Defence procurement bungles and wins

[Baggers]

The public must not confuse the the corruption and misdirection of the Tongan Politicians with the attitude of the Tongan public, the gold doesn't flow downhill and like Fijians most Tongan locals don't care for it anyway!

There is a massive hatred in most Pacific Islands for the way the Chinese poorly treat the environment and also show such disrespect the local cultures.

Although democracy aint perfect, it beats the cr@p out of what these nations have. I wonder how long Fijian, Tongan, Chinese and Russian bosses would last in a fair, democratic election with other (better?) options to choose from. Hard to see that, in particular, Xi and Vlad, are representative of the populace.
