Seems as if no matter hard they try Trump, Barr and the wealth of internet trolls can't find any evidence that Obama and Biden did anything at all wrong in the Russian investigations.
What hypocrisy.
I'll keep it short:
1. Sri Lanka
The rest of your question was a history lesson.
Debt of at least 20% of their nominal GDP to China:
Djibouti, Tonga, Maldives, the Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Niger, Laos, Zambia, Samoa, Vanuatu, and Mongolia.
2. ns there's the missing letters to add to the above. Is this a question?
3. I pretty much agree. But the strong stance was post Trump.
4. Literally everyone above us and below Russia.
Similar through Africa, Vanuatu, I think Kazakhstan area. There are actually a lot of places that threw in with it.What happens when poorer nations lured by China's cheap loans can't pay them back?
China is splashing out billions of dollars in concessional loans to developing countries, but what happens when these debt-laden nations can't pay Beijing back?www.abc.net.au
Here is an article on what you were talking about @moXJO, Australia with the Darwin Port and the Victorian belt and road initiative are starting to head down the same road.
It is a risky game, when you are borrowing money, from the very same people you are dependent on to buy what you are selling.
They stop buying, you can't pay the loan, you have to give them something.?
Another example of the smugness that is permeating through Australia, "we are smart, we are invincible".
We are dicks. IMO
Customer service has always sucked in this country. But its very apparent now.

But it does lend itself over time to a lax attitude, as it is difficult to reward excellent workers, without retribution.
I think ours is a better system, but it does breed complacency and lack of endeavour.
I was dumbstruck how rude Americans were to waitresses in the US who kept smiling for the tip it was horrible.
Personal experience, I never wanted to go the USA, went due to a wedding, found the average person, service provider, considerate and personable, but might have been due to I have an Ozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzie accent or are polite to people.I was dumbstruck how rude Americans were to waitresses in the US who kept smiling for the tip it was horrible.
US staff were kind of shocked that we treated them as people
Because you are an arrogant Australian.
We are yobbos, face the factsI don't follow your comment, Oz are far less arrogant than US or Euro people according to people I know who have worked in hospitality around the world

We are yobbos, face the facts
As I have travelled across the globe, the only time I have been embarrassed is often due to you yobbo australiansYou may be but I and my friends are not, how we behave is a personal choice
