They aren't resource starved....... They have all they resources they want which they purchase from countries such as Australia. This isn't a video game. It may seem "logical" to you, but in the real world invading a country that is as big as Australia just to take resources when you can just...

Why? We sell them our resources, they sell us their products. Mutually beneficial trade.

Argentina is so desperate to get the islands because of the riches it has in the terms of oil. It's British territory with British people living there, it's been 150 years. Move on.

That's not what happened. The Taliban actively banned things such as mobilies, radios, music, dancing, singing under their f.ucked up sharia medieval government system, not because the soviet "blew everything up" The Taliban still continue to blow up mobile towers in Afghanistan today.........

Is Karzi on drugs? Whipping out a ridiculous conspiracy that the Taliban and the U.S are working together to keep Coalition forces in Afghanistan is a ridiculous notion.

I agree. His post was very stupid. Please explain how tank shells make people want to ban simple things such as music, dancing, telephones, televisions etc etc. This is the "middle ages" i was talking about. I agree. His post was very stupid. Please explain how tank shells make...

So a foreign invasion made people become Islamic extremists and made them want to live in the middle ages? Yeh, right. :disagree:

Woops, i was meant to delete that. It is the news websites full access fee and i accidentally copy and pasted it over with the article :P

BEING forced to strangle a Taliban commander during hand-to-hand combat drove one of the country's most elite warriors to change the way our special forces train for modern warfare. Australian Commando Paul Cale, an elite soldier from 2 Commando Regiment, created a world-leading close-quarter...

Rofl he thinks Vietnam is a superpower. He is delusional.

North Korea rarely acts on it's threats and when it does, South Korea just sits back and does nothing. What a pointless exercise.

The information i'm providing is between 2007 and now. Our next government has already acknowledged the problems i outlined in my previous posts, hence why they will be turning back all boats from Sri Lanka. They have access to even more information relating to refugee processing than we and the...

The fact is that the Australian government MUST accept an asylum request unless there is obvious evidence that the claim is not genuine. So refugees don't have to prove they are legit, the Government has to prove they aren't. How can the Australian government prove a story of an Afghan...

Hahaha, ignore NiceGuy. He is obsessed with the idea of Asian countries attacking each other and lives in a fantasy world where everyone is enemies like in a video game. He clearly doesn't know anything about the Australian-Indonesian relationship.
