“Australia is preoccupied with global warming.”

And lockdowns.

Island hopping in reverse, only eighty years later without the battle (yet).

This is odd, eighty years ago was in WWII.

Eighty years before that it was the American Civil War.

Eighty years before that it was the American Revolutionary War.

Eighty years before that it was Queen Anne’s War.

Is there some sort of pattern here?

At this point, being called a “neocon” is becoming a badge of honor. I’d much rather be tagged with that “slur” than be associated with the type of people tossing it around against anyone who disagrees with them.

“Australia is preoccupied with global warming.”

And the ‘rona vaccinations and mask edicts from on high.

The island of Tarawa(Kiribati) was sinking due to global warming. The people said so. Who is the worst polluter putting out those gases? They’re making a deal with the devil they don’t know. Chicoms want the fish.

the Commie/Nazis are at least consistent

1. supporting terrorist murder gangs like PLO/Abbas/Hezballah
2. supporting Iranian dictators’ nuclear bomb and ICBM building program
3. supporting Communist Chinese takeovers of China Sea and now the South Pacific approaching Hawaii

plus, of course, baiting and enabling open warfare in Europe

The combined losses of all these forces amounted to: Killed including from injuries and missing were 1,342 of the Marine Corps and wounded were 3,170; US Navy lost 4,737 including missing at sea and 2,344 were wounded; US Army’s Americal Division lost 344 while 855 were wounded; US 25th Infantry division (late entrant into the battle) lost 216 with 439 wounded; USAAF Thirteenth Air force lost 93 while many were injured; US Navy lost 41 airmen and the Marine corps air arm lost many but their number has not been disclosed. Americans who were taken prisoner were never heard of again.

These places are seeking welfare payments from Chairman Xi. They need to look at how well that worked for Sri Lanka. When implementing commie policies killed the economy AND the food supply Xi wouldn’t rescue them further. Wouldn’t even write down their Chinese debt as they’d come to expect from stupid Uncle Sugar.

Eddie Albert was the coxswain on a landing craft at the battle of Tarawa. He won the Bronze Star with "V" device for his actions there.
