  God damnit, Stop. America, especially under its current leadership, is not an ally. Stop enabling them, they won’t remember our help.

    Pfft after all the AUKUS nonsense, you think we are backing down from the brink of jumping in the crazy bus with the US? That’s optimistic of you. We are going to ride this bomb all the way into the ground.

    I haven’t even heard the usual suspects bleating about how many Australians will be losing their homes when interest rates spike because evangelicals in the US can’t get it up unless they are killing Arabs.

    But the oil must flow…

    Can you imagine if the only one who can drive are transport workers, miners, farmers and EV drivers?

  So our soldiers will head off, and die, to divert attention from the pedo president.

  Sickening

  Seriously Albo and his whole party have shown they are no different than the ones they call out

    This government is being nitpicked to death from all sides while desperately clinging to the center of politics and trying not to present a target. The real war isn’t Iran bit the ceaseless information war cooking peoples brains.

    The official word from the government is that we are considering offering assistance to gulf countries but have ruled out deployment in Iran. Has that changed? When it does I will be out on the streets with half a million others.

    I agree. I doubt I’ll vote for Albo again. They’ve moved to the right, trying to be the eternal party of government.

    As in this is a right wing hit job on Labor and nothing more?

      Not really, the problem i have is the ownership and what that certainly means. It could be a left leaning article in this case.

      But The Nightly is a publication with the obvious purpose to make an impression on and guide the discourse of the millenial and younger generations. This i expect is because their traditional mastheads and their distribution channels aren’t gaining great traction with these generations, and the expected conservative movement coming with age hasn’t occurred.

  This is old news already.

  Wong already acknowledged that we have been asked to defend neighboring countries.

  She did not disclose which but likely UAE.

  It’s only sensible to prep armed forces for that, even if they haven’t given their final approval yet.

    The Labor government are cowards. They will absolutely march Australians into another illegal conflict even if it’s just in order to appease the U.S.

      You’re right, but the Liberals and Nationals are further up the Yanks ass than Labor - let’s not pretend it’s a Labor problem.

    Look, the USA broke the strait of Hormuz. We didn’t ask for that too happen, but the glass is all over the floor (to stretch a metaphor) and now the more sober people at the party need to clean up the mess

      Not sure “clean[ing] up the mess” means helping the US, though (I say as an American).

  If Trump called for a Vietnam-scale deployment, how long would it take Australia to bring in the draft and train new conscripts to readiness?

  source

  • fizzle@quokk.au ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t think there’s really any appetite for that.

    In the case of vietnam there was at least a perceived threat in the way of the spread of communism through our “back yard”. Australian soldiers, at least when they shipped out, believed they were protecting their loved ones.

    short of a dirty bomb on Australian soil, I just can’t see how anyone would support a draft.
