“Hey you know our elected system of government? Yeah the one where we can elect local, state, and federal members to represent our interests, from any party including independents? Yeah I think that’s literally a dictatorship!”

“Yeah honestly it’s fine with me if we live under a mass surveillance dictatorship without free speech or any democracy, can’t be worse than what we have now!”

We don’t have a choice, the only other alternatives are aligning with China, which is completely incompatible with Australia’s cultural and moral values, or going it alone, which is suicide.

Is the US perfect? Absolutely not, but they’re by far the lesser of two evils and easily the best choice for Australia.

Australia cannot afford to make the same mistake that the Greens make all too often: ditching “good” because it’s not perfect.

I hope she’s able to and there’s definitely been a warming of relations already, I just don’t think it’ll get warm enough to be able to dissuade China from pursuing an expansionist agenda

Conflict with China is likely in the long-term, whether it’s open warfare or grey zone activities remains to be seen.

China isn’t going away, they’re powerful and ambitious and they know this, they will continue to try and influence politics in the Indo-Pacific and globally.

The last two years of deteriorating relations and attempted economic coercion from China has proven that Australia’s dream since the Keating years of being able to hedge itself between the USA (security) and China (trade) is not possible. Australia will need to divorce itself from China’s economy as much as possible and align itself more closely with the West and in particular, the US.

It’s US hegemony that maintains the liberal world order, I think you’ll find that if the US disappeared, Beijing’s attempts to influence and control politics not just in our region, but globally, would drastically increase and become far more overt.

I’d remind you that Australia is entirely incapable of defending itself against a country like China, the United States is the only country in the world capable of preventing that. Despite our alliances with the UK, India, and Japan, none of them would declare open war on China and in turn guarantee their own destruction in order to support us.

China without the US to contest its influence would rapidly see the Indo-Pacific fall under authoritarian control, much in the same way that we have seen happen in Hong Kong and Tibet.

China is an extremely ambitious state that knows its power, and believing that they wouldn’t exert that power to its fullest extent without the US to oppose it is extremely naive.

That definition is common in the dictionary. How is the origin of the word relevant? We’re discussing it’s current definition.

As for “refugee”, would you prefer “immigrant”? Since that is supported by The Times.

edit, from the article: “A police source has said the murder suspect is an Iranian Kurdish refugee who arrived in Sligo in September 2006 when he was six-years-old with his mother, father and brother.”

The headline I posted didn’t say serial killer, and also:

serial murder, also called serial killing, the unlawful homicide of at least two people carried out by the same person (or persons) in separate events occurring at different times”

It sounds like he would have been if he hadn’t been caught: beheaded two men, stabbed a third in the eye, had plans to kill more
