Lucky it's the final test because Green should be dropped for stuffing up that Smith catch just now

What’s stopping China taking over any country they feel they have the right to “run”?

Donald has set the rules , and they aren’t good

Exactly

But my point was Putin has already invaded in an attempt to take pver Ukraime

China has been eyeing off taking over Taiwan for years.

For the Putin and Xi to comdem what the USA has done is hyprocrisy of the highest order

But the actions of the USA as you rightly say has given China the greelight to take Taiwan and by extension condones what Putin has done in Ukraine

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union
Taiwan under Chinese rule

Venezuela is a Spanish colony and never under the USA

I’d suggest Donald has gone further than Putin and Xi

Kaelan Bradtke (Corowa-Rutherglen)

Claimed the Doug Strang Medal in a team that won only three games. He kicked 62 [goals] in 18 games but showed his class with two bags of five against Wangaratta Rovers. Any player who can kick that many against the Hawks' defence is a star. And you sense Bradtke has more to offer, as shown by a 53m bomb against Myrtleford in slippery July conditions.
