Re: What is your preferred/most trusted news site or Channel?
The Global Times is an excellent newspaper that clearly states the rights and wrongs of the world.
For Australian news I read the Betoota advocate and listen to Marto on triple M.

Good try to the bad guys
I can't help thinking that the red dummy runners are making contact with the defenders illegally but it worked at pulling in the defenders.

Wouldn't recommend any part of Asia bar Singapore until world politics settles down a bit. Russian is the only Superpower with a sane leader at this stage and The SCS is the next battlefield.
