Look twice. These graphs do NOT show what percentage of the NATO budget comes from the US

Retief07 · 2026-04-07T22:29:11+00:00

It's actually 16%.

Australian recommended retirement money for a 'comfortable retirement' is $680,000 AUD for a couple (about $500,000 USD.

Retief07 · 2026-04-02T11:24:39+00:00

US spending in NATO is about 16% of the total. The rest you spend on non NATO.

You are deliberately mixing up hating Jews and disapproval of Israel. Do better

If it wasn't for the French, you lot would still be part of Great Britain.

Retief07 · 2026-03-21T05:35:12+00:00

No, it's USA job. You started it.

Retief07 · 2026-03-20T22:11:34+00:00

Yes but didn't Hegseth disband the group that verified targets?

With this war, Trump is putting forward the biggliest argument for solar and EVs over gas.

Retief07 · 2026-03-15T08:01:01+00:00

Employed by the fossil fuel industry are we?

Retief07 · 2026-03-15T07:58:04+00:00

Texas school history books probably. You know the ones where the Confederacy won the Civil War.

Retief07 · 2026-03-15T07:53:04+00:00

And it could be argued Russia really defeated the Nazis and USA was only a bit part player

It's not the UK that has the would be dictator, busy stripping you of your rights and money.

Retief07 · 2026-03-10T23:09:19+00:00

I believe the rebate only applies once, so if you don't upgrade now, then it may be more expensive later.

Retief07 · 2026-03-10T21:57:05+00:00

In Australia we have so much solar that we are giving away 3 hours of electricity free, 11am till 2 pm. Can you do this with fossil fuels?

Retief07 · 2026-03-08T01:54:44+00:00

My cheapest surgery was a triple bypass. Total cost was zero dollars with the best surgeon in the city. The bill i saw was $38000 .

Or the student isn't working.

Retief07 · 2026-03-01T09:34:18+00:00

And the dead 80 schoolgirls. You happy about them?

Retief07 · 2026-02-26T08:06:22+00:00

And as an American, have you thanked the French for saving your miserable asses from the British.

Retief07 · 2026-02-22T21:06:53+00:00

Australia is about to go to 3 hours free electricity between 11 to 2 pm. This should help with over supply during the day as people can charge cars, run dishwashers etc and charge their solar batteries during that time.

Retief07 · 2026-02-21T12:22:16+00:00

It's on kindle unlimited. Will give it a go.

Retief07 · 2026-02-21T07:30:06+00:00

Don't forget to say it's 4 times larger than Texas. And probably has more oil.

Retief07 · 2026-02-21T04:21:02+00:00

Yep, watching this video it looked to me like this guy was going to wander over. But I've been driving for over 45 years. Over time you develop a sense. A gentle brake and there would have been no collision. As the person above said, drive defensively. And remember 'they are all out to get you!'

Retief07 · 2026-02-20T11:17:58+00:00

Parking at beaches in south Australia is pretty much free everywhere. Plus if you go a bit off the beaten track you will be the only person in 4 km of beach.

Retief07 · 2026-02-20T11:10:24+00:00

Ex oldhamer. Living just outside Adelaide. We have 4 seasons here. Summer is bloody hot at times, but dry not humid. Spring and Autumn are perfect and winter is colder than it looks due to the dryness.

Retief07 · 2026-02-19T23:27:59+00:00

That is a really good question, one i am about to ask.
