USA and Australia do NOT want a Chinese military presence in Solomon Islands (roughly 2000 km from Australia). The PM of Australia is using the term "red line" sounding a lot like Putin circa 2008 when NATO left an invitation open to Ukraine and Georgia. Let's hope this does not result in a military conflict.

On Tuesday, Kritenbrink reiterated the US's willingness to act in the region if a military base were established by China.

"Of course, we have respect for the Solomon Islands sovereignty, but we also wanted to let them know that if steps were taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power projection capabilities, or a military installation, then we would have significant concerns, and we would very naturally respond to those concerns," he said.

Pressed on whether he would rule out the prospect of the US taking military action against Solomon Islands were a naval base to be established, and, if not, whether he was comfortable with Australian prime minister Scott Morrison's talk of the base being a "red line" for Australia, he said: "I don't have a lot to add beyond what I've already stated.

Yes yes, and Kim Jong Un also talks about launching nukes every few years. Until we actually see a western power launch military campaigns against other powerful nations, it's hard to declare the things these officials say as little more than bravado and gamesmanship.

The past 77 years are a testament to that reality with even the Cold War leading to only proxy wars at worst.

LOL. CCP Mac Man working overtime to cover up his fatherland's colonial ambitions. Sri Lanka is already in tatters per FT after the China Borg absorbed whatever life was in that island and got its port and the 25 million natives apparently are destitute thanks to CCP. Of course Solomons are not even SL. Here, the only goal for CCP thugs is to mount clandestine terrorist attacks against western nations using these islands as one base.

What's with the Putin reference? He is your BFF. Even held off his Ukraine invasion till the cursed Schmolympics were done.

I think it is cute that you link cherry picked western news media articles to somehow support your CCP propaganda. See, a western person could not do that to you, I. E. Provide a link to a Chinese media article to support the western argument. For the simple reason that anyone who dares to move his lips in even slight oblique criticism of CCP is silenced immediately. I am glad you found your way out of that land and enjoying the fruits of western freedom and are able to freely spread the CCP propaganda against the same west.

How is the zero Covid policy? I heard 4 million cases and only 2 deaths. Amazing natural immunity the Chinese seem to have. Very believable too. As credible as the CCP published stats about China's GDP.

A PE manager Shaan dared to speak a few words on camera about the true state of affairs in China. Poor fella, didn't know he was files filmed. Now he is headed in the same direction of Jack Ma and worse.

For China let try to destroy them from within, but we let these guys grow way too much! Chinese are way smarter than dumb Russian and are in completely different level of problem!

Modern Western policy generally does not directly encroach on the sovereignty of powerful nations, just weak or third world nations which is why I think Russia's security concerns are unwarranted, at least regarding western advancement. For powerful nations, the method of battle is through cultural or economic influence.

The incorporation of Russian-bordering nations into NATO was won by western political-economic influence rather than by hostility or aggression. It's like Russia is losing a board game and is now deciding to flip the whole game board over because they can't win by the rules and maintaining decorum.

You are as clear as The Ganges on a hot Sunday.

Yet being ambiguous is being better than being ridiculously repulsive to other humans in every way. Sorry for your unfortunate situation. It probably won't get any better any time soon for you. Go tell more lies about dating supermodels.

[Pistons]

No ambiguity. Clear message: Pistons is too dense and recollection of conversation is too inconsistent with logical flow of normal human thought. Too many words and effort required to keep pointing out same repetitive fallacies. In short, don't debate people with developmental issues.

Meanwhile continues to skirt disingenuous claims of dating supermodels because he and everyone knows it's a blatant fabrication from a pathological liar.

Usually, it is free option that I often managed to do during doggy to put my thumb, but somehow, I wanted to play with stunners anal for long period of time, so voila, I got to be medical doctor for about 15 to 20 minutes LOL! For the record, her inside of her anal did not stink LOL!

If you manage to read the post you quoted, I said Sky's parents company was not British. However, as mentioned plenty of times, Sky UK was always British. Just like Reuters.
