By Binoy Kampmark, published 27/3/2026The myth of US military invincibility collides with a harder reality: unreadiness, depleted stockpiles, and a war exposing the limits of power.

“The addiction of the US imperium to waging wars…” is a stupid comment to start with, and a lie. As long as Islamic extremism exists, we had better hope that the US is willing to fight wars in defence of the West - unlike the rest of the West, including Australia, where there is an outrageous tolerance of the threats to our country due to the immigration of the sorts of people that the US is fighting on our behalf.
But, the US might just stop fighting on behalf of the rest of us. Trump is now openly naming Australia, along with Europe, as useless allies. Americans themselves look like they want him replaced with another Obama or someone like Biden. Starting with Jimmy Carter, the Democrats have to take full responsibility for the Iranian threat to the West that Trump is trying to halt. As for the rest of Kampmark's bilge, it's all just a cranky opinion. He is no more qualified to give advice (totally unknown outside of this site) than anyone else is. Being a mere lecturer at RMIT makes him no more important or knowledgeable than a pox doctor's clerk. America saved Australia during WW2. They might not be willing to do it again, crap ally that we are. Posted by ttbn, Friday, 27 March 2026 11:12:55 AM

OMG people are so clueless. You think there won't be MORE MUSLIM immigrants coming with this next / current war for Israel? Can you not see the hypocrisy, you want them to fight Muslims, so more Muslims are displaced, and more so Muslims come. Cause and effect? "But, the US might just stop fighting on behalf of the rest of us. Trump is now openly naming Australia, along with Europe, as useless allies" - He's a suspected pedophile in Israels pocket, supporting endless wars in the M/E for Israel for the last 30 years... Google 'Is Sunni Islam extremist' Find all the extremists the West supported. Google Is Shia Islam extremist' Who are the extremists, terrorists, Iranian proxies? Answer = Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis. Basically just countries / groups PREVENTING Israels genocide, land theft and ethnic cleansing. - They're the 'terrorists' Just like Israel labelled Defense For Children International Palestine a terrorist entity because they exposed the rape of children. Israel-Palestine war: Israel shut down NGO for reporting rape of teenager, ex-US official says http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-ngo-shut-down-reporting-sexual-assault-ex-us They'd probably label me a terrorist, just for writing this comment. You bang on about Muslims, but that same engineered resentment as a result of all the other wars for Israel, (and subsequent immigration) is being used to support and justify more wars for Israel that will produce even more Muslim immigrants. You might as well be saying 'To Israel and U.S. Please, please, bomb and attack Iran, Please blow the whole region up, I beg you. Displace as many Muslims as possible. WE NEED MORE MUSLIMS TO COME TO AUSTRALIA ASAP!' Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 27 March 2026 12:05:04 PM

Hi ttbn,
“The addiction of the US imperium to waging wars…” is a stupid comment. Is it? Since WW2; Korean War. Vietnam War. Afghan War. Iraq War. Now the Iran War. Plus lots of little wars as well. You might feel safe where you are, but remember if you were to die in a war, the chances are it would be an American who pulls the trigger, that's a fact. Trump is just carrying on the long tradition of every American president of killing innocent people. Starting with Washington who killed the Indians, Lincoln who killed each other, to Kennedy who kill the poor people of Asia, now Trump who is killing whoever he wants to. Trumps a showman, he is resurrecting that old TV show, 'It Could Be You', instead of giving contestants a free fridge, in Trump's version the contestant gets a free bullet to the head.

"Legislation regarding 'right to repair' provisions that would enable soldiers to tend to equipment problems without having to send them back to the manufacturer was also on the cards, though yet to pass."
- They are so focused on profits, they act like John Deere who prevents farmers from repairing their own tractors.
I doubt the other sides are so hamstrung, reckless and foolish.
Western sons and daughters dying for Israel?
Count me out, let them fight their own battles, and I hope they lose.
I'd prefer to run my car on Russian or Iranian oil instead.
Diversity is good, but only when they say so.
