    And I answered that question.

    How would that change my stance?

    If you need a refresher, I said that I would support conviction and sentencing, for the same crime, only if the sentences were served concurrently.

    Let's do the math:

    For the sake of this discussion, let's make some totally fictitious assumptions.

    1. He is convicted of crime X, in the USA and sentenced to two years in prison.

    2. He is convicted of crime X, in Australia and sentenced to five years in prison.

    3. USA crime X is equal to Australia crime X.

    With those assumptions, and under my conditions, he would serve five years in an Australian prison.

    Now, lets assume a US pardon. That removes assumption 1..

    It looks, to me, like the same result. Hence my bafflement at your question.

    Thought Criminal has given you the obvious answer. The other things I say when people here raise that point is this.

    1. When the US farts, we get the whiff down here.
    2. I give a crap about US politics because the US gives a crap about the internal affairs, especially politics of other Countries, particularly in the ME.

    Insider trading on the lawn of the White House, bj’s in the Oval Office. Hell, might as well install a brass pole in the China Room and import some teenage Asian girls. Oh sorry, I forgot. Epstein already did that during the Clinton Administration.

    Australia still has troops in the ME.

    Why don't start with your own country first.

    I read the entire article where does it mention a possible pardon?

    Here is that programme. He has been a very naughty boy, and the Laws he has broken here, are not the same as those he was charged with in the US. Four Corners has some clout down here, so I anticipate ASIC will be embarrassed into action.

    If any politician tried that chest pumping bullshit down here, they'd last a nano-second.

    I totally agree, but what I told you is 100% true. We are there because you asked us to hold your hand.

    So, you have nothing but "chest pumping bull****" for politicians who can't say no to war?

    Or is it that you have nothing but a bunch of wussy politicians that can't say no?

    Which is it? Pick one.

    Well ya see there is this thing called ANZUS. 'You' ask and we hold your hand. Fact of life. Yes, it is pathetic, but that's the way it is.

    Yes, so why do you always ask us to hold your hand when you get into a shitfight?

    Getting a long way Off Topic in this exchange aren't we?

    Not really
    They were already trading and wanted to do more business.

    A proposed trade deal between Australia and Taiwan apparently never had a chance to see the light of day, former foreign minister Julie Bishop says.
