thinkverylittle,

I missed your second effort. You are clearly one of these people who sets about looking for material that suits your particular stance. We can all do that. There are all sorts of liars and lunatics on the internet and in the media. If you don't look past the usual bigmouths and do some serious reading, you will remain ignorant and gullible. No. I don't intend to give you any references. You are clearly not a reader, couldn't manage the material, and you wouldn't change you mind anyway. I'm still interested to see your take on next year, though.

Dear thinkabit,

The deep aversion for the truth is certainly confounding, but unfortunately it is the new reality in a Trumpian world and one that will take a while to wash through. But this too will pass. The deep seated desire for authoritarianism and its easy answers is something which has always been there however it needs a full airing for people to see just how bereft it is.

The pendulum is swinging though and we will value sanity, truth and decency in a way that will let them flourish in our societies.

Better days ahead I'm sure of it.

ttbn,

What you need to keep in mind re China and Taiwan is that they are still having a civil war (China stands to North Korea as Taiwan stands to South Korea) and I think that it is a civil war that the PRC will win once it makes the decision to invade Taiwan.

I think this will happen 2021 and I think China will neutralise Australia as a preliminary step. A bit like Japan's attack on America before launching its invasion of SE Asia and the western Pacific.

Dear Ttbn,

Most of us are going to have a wonderful year in 2021, the year of the vaccine, the year when our freedoms are going to be gradually returned, but since you are not interested in the jab, I will eagerly take your place in the queue!

I cannot wait and we cannot afford to wait any longer: many of my family and friends overseas have already been vaccinated or made an appointment to get the needle in the next few days - only here in Australia this ScoMo denies me the freedom to determine for myself what I put in my own body, caring not for our suffering because he values the prestige of his bureaucracy above our well-being, not to speak of personal freedoms. Never mind, he will yield because the reality of COVID will force him to. My estimate is that he will not be able to hold till March, so we will start vaccinating in early February.

Regarding the Chinese issue, it is wildly exaggerated.
Yes, trade with China is going to grind to a halt this year and diplomatic relations are also likely to be severed, but in all likelihood that will be about it. Economic hardship, yes, but no hot war is on the cards. Regional cooperation against the enemy will increase and America too under Biden will gradually emerge from it's paralysis and become more involved in the region.

We will be happier this coming year and after what we experienced, we will appreciate and guard our freedom even more.

I wish you and your family a blessed and healthy new year.

Yuyutsu,

Are you aware that the China - Taiwan conflict is actually a civil war?

It is all about uniting the Chinese as a nation under a common system of governance.

The PRC will win the civil war and I think they might try it in 2021 while the rest of the world is still reeling from the impact of the pandemic.

Yuyutsu,

I did not say that I wasn’t “interested in the jab”. I’m a firm believer in vaccination - when it’s available, which it doesn’t look like being here any time soon. But, vaccination, and an end to the China virus does not necessarily mean an end to the removal of freedoms. In fact, it is the way we have tamely accepted strictures on our freedoms that has emboldened sinister so-called elites and politicians to try the Great Reset on us, with more losses of freedoms.

I think that your are very naive about the China, but time will tell. If you truly believe that you will be better off next year, good luck to you. You disagree with me, and that’s fine; unlike thinkabit and steelereduxe, who used irrelevant twaddle about “truth”, to show that, as they always do, their only interest is to put down people they don’t like. They have no interest in discussion.

On China, the latest news is that their own virus has increased steeply in the last few days. Medical staff are being silenced. And it is 12 months since the doctor who first alerted the world of the virus is claimed to have died of the virus. Additionally, China is experiencing unusually cold weather, with predictions of minus 40 degrees. Coal shortages, bans on heating homes. Not looking good for the temperament of the mad dogs of the CCP, whom I believe will cause a lot more trouble for us in 2021.
