We're still living in the LBJ days, and the warmongers are at it again, trying to stir up a war
with China, which has become the "enemy du jour", poor uncle Vlad is going to feel neglected.
The UK are going to send over their two new monster aircraft carriers in about 2020, to do some
good old "gunboat diplomacy" where they cruise up and down the coast of a country, shelling and
machine gunning the 'clappers' out of anything that moves in the country side and surrounds
Not so much fun these days, its called "freedom of navigation" you cruise up and down, round
and around, but you can't shoot, so you just cruise around getting in everyones way, annoying the
locals who just want to get on with their normal lives and businesses.
The locals do get annoyed cause they remember the opium wars, and all the death and misery
they brought with them.

Australia risks to get involved here, cos we are still living in the past of the "lucky country",
we need to understand what is really going on.
