Please don't do this. Be better than us.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 37 minutes ago

You want us to be better than us?

The Labor government are cowards. They will absolutely march Australians into another illegal conflict even if it's just in order to appease the U.S.

You're right, but the Liberals and Nationals are further up the Yanks ass than Labor - let's not pretend it's a Labor problem.

Oh, I would never even suggest such a thing. Australia don't live in a two party hellscape like the US so there's that... I guess.

Look, the USA broke the strait of Hormuz. We didn't ask for that too happen, but the glass is all over the floor (to stretch a metaphor) and now the more sober people at the party need to clean up the mess

Not sure "clean[ing] up the mess" means helping the US, though (I say as an American).
