Expect the crash to happen before the iron ore flow stops as overseas property owners rush to sell and cash out before the bottom drop off the market. I would be amazed if Chinese property owners, especially investment buyers who are not living in Australia, are not already quietly trying to offload their property before they start to take big hits. And guess who will be left hold the bag when the crash comes? Australian natives who need homes to live in and who cannot easily sell off even if they are aware of the pending disaster.
As “unimaginable quantities of Aussie iron ore flood ex-China markets”, global iron ore prices will collapse,
“China absorbs more than a billion tonnes of seaborne iron ore. Australia ships around 700mt there every year. Some large slice of this will be progressively dumped on other markets,”
The bigger hit, however, will be to national income – Australia will reap at least $150 billion this year in export revenue from iron ore, “nearly all” of which will “be wiped out by the combination of volume and price pressure”.
That also gives us a very good guide to what will happen: Nominal growth will be crunched; Inflation and wages will be hit for years; The budget will be a sea of red; Mining stocks will fall; Bonds yields will plunge; AUD will crash,” Llewellyn-Davis warned.
On top of that, Australian house prices “would tumble”, “radically devaluing versus the world via the collapsing currency
Cool, fingers crossed then motherfuckers...
Looks like Australia is determined to be the poster child of what needlessly fucking with your biggest customer looks like.
Oh, and Australians should not expect to simply be able to dump their excess iron ore on the world market, because you can bet every other producer has already got anti-dumping complains drafted and ready to go straight away.
If China really wants to turn the screws, they can demand origination documents and massively increase penalties for abuse for iron ore it imports to ensure those are not Australian iron ore coming in via 3rd parties. Chemical analysis should be able to easily flag Australian iron ore faking as other countries, and anyone caught trying to pull a fast one will be fined into oblivion and locked out of the Chinese market, which will be a death sentence.
If China really wants to fuck with Australia, it can do so in so many ways that it can basically reduce Australia to 3rd world country status economically. At the same time China can give Indonesia preferential rates on offensive weapons such that in a couple decades, Indonesia will seriously fancy their chances against a cash strapped and wore out Australian military. Australia can have the Red Dawn it always obsess about, only China doesn’t need to send a single soldier.
Defence Secretary Austin responded to Ted Cruz critisism "about a recruiting ad that featured a female soldier raised by two moms."
His response:
His response:
Anericans being raised by 2 moms is part of who they are now. Impressive!
Hahaha is that what they are telling to the recruits? I bet they said the same to the troops who went to Afghanistan and Iraq to protest their "gay rights" and "defending freedom" and "shatter some steorotypes along the way" lol
Chinese peace keepers will be stationed there to maintain law and order to make sure the project is safe.
I think the European childishly thought it would stop after snowden revealed everything, but now they think the spying just kept on continuing.
Not sure if the European are ready to really admit the reality of the situation
I think yes but there is an interesting quote inside the article about the extend of it
So even after the Snowden exposure they kept doing it from what I am reading
And the true bombshell is another one though
Biden seems to be involved on this
This is super spicy...
I don’t personally see the problem with having LGBT soldiers but being LGBT has nothing to do with military life. Why the hell would an ad for the military focus on this? If you want to promote gender equality, do a separate ad. Military life is about ardor and discipline, not personal identity.
Same. They can be LGBT or aliens for all I care. However this focus on "human rights" does not have place on the military. I dare these recruits to go to their CO and tell them about their "human rights" lol. Anyone who has been into the military, knows that when you enter the military base, a whole lot of your "human rights" are cut down, plus the military cares about discipline not if you are LGBT or not
And lets not forget how hypocritical it is for the US military to talk about "human rights" when they unjustifiably killed tens (hundreds?) of thousands innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.
What a joke

Not the dumbest thing he did since the start of his pregnancy.
