeans are closer to the resources, so why aren't their geologists and stakeholders prepared to be all over it?

The answer is not because Australians are better geologists, but rather because they are perceived as less dangerous 'diplomatically', i.e, Aussies are percieved as neutral and nothing else. Unfortunately, that is not working out because Africa is proving it’s not ready to be a secure line of supply for another of reasons.
