Obviously Australia's AUKUS alliance partners UK and US think there's a free-world security problem in Asia-Pacific/Oceania...as Australia is to get hypersonic missiles in 2024.
No degree from Harvard needed to see what's going on in the world today...see that Russia and China, now very best buddies, are taking over the world by stealth and force....one country at a time.
The free-world was conned.
Played for fools and took the bait.
Sooner or later, (it's almost too late), the free-world is going to have to work smarter.
First thing it should do is establish who's in and who's not in...the FWA , Free World Alliance it should form to stand against the CRB, China-Russia Bloc and its allies.
Best of luck to countries declaring themselves 'neutral', they'll be sitting ducks.
The FWA countries should then be armed to the teeth with the latest weapons.
They should also be weaned off China manufacturing as soon as possible, making white goods, microchips, cars, ships, clothing, watches, clocks, toys, cell phone covers, saucepans, crockery, glasses, vacuum cleaners etc etc on their own soil.
*Everything* I pick up is 'made in China'...it's ridiculous.

Absolutely pathetic scenes from the White House yesterday from that Obama return.
There is Mr. Arrogance in all his faux splendor holding court while Joe Biden is wandering aimlessly trying to talk to anyone.
Need any democrat break the news to Joe that he may be President but he is only a figurehead in the party?
Also interesting that the stated reason for the presence of His Arrogance was a celebration of ObamaCare.
Really?
The passage of ObamaCare led directly to 60 congressional democrats walking the plank and then the  total loss of democrat control of Congress.
Meanwhile Obama will be back on the road to building mansions and Libraries celebrating his great love of self.

You Cartoonishly Partisan Hack.

31 million Americans have health insurance thanks to the ACA and it continues to poll at well over 50% (Oh those polls!). So yeah, very much something to celebrate: a popular program that helps millions.

If you say so.
But give sleepy Joe some love. No one else is in his own party.

The hormone shots are working. You are almost a complete jackass now. Congratulations.

Yes they are you CPH. But because it is a functioning political party rather than a cult of personality, there are also disputes and criticisms. It is not like the Repo party where opposition to the required doctrine get you labeled a child molester by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Putin.

Really?
What required doctrine?

Contempt of Congress is so cut and dry that sitting republican congressidiots can only fill time further incriminating themselves in the seditious conspiracy that anchors them in their continued efforts to defraud the United States.

There is no bigger and sadder display of malice and mental illness than the republican caucus.

The soft power strategies, as exampled by the Belt & Road initiative, will be the hardest to counter.  For example, are we willing to go to Africa and offer them tens of billions in new roads?  Are we willing to offer India support at the level Russia is?

Can we not just ban for trolling and offtopic and be done with it?   I see no need for a site-wide ban, just this forum.  They can go "discuss" this up in the Arts threads.

They?

Oh come on!

There is nothing to discuss.

I realize the engine of trolling here was Forrest and not you.  He should move his Louis CK and Woody's woody chat up to celebs or other arts threads.  My hope would be no one takes any more bait.  Louis may be a masturbator, but Ham is a master  baiter.

It would be a damn good idea. Roads and renewables and medicines and signal everywhere they fit. The cost of not doing it far exceeds the cost of doing it.

Ham aint mastered shit.

He is a messy biter.

I will give him that.

Marjorie Puttin(g) Greene?

Not a hole I'd want to play.

The World Bank just invited me to join a private group, and they sent me a list of questions to answer to see if I am the type of person that they want in their group. I support the World Bank, I support reducing poverty and easing suffering and helping the children. It might turn out to be an interesting group, and maybe I can contribute towards helping to make the world a better place.

I hung out on the New York Times forums with people from the World Bank, and from the International Monetary Fund, as they worked to reduce poverty in the world and worked to save struggling economies.

So that is cool, the World Bank private group might turn out to be cool.

Salute,

Tony V.

True Bambu, the people of Ukraine were assured peace with Russia, only to have Putin turn out to be a war criminal.

Right now the world needs to build the case against Putin as being a war criminal, and the world needs to condemn Putin.

And that is why it is important for us to have a culture and a tradition of helping other people when they need help. Right now Ukraine needs help, so we need to help Ukraine, and then when the next problem happens then we can help the next guy. Then if it ever gets to a point where California needs help then I hope people will help California.

We need to all help each other in our time of need, and right now we need to help Ukraine.

Salute,

Tony V.
