It was in response to the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey and the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 that Soviet secretary Khrushchev agreed to Cuba’s request to establish nuclear missiles on the island to deter future invasion.”
Described in The Australian as “chilling,” “extraordinary” and “unhinged” – and the national daily should know – Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare’s bitter parliamentary attack on Australia and the Western world was trite and sycophantic to Beijing but not wholly inaccurate. On the Cuban Missile Crisis, he didn’t even point out that Jack Kennedy’s lies about a “missile gap” during the 1960 presidential election signalled to Moscow that a nuclear escalation was imminent. For eight years Eisenhower’s Vice-President, Richard Nixon knew America’s strategic nuclear lead was huge but didn’t say so during the campaign to avoid a potentially catastrophic reaction from the Soviets. Sogavare’s comments about the sunny situation for Christians in China, on the other hand, are disgraceful and point to the real nature of the man: that of a cargo cult Judas reassuring himself he was right to take the silver. If, after bleak days of conflagration in the future, his nation is taken by Australia or her allies, his name will live in infamy.
Another balls up by our so-called diplomats. Of course, it may have been deliberate. Hard to tell these days with so many traitors around.
Serious question, has Australia funded anything like this in the Solomon’s since their independence? The Chinese are funding a new medical centre there.
really .
The Solomons have not been invaded. They are not at war. They have not had war crimes committed against them.
stupid is as stupid does
Like Australia.
So we don’t need nuclear submarines – right?
Why did Scott not care so much about Dan signing Viktoria up to the commo program?
Correct. We firstly need nuclear missiles and power plants, multiples of both. A fleet of drone subs would be adequate then.
No it merely means your headline is very stupid.
You seem to be losing IQ points as you get older, Homer.
Sogavare has sold his country to a superpower – just like Ukraine has.
The result in Ukraine: Russia invaded.
Australia has reacted to the Solomons/China deal in the same way – but with one exception: we outsource our threats of invasion to the United States.
In the 1970s, we gave a green light to an invasion of East Timor for the same reasons.
Its not about your moral feelings; it’s about understanding how nations understand their interests. That means I might not like Sogavare or what he’s done but I understand how he sees himself and why. That is the intellectual foundation of geo-strategy.
Tell us how much the solomans got in $ as no-one else knows. Who did Ukraine sell themselves to. mind you given they are a sovereign country they can sell themselves to whomever they want to or do not want to.
It is no reason for a war criminal to invade.
You simply make things up and you dont like when you are caught out doing it.

They sold out to the Bidens, Pelosi, Romney and other US politicians. Would you be quite as relaxed if we sold out to Trump?
It is no reason for a war criminal to invade.
Your knowledge of the background is as limited as your knowledge of anything else. Shoulda finished pre-school!
PS, where are the solomans? Anywhere near the Solomons? Or a character in a soft drink advertisement a couple of decades ago?
really what money was involved. was it the equivalent of the solomans at all. you must tell.
another apologist for a war criminal. why do deplorables love killing people

None so blind as they who will not see. Get your head out of the left wing media, and look around you.
PS, and explain Zelelnsy’s wealth. I’m not sure that playing a piano with your penis is all that lucrative an occupation.
Zelensky’s
Says a pro-abortionist.
Another balls up by our so-called diplomats.
Not necessarily.
Sogavare has gotten too big for his boots.
He won’t last long.

When will you mount the coup?
so there we have. People allege big money is involved when when asked to show where it is they cannot.
Lee you obviously are very stupid as I am a fervent anti-abortionist. I would allow it when rape, incest is involved or the foetus is attacking the mother and the father then has to decide who lives. It would be his wife every time.
Truer words were never spoken.
In other words, you want to involve the Police in what is a very private matter.
Not as stupid as you and the other retard, Ed, here.

A bit like you implying that polls show that public opinion supports all forms of abortion, up to and including the time of birth, but when asked to show the actual polling, you cannot?
