Agreed, also from the article:

“China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten U.S. soil first and the U.S. retaliates, China will stay neutral,” it added.

Exactly.

It seems China is getting a little luke warm about protecting North Korea.

And we all know that we have presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama to thank for that.

NOT!

Thank you, President Trump!

Watching the China/NK relations now is is much more important that going all hysterical about NK nukes

Japan announced today that they are ready to protect Guam. Aegis destroyers. Not Feckress.

If nothing else, we might nuke Hiroshima again just to show that we’re not sorry.

What a joke. What are they going to fight with ,died Kangaroo bones?

Over 25,000 Australian troops have served in the war of Afghanistan between 2001 and the current day. 17,000 served in Iraq between 2003 and 2011. Only in relatively small numbers of a few thousand at most at any one time, but the overall number is not insignificant.

They took their damned guns away.

There are millions of firearms legally held by private citizens in Australia - besides our armed forces. Don't believe all the gun control propaganda about Australia spread in the US.
