Yep and economic growth year after year and decade after decade.
They could invade any day but we have strong alliances.
But yet we have been for decades. You might be surprised at how much coal, Iron ore, gas, uranium, agricultural etc we sell to China. We even educate them. But we have been selling less to them with their sanctions. Green hydrogen looks to be another large future export.
I actually had some lovely tiger prawns for lunch today at a pub, in a tomato type paste and jasmine rice. Edit sorry they were not tiger prawns They were "GRILLED BANANA PRAWNS Infused with citrus oil, served with a chilli tomato sauce over steamed rice and tossed garden salad "
With sanctions on Russia we should do well trading into Europe again.

The bottom line: Beijing’s attempt to bully Canberra has been a spectacular failure.

i don't have anything bad to say about the idea, i liked it ever since i was a kid watching the old star trek with a Black woman, a Japanese, a Russian, a half breed alien, and a couple of white guys, all working together and having kick ass adventures...i've been for a one world government all my life...but i think it's still about a century or two away, if we survive that long.Try holding a sign and protest in Russia.
The first amendment is still strong here, thankfully.
Not perfect, but I can actually go protest and not necessarily be arrested.
Over there right now? Yeah not really free.
We're not REALLY free until all of Earth is free.
I am part of the Unity Party... No longer a democrat or republican.
I'm a global citizen living on a planet in outer space and I have to think and act like one,
people just haven't evolved enough for that kind of idea to gain any ground, there's way too much nationalism, way too many prejudices, and way too much racial hatred all around the world for it to happen, yet

Ukrainian soldier after warning: 'Russian warship, go f*** yourself'
An audio tape of an exchange between the Ukrainian soldiers on an island in the Black Sea and an officer of the Russian Navy has emerged. All of the soldiers - who were defending Snake Island - are reported to have been killed, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. This audio has been confirmed and verified as authentic by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry.

Australians have fought alongside Americans in every major US military action of the last century, including World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq.
ANZUS - Australia’s one military alliance is with the USA, and came into force between the USA, Australia and New Zealand in 1952. ANZUS was suspended in 1986 between the USA and New Zealand because of New Zealand’s anti-nuclear stance. It has operated in two prongs, one between Australia and New Zealand, and the other between Australia and the USA. ANZUS does not create a unified military command, as in the case with NATO in Europe an has been invoked only once. Following the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, the Howard government promised to help the USA.
In theory, ANZUS means the USA will come to the defence of Australia, but leading defence observers over the years have interpreted the treaty as promising consultation rather than guaranteeing help for Australia in the highly unlikely event of attack by an external power. The real significance of ANZUS in the last sixty-two years has been to integrate Australia into the global military and diplomatic strategies of the USA. Australia has had easy access to American thinking on international events, and to a large extent has made that thinking its own.
Australia also has various military arrangements with other countries, such as:
Defence Sponsored Treaties-Security Arrangements. Security arrangements serve as the formal basis for the reciprocal protection of classified information between Governments. Australia enjoys SAs with Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden and South Africa.
Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). The understandings between Governments regarding visiting military forces are commonly addressed in a SOFA. Australia signed SOFAs with the United States, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Papa New Guinea.
The Australia-India Strategic Partnership, Accelerating Security Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. Shred concerns about the People's Republic of China's global outreach have propelled India and Australia to deepen their security ties.
The Defence Pact (Reciprocal Access Agreement) between Australia and Japan. Both countries will undertake more joint military exercises in the key maritime flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific. The defence pact will allow for more maritime war games, military aviation exercises and the stationing of troops in each other's countries.
ABCA Armies. Air and Space Interoperability Council and AUSCANNZUKUS (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA), collectively known as the Five Eyes. AUSCANNZUKUS is an abbreviation for the naval Command, Control, Communications and Computers (C4) interoperability organization involving the five aforementioned Anglosphere nations. It is also used as security caveat in the UKUSA Community, where it is also known as "Five Eyes". UKUSA - the United Kingdom, the United States of America Agreement.
CANZUK is a proposed alliance between the major Commonwealth realms; its members will be Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It forms an international federation similar in scope to the former European Economic Community. This includes increased trade, foreign policy co-operation, military co-operation and mobility of citizens between the four states.
And then there's the Commonwealth of nations and the debts owed by European countries.

We just haven't been educated to hate as much as Americans have been. We are also in Asia.
Aussies are one of the most traveled populations in the world so we have a different take on the world than Americans do.
We also debate differently and when we lose a point in a debate we don't generally turn to silly and bad "insults" to prove our points.
Did you also find it strange that you accused Australians as being racists and then you yourself made a racist remark?

Long term the Russian invasion on the Ukraine will be a festering pimple on Vladimir's ass. The sanctions are going to have a dramatic effect on the Russian economy as a whole and the people who will suffer the most are the poor. Putin will have to use a heavy hand and that's where the fires of discontent are ignited. Russian work camps and gulags will proliferate even faster than the re-education camp's for the Chinese uyghur. If Putin is/was so genuinely concerned about the Ukraine joining NATO I'm sure he's aware that both Sweden and Finland will now be in line looking for the security NATO provides. Putin will also be successful in encouraging the EU to become more hawkish and dramatically increase their defense spending. The Germans while not providing defensive weapons (whatever they are) are willing to suffer themselves by putting the kibosh on the new gas line. Personally I think Putin has dug a big hole for Russia and the Russian people are hardly aware of what's going on because their media is controlled more tightly controled than the media of North Korea. As far as China goes they don't give a crap about Russia and will be happy to fill the void left by Russian exports. I would in fact like to be able to tune in to a captioned nightly report of RT simply to see how things are presented. I'm certain the above will come to fruition just as I was certain that Putin was just posturing and that there was no way he would invade. I feel hurt that he mislead us so badly but I understand he got lessons in lying from the master.
