')You're forgetting a basic principle of finance. If you are going to borrow money, borrow a whole lot. Then the lender is your hostage. Prepare for the invasion, parranoyd. If you hide far enough out in the outback, they may never find you.

"The fundamental ..." Oh, ho ho ho ho ... I guess it's ... ah, ow! hahaha ... like the fundamental law of alcoholism, heh: "To avoid hangovers, stay drunk!" ... Bwahahaha! ....
Outside the world of barflys the fundamental law of finance is "Buy low, sell high". But you sold your land for just beads and paper. The beads are phosphors lit with that hypnotic light you can't stop watching. The paper is fiat created by the bullshit bank - 96% of the US trillions backed by promises to exchange for nothing but more paper. Well should it say "In God We Trust" ... cause there's nothin' else holdin' it up!
Haha-eck! Heh ... oogh ... I'm coughin' up a lung here ...
Nixon went to China, floated the USD, and sold his people down the river. The Chinese know barbarians all have a price. And now America has forfeited all that counts to the Chinese - your technological secrets, your cultural integrity, control of your land, and your moral compass - all depend now on the tender mercy of "Dr Fu Manchu".
The fundamental law of finance is buy low, sell high. What do you have left to sell? Your physical exertion and that of your children. The rest has gone for a song. Fifty years ago you held the industrial whip and turned the Eastern bloc into willing slaves. Now the Chinese own the industry. Beaver Cleaver never asked where the floating money dance led - but it leads down to the river like Hamelin's rats.
As for Australia, no worries - the Commonwealth has traded gently with Chinese for 500 years. They're good neighbours bar the Great Game, not bloody sado-masochists like you with your whips and hoods. Better than 3,000 years ago the greatest Chinese philosopher, Lao Tse, wrote,
"Conquest is a means of union. So when a large nation conquers a small nation, both submit. The small submits to gain comfort. The large submits to gain service."
If your leaders knew that you'd hold both Iraq and Vietnam! Unlike you paranoid xenophobes the Chinese know how to conquer and how to keep their conquests viable. It was so easy for them in Vietnam! Compare their record there with what you did instead! Or compare their record in Hong Kong with yours in Cuba!
Like Hong Kong and Vietnam, Australia creates excellent teachers, engineers and managers. The Chinese would no sooner waste such precious resource than the uranium, oil, coal, iron, NG and bauxite in the Australian ground. Australia has stable social systems - what profits the Chinese to disrupt them? Australia is doing a fine job exporting its bottomless resources to China. Why fight a war just to throttle the supply? China will stay its hand and reap the rewards.
Even if they doubt their control the Chinese still need not lift a finger. They just extend credit to us, same as they do to you, and we fall over ourselves for the privilege. Why not? What benefit did your paranoid American empire offer that the calculating Chinese does not?
The fundamental law of finance is "buy low, sell high". But your greatest philosopher, P.T. Barnum wrote the American corollary: "There's another sucker born every minute".
Haw haw haw! Erk. Ahem. Oh, my sides. I haven't last so hard since J. Edgar Hoover shot JFK.

')The neocons are not fools and they are not done by any means. The chaos in Iraq is not failure, it is success. The US/Britain/Israel wanted civil war in Iraq and engineered the car bombings to create it. Now that Iraq is a failed state, it can be looted at will with muscle supplied by mercenaries and airpower from the four giant US bases being built in the desert.

And let me tell you how much I'm enjoying that Iraqi oil. Its just great filling my car up on stolen Iraqi oil that costs me .50 cents a gallon......
Looting the oil my ass.
