Lots of videos of gestapo tactics in Australia (and elsewhere) where the police are beating the shit out of anti-vaxx mandate protesters, people not wearing their masks, etc.

For a virus that has a 99.9% survival rate.


So you say that there are videos of cops beating up people for not wearing a mask? Like walking down the street not wearing a mask and a cop comes up and beats them?

Not maskless person is asked to put on a mask in a grocery store, they throw a hissy snit and the cops drag them out?

Here is a guy who did not get beaten up at all:

I am sure there are many examples in Oz of their dipshits doing stuff like this and not getting their asses kicked either.

I once got my ass kicked by cops for protesting the Iraq war in 2003 at a legally permitted rally. They just came in and beat people up and hauled about 1/2 of them to jail.

People loved it when anti-war protesters got beat up. Why the change of heart over anti-mask people getting beat up?

You might want to look into actual gestapo procedures before spouting juvenile nonsense because it sure does not help strengthen any argument you are trying to make.

They have the area denial tech in terms of missiles to effectively keep America out of the area (outside of subs) or face the choice of risking a carrier air group, which I don't think the US would do. They can destroy the Taiwanese air force with their surface to surface missiles.
Thing is, the US Navy has a couple of those carrier groups. There being only one mainland China, they would be risking a whole lot more in that kind of gamble.

I don't see it happening anytime soon, but I will admit I am not up to speed on that whole side of the world.

Starve the island out.

Its a continent. Small, continent wise but big country wise.

And Oz ranks as "Beyond Self Sufficient" as far as food production goes meaning they produce over 110% of the food they consume in total calories.

China is marginally self-suffient. Meaning they can feed their population as long they they do not do something dumb like support a naval blockade of a small continent.

This stuff is pretty easy to look up. I am getting drunk andhave been smoking weed since 4pm and this was no effort at all.

Where are you getting this stuff? This is acquired, categorized and sorted ignorance .... It doesnt just come from 1000 magas banging away at typewrters.
The collapse of Oz is a total MAGA thing too....cmon spill...where did you get it from?

Tarkan's post was referring to Taiwan, not Australia. Must be good ganja ;-)

35% of calories produced on the island.

China is #3 on the military power index score.

#4, 5 and 6 are India, Japan and Sth Korea.

We still got this covered.

Seems a silly index if the top 5 doesn't include France and the UK, what with both having the subs as well as the nuclear missiles.

I know it's difficult for you, but pretend there is this place called "not Europe" where people who live there don't even think about Europe.

Europeans have always had difficulty with this concept.

Yes, people are always failing to factor in the Non-Europe League of Nations, led by the triumvirate of Nauru, Monaco and Antartica. Threats of sunburn, loaded dice and ice shelf calving deserve the same consideration as immolation by ballistic missile subs.

Once again ROB, too many words, poorly chosen and not really responsive to el3so's statement.

"HONK!", remember? we've talked about this before. If you keep peeing in an ever shrinking sandbox, soon even cats won't shit in it. Then you'll be alone, like you finally were at, well, you know.

Nah mate, that little list you posted is dogshit and you know it.
Even if it was an "Asian-Pacific only military power index score", it seems off.

I don't think the US could beat China in a protracted war at this point, especially a non-nuclear one.

I don't even know if the US could survive if China simply implemented an embargo on us. We get something like 80% of our raw pharmaceutical compounds from them. Going to be a lot of dead Americans who can't get their chemo or diabetes meds if China decides to cut us off. Not to mention a sizable chunk of our manufacturing supply chain depends on raw and unfinished goods from China.
I'd whore myself out just one more time if I knew who to screw to get out of this grind.

You should write them a sternly worded letter.
