Lol... Building patrol boats for facing off with China, using Aluminum alloys from China. Australia have gone Jai Hind too! It was a good thing for China to ship poor quality material to those A-holes. To keep their new fleet of patrol boats in the harbour.

Next time, China should try feeding crap raw materials into the supply chain of Australia's SSN or missile construction program. (Its easier done than many would think). So that in an event of conflict, these things stay out of the fight.

The problems are due to bad designs and manufacturing defects. Claiming problems due to poor quality aluminium is highly suspicious.

Click to expand...
Top German industries could face collapse because of cuts in the supplies of Russian natural gas, the country’s top union official warned before crisis talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz starting Monday.

“Because of the gas bottlenecks, entire industries are in danger of permanently collapsing: aluminum, glass, the chemical industry,” said Yasmin Fahimi, the head of the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB), in an interview with the newspaper Bild am Sonntag. “Such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in Germany.”

The energy crisis is already driving inflation to record highs, she said. Fahimi is calling for a price cap on energy for households. The rising costs for Co2 emissions mean further burdens for households and companies, Fahimi added. The crisis could lead to social and labor unrest, she said

Turkey is not an Arab country. In the muslim world, the pecking order is likely:
(1) Indonesia (sheer size and ASEAN anchor)
(2) Saudi+Pakistan+UAE (a nuclear power)
(3) Iran
(4) Egypt
(5) Turkey

There is practically no space in Central Asia for Turkey to penetrate, which is practically locked out by China+Russia.

Turkey looks good on paper, but is not nearly as influential as it portrays. Turkey in the juncture of Euro-Asia geography is similar to India in South Asia. Looking good, but not even a regional hegemony. Constrained from all sides.

Turkey is not Arab country but Turkey has military presence in several Arab countries.
Unless my knowledge is not correct Turkey is only Muslim country that has troops in other Muslim countries without there governments permission. Iraq and Syria. few year back It were the Turks who were managing the food distribution during Hajj.

The Sunday Times: Ukraine situation has divided NATO into “hawks”, “doves” and “ostriches”

The conflict in Ukraine has not only divided NATO member states, but also divided them into three camps, the British newspaper Sunday Times has said.

The paper named the three camps within NATO “hawks”, “doves” and “ostriches”. The hawks are defined as members of the alliance who believe that it is necessary not only to regain control of the territory of Donbass and Crimea, but also “to hit Russia hard enough so that it cannot pose a threat to any of its neighbours in the future”. The newspaper does not name the countries it categorises as “hawks”, but in a block about such countries it quotes an unnamed analyst close to the Polish government.

The ” dovish” countries, according to the newspaper, are determined to achieve a peaceful settlement between Russia and Ukraine. These are the countries that would agree to the withdrawal of Russian troops to their positions by 24 February by accepting the status of Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics. In this context, the opinion of an unnamed official of a Scandinavian country is cited, who stated that “such a deal would not be fair, but it is practical”.

The Sunday Times refers to the “ostrich countries” as those NATO members that are more focused on domestic problems. These countries support the alliance’s documents but are more “looking for the path of least resistance”. The newspaper categorises the southern European countries as “ostrich countries”.

The newspaper concludes that to a large extent the lack of agreement within the NATO countries was the reason for the failure of such an idea as deployment of small contingents of NATO troops in cities in western Ukraine – far from the front line to deter missile attacks.
