G'day Belly...

I understand you're a compassionate man, and I respect you for that. Others seem to think I'm all for keeping kids in cages. I'm clearly not. However, despite their age and mentality, some are more than capable of occasioning harm to others, given the right situation.

A bloke I know well, formerly an AFP member, was sent to Afghanistan with the AFP. They were deployed as Peacekeepers, together with training the local Police in procedural, and anti-corruption strategies. His detachment lasted 3 months. On his return, he took LWP for a period of 6 or 9 months. On this occasion, he volunteered to work over there, with the International Civil Aid Group.

On the day in question, just outside Kabul, the National Capital, while walking alone among, small groups of villager's, as was a common practice. Unarmed and clearly attired in his Civil Aid - Red Crescent Uniform; he was delighted to have small groups of these young children welcoming him. That is until this youngster of around 9 years of age, managed to get within 6 feet of him, whereupon he detonated a suicide bomb, utterly eviscerating the boy completely. My mate survived, and after over 20 + surgical procedures, undertaken in Germany and later on, Australia. He's now confined to a wheelchair for life. Although this event happened over 6 years ago now, he still has another 4 or 5 surgeries yet to go.

Belly for the most part, and in most cultures, children even adolescents, adhere to their parents demands, it's something they do automatically. It's not the child, it's the heinous parents who inculcate these murderous instructions into the minds of these kids! In Vietnam, you'd 'never' allow a kid to approach you, those who try are warned, should they continue, they're shot.

These kids previously confined in US Cages, are likely harmless. However, one should never discount the potential of a child - either from a Law-Enforcement perspective, or a military interpretation. You do so at your own peril?

O Sung Wu,

The stories now coming out of the United States are so
devastating they can only be described as a national
moral stain: five year olds being led away by officers
who say they are giving them a bath, only for their
parents to then be told they won't be seeing them again;
mothers being deported and forced to leave children with
no way of contacting them; hundreds of terrified children
locked with chain-link fence walls, aka cages, while an
official jokingly describes their cries as "an orchestra."

And the best that you can come up with is telling me not
to be "rude?"

Then you go on and tell Belly that " these kids are likely
harmless ... however one should never discount the
potential of a child from a law enforcement perspective
or a military interpretation - you do so at your own peril."

Frankly, I'm speechless.

Another population related international issue. Mexico has 123 Million people most of them want to go to the USA. Not all of them can go- so the USA needs to be more aggressive than those attempting to get in. This is a population war. All wars are bloody. But certain groups within the USA don't care about the US or the rights of the US citizens- these groups are probably traitors.

I can understand "the get rich or die trying" motivation but the west can't help everyone. For certain groups to suggest that they can is irresponsible and is the cause of suffering. I agree that certain companies have previously engaged in questionable conduct and this probably needs to be addressed.

There has been a world economic war (balance of trade/ geopolitical) in progress since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and probably before. The only thing I've been able to think of that could stop the madness is restricting the free movement of business requirements- labour, capital, resources.

There has already been some movement in this direction.

Scarce resources need alternatives.

Maybe in the future we can stop the boom bust by meeting demand with supply but I'm not sure the human race is that wise.

We can only live in peace if both sides choose it- maybe we need to destroy our opponents. It's our children or theirs.

The fake stories by the leftist media including time magazine. Oh well the Trump haters are not concerned by the receiving fake media reports. Good to see him fighting back with parents and relatives of those murdered by illegal immigrants. Hopefully enough interested by the truth to expose the hypocritical Hilary lovers.

No concern for those permanently separated from families by illegal immigrants who murdered? Silence is deafening!

By golly FOXY you've been saving that one up for quite awhile - to unleash one of your more barbed responses. Well at least I know where I stand with you.
