If a post has no arguments can there be a counterargument?

>>3203497
theres more to the continent of Oceania than Australia

Ausfag here, I agree

>>3203497
Where would the British send their prisoners?

>>3203497
I wouldn't want to live in a world with no Rama Rama

>>3203497
Yeah one thing would have

More fucking indians or Canadians would have died in galipoli

>>3203497
I'm Aussie and even I can agree with this. We've made no impact on the world. Although, Australian history within itself is kinda interesting.

thought I cropped the cunt

>>3206483
And fridges

are we missing the part where Australia is the hegemon of South East Asia and Americas conduit to it? seems significant

>>3206583
>hegemon of South East Asia
We're a strong regional power but we're by no means a hegemon. We would be unable to exert any kind of economic, military or administrative power over our neighbours if we tried.

>>3206590
that's uh

wrong

Australia has pretty ridiculous Naval and Air influence. Army not so much. Singapore has a bit of capability, but we are on good terms with them. Most other countries in SEA lack capability.

Its fucking disgusting the lack of knowledge and pride about Australian history by my fellow countrymen. Our nation and liberal values fought valiantly against European Fascism and Indochinese Communism without a single shred of pride for these accomplishments throughout our cultural consciousness. You would think we would learn this in school but no, there is no time in the curriculum with all the colonial apologetics, feminism and Safe Schools

>>3206615
Rip all I learnt in school was gold rush, Irish tin man, abo killing, Qin China, Samurai vs Knight.

Didn't do ANY of the subjects justice.

>>3206615
>>3206615
>He wasn't taught about Australia's colonial history and our actions in WWI
What year did you graduate?

>>3206613
Fair enough. I was thinking moreso of countries like Indonesia and the Indochinese nations China exerts soft influence over.

>>3206590
>Australia is unable to exert etc
>Unable

Oh wow. Australia isn't exactly a world big-shot, you know, people would be laughing if they showed up in the Baltic Sea trying to be strong-

but it doesn't take a genius to realize they are a super-heavyweight in that whole region above them. Saying they are unable to exert any influence basically tells me that you've seen they have a small population and assumed that directly equates to power projection.

Spoiler, it doesn't. They shit all over the Indonesian economy and shit all over the Indonesian military, despite Indonesia having like 250 million people.

>>3206613
Australia couldn't invade Indonesia

>>3206680
Yeah I mean, that's why I said "Army not so much". But Indonesian couldn't invade Australia on land either.

However in a purely Naval/Air war, or something closer to Falklands, Australia would dominate. That's what's important, it's easier to put pressure on them when you are naval and economically dominant.

>>3206633

A while back and it sounds like things have gotten worse.

>>3204423
America.

>>3206631
>samurai vs knight
For real?

>>3206164
But that's good.

>>3206583
Anglos either european or american would find another place in SEA to have a puppet.

>>3203497
We did one good thing, something which may actually be one of the most important.

We showed that common sense gun control DOES work and that the USA can follow our lead to a safer community.

>>3206615
>World War 1, 2, Vietnam and Korea all regularly acknowledged each year and taught in schools

I've covered our history now. You can slide down off your high horse, fuckwit

>>3206860
ok but that's not the case in our world

I could just as easily say the U.S is irrelevant because if they didn't exist there would be another global power. Your logic doesn't work because it's based on fictional circumstances.

>>3203497
When you want quality over quantity. We are there.

>>3206949
Except another global power would change everything for everyone, while a different puppet of the same global power changes nothing except for two countries.

>>3206918
Meet me at wacol station ill give you a floggin you little shit eating bastard

>>3207009
That logic still doesn't work. Your argument insinuates that there is an identical opportunity for a puppet to exist, when in reality for most of the 20th century there was no other anglo-western, developed, capable, first world nation that was a stepping stone to the region without being geographically inside its vulnerabilities.
