Maybe we limit them to 1 billion Argentine peso? That's about US$660,000.

US shipyards cannot build enough Virginias, Britain’s submarine fleet is struggling with sustainment, and Australia’s own infrastructure is running late. It is time to abandon the AUKUS pathway and seriously assess a French LEU alternative, Peter Briggs writes. #AUKUS #auspol #Defence
pearlsandirritations.com
AUKUS is a $368 billion gamble Australia does not need to take
US production shortfalls, Britain’s submarine crisis and Australia’s own infrastructure delays are eroding the assumptions behind AUKUS. It's time to take a different path.

If the media, ABC included, actually analysed One Nation policies i.e. racism and whatever Gina says, instead of talking them up, people might finally wake up & realise they are being conned!

Clearly those on the right, including Labor right, think we have a common interest in starting a war with our biggest trading partner over a matter that is none of our business! Seems Albo is no longer on the left but a puppet of the right!

I keep hearing references to the start of hostilities with Iran beginning after the Islamic revolution. Why does no one remember the 1953 coup by the CIA and the British that placed the Shah in power so the looting of their oil could continue? That was the original treachery!

Party trick. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Three horizontal frames. 1. Trump stands at one end of a long table set with tablecloth, food, plates, cutlery, wine, glasses. Netanyahu sits smiling  at other end holding a glass of wine.
Trump holding the tablecloth says, “Aaaand…” 2. Same set up, Trump has whipped the tablecloth out from under setting - sending the whole lot flying. “PRESTO!” Netanyahu still smiling. 3. Same scene but all the table setting has landed broken on the floor. Trump calls offstage “SOMEBODY COME AND CLEAN UP THIS MESS.” Netanyahu drinks his wine.

At the height of the cold war I lived in a UK industrial city that was a 2nd wave target & near a 1st strike target. We lived for the present! After all it was only a matter of time untill the missiles launched!! Luckily sense & peace prevailed! I would not wish a return to those times on anyone!
