  • The Australian’s Robert Gottliebsen says Australia is “in a terrible lot of trouble” with the $90 billion “con-job” submarine program.
    “The French sent out here a whole series of negotiators - led by a very skilled female negotiator - and they sold us a deal that would have the ships here earlier, it would have Australian content,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
    “But as soon as we signed it, as soon as we said yes, they said ‘oh that’s not the deal at all, we’ve got a totally different deal for you, we’re going to do the lot and it’s going to cost you a lot more money’.
    “It’s not going to cost $90 billion, it’s going to cost $120-150 billion … it is a nonsense and it has to stop.”

      After WWII Patton wanted to take the American European Forces and attack Russia because he didn't trust Russia. MacArthur wanted to take the Pacific Forces and attack China. There reasoning for making such a bold move was they told President Truman that they had the equipment, they were mobilized and that America was going to have to fight them someday so it might as well be now. We had 27 aircraft carriers and 70% of the worlds naval vessels. During the signing of Japan's surrender documents they flew 525 B-29 Super Fortress bombers overhead as a sign of force. We could have conquered the world.
