Yeah.

How should England go about conquering Wales?

Why would they? England and Wales are both part of the United Kingdom.

And, at the whim of China, unless the U.S. steps in to save them, they'll be annihilated.

If that's the policy Australia wants to pursue, go for it.

Isn't that the policy we are currently pursuing? International cooperation?
As the Prime Minister said, we're celebrating the 60th anniversary of our great alliance. And we couldn't think of a better group to do it with than you. All of you are the backbone of our alliance. It's an honour to be here with Australia's legendary Diggers. You are some of the toughest warriors in the world. And so are another group of folks here today - our extraordinary United States Marines.

Aussies and Americans like you have stood together since World War I, the war in which so much of your national character was born - your incredible ANZAC Spirit.

But, in a sense, it was here, in Darwin, where our alliance was born - during "Australia's Pearl Harbor." Against overwhelming odds, our forces fought back, with honour and with courage. The Prime Minister and I just paid our respects at the memorial to one of the ships lost that day - the USS Peary. And we looked out at those beautiful blue waters, where so many Australians and Americans rest where they fell, together.
Of course under "Lunatic President Andrew VI" this would have no meaning, and the USA would rule the world under an iron fist. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Andrew the reincarnation of Hitler, who would have thunk it?

In the sense that the drowning person "cooperates" with the lifeguard, yes.

But neither party should be under any illusions as to who is magnanimously saving whom.

How did a simple charge for a service become an iron fist?

The reasons for opposing the simple charge for a service evaporated.

Oh well, as long as you are happy to keep doing it, who cares if it's magnaimous or not?

Who has stated that the only reason the USA (under the future Nazi dominated "Lunatic President Andrew VI" reign) would not start WWIII is due to them being jolly good chaps, and kind and gentle souls.

You are a card Andrew!

Randy Newman?!

Yet you have the balls to bad mouth Leonard Cohen.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Randy Newman is a great song writer and performer...(Good Old Boys is one of the greatest albums ever made and Sail Away is another four star classic)

Leonard Cohen is a substitute for Ambien with a whiskey chaser....
