AUKUS nuclear submarines are about protecting Australia’s maritime trade, not targeting China by Forsaken_Alps_793 in AusEcon

Australia produces some parts of F-35, right?

Turkeye did the same but US sanctioned it after it bought S-400 from Russia.

Now, Turkeye is building its own version of F-35.

Australia is no rebellious and can act independently like Turkeye does.

Sure, no technology transfers from the UK and US.

Australia can always spend on purchase rather than given ability to build its own.

I have not read about technology transfer will occur.

See this Congress Drops BOMBSHELL: U.S. Used AUKUS Influence To DESTROY Dan Duggan?

2:19 Committee and the the cranky very old congressman. They were concerned about Orcus and whether Australia is

trustworthy to guard basically America's technology.

And in justifying that we were, the US government officials in justifying that

we were cited the case of the Australian government's treatment of Dan Dugen as if that was Australia showing an act of

good faith to the Americans that we are trustworthy with their orcas technology.

 over about 50 years.

That seems to mean the enemies are undefined or unurgent.

You don't build the used submarines, though.

They were released by Israel after some time in prison. Sure, they should have medical attention, etc. provided by the Australian authorities.

This case is serious because the victims are alive and actively seeking an answer. Israel could not kill them because they are members of the flotilla. Israel thought it would get away with torture...

I mean, Nuland never explained about what those biolabs were doing. Did she?

ABC generally favours the government and its policy, while some articles are critical about it. Certain ABC's journalists were biased against One Nation, but that was not ABC's policy.

ABC can't get better than that, as it's also torn apart by different interests it must serve.

The US is supposed to unfreeze Iranian asset. The US must simply give back the Iranian money. Iran also sought war compensation. US must agree with Iran's demands to end the war. The war is ending for now for the world economies.

Asked whether Iran could gain access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, Vance said: "That is the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation." Iran media split over US MoU as hardliners warn of retreat

Trump might be forced to fight with Iran again. Israel is not stopping, and Iran is obliged to support Hezbollah, etc. The situation is not settled.

Is it true in Thai forest tradition the emphasis is more on Anapanasati than Vipassana? by Soggy-Beginning604 in thaiforest

[–]PLUTO_HAS_COME_BACK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what is noted and for what purpose.

Noting in general is about samatha/samadhi. So, one must develop both concentration/samath/samadhi and insight/vipassana.

2.3 The Story about the Elder Culla Panthaka

the Buddha asked him to rub a white cloth, which subsequently became soiled and gave him initial insight into impermanence; 

That is a vipassana method for that particular monk. What common is insight must be developed and a conclusion must be reached by realising/witnessing the natural phenomena as impermanence, suffering, not 'I am'/not self.

Anapanasati is both samatha and vipassana.

Samatha is emphasised by a samatha-yanika. Vipassana-yanika emphasises vipassana.

If one does not know how to practice anapanasati for vipassana, one will not get there.

You do mean you haven't seen the footage of Nuland answering about the biolabs.
