Perhaps all the "experts" on defence should get a go at it; because the politicians, the public servants and the military brass don't seem to have a clue. Particularly Defence Minister Marles.

Or, how about Defence announcing a “ best essay" competition on the matter to get a few clues

There are no Australian defence experts, show me one.

It is just as well President Trump has named Australia as one of the countries that the US doesn't 'need help from anymore'.

We can't even help,ourselves; and Trump might not want to help us when trouble inevitably comes knocking on our door - unless it is in America's interests.

And, why would he? The "experts" spreading BS here and elsewhere have been banging on about the US no longer being "reliable" ally.

"It is just as well President Trump has named Australia as one of the countries that the US doesn't 'need help from anymore'."

Trump is working for his Zionist masters. AND name one country which is helping the mad dog in the White House with the illegal war he started. There are no clear objectives, other than to kill as many innocent men, women and children as you can, and the bastards are betting on it. HOW DISGUSTING!

You want to know the real reason why no-ones putting their hand up to help with Hormuz?
It's not doable, warships will get sunk.
It's political suicide to send them.

Plus it's a trap..
The Iranians are saying OH PLEASE COME ON IN!
They can hit anything going through there, even with artillery
Not to mention underwater drones.

You want a ground war, Iran has a million waiting.
How and where are you going to land troops?
What is this Okinawa?
Where will they assemble?
They'll be attacked by drones and missiles before they get anywhere near the shoreline.
And Americans didn't this war.
Trumps going to end up impeached.
There will be hearings, questions will be asked.
Ad they'll all throw him under the bus.

"We tried to tell him it was a bad idea."

Iran are waiting for the West to feel the economic pain.
And there's not a real lot the West can do.
They can't attempt to unblock it or launch a ground invasion without handing the midterms to the Democrats.
