Is waiting for a stock market crash to invest a viable strategy?

It’s a silly move in my opinion, when we are escalating the war in Ukraine, and hoping China stays out of it, we are giving them less reason to want to keep us happy.

China is probably already at war with the US , it just isn't using missiles and guns , it looks to be slowly weakening the US and turning it's usual investing cash elsewhere , i suspect it is using a different battlefield , and using Russia as it's economic proxy
 
Nah, I don’t agree, both the USA and China has some silly tensions at the moment, but both do extremely well by trading with each other, they just need to keep the relationship friendly. But politics often gets in the way of diplomacy.

have you reassessed that opinion yet , or will China interpret recent drama as just US-style haggling ?

Nope, the “silly tensions” I mentioned have just been increased by the politics I mentioned. I think the USA will eventually learn that strong global trade is better for them than isolationist strategies. But it might be a hard lesson for a little while.

But the current state is definitely more heated, but that just means the situation will cook quicker and be finished sooner.

As much as the USA wants to think the rest of the world relies on them, we can live without them, the global economy will pivot if they want to push things to far.

An interesting stat is, Total USA imports of Chinese goods if spread across the rest of the world population, only equal $70 per person.

That doesn’t seem like an insurmountable amount of trade replace.

Especially if the USA only reduces its imports of say steel from China by importing from Japan and Korea, who then make up the difference by importing more from China for their domestic markets.

Indeed so, and instead of Australia putting billions into the U.S. submarine manufacturing capability to build submarines we don't need, we should be putting it into our own industrial capacity to make subs we do need.

We built submarines before, we should learn from our efforts with the Collins class, correct the mistakes and do a better job the next time.

Yeah that's going to happen. I'd pit an aussie sub against a Chinese or Russian sub any day. It's not like sleepy Australia is behind anyone in life or death technology. And all we've got to do is rebuild a gutted manufactoring sector first as a platform. With government subsidies of course - when the rumour I've read is that Treasury have sent a plan to the Labor government that proposes taxation increases to balance current spending and reduce the national debt. Building our own subs - inspired idea, like NDIS, Net Zero renewable energy, buying the indigenous vote - our government can do anything, outside means testing their own benefits.
 
We can’t even build houses in this country.

We’re definitely not building cutting edge submarines.

We’re the dumb country. And that’s putting it nicely.
 
Probably better to put the funds into building infrastructure.
