mmm starcluster ..watso had a peep to see who you were arguing with ... mmm watso's good made tangs..(who watso has on ignore) ..
just a gentle hint from watso - but you will never win an argument against tangs.. tangs is the font of all wisdom/knowledge .. he understands the intricies of geopolitics better than anybody ...
indeed, the only reason that watso has his good mate on ignore - is that tangs would always embarrass watso.. it was easier just to put his mate on ignore, than to argue with him and be humiliated ..
mmm spheres of influence .. america's sphere of influence is the whole world .. where they develop partnerships with freedom and democracy advocates in those countries .. eg ukraine ..indeed look how america operated in ukraine .. victoria nuland handing out cookies in the maidan ...
indeed, tangs is right, the economy of russia is too small to support the military .. indeed watso's other good mate ie hombre cara she would often write that the russian economy was barely larger than the australian economy .. naturally she is on watso's ignore list for the same reason as tangs
in the australian rule book - only one country is allowed to be friendly in australia's sphere of influence .. mmm australia did cut back on all this friendly aid under the conservative government
It follows a period last decade when Australia’s foreign aid dwindled due to budget cuts under the conservative Liberal party, which was in government from 2013 to 2022. During this time, Canberra’s relationship with Pacific island countries soured.
mmm maybe australia is trying to expand its sphere of influence to include ukraine .. after all australia has supplied about $1bn of friendly aid which includes plenty of bushies blah blah ..
((personally watso thinks that the victoria nuland approach would have been more effective .. how about truck loads of crackers (chinese made) and cheese (maybe from aldi) ... see thread started by watso in the food & nutrition forum .. Post #: 75256717) )
