'Five Eyes' a likely story..

#1 Post by John Hill » Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:22 pm

The New Zealand tour of Pakistan was abandoned after the New Zealand government received an alert from the “Five Eyes” intelligence group about a "direct and imminent" threat to its team, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief executive Wasim Khan said on Sunday.
This 'intelligence' no doubt came from the same reliable source that told us about Saddam's bio warfare labs and the terrorist car zapped from the sky at Kabul. I am not convinced.

Last thing I saw NZ was still a member of the Five Eyes so you seem to be suggesting that the NZ government should have gone against the advice of it's own intelligence services.

I guess you don't really know how Five Eyes works.

I guess NZ could start a new intel alliance with the Chinks. 'Slitty eyes' maybe?

At least you have wankerish lefty politics in common with them.

No charge.

I cannot believe a decent country like NZ would snuggle up with a shower of communist twats like the Chinese.

How far you have fallen.

China is NZ's largest trading partner and trade is what we do.

Going to war with yer greatest provider of consumer goods, mostly on tick, is just about the craziest the thing that y'all can do.

We are not talking about going to war with anyone.

...yer greatest provider of consumer goods....

But wait until all competing providers have been put out of business by cheaper goods, then see what happens to prices.

China hasn't been communist for thirty years.

Deng Xiaoping said it's cool to get rich. Ever since then, they've been doing exactly that and they found that the only way to get rich was to dump communism and become filthy rich capitalists.

UP
Please explain that to Jack Ma and his friends. It seems that Chinese people can get rich but only under the strict control and approval of the CCP. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck painting it red fools no one - or at least, no thinking no one.
