Mr Symon was asked what he thought was the likelihood that Australia would automatically join the US if such a scenario played out.

"I don't think anything is automatic," he said.
"I think it's always got to be put in context and, at the end of the day, an Australian government will always act in the national interest, Australia's national interest.
"Any political leader from any nation-state in the world knows that ultimately they'll act in the nation's interests at the time."

I read Imran Khan's half-autobiography. Respect for him man. He knew of all the death threats against him entering politics. He's much cleaner than Benazhir Bhutto. Nothing dark about Imran Khan.

As he said himself, he could have just lived a glorious life in cricket, retiring as one of the greatest cricket players of all time, spend his days seducing women and partying, but he said Allah gave him a calling to enter politics.

Stealing weapons deals from the US Military Industrial Complex? Looks that el presidente of South Korea is asking for some regime change.​

Better call Seoul: U.S. watches nervously as Europe turns to South Korea for weapons​


South Korea is racking up multibillion-dollar defense deals in Europe as Seoul pushes to become a bigger player in international weapons sales.
And it’s causing some jitters in the U.S. defense industry.

The contracts for tanks, fighter planes and rocket launchers — all signed within the past three months — come as European capitals look to restock their warehouses after months of sending their own equipment to Ukraine. And Eastern Europe, which normally turns to the U.S. for new weapons, is increasingly considering buying from South Korea instead, which says it can deliver them faster and cheaper.

South Korean defense firms have long been active in Europe, selling mobile howitzers and small arms to a number of countries over the past half-decade. But those deals have paled in comparison to the $5.8 billion blockbuster contract Poland signed with two South Korean companies in July. The agreement included 980 K2 Black Panther tanks, 672 K9 self-propelled howitzers and 48 FA-50 fighter planes, with deliveries on some of the tanks and howitzers expected to begin by the end of this year. The deals could be worth as much as $15 billion if all of the options are exercised in the coming years.
And last month, Poland signed a contract with South Korean company Hanwha Defense for 288 Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers, with the first batch arriving next year, instead of waiting years to begin receiving the U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems.
Poland was initially seeking as many as 500 HIMARS from the U.S., but at an Oct. 19 signing ceremony with his South Korean counterpart, Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak explained that “unfortunately due to limited industrial capabilities, it will not be possible for the equipment to be delivered in a satisfactory timeframe. Therefore, we started talks with South Korea — our proven partner.”
The sheer size of the contracts, and promises of a fast turnaround on delivery, has caught the attention of the defense industry in the U.S.
“There is concern from U.S. industry that this won’t stop with Poland,” said one industry insider who has dealings multiple U.S. defense firms, and who — like others in this article — requested anonymity to speak about relations between the U.S., Europe and South Korea.

Wow, this is unacceptable. The US should immediately ban and sanction all South Korean MIC companies on national security grounds in the name of white powa... oh, I mean human rights or something.

Quoting from the Tweet:
"If this continues, what will they be doing in 2024? In 2028?"

I dunno, maybe - just maybe - PLAAF J-20s and Y-20s landing at Taipei Songshan Airport/Airbase?

Just like how a West German Cessna 172 penetrated Soviet air defenses and landed in Moscow's Red Square in 1987?

The pilots and flight crews onboard can proceed to distribute poached eggs, pickled vegetables and instant noodles to local Taipei citizens upon landing (similar to what civilian drone flights over the Kinmen and Matsu Islands did 3 months ago).
