Fristly, Friedman and his organisation had little crediblity to begin with. What have you got to say about his prediction of a resurgence of the ottoman empire? He also thinks Russia will disintegrate the same time as China (in 7 years time) due to a 2nd cold war.
Where did you get "too big...
The turks are obssessed about stratfor because in George Friedman's book the next hundred years, he claims Turkey and Japan will become the new superpowers of the world. The ottoman and japanese imperialism will make a comeback and even america will not be able to compete. Heres the good part...
Lol you construed my post, I made 2 separate statements and you linked them by the keywords of outgunning and invasion.
Why does Chinese army have to do with anything? They are training with live grenades, Australians train with dummy ones. It proves very little.
An invasion of Australia will...
I never made the connection of Indonesia army trying to outgun Australia to an invasion of Australia. If I recall you posted several lengthy replies about how many troops is required to invade Australia long before my post.
I made 1 statement about Indonesia build up and one about lack of...
Let me ask you again, what does outgunning have to do to with invasion of australian? I certainly didnt make that connection.
Nowhere in my post did i remotely touch on how much fire power, airforce or navy etc...
Warmonger much?
wtf does outgunning some body got to do woth invasion?
indonesia can aim to have a military they want, they have to fend for themselves afterall, unlike australia. Especially that the americans have set up a base in darwin.
Why would anyone want to invade australia, its pf no strategic value...
It would be interesting to see the net wealth of individuals, i know family and relatives from shanghai who makes like 1 - 1.5k USD a month in salary but has several apartments worth millions.
Outgun Australia, be top dog with more influence. Sounds very reasonable for a developing country with almost 250 million people.
Perhaps we'll see more mention of Indonesia in the 2017 defense white papers.
Invading Australia is a logistical nightmare, the Australian defense force...
China is in the business of business, she goes not active participate in domestic affairs of foreign countries, whether you are the bloodiest dictator or the leader of the free world, china treats you based on how deep your wallet is and what you have got to trade.
Many Indian seem to have...
US had the problem with loans granted to people who were unable to pay in the first place, then repackaged and sold as CDOs.
I don't think Chinese state banks would give out loans so easily, given the higher leverage requirement.
Chinese property market in recent years have introduced a lot of new rules regarding the purchase of property for investment/ speculative purposes. Ie, there used to be a 50% equity for a 2nd property, now they want you to pay it outright. Investment property cant be sold within 5 years of...
China didn't shiver when the Soviet Union and the US were against her, US threatened to nuke China over a dozen times during the cold war. The 5000km MRBM is useless, India don't even have miniturised warhead to go with it. Keep testing, China will be happy to put a few near obselete DF-3 (1970s...
vice did a documentary on this guy, then his website was taken down by the US government and charges were pressed. He printed p"parts" of the gun that were restricted.
His "gun" broke after 30 shots.
