I'm not really sure I understand the Sino-Oz tussle.
Is it just one of those tit-for-tat things that just escalated?

But when it involves journalist being detained and kicked out, that's not good.  Though NYT and WSJ reporters get booted from China now and then.

Officials from the Chinese Ministry of National Security knocked on the doors of the two Aussie journalists (White males) at separate locations around midnight.
"You are a person of interest in the case of ........
(Aussie female journalist of Chinese heritage who grew up in Oz and was working for China state media in China and who has been arrested and held in China)...you will not be allowed to leave China."
Both journalists are now home safely.
Only one Oz journalist left in China now...the one in prison.

What's going on?
Xi is picking fights with everyone, and has told his people to prepare for war...according to experts on my tv kast night.
They also said that Australia should prepare for an invasion.
Charming.
Exactly why Australia should've had nuke-armed subs long ago.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Given that Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Sanders are favoured to win the election...the question is...if China were to invade
Australia, would they go to war with China?

What is the context here?   The sound is poor quality,  and a viewer has no idea what precipitated the confrontation with the manager.   No competent journalist would run a story on a couple minutes of video without some context.  Could  this be why only partisan hacks dumped this on social media?   "Look,  angry black people!  Scary! "

No explanation IOW. 

Trump insulted John McCain's service in the military,  in front of a microphone, in 2015.  T or F?   

Plenty of examples like that,  where it's on the record.  Your denials are childish.

In campaign - much worse said of Trump.

And every bit of it true.

You are a disciple in a cult.

The attacks on Trump were just on him,  and his character.  The slurs against McCain et al were against a large group of people.   There's a difference between condemning an individual for their words and actions,  and condemnation of a whole class of people.   The latter is bigotry.   If Trump isn't capable of understanding why keeping your shit together for years in a pow camp is heroic,  then he isn't fit to be commander-in-chief.

More childish whataboutism from Kid.

America is going to mine on the moon.
International agreement is being sought so countries will sign up not to do that.

I know work isn't your thing,  but your quarters would be underground and hermetically sealed.   Dare to dream!

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Look! A non-denial.

AKA "He started it!" except that McCain did not start it. Nor did he say "much worse" during the campaign.

Project Veritas catches a double voter. NH doesn't act swiftly enough for their tastes, though.


Steer clear of this outlet run by Falun Gong. It’s the epitome of fake news

This one was also in the local NH paper. I don't trust O'Keefe, but that doesn't make every single thing he does wrong, merely wrongly motivated.

Once again, I am prompted to link to one of my favorite zoological topics....

https://gizmodo.com/wombat-poop-is-cube-shaped-1603606922

When you squeeze out little bricks,  it's easy to keep your shit together.

Ultimately, some species may evolve Lego shaped scat,  and be able to build veritable fortresses of feces.
