"And the most powerful superpower today, the USA, has the resources to prolong any war it chooses eg. currently Gaza and Ukraine."

-No, not anymore, the US military is in no state to conduct large scale ground wars, they can project power against a weaker nation with a carrier strike group and air power, but those things are now giant floating targets for hypersonic weapons.

They won't prolong the war in Ukraine indefinitely unless they put boots on the ground.
Ukraine is the Titanic, it's full of water and it's going down, it's inevitable.

Iran showed yesterday how things have changed.
They used drone swarms, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles all timed to reach their targets simultaneously.
Some even claim hypersonic missiles as well, but I don't know if this is accurate.
The Shahed drones locate radar and missile defence, and exhaust the missile defense launchers of interceptors, many are probably decoys.
Then the cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and hypersonics can more freely hit all their targets.

US can't even stop the Houthis attacks and re-open ship traffic on the Red Sea.
They're not the military power they were.
There probably isn't even many troops with real combat experience on the level going on in Ukraine.

The whole entire collective West can't match Russias current military industrial production.
The US military is besieged with issues related to Diversity, Equality and Inclusion so much so it can't even fill recruitment quotas.
They don't have hypersonic missiles, drone forces, and their missile defense wont protect them against these modern weapons.
All of their weapons and equipment is outdated, except maybe for the F-35 which has been called a flying piano by it's pilots.
Carrier strike groups may now even belong to a bygone era;
They probably wouldn't last more than a week if at sea or more than 2 in port in a serious conflict.

Sir William Deane, Governor General of Australia on Anzac
Day 1999 stated:

"Anzac Day isn't just about loss. It is about courage and
endurance and duty and love of country and mateship, and
good humour, and the survival of self-worth and decency in
the face of dreadful odds."

Take care.

Kudos Maverick and Armchair Critic. Remember our ANZAC's. Our ancestors legacy. Our duty to protect Australia from foreign invaders to ensure the future of our descendants just as our fathers have ensured ours. Prepare for the coming conflicts and try to form allies to grow our common wealth. God save the king for he is the face of our protectorate.

Here are the facts:

Men from nearly every continent and creed served in the
Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). These volunteers had to
overcome Australia's racist White Australia Policy before
they could be accepted. Soldiers in the AIF came from
countries around the world, including, Belgium, China,
Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, India, Italy,
Japan, Lebanon, Norway, and the Russian Empire (including
Lithuania).

Australian soldiers encompassed many cultural backgrounds,
including our own Indigenous people.

General Sir John Monash was a well known member of the
Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) who was not Anglo-Celtic.
His parents were born in Prussia (now Poland) to Jewish
families. Monash overcame the entrenched anti-Semitism and
prejudice to become a leader of the Australian Army.

There's more at the following link telling us about the
cultural diversity in Australia's forces during World War 1.

experiences of our veterans.

Foxy said- "These volunteers had to

Answer- I think that this view that Foxy repeats is racist and genocidal and Anglophobic and Anti-White. Not sure where it comes from however it was apparently Trotsky that popularised the term "racist". Does that mean that Foxy is a Trotskyite? It seems that many socialists and social democrats like Trotsky. Trotsky groups apparently infiltrated working man's clubs and incidentally the gay movement in the sixties- seemingly looking for disenfranchised members of the society in order perhaps to destroy it. Perhaps Foxy is one of these enemy agents that seeks to destroy us.

It's possible for two ethnicities to be racist against each other at the same time. But if it's in your own house you can say what you want. If you don't like it go back to your own house.

Foxy should give up on her hate and be appreciative and grateful of the temporary sustenance that Australia has provided to her and her family but if she has turned against the descendants then she should leave. It's annoying when a guest becomes vindictive when you ask them to leave despite your generosity.
