Australia is a dog to America. The United Stares created the threat, then got the other two drag into something they were not to be involved in the first place. Fear. China China China. Russia. Russia. Russia Nearly a thousand military bases all over the world and surrounding countries America does not have control over. Australia, you did not build air defence before. Now you build them now against hypersonic missiles. Do you like fetching the stick back & forth from a command from your master.
Stage my rear end.
The 5 eyes nations have no problem surrounding Russia or China. Why the concern?
There is no one else. The most popular ones are dead or are thrown in jail? Garbage. I hope both of you playing stupid are proud of yourself. We are here because people like being mouthpiece of real evil. Like Putin is evil, and we are so good like America and N.A.T.O.
You mean what the Western countries have been doing for decades to the people of Africa stealing and leaving their garbage at the same time.
You can't beat Russia with lies
Garbage
She erased history. Who the fuck she think she is, as an individual. Because she is a politician.
Now, now. You all send money and weapons to kill the Russians. You beat your chest while you don't pay your debt to another nation that defended you for decades. Do not act like the victim. You beat your chest. You went on t.v acting tough with slogans. You tie your own shoes. Wear those shoes.
If course, the devil worshipper wins. Australia is moving in a new direction each year.
Garbage
Is it that Biden is very smart and sharp?

Ukraine is already dead. Remember Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Hurricane Katrina, Haiti disaster etc.. You think any time in history and especially today they will give you funds to rebuilt your country even of you managed to win the war. Bullshit. Only the privilege will gain. The rest of you will struggle living like....
Just stupid from White House press secretary down to everyone in the Biden administration. We are witnessing the most stupid people in history and it's showing. The whole world is crashing down no thanks to these fuckfaces idiots
