Ah, well we are dependant upon the America for evacuation along I think with Japan who I believe will send boats to southern ports to help evacuate foreigners like us along with there own people. Good old Australia won't do anything, that's for sure; except make noise!

China warns Australia



China is warning Australia that a proposed star wars missile defence shield could trigger a new arms race and threaten the global strategic balance.

In a stark reminder of regional concern over US plans to develop a missile shield capable of destroying incoming missiles, China's embassy in Canberra said the high-tech system would be a risk to regional security.

An embassy spokesman said the so-called theatre missile defence (TMD) would have a wide negative effect on world peace and stability.

"And TMD counteracts the confidence-building efforts in the region and deepens the instability in the region in terms of security," Feng Tie said.

Feng said China also feared cooperation between countries in a theatre missile defence shield could lead to the development of security pacts which would also threaten other countries not taking part.

"The TMD area should not compromise other countries' security interests and should not lead to the establishment and the strengthening of any exclusive military or political blocs," he said.

Possible Australian involvement in the US missile defence program was foreshadowed in the defence strategic review.

Defence Minister Robert Hill said he could not rule out American missiles being located on Australian soil if Australia signed up to the star wars program.

Prime Minister John Howard said the Australian people would want the government to investigate involvement in the shield, even if the multi-billion-dollar program never came to fruition.

But in a sign that worries about the shield spreads far beyond the region, France's ambassador to Australia, Pierre Viaux, backed China's concerns.

Viaux said it was understandable Australia would look to take advantage of its close relationship with the US and seek involvement in the missile shield.

But there was also a danger of a fresh arms race, he said.

"We know very few things about what this anti-missile protection will be," he said.

I once saw a cartoon where Frazer the Prime Minster at the time was at the head of a rowboat looking up the a Russian comander on the deck of a Russian battleship with a fleet of warships in the background and telling him to get! Nothing has changed I don't think! Perhaps something like the terror pachage they sent out will happen. It could be that another evolope send out with a message in it telling us to run if you see a mushroom cloud!

"Private US citizens will be required to sign a promissory note agreeing to repay the cost of your transportation. The charge for an evacuation will generally approximate the cost of a same-day commercial fare."

God bless America.

Ah well, beats flying home in a Sea King! <CRASH>

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the fit hits the shan I'm running into the mountains and going "Lord of the Flies".

I'll live off of wild berries and squirrel meat until somebody catches me! Very Happy

Um I found the site when doing a Net search using the words "evacuation, Korea, etc." I haven't seen the site talked about or posted before so I stuck it up so people could print out the maps mainly. The site is about six pages in all!

Magog:

You are welcome to stand on the runway and watch us fly off to safety. Lots of my tax dollars went into paying for the plane that flies me outta here. Them's the harsh realities, mate.

But as kumuka said, it's OK by me if you get on the next plane ahead of the rude Canadians.

Australia will give you forewarning to leave the country. If you leave your run too late they will fly in a RAAF plan to evacuate the remaining aussies. But will be charged for the privelage.

A suggestion is to register with the embassy, they'll call you when it hits the fan
