I had to force myself to read your post George, because as soon as I see the name 'Marles' I can feel my BP rising. Pathetic, embarrassing and absolutely way way out of his depth.

"AUKUS isn't about deterrence, its about automatic entanglement." EXACTLY!

''What Marles and Canberra’s defence establishment won’t admit is Australia’s security posture is increasingly being shaped not by independent strategic calculation, but by American geostrategic interests. AUKUS, sold as a deterrent, binds Australia to US military planning in ways that compromise our sovereignty.

Long-range nuclear-powered submarines, missile systems based on foreign command structures, and deeper integration with US forces all mean one thing: in the event of a Taiwan crisis or broader US-China conflict, Australia will be a launchpad—not a neutral actor.''

How much more evidence is required to see that Australia is a US vassal state?

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry - as a Kiwi I guess it doesn't effect me too much - but it does. I don't like AUKUS and I don't like that the NZ govt is similarly brain dead and sidling up to take up the opportunity"of AUKUS Pillar 2. And our democracy is stuffed as well so there's no longer any opposition to govt making unilateral decisions viz AUKUS 2 or aligning with NATO ...

And David Spiers last night on 7.30 - his Sinophobia and his pro-Zionists and their unholy attacks on Iran made me want to throw up. He is a hasbara propagandist NOT serving the best interests of Australia - a traitor is how I think of him and the chiefs of the ABC News Division. And absolutely - Richard Marles is a lightweight bamboozled by his US counterparts who clearly run rings around him and have trained him to "Yap! Yap!" in the appropriate way! Penny Wong no longer responds to my posts even in the minimalist way of an automatically-generated form acknowledging receipt blah! blah! since last week. This is a government which - exactly like earlier LNP regimes - no longer responds to its citizens!

Nobody cares about whether australia is safe or not. What matters is keeping the Americans happy.

Australia is a pussy county that is being overrun by goat fuckers. I hope they burn your churches to the ground and make sex slaves out of your women
