SMH – BARACK OBAMA is to announce that the US will begin rotating Marines through an Australian base in Darwin in a permanent new military presence, intensifying the alliance in a sign of heightened concern about China.
…..The Marines are the chief US ground combat force in the Pacific theatre, the so-called ”tip of the spear”. …..”This is all about the rise of China, the modernisation of the People’s Liberation Army and, particularly, it’s about the increased vulnerability of US forces in Japan and Guam to the new generation of Chinese missiles,” said Alan Dupont, the Michael Hintze professor of international security at Sydney University.
”The new Chinese missiles could threaten them in a way they’ve never been able to before, so the US is starting to reposition them to make them less vulnerable. Australia’s ‘tyranny of distance’ is now a distinct strategic advantage.”
A warm welcome to the United States Marine Corps.
Let me be the first with this idea, can you guys arrange a bi-annual blow-shit-up display for us? Come on please, we’ll supply the scrap to be blown up, plenty of bicycles, electric cars and other eco-crap lying around here. Come on, you know you want to….. oh alright just once a year is fine too, but you must have the initial one [part of your grand entrance] soon after you land and it can’t count to the annual tally.
As you expect, some of the local greenies, lefties and other assorted scumbags are feeling whiny about this announcement. Apparently one of them is hoping to whine to Barack Obama in person when he comes here, in which case President Obama will not be faulted for parting with a – Semper Fi bitch!
