Not really any conspiracy, I do not think the nuclear option will be chosen at a drop of a hat. I think Beijing will probably have to give significant reparations to America, President Trump and countries like Australia with companies like WBC depending on how this Wuhan virus affects those countries and companies like WBC.
It has certainly affected NYC to its detriment. Beijing should provide significant funds to America and through America and the Administration to NYC to repair the economy. If Beijing makes no such reparations, war may be one of the consquences.
Irresponsible behaviors by Governments such as those in NSW with Ruby Princess and the 33 "Medical Professionals" absconding quarantine are unacceptable and Beijing should obviously not be accountable for that.
Beijing also does not have the humanity sapping taxes that New York and Australia have such as employment taxes, property taxes and incomes taxes so it is not a panacea. Also all these "professional" NRL, AFL and Rugby players who only play their sport and do not have real jobs in the community, causing hideous losses for FoxTel, TLS, NWS and now the banks that supported that largess, Beijing should not pay for any of that.
Those salaries were always fairytales, Rugby, NRL, Super League and AFL players should go back to being essentially amateur sports played on weekends and the players should get real jobs during the week. This would reduce domestic violence, criminal/ civil trials, unconsensual behaviors and wire taping, and be better for WBC.
WBC should eliminate its sponsorship of the caketin. St George Bank, a WBC company, should withdraw its sponsorship of the Court ridden St George NRL side and the Queensland Reds Rugby side, not that it may have to as those two sports are eliminated from the fully professional ranks which is a good community minded thing that must happen IMHO.
NAB will benefit from its AFL sponsorship elimination and ANZ's sponsorship of the NZ sides in these one sided rugby competitions IMHO so the benefits shared by WBC will be spread around.
Women and children will benefit as well from the reduction in violence and abuse that will occur from the elimination of all this "professional" sport with young men with too much time on their hands and too much money to spend in all of that downtime IMHO.
