#2 "The watershed moment will be if Australia is armed with nuclear submarines to be locally produced in Australia, Australia will lose that privilege of not being targeted with nuclear weapons by other countries," Gao warned.

#6 Is China suggesting that other other option is a minimal and survivable nuclear exchange? Because I always though that the US would probably attempt to sink mainland Asia if attacked with nukes and that would probably cause issues in Australia even if the Chinese didn't directly target them.

#7 At this point, I'm not sure we would retaliate based on China Joe's groveling to the Chinese.

#10 Sure it's weak. But then when observing Antifa, it's usually the pathetically weak that strike out in an unhinged fashion - much like most of your serial killers.
