      Their civil war and Korea, I guess, though those were both a long time ago at this point. Chinese intervention pushed the US back during the Korean war

      Well they certainly havent had as much martial practise as Magastan has, so it’s hard to say, but looking at the Yank’s track record over the last couple of decades it’s not so hot either.

      so it’s really fucking annoying to concede he’s right

      One of the things I’ve found a bit disappointing in modern politics is the immediate dismissal of arguments for or against something, just because that person is on the wrong team.

      So I’m glad that someone is willing to take input from a dissenting point of view, even if it is fucking annoying.

        It’s a good point although not actually true of me. The one eyed support along party lines isnt great. I’m more supportive of Labor than LNP generally, if anything I find Keating a bit right wing. So not so much not my team as he ia “consistently a China shill for the last 20 years” is my objection.
