Well - more evidence on how it will go for Oz if we did get military conflict at or near home.

Our 'big brother' the US of A --------

it's arch enemy is Russia - has been for decades --------------- and, what do the USA do when there's a military conflict - presently threatening Europe with the US arch enemy - where both the USA and Europe and other nations are actively supporting Ukraine - as near as to actually being at war with Russia ---------

well, the Americans ------- drag the chain. They drag the chain so badly that they put the war at risk of being lost. After very solid support early - the Americans - due to extreme right wing dysfunction ---------- delay delay delay vital military support until the last minute ---- allowing Russia to have gotten up a pretty solid head of steam

Now - think about this -------- Australia. We depend on America. And yet - what do we see when America has come to the 'aid' of countries -

Ask South Vietnam how it turned out for them
Ask Afghanistan how it turned out for them (twice)
Ask Ukrainian military commanders how the last months have been

Now - think Australia

it's not a very high confidence kind of thinking really ----

America, you've done it again

Sadly I do not hold out much hope of the Good old USA coming to anyone's defence these day's, especially given the current state of US politics. How long did it take for this last aid package for Ukraine to be approved ? (assuming it will finally go through now). Let's not forget Trump's threat's towards NATO - there is a chance he could be re-elected, and then what ?

It is not too long ago that the USA was letting Europe face the prospect of complete annihilation - I have no confidence whatsoever that they will not be late joining any "party" next time, if at all.
