It's getting dangerously close to the stage where it won't be worth defending !

I would like to know what "military experience" our pair of Dad's Army rejects have to offer. ttbn do you have any military experience? Indy admitted he failed to do his bit when he had the chance. Like many Old Farts these guys are all for someone else to do the fighting for them while they sit in their comfy chairs, safe in the The old folks home for the mentally decrepit.

AC,

In another thread on these pages, AC proudly thought he's served an ace by linking to a video called "All wars are bankers wars". As usual AC had totally fallen for the ravings of some internet bozo. I proved that the video was based on made up quotes from Churchill and others and had zero basis in fact. AC responded by slinking away, tail suitably tucked between his legs.

And comes over to this thread seeking rectification by throwing childish names around with abandon. And then hilariously shows us another video from a proven internet fantasist.... Brian Joseph Thomas Berletic. Another video without any discernible facts, just piles upon piles of uneducated assertions.

This Berletic fellow is well known in internet circles since he used to blog and post under the name Tony Cartalucci. That was until his Cartalucci nom de guerre had made so many errors and been found out so often that continuing to use it was untenable. I did point this out to AC years back, but I guess it went over his head.

Berletic has no known expertise, no track record and precious few facts. But he has gathered a loyal following of similarly slack-jawed simpletons and presumably makes a viable living from getting his moronic videos monetised.

Showing that they understand history and the present in the same way as my budgie understands Newton's 3rd law, AC and Paul assume that re-arming in response to China's threats and massive arms build up is the same thing as preparing to go to war.

"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus.

If you want peace, prepare for war. Apart from Vegetius, the phrase has been used by all sorts of people down through centuries including Machiavelli, the wonderful Giorgia Meloni, and John Wicks.

Preparation for war isn't about wanting war. Its about deterring an obviously aggressive and expansionist nation like China by showing that their aggression and expansionism will be met with force.

There are too many examples in history of nations deterring war by re-arming (think Reagan in the 1980s) or inviting war by failing to re-arm (think Britain in the 1930s). and that's just the 20th century. I fully expect I could provide examples for every century in the last 2 and a half millenia.

But shrills for the Chinese Communist Party like AC/Paul will always be there trying to stop one side arming while cheering the other sides forces.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Socialism in Australia has been vastly amplified by the Albanese government. The Coalition might be slightly better, but we do not have a clear choice between left and right, as provided to Americans by Donald Trump.

There has not been a true conservative choice here since John Howard went weird and lost his own seat as well as government. Abbott tried to be conservative, but by then Liberals had gone left, and they replaced him with Labor reject and wealthy socialist, Malcolm Turnbull. It's been all downhill for the Liberals and Australians since.

Mind you, the choice of Turnbull was more lamented than the loss of Abbott, who allowed himself to be talked out of his solemn promise to scrap 18c by the usual Australian political obsession with minorities, multiculturalism and identity politics, plus lefty AG, George Brandis, and his own party that kicked him out anyway.

That, plus Morrison and now Dutton, should be enough for anyone to see that Australia is no longer the sort of country that Trump might want to stand by - apart from our stupid climate policies, disowning of Israel, censorship, and other crap practised by our two left wing parties. Albanese's pawing and fawning with a big sickly grin on his face every time he meets the Communist dictator Xi won't go down well either.

Yes, the media is telling us that Albanese will get along famously with Trump, but that's just an extension of their lies about Trump himself during the election.

Australia's vote in the UN for Palestinian sovereignty won't go down well with Trump. Slaughter Jews, take hostages, and Australia will give you what you want. Plus the fact that we import Palestinians into Australia and permit them to run amok on our streets and support terrorists in contravention of our never-enforced laws.

Pre-election, Albanese lied that our stance on Israel wouldn't change. He has been lying about everything ever since. One of the reasons he wants to censor us. Any contrary things said about him will be misinformation.

They bleat that 155 UN members voted the same way - so the Australian sheep followed. That doesn't make it right. Australia is not the only shite country in the UN, but it is the one we live in and are embarrassed by. We didn't know that the Albanese regime was going to stab Israel in the back before they announced it world-wide. They just went ahead and double-crossed Israel, a supposed ally, and the only democracy in the Middle East. Australia's ‘special relationship’ with Israel has gone,

And Trump should flush the Albanese government like the turds they are.
