Paul,

What was unjustified about the Korean War, apart from the unjustified invasion of South Korea by the North Korean Communist regime.

Did your Red mate Lee tell you to post that?

The news post referred to in the first post.
Read the Chinese statements out loud.
They are very arrogantly phrased.

They are simply saying we will talk to the diplomats but that is all.

Perhaps Australia should start a nuclear weapons program.
Notice how Israel has been left alone by the Arab governments.
Only the ratbags want to take them on.

Mr. Opinion,

"Personally upsetting"? Not for me. I stopped taking human stupidity and narcissism personally a long time ago. I also know that few people give two hoots what I think and, honestly, I feel the same way about most people. I don't do understanding,sympathy or empathy these days; I'm more of a 'told you so' bloke and, to be honest again, I get a kick out of watching unfold the very things I predicted would happen with the lurch to socialism, multiculturalism, faux compassion and the stupid belief that all people are equal. I clearly remember listening to an ABC reporter on the wireless telling us that, thanks to the raving lunatic, Malcolm Fraser, people who, were not born here could from that time on think of themselves as whatever they were before thay came here; they could also think of themselves as Australian, although there was no pressure for them to make that official as long as they had permanent residency: no need to worry about that loyalty nonsense. Accordingly, the descendants of 1950's migrants who were called 'New Australians' quite happy to be Australian and fit in - these jerks went for dual-citizenship in a big way, and ended up with split personalities to suit their split identities. This BS has now reached the stage where newer migrants expect to take the be benefits provided by Australians - Old and New - wothout paying any homage to Australia at all. They don't even bother to learn our language, unless they want to get into the professions to loot English speakers as well as their own mob.

Do I think there will be conflict with China? Yes. And we damn well need to start finding places to incarcerate these parasites before it starts.

Mr 0,

I've made it clear that I'm on the side of international law.
You regard me as "in the pro-China camp".
Does that mean you think international law favours China?

Bazz,

There've been more attempts to invade Israel than Australia.

Paul1405,

I agree the Vietnam War was unjustified and crazy; probably neither side would've bothered fighting if they'd known their opponents' true objectives. But how was the Korean war unjustified or crazy? Didn't South Korea deserve to be protected?

CHERFUL,

Multiculturalism is about culture, not loyalty.

ttbn,

Parasites?!? Are you trying to outcompete Mr 0 in the racial prejudice stakes?

Dear Aidan,

China has made it quite clear that it will not abide with International Law unless the decision favours the Chinese position. China has said it will not comply with any ruling that is contrary to its annexation of the South China Sea and it is ready to fight a war if does not get its way in the South China Sea.

Your comments on Israel and the Korean War in your last post show that you have a very odd way of constructing history. It's the sort of construction I would expect from a Year 8 secondary school student. I really don't think you have ever studied history at university let alone have a degree in history.

And 'Multiculturalism is about culture .....' Really! This shows that you know even less about anthropology and sociology than you do about history.

As a pacifists I see all wars as unjustified and crazy, even the so called "police action" in Korea. Some participants see their personal involvement as doing their part in supporting the noble cause, so be it. Am I anti American, yes when it comes to their militarism I am. Post WWII the US has taken a very aggressive and belligerent attitude towards others, During the Cold War they seen the Soviet Union as the great enemy, spreading communism and a danger to capitalism. To some degree that was most likely true, but did it justify wars and the slaughter of millions, no!
Some forumites have a 1960's mentality and once more are waving their 'ALL The Way With LBJ' placards, wanting Australia to provide our usual bit of token support to an aggressive America. Are the Chinese justified in their action, No! That however does not necessarily make the other side right. Australia would be much better served if it took a neutral stance and used its diplomatic influence with both China and the US to help achieve a peaceful outcome, instead of providing some token military backing for the Americans, as per usual. Lets hope Turnbull is a far more enlighten Liberal than his predecessors in the party, and purses a peaceful outcome.
