Rather pointless, I’d say.
Why? why is he really doing this?
Another GLORIOUS day in the history of the Corps.
I can see it now;
“Whats that? A few billion Chinese need to kept in check? Ok,, 2 company’s of Marines nearby should be about right”
Publicity like this?? Did my beloved corps PAY the Chicoms to get angry about this? This is GREAT!! LOL
They’ll have a lot of volunteers! What a great assignment!
(Cue hysterical laughter...)
This is a sovereign matter for Australia. Our Chinese (economic) friends (not owners) should kindly desist from interfering in Australia’s internal affairs. China, am sure, wouldn’t appreciate it if the shoe was on the other foot. And, unless China is planning to invade Australia, there is no need for them to be alarmed about US military presence in Australia. In fact, I think it can be a win-win situation for all those concerned, and for different reasons.
WOW 2500 US Marines will send China a message...
While I greatly admire the US Marine Corps I do think it is stretching it a bit when it’s thought One Marine is worth 100,000 CRGs..I sorta believe even the Marines who are a bit more realistic .feel that way..
Next thing we have to do is start using Da Nang and Subic Bay again.
The Chi Coms absolutely hate the Marine Corps. for incidents just after WW 2 and especially for the Chosin Reservoir. The Corps was a major thorn in there sides during Maos take over and they still haven’t forgotten this. So to them I am sure they are taking this as a deliberate insult. Even though our Commander in Thief hasn’t the slightest clue about anything historical.
