Nah it'll be The Court House at 4am because he thinks it says The Count House and he'll be wondering why these chicks we pulled have such deep voices.

I suspect that the DRC president went to China to seek help against the rebels couple of years ago, and he sold us out to the Chinese. But once the Chinese got what the wanted they did not help solving the rebels problem, so he had to run to the Americans. We were fk by the Chinese, now are we fk by the Americans? We are no longer allies, we are just friends with benefits?
China doesn't have partners, they have vassal states. Whereas the US offers equitable partnerships.

Felix recognises this and gets what he wanted, security and prosperity. China outplayed by Trump's commercial diplomacy. :)

Once told my future father-in-law, "I'm going to marry your daughter". So he took me to the pub, brought me a beer and said, "Mate, all you gotta do is give her ten bob a week and a back-hander, and you won't have any problems". Those were the days lol.

Some interesting watching.
Interesting stories about China's leadership.....
I don't know what is BS, but if these stories are starting to pop up, it seems not all is honky dory.
So interesting to view what is happening.
It seems not all are happy with China over reaching worldwide and XI pulling too much power to himself. A corrupt system at the end of the day will fail.

With numerous agreements still to be finalised over the next three months, followed by final negotiations and the logistics of implementing the settlement (assuming everything goes to plan) - I don’t see any funds hitting bank accounts before November at the earliest.

Interesting article here are some parts of it, too late for assisting AVZ?

The G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan, released in June 2025 and endorsed by Australia, represents a coordinated strategy by the world's wealthiest economies to secure essential raw materials for digital, energy, and defense technologies over the next decade.

This landmark initiative acknowledges the strategic importance of minerals like lithium, rare earths, nickel, cobalt, and tungsten for economic prosperity and national security.

The plan emerges at a critical juncture in global mineral markets, where supply chain vulnerabilities have been exposed through recent geopolitical tensions
. According to analysis from White Noise Communications, the G7 nations have recognized that control over these resources directly impacts technological sovereignty and economic competitiveness in an increasingly resource-constrained world.

As global demand for clean energy technologies accelerates, the Action Plan provides a framework for cooperation that extends beyond traditional market dynamics, incorporating security considerations previously reserved for defense industries into resource strategy.
Furthermore, the plan addresses growing concerns about critical minerals energy transition requirements and how these will shape future economic relationships.

And,

Collaboration with Emerging Markets​

The plan emphasizes partnerships with developing nations to:

  • Build local capacity in responsible mining practices
  • Create jobs in resource-rich developing regions
  • Establish sustainable extraction and processing capabilities
  • Develop mutually beneficial supply chain relationships
  • Transfer knowledge and technology to emerging producers
For Australian companies operating in Africa or Southeast Asia, this creates opportunities for new partnerships that maintain high operational standards.

These partnerships represent a counter-model to extractive relationships that have characterized some resource development in emerging economies. By emphasizing shared technology transfer and capacity building, the G7 approach aims to create alternative development pathways that align economic growth with sustainable practices. The establishment of a new European CRM facility represents one practical implementation of this collaborative approach.

I almost chocked on my warm croissant and double-decaf latte reading that verbose word-fest from yet another bunch of clueless bureaucrats.

It's pretty hard to maintain high operational standards when you cannot operate due to relentless and institutionalised corruption abetted by the odious Chinese.

They also forgot to mention that the Australian Government will be MIA when a company finds itself subject to arbitrary laws and illegal expropriation of its valuable assets.

Now, where's that croissant?
