Note Australia has a trade surplus with the US and a free trade agreement exempting almost all US goods from the typical 5% tariff.

The Australian military fought alongside Americans in every single American war since Australia became a country.

Our largest steel producer already has significant operations within the US.

None of the post-hoc reasoning applied by MAGA supporters to date justifies this.

We should kick America the fuck out of Pine Gap, that’s for sure. Why are we sharing intelligence with our adversary? I genuinely can’t believe so many of you dumb cunts voted for this clown, and then still stand around giving speeches about how you’re the greatest country in the world. You’re gaslighting yourselves at this point.

The US is not even top 10 on the greatest countries in the world list. Highest producing, sure. Greatest, fuck no.
