Indonesia – Australia War (fiction)

Awal mula minggu lalu, kerjaan sudah mulai menipis. Itu artinya peluang untuk ini dan itu, nganu dan ngono banyak sekali. Iseng-iseng saya buka browser mencari info segalanya mengenai alutista RI.

Memang, barang goib membuat saya ingin mencari tahu barangkali ada artikel A1 terpecaya terselip di google. Ke sana kemari akhirnya browsing tersebut “nyantol “dimari . http://www.kaskus.co.id/thread/531bfcbbfaca17ba35000129/cerita-perang-bukti-harga-diri-bangsa-indonesia-vs-australia .
Harusnya sedari awal saya sadar, jika yang saya temukan ini hanya cerita fiksi. Akan tetapi saya cukup tercengang akan ceritanya. Dapat ditarik kesimpulan adalah:
1. Penulis cukup lihai dan mengerti alutista apa saja yang bertebaran dan bakal “ada” walau info secuil dia dapatkan.
2. Jiwa dan rasa nasionalisme sang penulis Luar Biasa (kita bisa belajar mencintai Negara ini kepada penulis yang dijabarkannya lewat cerita fiksi).
3. Dia sangat mengerti Arah dan pandangan Negara Indonesia. Saya sendiri harus banyak belajar.
4. Penulis sangat handal tentang situasi perkembangan regional dan geo politik.
5. Meski cinta NKRI, penulis jauh memberikan pandangannya kepada “lawan” untuk tidak meremehkan kemampuannya.
