    I don’t know how anyone can be scared of the US at this point.

    It’s public knowledge that the US has lost allies, lost the war with Iran, lost our bases in the Middle East, and depleted the big, scary weapons that were supposed to be our bread and butter in bullying the rest of the world. It will take 5-10 years, at minimum, to rebuild the weapons stockpile that Donald and Pete depleted in six months, which we know because we’ve forced allies to buy weapons with delivery targets multiple years in the future.

    The only threat left is nukes, which while genuinely scary, Donald seems to comprehend what a bad idea it would be to toss out one of those.

      Ask the Labor Party in Australia

      Actually nah just watch them in action because they’d lie to you and say they’re ’extremely concerned’

      Watch while they use Palantir to Roboboot people off the NDIS to pay themselves and buy their fuckin submarines

        Yeah this Labor Government is last I’ll ever vote for. Spineless cunts. I just they don’t swing the needle to the psychopaths in PHON or the LNP.

          Been avoiding putting Labor first for 35 years and putting them last in my electorate is symbolic, as it’s strongly Coalition.

          My strategy is to focus on the Senate.
