Russian invasion of Ukraine

[FinestTigers]

Every time that I see our NSW senator Jim Molan I am disgusted when reminded of his commanding role in helping create Daesh that eventually morphed into ISIS.

Just a slight correction,
Daesh is Isis,
Daesh is just the arabic acronym for Isis,
Daesh/isis began as a branch of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

ISIS then publicly declared their separation from al-Qaeda just before their very short lived lunacy of a world caliphate in 2014.

And it's not surprising to know that the founder of this violent barbaric sunni faction was a Jordanian man known as al-Zarqawi who was a street thug and former prisoner in Jordan,and fought in Afghanistan as a mujaheed against the Russian occupation, and it's no wonder that all the thugs of the world wanted to join this known thug by also knowing that he would reward them with multiple wives and allow them to use and abuse their captured slaves, call them what you like, they are only thugs pretending that they are following the religion of God.

Here's why the U.S. might win the next Cold War

The second Cold War is already beginning, experts say, and many of the battles are being fought with economic weapons

A new Cold War will pose a new challenge to a market that is still recovering from the uncertainties of the pandemic.

Yep.

Another reason why we should encourage industry here. We should make many things and I believe it was wrong we didn't support our car industry, disgusting really.

Agree, yet more voted against our country getting back into the very important car industry and more specifically EV to boot at the last election because they listened to the disgusting spruiker stating that it will wreck your weekends.

More on topic, not withstanding the loss of life, particularly amongst the civilian population murdered in the barbarism ordered as the Russian forces retreated, it is good to see that many are no longer under the occupation of an invading nation.

Yeah and the Fords, Toyota, Kelvinator etc. Probably to please our allies. The boffins at the RBA told us the dollar would be permanently high at $1.10. Clever huh.

Now we need supply chains.

But, not as bad as Costello I think in 99 selling most of our gold at $250 an ounce on foreign advice.

Don't get me started.

We car too small a market for the cost that goes into designing a car.

WE as taxpayers DID subsidise the vehicle manufacturing industry for a long time in Australia - only for the international brands to take those $$$ offshore as they were not tied to retaining domestic operations!!

Grow up - protectionist fiscal policy was dead as a Dodo in the 80s and never works!!

Subsidies only increase income taxes or excises + the prices of the product & reduce the quality....

F*** bulding re-branded GM Commodores in Australia at the expense of EVERYONE!!

I have full history of the Bushmaster ADF tender and it is certainly not a viable commercial/retail vehicle - so your point is invalid maggie!

ADF does subsidise local manufacturers to a point - but that is not translatable to the private manufacturing of retail vehicles.

If you have a real idea try unsolcited proposals with your local Federal MP!

GM bought them - end of story!

Not the Australian taxpayers job to pay manufacturing costs to allow big companies their desired profit margin....

The last nationalised motoring brands were the TRABANT in the Eastern bloc & VW in Nazi Germany...

Well, the dodo might be resurrected in many industries in the west as globalization goes into reverse.

I don't know about quality. Thinking the last Falcon and Commodore for example was very good quality and alot cheaper than overseas offerings.

Keep your shirt on. The general point is we need industry and technology and more self sufficiency in this country.
Proper countries subsidize.

Federal MP.

I'd have to find out who they work for!

But, I guess their all subsidized in most people's eyes.

Also Ukrainian refugees are in Australia now and later on today I will be helping them but the last few weeks I have been helping many Ukraine people I financially support a building block of people in Keiv I pay for there food water and petrol and have been helping refugees getting out of Ukraine and finding them accommodation

I understand that something much bigger is happening but everyday people are the ones who suffer
