There’s a new chief 4rselicker at the head of a conga-line of suckholes, just like the old chief 4rselicker at the head of a conga-line of suckholes

Yep – Eastern treatment of its minorities today- is what western treatment used to be – so we can be proud of what we are today.

Unfortunately we have a small population with many other smaller landmass countries having cities with larger population than our whole Continent. So I don’t mind being in a strong relationship with the USA – rather than any other country on the planet.
We, in reality, don’t have a defence force or capability and we are in the same positions we were at the beginning of World War ll. Enthusiastic but piss weak.

Now with multiculturalism large segments of the population would fight on the side of China or Hamas anyway.

It seems highly likely China will conflate us and the US from now on, and who can blame them. Unfortunately extending to popular perception as well, if this social media evidence is anything to go on.

The Chinese bloggers clearly don’t understand how pathetically superficial our media are. Yes, they ‘dared’ to broadcast this, but only to embarrass Albanese as a dill (which is not incorrect, of course). But none of our ‘daring’ media thought to portray this as further evidence of our sycophantic prostitution of our national interest and security to our US puppet-masters, or even to see that we are sycophantically prostituting ourselves to US hegemony – always.
