It’s aggravating they’re such a danger because they’re all such pathetic losers.

Exactly. When communities have organised in response, the NSN get chased up the road even when they bring out knives (see: failed attack on Gummo Cafe). But when a community does nothing, they’re left with a group of a couple of dozen interstate tourists trying to seek attention and intimidate people, often with a police line protecting them. Any group of a dozen, no matter how pathetic, will make unorganised individuals less likely to do anything, and the problem only grows if they gain greater numbers to mobilise.

One of them is on record at a UK fascist conference saying that when they’re outnumbered and getting told to leave, they “feel like shit, it’s horrifying”.

Australia? We couldn’t possibly be. imma have to demand evidence.

It’s self-defense, and it’s community defense.

I didn’t look the first time I read this, but wow that’s bad. I shot better with an automatic SMG the first time I held a gun in my life.

Their are 3 countries with rare earth minerals

There are more, and I don’t know any specific REM primarily in those three countries. But yeah, they’re three of the more important ones, alongside USA, India, Brazil, Russia and Paraguay.

Most of out trade is with China so us cutting us off has very little impact on our trade.

I think ‘very little’ is exaggerating (apparently 11% of imports and 5% of exports), but yep, we have other options if push comes to shove.

+1 for the soft power tools being their benefit rather than ours. +1 for us hosting critical intel bases.

Most of them I want gone. From that list, I only use one or two Google/YouTube products, and am forced on a couple of the social medias only for specific event chatrooms.

You’re right, it’s cultural dominance and propaganda, not reliance. They benefit from it more than we do.

I don’t think the Telegraph understand how codenames work lol

Does OP ever post anything but negative stories about China?

I believe that OP is the fourth of a series of German-manned accounts (the previous accounts being 0x815 then thelucky8, and then randomname) all following the same posting pattern and almost exclusively posting the same kind of news. In short, it’s a propaganda operation (regardless of whether it’s one person acting on their own beliefs, or not).

When you see this pattern, it’s pretty disingenuous that they keep switching accounts and doing the same thing. Assuming they are the same person, their posting has received complaints here before.

I couldn’t see an Australian source saying where in the sea this occured. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims this happened on the Paracel Islands:

“The Australian military airplane deliberately intruded into China’s airspace over Xisha Qundao (Paracel Islands) without China’s permission. Such move violated China’s sovereignty and undermined China’s national security,” said Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun, according to a transcript.

“China has lodged serious protests with Australia and urged it to stop infringing on China’s sovereignty and making provocations and stop disrupting peace and stability in the South China Sea.”

The ownership of the islands remains hotly contested. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) on mainland China, Vietnam, and the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan all claim de jure sovereignty, although the PRC has had de facto control of the archipelago since the Battle of the Paracel Islands in January 1974. In July 2012, China (PRC) established Sansha, Hainan Province, as administering the area. In February 2017, the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative reported 20 outposts of the PRC built on reclaimed land in the Paracels, three of which contain small harbours capable of berthing naval and commercial ships.

Looking at where Australia is on a map, and that we had a surveillance jet flying near their (claimed, and effectively owned for over 50 years) territory, I understand why they’re telling our military to fuck off. Imagine if China started flying jets around the Timor Gap, I reckon we’d tell them the same.
