Australia wants to pack with the big boys!

[John Hill]

You are giving up your freedom, bit by bit.

Millions of people facing food shortages in North Korea and you have wheat to export but could you sell it to North Korea? If not, why not?

[Rwy in Sight]

We signed on as the 51st YEARS ago John!

Sucking on the hind tit of a dying empire!

I have heard they were dying long before I had an access to a tit for other reason but nursing. And they are still around aren't they?

Back in the days when I was 'on the tit' America seemed invincible and later at about the time I became aware of world news they were fighting in Korea.

Seems they have been on the evening news ever since fighting somewhere or other but the funny thing is they never show a victory parade.

Rather suck on the hind tit of freedom John than be a fair weather friend (AKA a New Zealander)...you can go and jump pal,....how can we remove all your violent criminal mates back to NZ??

[John Hill]

The crims are at home in Australia, they are what your country was founded on.

[John Hill]

Talking about fair weather friends, I trust you were not in the crush trying to get out of Kabul.

Food is a weapon.

Siege warfare is the oldest form of warfare and is the weapon of first resort for The Empire.

It doesn't work particularly well, which is why they've been using that weapon for so many decades against such disobedient places as Cuba, Iran and North Korea etc.

More food would be available if money was spent on food productions rather some eccentric devices.

What a good idea! You should send them tractors and farm machinery, fertilizers, tractor fuel and report back here.

I understand you know the country better than me, but I would have thought those items are either excluded from the sanctions or the sanctions wouldn't be necessary if the nuclear program wasn't launched in the first place.

[John Hill]

I could write a whole page about what difficulties you might have sending tractors to the DPRK but I would be totally lost for words if you were to ask me the justification for the sanctions.

[Boac]

What would be the justification for the sanctions, John?

[John Hill]

You must know that we do not ask questions on this forum.

[Boac]

Someone who suggests it is being specious.

[John Hill]

There is nothing to stop you proffering what you see as justifications for sanctions against DPRK.

[Boac]

I have no inclination (neither degrees nor radians) to.

[EA01]

NZ might find itself to be a territory of China in the not too distant future John....you can then send all the tractors and farming knowledge to NK.

[John Hill]

NZ might find itself to be a territory of China in the not too distant future John.

Or we might get wiped out by a meteorite but there is not much we could do about either except lie awake at night worrying but you seem to be doing enough of that for both of us.

[John Hill]

I have no inclination (neither degrees nor radians) to.

Quite understandable because of course there are no justifications. The UK as a permanent member of the UN Security Council cannot see the justification either but they do not use their veto for fear of offending their Septic Masters.

[EA01]

Yeah Nah...you made your bed
