Or a whole Carrier battle group ? 
New Zealand Invite to U.S. Navy Marks End to Nuclear Stalemate
“Key still needs to formally sign off on the ship visit. The prime minister said he did not yet know what type of vessel the U.S. was planning to send, but said it would still need to comply with New Zealand law, which requires that he be satisfied that any ship entering the country’s waters has no nuclear capabilities.”
Hmmm? Do you suppose it would have anything to do with the Red Chinese Navy moving increasing south – and New Zealand’s naval defense – thanks to years of socialist budget cutters – consisting of a voice mail at the Defense Ministry in Auckland saying over and over in 150 different languages (including Chinese) “We Surrender! Don’t Shoot! Our Hands Are Up!”
New Zealand, a shining example of a socialist utopia.
In the 30 years it has been in place, I have always been a bit red-faced with embarrassment due to the anti-nuclear policy. It is a trifling dollop of tokenism.
I never really understood the logic.NZ doesn’t have any nukes and is in little danger of being on the receiving end so what’s the big deal?
Appeasement, because you see it worked so wonderfully well in the 1930s and stopped that Big War.
Appeasement of the local socialist pinko fucks 😡
A 1980’s hippie self-gratification indulgence that supposedly “defines NZ as a country and who we are as a people” – right up there with packs of muddy steroidal meatheads pushing their faces into other mens’ bottoms whilst pursuing a ovoid ball.
First Darin before shipping out the CnC General oBowa must be informed of the difference between a destroyer and a carrier group.
That awful truth highlights the leftist theme in the U.S. media about Trump. “Don’t let this man get his finger on the nuclear trigger.” If Trump unsettles them (and it is bogus) they should be mad with fear at the thought that oBawa is the CiC. There’s a man who’s not qualified to park cars for a hotel.
I swear to God, there’s something in the Western psyche that causes us of late to elevate simpletons, poseurs, grifters, gooney birds, and traitors to high office. If you think of the Chinese or Russian top leadership, do they strike you as other than flinty-eyed realists who make careful assessments of national security with the aid of experienced, no nonsense military advisers? Merkel, the late Cameron, Hollande, the Nordics, NZ, Australia, the U.S., and Canada like children giving each other haircuts under the bed. Now we’re a whisker (I restrain myself) away from elevating some lesbian harridan to the highest office who exulted in the murder of Gaddafi who was, last time anyone checked, no threat to any U.S. or European interest at all. Who ordered that this is the only movie I got to watch for the last 24 years?
Expect a serious or patriotic anything out of these twerps and you mark yourself as a simpleton.
“Expect a serious or patriotic anything out of these twerps and you mark yourself as a simpleton.”
Exactly so.
Darlin not to mention that the Colander in Chef don’t know what New Zealand is much less where it is. Many thanks yours verililily trulilily HarvardPotatoHead

@Contempt: Hey now, he just learned how to pronounce “Corps” after seven years of lessons, so give the guy a break!
Affirmative action Harvard man on a Saudi scholarship.
Elevated to the Presidency by fools, women and blacks.
It’s the iron-and-rust American empire reaching out to client palatinates in the face of regional Chinese expansionism – plain and simple.
The likely next Mayor of Auckland Mr Goff (surely that name is an abbreviation?) is renown for spitting on NZ troops when they returned from Vietnam. He’ll make a great component of the welcoming party at the wharf when the USA ploughs up the Gulf. He is a typical anti-USA liberal progressive like his long time mate at the UN.
