Would tougher sanctions on Russia only further hurt the Australian economy?

One of our main export industries took a tough kick after counter-sanctions by Russia. What we saw is what countries in EU are feeling,  the sanctions hurt us more than Russia. Even before counter-sanctions,  EU was very disadvantaged by imposing sanctions on Russia.

I have a theory as to why further sanctions are a very bad idea for Australia,  but I would like to see your poll votes first before I lay it out.

Well said.

Australia placing sanctions on Russia is an entirely self-defeating exercise, and has absolutely no hope of shifting Russian policy. The more pressure, the more stubborn Putin will be.

It's a futile gesture that may earn Abbott some weak applause from a couple of international political bodies, but ultimately it's just a yapping chihuahua next to the Russian bear.

Russia will get its butt kicked by China if it becomes 'Pro-European' like the Ukraine is.
Not only did Russia become the Soviet Union (USSR)
to help kick the Yellow Race out of Asia via
a Default 'Cold War' with the USA based upon some
Jewish pushed Taoism of the entire Northern Hemisphere being 'all-white'.

Such stupidity eh
And you thought the NAZI 'master plan' was bad 

Now because the USSR-USA 'default' War failed in its attempt to oust the people from Asia
(you can quote Gen Macarthur )
China is brewing like a Supernova.
Especially when the Chinese Military knows that its Economy will replace it as industry of 'importance' soon.

So after folding on its Communist ways to become Capitalist
- a slap in the face for China.
If Russia turns its 'back' upon China and becomes Pro-European? Expect ....
China will invade a 'rusted' Russia who has crumbled into Mafia gangs and the President known as Ras-Putin will run like a coward, rather than run for another term in power.
China will overwhelm Russia and although North Korea will bring the USA into the fray. China will take most of Siberia (for keeps) and Asia will finally have good access to the north into the Arctic.
Good timing because the black Melanesians attack Indonesia and push em ' back across the Wallace line into Malaysia.

So ends the Jewish dream of Taoism: for people who can only see in Black & White. 


...Adam (North America) said unto God (Europe)
"Lilith (Asia) will not serve under me!"
So God (Europe) created Eve (Australia) for Adam (North America) to serve 'Down Under' him.
Eve (Australia) listened to the Rainbow Serpent (Aboriginalism) in her Garden who spoke with the voice of Lucifer (Africa) to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.

...anyway, Besides Mother Russia trying to give her boy 'Adam' (North America) her love for want of Lilith's (Asia's) rejection.
Its a happy ending when Lilith (Asia) finds her man Lucifer (Africa) - true love. 

LOLOLOLOL

Oh no - if Russia puts sanctions on OZ
You all know what that means!

No more Russian Email Brides!
Gotta go back to those ugly Phillipino types again.

perhaps you forget the COld War technology sanctions that let USSR to develop its own technology and the pitiful standard of much of it. Computer technology decades behind, military hardware that was unreliable and poorly performing. Even its much-vaunted (and unproven) ICBMs were later revealed to have such inaccurate guidance systems that hitting the right COUNTRY would have been difficult, nevermind the right city or smaller target.

technology sanctions hurt Russia as they have a poor record in technology development. Do you ever go into an electronics or computer store and drool over the latest Russian hardware and software?? nope. no one else does either.

Be careful what you wish for. The Russian mafia controls the Russian brides racket, and once they have one of their girls married off to you, it's then that they move in and relieve you of your home and property under our own piss-weak divorce laws in which 'Irreconcilable differences' is enough to toss you out onto the street.

There have been articles written about it in our Sydney papers.

'Russian brides'? ~ Buyer Beware!

As for the Filipina Mail Order brides ~ I think they serve a useful purpose in keeping our paedophiles off the streets and away from the school grounds.

Their small and childlike stature, and immature-looking bodies makes them an ideal substitute for paedos looking for a bit of schoolgirl action.

and the message is being felt.  Russia has a teetering economy and is perennially unable to feed itself and is a technological dud.  it needs the west's goods more than we need to sell them. Its oil and gas exports are the true fly in the ointment as Europe has become dependant on it. But at the same time, Russia has become dependant on the hard currency it generates.
