I'm not sure how you can draw a conclusion I was being flippant about WWIII, given I haven't passed any commentary about it. For the record, I am concerned about the aggression being displayed by China. That's not central to the discussion, however, which was centred around how POS can be in a position of strength in the Ni market if BHP can't make it work.
That said, the market needs differing viewpoints in order to function properly. With that in mind, and notwithstanding POS' v.poor history, I do wish you luck with your punt.
