The angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. While his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press to save it from the Midianites, the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, "The LORD is with you, O champion!" Gideon said to him, "My Lord, if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are his wondrous deeds of which our fathers told us when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' For now the LORD has abandoned us and has delivered us into the power of Midian." The LORD turned to him and said, "Go with the strength you have and save Israel from the power of Midian. It is I who send you." But Gideon answered him, "Please, my lord, how can I save Israel? My family is the lowliest in Manasseh, and I am the most insignificant in my father's house." "I shall be with you," the LORD said to him, "and you will cut down Midian to the last man." Gideon answered him, "If I find favor with you, give me a sign that you are speaking with me. Do not depart from here, I pray you, until I come back to you and bring out my offering and set it before you." He answered, "I will await your return."
So Gideon went off and prepared a kid and a measure of flour in the form of unleavened cakes. Putting the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, he brought them out to him under the terebinth and presented them. The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and unleavened cakes and lay them on this rock; then pour out the broth." When he had done so, the angel of the LORD stretched out the tip of the staff he held, and touched the meat and unleavened cakes. Thereupon a fire came up from the rock that consumed the meat and unleavened cakes, and the angel of the LORD disappeared from sight. Gideon, now aware that it had been the angel of the LORD, said, "Alas, Lord GOD, that I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!" The LORD answered him, "Be calm, do not fear. You shall not die." So Gideon built there an altar to the LORD and called it Yahweh-shalom.

Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God." When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible." Then Peter said to him in reply, "We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first."
On the missile topic , I think we need seriously R&D into anti radiation missile to target radar systems that target us, an the delivery system of them would be F-35 A or B maybe , I think we should focus predominantly on defence an not attack ,to me we need 3/5ths defence maybe something like sea sparrow missile that have sidewinder capability for ground to air defence, to be cheaper than that in the field some gepard reverse engineering could be a cost effective solution around the cities to prevent penetration into key infrastructure in the city, warfare the trends missile that's why we are getting into it yet I don't think we should boast about attack capability that small time for attack suits me that 2/5ths I think should be attacked on the basis two in five is expendable before the better than average is lost
Why did the tab bring the odds for michelle obama from 33/1 to 23/1 this week for next president? Either someone has had a large bet on her/him or someone has some inside information.
What is the purpose of our ADF? Defend Australia or join an attack on Chinese assets as they take over Taiwan. I spent 16 years Air Force. Aircraft carriers and surface ships are just targets for missile saturation attacks using ECCM. Australia is kidding itself if it thinks we can operate nuclear attack submarines. For a start we will never get our young people to man them. Greg needs to harden up and get in the face of our delusional politicians. One EMP nuke 400 km above Canberra and back we go to 1910. Grow our own vegetables and be more self sufficient.
I have my fair share of criticism of Greg, he dribbles a lot of rubbish while pretending to completely know what he is talking about, all the while not actually understading or knowing to much about Defence in general. His comments from 1.40 onwards are spot on !!
G;day THIS MEGGASHWARMY ? What ever his name is in the American Election for 2024 / President – have you seen his STATEMENTS on TAIWAN if ELECTED ? Suggest every ALLIANCE PARTNER WITH USA . Has a good look . because this WANKER says will protect Taiwan in first term if elected after that – NO ? .
The only threat to Australia, is to remain a vassal state of the US. And being just another base for wars Time Australia threw off the shackles of the US
Boofhead will defeat the illegal aboriginal invasion of Australia, have the Labor regime arrested and thrown into jail, be crowned king by the liberated conservative christian forgotten Australians and inaugurate a thousand year rort. What do you call an aboriginal in a suit?
We need a nuclear weapon capability, a bioweapons capacity, an actual multidiscipline homegrown defence industry, and a ground force that isn't 'boutique'.
We need to go nuke all the way . Home energy , military answer to the Chinese. The only way to do this is to buddy up with the British and the Americans . If we don't you may as well let the fxxxing Aboriginal run the country into the drunken ground . . Vote no , vote Albanese out . Semper viratus Tim

20yrs service now an ADF run by fag.ots. Tomahawks might as well make water bombs.
F America let's swap a bushmaster for rockets from Ukraine. Reverse engineer improve and manufacture our own.
Look at Israel for inspiration! Yes, we face different threats, but we really need to up our game!
