They going to be in a big hurt when the Chinese arrive
New Zealand scraps air force warplanes

MOST of the Royal New Zealand Air Force is to be scrapped, the government said yesterday, curtailing its traditional role with Australia of helping to guarantee security in the Pacific.
The decision marked the first time the RNZAF had been without combat aircraft since it was established in 1938. It will be left with some transport aircraft and helicopters.
Dr David Dickens, director of strategic studies at Victoria University in Wellington, said: "Since the 1930s few other Western countries, except those that have been defeated in war, have gone through changes like this - disarming, in essence, a full combat side of the armed forces."
Adam Schiff urged to step down by GOP members on House Intelligence Committee
Every Republican on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday demanded Rep. Adam Schiff step down as chairman over the California Democrat’s repeated claims to have evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
In a letter, obtained by Fox News and signed by every Republican on the committee, the lawmakers slammed Schiff for his claims in the media that there was “more than circumstantial evidence” of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
New Zealand didn’t have much to scrap. 4.7 million people can’t afford much in the way of modern combat aircraft.
Houston metro area is larger at 6.77 million.
Heard plenty of anti Chinese bitching. Essentially they are buying up entire new housing developments in desired areas and driving up the prices to where the locals can’t afford to live there.
Advance troops in economic warfare.
