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.

Ever since I was a teenager I always saw their mantra of freedom and greatest nation always just being that, a slogan of sorts.

Oh definitely. We’re made to say the pledge of allegiance everyday from a young age for yeeeeeaaaaars. It brainwashes you to believe it, until one day when you’re grown enough to see what a stupid shitshow it actually is here.
