Primitive is a relative concept. Burke and wills were british explorers and considered themselves at the hight of civilised people yet died of thirst because they thought their civilisation superior to the aboriginal who could have shown them a near by watering spot.
They didn’t have anything resembling civilization. And there’s still aborigines around so they still exist despite the “white man coming along” as you put it
This was set in motion under Trump.Buddy, when China takes over the Pacific, do you plan to start screaming at Putin?
As I said, primitive is a relative concept.
You just can’t fathom how bad Donald Trump was as a US president. Okay.
Every time civilization encounters primitive people it ruins their lives. Absolutely ruins them. Primitive people are always, no exceptions, better left in their primitive state.
First of all none of this stuff about a Chinese base in the Solomons has been verified and the viability of such a base would be highly questionable as the nearness that makes a it threat also renders it as being highly vulnerable as any such base could be taken out in a heartbeat.Massive alarm bells are going off in Australia, as leaked documents have revealed that China is inking a deal with Solomon Islands for setting up a Chinese military/naval base there, off Australia's eastern coast.
That's quite a major flanking maneuver to outflank the Australian and US naval forces.
Basically, this looks like Guadalcanal from WW2 - like we're seeing a repeat of WW2 Japan's military strategic moves to particular islands across the Pacific. So we've seen this shit before, and should be able to remember what the next moves will be.
Bah - no big deal - should be a piece of cake to handle with Neville Biden in charge. Vice-Commander Kamala should be able to handle this as effectively as she handled the southern border.
In Australia's Backyard - China Inks Pact With Solomon Islands To Set Up A Possible 'Military Base' In The Region?
The Solomon Island government’s confirmation on the security deal with China has alarmed both Australia and New Zealand who see it as a move for the superpower to get a strong foothold in their backyard. “The government is working to sign off and implement several development frameworks with...eurasiantimes.com
Asia Minute: Is China moving toward a naval base in the Solomon Islands?
China and the Solomon Islands are working on a security agreement — and a draft version that has leaked is raising alarms elsewhere in the Pacific. HPR’s Bill Dorman has more in this Asia Minute.www.hawaiipublicradio.org
so you don't believe that presidents should be accountable while in office -- at least not Democrat presidents. Once a Republican president gets into office, then you'll be happy to say the buck stops with them. Got it.You just can’t fathom how bad Donald Trump was as a US president. Okay.
Nope. Australia isn't Russia comrade.Ohh, you mean its doorstep proximity and the prospect of it aligning with an opposing power means that it could be pre-emptively attacked or invaded?
So the question then is - what letter will Aussie ships have painted on them?
It's what's known as "Fighting the Long War".
And China isn't America. (Which isn't an observation that means what you probably think it does.)
So you've just told me your values for international relations aren't consistent. "Not Russia" isn't really something the entire world can revolve around.
Australia isn't in the habit of unilaterally deploying the use of military force against sovereign nations to effect regime change and/or to seize territory from afore mentioned sovereign states. Russia is. Despite your delirious delusions to the contrary. But carry on comrade. I know you got a job to do that requires pleasing your handlers.
I don't know if you've heard - but America is indeed in the habit of doing such things, and Australia has gone along with it on multiple occasions. The US initiated war against North Vietnam using the flimsy Gulf of Tonkin pretext - and Australian soldiers did fight in that war.
China has bases in 4 other countries... the USA has bases in 48 other countries... something like 300+ overseas bases while China has about 10.Massive alarm bells are going off in Australia, as leaked documents have revealed that China is inking a deal with Solomon Islands for setting up a Chinese military/naval base there, off Australia's eastern coast.

Equally:
You would do a whole lot better if you actually knew what the US government's ACTUAL policies and practices are.
Slightly dated (it's from 2015), but still mostly accurate is the "800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad" from "Where in the World Is the U.S. Military?".
There are days when you want to wonder if American would get any exercise at all if it didn't run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
And Russian and Chinese soldiers fought in the Vietnam as well. So what's your point?
The Ukrainian people weren't going to accept a Putin puppet heading up their government in 2014 and they certainly aren't going accept one now no matter what. As Russia is learning now the hard way.
Indeed, from July 1965 to December 1974, more than 6000 generals and officers and more than 4,500 soldiers were sent to Vietnam as specialists. Of those around 16 were fatalities.
Well, the US and the CIA most certainly weren't - and got their way in an election in which the "pro-Russia" areas were largely denied the vote. Of course the "duly elected" President turned out to be more than slightly corrupt.
In the parts of Ukraine that Russia isn't actively interested in, you are quite correct.
Whether or not Russia is going to be able to hold on to the areas of Ukraine that it is actively interested in is still undecided. Don't go any higher than your lunch money, and bet whichever way you feel like betting.
