yeh, but only because I literally cannot believe how lame some of your memes are

you supposed to be a man of taste and substance...

(or is that a gender fluid benchong of taste and substance?)

but some of your shit is the most tasteles, nitpicking, mean girl, divisive, snide, shadow sniping crap I've ever seen

do you make them yourself?

and what is the point of leaving half the letters out of white?

is this supposed to be witty?

less offensive to the unschooled?

or is this just your little michelle obama womxn moment?

the whole thing is just weird, ...but not even remotely cool weird...

just odd little man in his xi / diangelo postered dungeon suffering a relevance deficiency complex weird

you're better than that

I think...

Something, something, benchong...yada yada IP something or other.

Didn't read it all.

Bingo?

Hey, wanna get really triggered? Go to the eulogy thread.

Yew!

you couldn't trigger me if you tried

not because your material is shit

but because you ip inspired cult pespective means you have such a wayward perception of me, you have no fucking clue what I am about

you show it with every desperate post and putdown

(though the cult does have just a few generic disparaging, deplatforming, smearing, indoctrinated 'answers' to everything... so maybe you're not even trying... geez, one would hope so...)

but carry on...

(with the narroewst of narrow views of the 'untenable')

it's a fucken crack up

so 1980's!

Although Ukraine has regained some land in the north around Kharkiv, Russia has now almost taken Luhansk , one of the contested regions in the east.
If they they do take it and then move onto the rest of Donbas, the question is whether they stop on that border and it may eventually become some sort of DMZ like Korea, or do they just continue fighting into eastern Ukraine and the war and people dying will continue to grind on.

Spot on flollo…

Wow. Biden confirming US would use military to defend Taiwan in case of a Chinese attack. Australia would I guess have to join in. If that was to ever happen China would slap embargo on Australian goods, effectively ruining our resource heavy economy.

https://www.wsj.com/video/watch-biden-says-us-would-respond-militarily-i...

They'd knacker themselves in the process, as evidenced with the coal embargo. We'd switch to lithiums/rare earths/cobalts to Japan/EU/South Korea/US quicker.

Just wow to the Biden link, he's actually said it. That would be rather hectic, but history has shown island states can defend themselves from really big invaders (Japan's divine wind 1274 & 1281; England 1588, UK 1805, 1940) - power enough for control of the sea or a huge storm in your favour, or combination of both.

Biden has never said otherwise. He said it while campaigning in 2020. However anyone may feel about it... whether that is good or bad policy... it has not changed. Dunno if the next President will pick up that baton or not... we'll begin to see a coupla years from now.

One strategic scenario is that the US actually wants to set up a second proxy war in the east to compliment the doozy they have going in the Ukraine. The aim is to weaken and disrupt its two main strategic competitors. Many US Think Tanks are in the middle of the vinegar stroke of excitement right now as long long years of think tanking (what do such organisations actually do all day!?) are reaching the main game.

Now, they need a proxy "partner" in the Pacific sphere to be at the pointy end so they can sit back and have plausible deniability and no boots on the ground.

https://www.lawfareblog.com/utility-proxy-war

Who is possibly intended to be up the pointy end? Not many choices except, crazy as it seems, in addition to Taiwan, of course, they may be thinking Australia. Hence, maybe, Dutton's preparatory war comments to fertilise the ground? Thankfully he is not "Defence" Minister anymore.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-05-14/coming-proxy-war-china

And to think that I used to think the general goal of most countries was world peace.

All very true and very concerning there Frog.

Biden, Albo, and co meet in the Quad meet. Meanwhile, China is to visit 8 islands Pacific nations in 10 days.

meanwhile, another great day in the land of the free. 18 kids dead. Fuck yeah..Merica. fuckwit lawmakers

We are lucky in Oz that mainly only the crims (mostly middle eastern) regularly use guns to murder their opposition while most home invasions, car jackings and stabbings are by Sudanese youth (who are, thankfully, a very low % of the population). Hate to think what these groups would do with easy access to firearms.

Haha, you’re a funny guy!

Bum still sore after the Oz election result, hey comrade?

Um, YOU don't have any guns, do ya old cock?

The truth is painful sometimes, ladyboy. Suck it up.

Freud's having a field day, old cock.

So you've got a big one, hey?

Like Dirty Harry...

In the lucky country only the cops have guns ay. It’s great. And safe.
Safe safe safe. SAFETY FIRST!

Fuck yeah

Artist's impression of future transport on the continent:

More seriously, pay attention to a very good 2nd part of this superb vid, "The Sino-American war and Australia's role in it". In fact the whole vid is a must watch if you want to understand the situation and capabilities, strategies, and likely conflict paths. Presenter is a double Masters and PhD in Military History.

A few takeaways - we have a very sophisticated early warning system which was wholly developed here. Combined with our current military, it would be enough to defend the country... until... a great power either begins to outrange individual weapons systems, or develops blue water navy power projection with proper carrier battle groups. Both are happening. The situation in this case could see our defences overwhelmed before allies could deploy sufficient force to back us up. The presenter outlines ways to address this with systems available now.

What would a likely conflict look like? Much reading in the subject sees me agree with the presenter that like the surprise attacks of 1904 and 1941, a war in Asia would begin with a sudden, out-of-the-blue, all out strike by the challenging power.

You a big Risk fan, VJ?

I'm actually going to have to look that up! Is it a movie, a board game? That 1980's movie with "the only winning move is not to play?"
No, just a History grad (even some Australian Literature history in the bundle) with an interest in the area. Everything from Mackinder to Mahan; the campaigns that prevailed (ie Nelson's 2 years at sea 1803-5) and the world they created. A particular fascination with the fuck ups that led to the fall of Singapore and deletion of ABDA in 1942, and following campaigns my great uncle was part of, and what he went through. I've tried to see a lot of it from the perspective of the IJN/IJA, being wowed by the sheer pace of their conquest.
Whether we present a strong defence or aim to reconcile for now, I've read the other side's published plans since the late 90's, and they aren't going to defer from their path imo. Si vis pacem...
