Two of the world’s emptiest puppets meet up for a MENSA convention. Very foolish game that we have no right to play. US is in the wrong on this unilateral escalation and we would do best to stay away and advise them to pull their head in.

Beijing’s South China Sea reaction ‘doesn’t correspond with reality’ | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Dave Sharma has downplayed talk of tensions with China over Australia’s submission to the United Nations rejecting Beijing’s maritime claims in the South China Sea. \n\nThe government has backed the United States in opposing China's construction of artificial islands and military bases in the strategic waterway, claiming it was invalid. \n\nMr Sharma told Sky News Australia’s move was “unremarkable' and only “reflects our legal position on these views on the legitimacy of certain territorial claims made in the South China Sea”. \n\n“We were, in fact, responding to a Chinese submission there so it would be odd if we didn’t put our own legal view on the record here, there’s nothing provocative about that,” he said. \n \n“It’s a straight-forward act in international affairs … and I think the reaction, at least from some quarters in China …. doesn’t really correspond with the reality.\n\nImage: AP DaveSharma Sharma Llama Ding-Dong DaveSharma You can tell Australia is a mess when Dave Sharma has to play the adult when it comes to diplomatic relations with China in the Liberal Party. DaveSharma So we can assume, Zionist Israel claim to Palestine will be revoked?
