OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[hindy111]

If I was going to back a horse it would be India. That's my diamond in the rough. I think they will become a super power.
Heaps of people, decent army, have the nukes. Hard working, reasonably educated and dedicated. And sneaky.
If they got close to China between the two they would control the world

You dont rate Big Mike's chances at the next election

Is that because he's choking on something???

This is how I see it and what's happening in the world.

Ok right now we are wealthy compared to the general population around the world. Compare us to a kid in Asia for example.
But the East due to population is making more trades then the west basically to feed the people. On top of this being their people are worth less it also means they can sell and make things much cheaper. That's basically bring money into the country and as time passes their middle class will grow. That means more people can spend and become consumers. Buy education and fuel the economy even more. On the other side we are seeing it worldwide. The West. Middle class is becoming harder to get to. House prices are out of control. People are unable to spend as much.
Then we have the internet which has changed/ accelerated the process. A multi million dollar company in the US can be competing against a 16yld kind in India.

So eventually every human in the world will be the same value.
I mean a countries value are the people. Without people you hold no value.And it makes sense. Why should my value be worth more then some kid in Brasil?
Once this happens ( will take time but not as long as people think )
Once it does happen who will become the richest countries?
Well to it's obvious. The ones with the biggest populations. It will be all about human capital.

Fact - Average US person wage is 43k vs China and India which is 10k. With current wage growth in 10yrs all 3 will be on 55k.

People in west currently have better and more privileged lives. We use and exploit poorer nations.But with internet we've f**ked ourselves. Unfortunately our only way out now
if we want to remain privileged and rich is to start a WAR.

Some food for thought here @hindy111, thank you.

I mean people ignore what's happened in the last 15yrs and how fast these countries are growing.

That’s so uncouth and low brow, even by my centipedic standards.

Anyone who is comparing who is more mendacious Zelensky or Putin and they come up with Zelensky is fair dinkum living in FantasyLand. It is truly beyond laughable.

“mendacious” ?

Should be “womandacious” coming from you shouldn’t it?

I’m not standing in the cubicle next to either of them without my Brad Arthur defence manual. Not that it’s going to cover too much.

This unwinnable war is reaching its end.

Zelenski is now resorting to further lies and bullshit in a final effort to save his position.

No one is cheering Putin, but he was always going to get away with it.

On behalf of the 700 000 people who have lost their lives, I think some warmonger awards are due for the arms manufacturers, the Biden administration, the incumbent European Union powers and all of those who cheered the ukkies on from the safety of their own habitats.

Next time you want to cheer on a regional war, take yourself off to the frontline to fight it.

I don’t know how you can so confidently post about these things.

Meanwhile I hear Lindsay Graham on BBC world service say this morning that Trump will do a big rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine, arm that country to the teeth to protect America’s mineral assets and Putin will will shrink like George Costanza in a cold swimming pool.

BBC is another war mongerer media source Gronky.

Putin could have turned Ukkieland into a crater if he’d wanted to.

Plus he proved yesterday he can hit the old smouldering Chernobyl reactor anytime he wants.

One of the hecklers down the south coast turns out to be a stooge of the greed party.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

how will they police this ? any ideas ?

I think there's someone on here who volunteered to check the genitals of people using public bathrooms, maybe they're also interested in being a voyeur?

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Hahaha coulda,shoulda,woulda

Putin could have turned Ukkieland into a crater if he’d wanted to.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Oh and there is a plethora of evidence that shows that Putin is a Trump level liar.

All leaders lie, almost all people do day to day.

I’d rather he’d lie than tell the ukkies he’s going to nuke them tomorrow and then go through with it.

So lying is not a big deal in and of itself. Context might be important.

You’d recall Biden said he wouldn’t pardon his family multiple times.

Opening the door wide open for Trumpy to pardon his lot. Legally ok, ethically questionable.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Only if you lack integrity, which you clearly do.

How womendacious of you.

Fire up the old 50 thread for the wokeys today.

For they are Cleary upset over imminent peace in the Ukraine.

The outrageous proposition of innocent kids getting to live to into adulthood.

Let’s get this done Donald.
