Those comments should go over well in Oz!
Thanks for the chuckle.
Hopefully our very good friends and allies down will diplomatically tell the commie bastards to eff off in a manner so polite they will never realize they were told where to stick it.
Hey, dirtbag, the US and Aussies were allies in WWI and WWII, long before your commie butt was born.
Time for Australia to develop nuclear weapons and a delivery system. I recommend a submarine force ala Israel.
Methinks this cocky little yellow/Red bastard should be told to pound sand, in the most blunt Aussie vernacular possible.
Aussies do NOT like to be talked down to.....and they sure as HELL do NOT like to be threatened.
The British Commonwealth can’t defend Australia from China without American help.
The Chinese population is more than 1.3 billion, while there are a total of just under 23 million Australians, a population less than 2% of the size of China’s.
Sitting on land with vast natural resources that is about 94% the size of the continental U.S.
That’s just too tempting for China to resist and they are patiently waiting for America to financially falter a little bit more and be unable to afford to deploy the massive forces it would take to defeat China in a shooting war. Given that Australia is so small in terms of GDP, population and trade with the U.S., and mostly that there no longer is much of a cultural bond between the countries of the Commonwealth and America, within a few years an American military defense of Australia would simply never find the domestic political support to be mounted.
The Queen’s speech to open parliament has become a sheer disgrace as an homage to leftist causes, with a monarch effectively sputtering the thing as if held hostage; I can find no other explanation as the Queen obviously is learned in tradition and history, is quite intelligent and of wonderful character. IMHO, she long ago simply saw the handwriting on the wall as British monarchs increasingly have since Queen Victoria. I do not fault the Queen but the subjects for their rejection of Christ and God’s Law; the groundwork for today’s dismal situation was laid by some leaders of European and American society going back to the 1800’s.
There are, of course, some stark similarities in the Pacific nowadays to pre-WWII Japan’s hunt for natural resources and desire and feelings of entitlement to a Pacific empire, of course, with some substitutions like communism for shintoism, etc.
Not a very veiled threat was it?
From what I see the Chicoms need Aussie ore more than the Aussies need them. Every farming publication I get has an article about some huge farm in South Australia or Queensland with very big and very efficient equipment. Looks like Oz is feeding themselves just fine.
Australia is huge, remote from the ROW, sparsely populated and hard to defend.
” Noting the rising importance of China as an export market Song added that Australia depended on exporting iron ore to China “to feed itself,” but “Frankly, it has not done well politically.”
“Australia has to ... Australia must ... “
I’m sure this will go over well with the jackaroos on walkabout `round their billabongs lookin’ for crocs to knife.
Yeah you tell `em China/
As if China has ever come to the aid of Australia in her need.
I believe Australia is one of the closest countries to our federated form of government, fundamental values and beliefs in individual liberty. I have always considered them a sibling in our evolution from English rule. I do hope they choose the United States and that we strongly follow through on our commitments to them.
I’m not as certain as some of you. The Left has made a lot of inroads into Oz, and China IS in their neighborhood.
If fact, some acknowledgement from Aussie officials warming to them would not surprise me in the least.
That kind of statement in China (when referring to a non-son) is an extreme, combined insult and threat.
In the end, though, when the Aussies return a proper government to power, blood will prove thicker than Yuan.
"Dad. Says here the Chinese demand Austalians to choose between them or the U.S."
"Tell 'em they're dreamin'."
