    The Australian Labor party plan is to stay silent and hope this all blows over. The Australian LNP plan is to loudly join in

      Alas, very much this.

      We should have started to move away under Bush, I remember wheb Bush was adrsssibg parliment and they banned Bob Briwn. An elexted Australian Senator, banned from neing in parliament ? That was the last straw for me

      The first red flag was the dodgy US shit around Whitlams sackng and US interference, let alone the endless shit fuckery th US has been up to since the 1950s.

      Fuck it, Vote Green

    Narrator : But they didn’t.

    (or maybe there was a significant shift to Greens)

    I just hope we finally say no when Trump tries to drag us into a war.

      I don’t think Trump is going to ask us to join a war. The idea of Australia will not even enter his mind unless it is directly relevant. For example he will probably think of Australia if he is intending to invade Australia; but aside from that, it would be up to his advisers to remind him that we exist.

        He’s looking at Greenland supposedly because of their rare earth minerals.

        Australia has almost 4x the rare earth minerals of Greenland, and also has the mining infrastructure already in place.

        It’s best we keep our heads down.

          We’re also not a strategic point between the US and Russia, so that’s another key point why the orange turd is not interested

      They don’t have to drag us. Australia will volunteer to go kill foreigners to keep daddy happy. And then we can add another monument to the towns.

      Lest we forget…
