"AC, who hates the West, and gets more irrelevant with every post, is probably a person of interest to ASIO - or scrutiny by Australia 's National Strategy might be more appropriate."

I don't hate the West ttbn, I just think democracy is a bit of a rigged system and hate the Wests endless wars, threats, blackmail, regime change and military interventions, which we obviously support.
If standing up for the idea that WWIII is a really bad idea, or that people and nations should treat each other with respect and decency or that I believe I have every right to stand up for what I think is right is a crime, then I'm guilty.

"And 'ttbn' has said on several occasions that EVERYBODY would be involved in a war with China."

Were you quoting something Paul said there or talking about yourself in the third person?

I think you meant to say "I've said";
You probably shouldn't throw 'mental health' around when you talk about yourself in the third person.

If China ever gets short of raw materials, where will they go to obtain them? Australia? We are a large supplier of many mining and agricultural products, they are of more value than the people of Australia who do not hold their world view.

That's right ttbn as the forums boar or is that bore, maybe both, you would know, its the Boer War and not the Boar War, I wasn't born at the time, unlike you who was probably there. Yes I know it was WC who raved on about trenches and beaches. Did you know, WC was at the Boer War.

Piling more stupidity on the top of stupidity is so you.

In what should be a shock to us all, Australia has been forced into a deal whereby we pay undisclosed billions for old American rust bucket, war surplus, obsolete nuclear submarines, in about 10 years time.

The "piece de resistance" is Australia blindly agrees to go to war with China once given the American order to do so! This is an outrageous abuse of Australian sovereignty! And its not the first time, an Australian warship came under direct American orders during the Iraq War without the Australian governments knowledge or agreement.

What is not a shock is that Paul is lying again. This purchase of nuclear submarines was not forced on us and fills a huge gap in our naval defense that diesel subs cannot fill.
