    US military based in Darwin.

    So I read the paper today.

    http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/gillar...-1226197152929

    Not really sure how I should feel about this. It will be nice to actually have some serious military power around, but on the other hand seems as though this may stir shit up

    Oh if you have time read some of the comments for a good laugh.

    yeah, the Marines posted it in their fb stream that 250 marines are being sent out now and it will eventually expand to 2,500. The 1st Division Marines have a long history with Australian troops, going back to WW2. They even took the song, Waltzing Matilda, as a battle hymn.

    so that's cool.

        Sooooo... If we default on our China loan, is it a straight forward bankruptcy or do we give them the finger with our military might?

          Strategically this is what the US is thinking...

                  Oh really? Why is it not possible? Is it because they have more bodies than us? The number of people they have is irrelevant. What is more important is the amount of weapons and trained shooters we have..... Ever seen "Red Dawn"? It is a documentary about when the Russians tried to invade. Awesome Non-Fiction Film!! Check it out.

                        My problem with this is that Australia is closer, and having American troops here under those circumstances gives them a reason to attack Australia.

                          No it happened! Just like when the most recent Ice age happened, you should check out that documentary as well. I think it is call "The Day After Tomorrow". Or even that new reality show about the chemistry teacher who has cameras follow him through his daily life including his double life as a meth cooker.
