Birmingham is either a moron or deaf. Which part of ‘not answering the phone’ doesn’t he get. Good cop, bad cop doesn’t work in foreign diplomacy via a public arena.
Scomo is banging on about values non negotiable, would that imply invading foreign lands under a narrow US coalition and now embroiled in war crimes? Well guess what, our special forces will do well in Kashmir, lots of Muslims to shoot and these forces can’t wait for the Senkou islands and help Japan.
They want to send a direct message, start restricting iron ore shipments. Come on Scomo do some reverse coercion. You have already dug your heel in, pull the damn trigger. We have gone over the edge of no diplomatic return so double up. Time for action, enuf said.
