"A stunning silence from our erstwhile Foreign Minister whom, one suspects, would have trouble locating Ukraine on a map."

All that Australian foreign ministers need to do is locate the USA on a map and then listen carefully to instructions.

Hey, Pete, you must be having a senior's moment! Didn't you know that the Yanks waited for almost two years before they joined WW2 on our side? Yes, they stood aside and waited for Germany to reduce most of Europe to rubble. I don't want to 'rubble' this in but that's what happened.

I remind people of this fact as often as I can as well as bringing up the Iraq sanctions and the Agent Orange in Vietnam and the napalm and the depleted uranium in SouthEast Asia which killed millions of kids and the cluster bombs and Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the fire-bombing of Tokyo, and the torture done in Abu Graib and Guatanamo and the U.S. Special Ops and Assassination Squads which rove around our world killing and destroying and raping and exposing children to radio-activity, etc, etc.

The U.S. is about as noble as Pol Pot or Chairman Mao and as screwy as Hitler.

Pete, the U.S. is trying to put a noose around the Ukraine and Russia before China gets stronger. China and Russia will make sure it fails and for the world's sake, I have a similar hope!

Americans are a race of barbaric pirates. Blackbeard provided their genes. Americans have provided the greed, the brutality, the mendacity, etc.

Americans are no better than the Japanese or the Germans were!

In fact an argument could be made they are worse.

Well was not that patriotic yank Shirley Temple nice? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLLSqpYyPD8

Unfortunately, Pete, Shirley is not going to save us from the looney white invaders who claim they are exceptional. I'm still trying to find a situation where something they've done is memorable. Their fight against the Japanese was motivated by survival instinct!

Slavery is not a human virtue, Pete, and neither was dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and depleted uranium on Iraq to say nothing about their use of Agent Orange and phosphorous munitions and land mines and napalm.

The history of the human race is sordid and brutal and it gets worse by the day. Once Knights fought nobly. Now you kill anyway you can and it's no big deal anymore if women and kids are your victims.

The U.S. is the world's biggest killer!

David G,
I resent the use of the term "White" in that post, the U.S hasn't been run by "White" people for a hundred years and the vast bulk of their victims were "White". If it hadn't been for the cooler "White" heads in the White House in 1945 most of the adult population of Germany and her allies would have been sterilised or shipped off to Siberia and Africa as slaves.

And let it be selectively forgotten that Japan killed an estimated 30 million people in World War Two - mainly Chinese.

So would it be better if Putin invaded Ukraine - as long as the West lets it happen?
