Does he mean that "Asia" will be invaded and conquered by somebody ? And that then Australian will fall to the invaders too - that some very large fleet of troop transport ships will arrive in Sydney harbour and disgorge an invasion force ? Or that maybe North Korea will suddently rain down a bunch of nuclear armed ICBMs on Australia ?<br /><br />What exactly does he mean - what is this "security" for "Asia" and Australia of which he rants ?<br /><br />More Bromancer: "<i>Would Trump sell out an ally's interests merely to get a glorified photo-op and a chance to lavish praise on himself at a press conference ? That would be vintage Obama</i>."<br /><br />Que ? When did Obama do that ? Is the Bro having a go at the Iran deal or what ? I know Obama is just a bit of a show-pony - as any politician in today's world he has to be - but "<i>glorified photo-op and a chance to lavish praise on himself</i>" ? When did he do that ?<br /><br />And then Neddy: "<i>Trump knows this </i>..."<br /><br />Actually Ned, I'd never be too sure that Trump truly knows anything, not even which day of the week it is. And frankly, after that disconnected rave, I don't think Neddy knows much, if anything, either.<br /><br />And more Ned: "<i>As for Trump, the summit with Kim will boost him ar home</i> ..."<br /><br />Boost him at home with who ? With his adoring fanbase that is already "boosted" as far as they can go ? Or with the growing army of ordinary (ie not egregiously insane) Americans who want to be rid of Trump just as soon as that's humanly (but not necessarily humanely) possible. Wake up Ned, despite the similarity in body plump, Trump isn't Elvis, you know.<br /><br />PS DP, Lawry was never as bad as Trevor Bailey. In fact, he could score quite freely on occasions. Well, on at least one, anyway.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
