This video is old and I'm sure everbody is sick of talking about American politics, but screw ya'll here's a clip of takes on the election from Shanghainese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO7ADbptCbk I especially like the pro-Trump guy, who supports him for being a wildcard

Lam having to stash cash. Double if she gets robbed after announcing her loot house. The West/US still control the world's banking system, that's how sanctions work. It's how Meng got snapped. It is why China tries hard to setup these alternate financial systems. It's why they push OBOR so much. Once you realise how many tools the US has at their disposal T* looks even more of a useless incompetent bitch who would try to make a dollar off your COVID corpse if he could. Despite the tariffs most of the last 4 years has been a boon for CCP from the utter lack of leadership and US self-harm. The moment he slashed the department of State you could write off his Anti-China stance. lilbeefer posted:Can China please stop punishing Australia because Scomo asked for a coronavirus enquiry? They are trying to scare everyone into line and Australia to submit. "Wolf Diplomacy". They think it makes them look strong not the little baby bitches they are. They hit Australia as it's both small enough to bully, large enough to make an example and western without really hurting themselves too much. Smashing New Zealand would look absurd also you know food.

On the China vs Australia thing: https://www.theage.com.au/politics/...129-p56itu.html Australia is taking China to the WTO, (World Trade Organization), over their pissbaby tantrum. Dunno if it'll do much good though. As China is big enough and stubborn enough to just ignore any ruling, or punishment they might give, and the very act of Australia even suggesting to go there will anger them more. But even at it's worst, it's a very public sign that countries aren't going to roll over for China as meekly as they have before.

Posting the Photoshop is such a pissbaby move coming from China. It's like claiming to be a hero by punching a criminal after they have confessed, taken into custody at the police station and are getting ready to talk to their lawyer. Don't suppose OZ should start posting photos of real Chinese concentration camps?

Big Willy Style posted:lol Scott Morrison showed more outrage at a fake image then he did at Australian SAS murdering 39 innocents (that they know of) This reeks to me of "Sandpaper-gate" (When the Aussie Cricket team was busted using sandpaper to cheat.) Because Australians, (and I count myself amongst this), are, although not to the same extent as China, sanctimonious nationalistic whiny babies about certain things. Our ability at sport being one, and the sanctity and purity of 'the diggers' being another. Unlike the US, we dont brag about how big and tough and scary our military is. We brag about how good and noble they are. The military things we revere are Gallipoli, (a defeat), and Simpson and his donkey, (a bloke who would walk to and from the battlefield ferrying the wounded to base on his donkey). So when it came out that the Australian SAS were shooting handcuffed prisoners in the back of the head for fun, Everybody has lost their minds. The right, (with ScoMo being on this side), saying "How dare you accuse our good noble butter wouldn't belt in their mouths boys of something so horrible? There must be some mistake! You are obviously unaustralian baddies for bringing it up" etc. And the rest of the country pearl clutching at the disgrace of it all and the stain on our national character and reputation as the good and noble goodies that we think we are. Much like in Sandpaper-gate where we all lost our collective minds about the cricket team being a bunch of cheating cunts, (which they had been for decades and everybody knew). Yes, it's a horrible image, and put out as a classic piece of CCP whataboutism. But as the poster above me says, Scomo being more outraged at the insult and obvious trolling than he is about the dead civillians that the SAS executed reeks of Australia being more concerned with how the world sees us, ( and most importantly how we see ourselves), than anything else.

Pfff hahaha, China has doubled down on the Australian photoshop in the most transparent piece of BS possible. Real heroes right here. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55140848 quote:"The accusations made are simply to serve two purposes. One is to deflect public attention from the horrible atrocities by certain Australian soldiers. The other is to blame China for the worsening of bilateral ties. There may be another attempt to stoke domestic nationalism," it said in a statement. The article is a bit of a hack job. quote:The tweet with the fake image was in response to an Australian Defence Force inquiry which said it found "credible information" that 25 Australian soldiers were involved in the murders of 39 Afghan civilians and prisoners between 2009 and 2013.

https://www.theage.com.au/world/eur...201-p56jew.html Dunno how much good this will actually do in terms of helping the Australian winemakers. But at the very least it shows that there is a united front against the CCP trying to bully other countries, (or "interfere in their internal affairs" if you want to use newspeak), via tarrifs etc. I mean the IPAC was founded by a Tory, and looks very much to be a right wing "We can't let those slanty eyed commos get any more wealth or power" thing. But I suppose they're doing something good here?

I'm not super familiar with the politics of all the countries who have members in IPAC but it looks like it's mostly two legislators from each, one from each side of the political spectrum. https://ipac.global/#team Personally, as an alcoholic, this has to be a good thing. Cheap Australian red?

It's normally a rectangular prism though, but I fully believe somewhere in Australia there is a 7 liter cask that is a cube.

Cask wine is best if you have a Hills Hoist upon which to attach it and play "goon of fortune". As I believe all the young kids are calling it nowadays.
