Indy,

You are all for national service for the young today, but when you had the chance to "serve" you ran and hid, when between the ages of 18 and 35 you could have enlisted. At what age did you become an Australian citizen, bet it was before you turned 35.

With my Seniors National Service you and ttbn will make a couple of fine candidates for the Regiment.

No other option except what?

Colonise Palestine or colonise the entire West?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Allies_Foundation

'Parliamentary groups affiliated with the Israel Allies Foundation include the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus in the United States House of Representatives, the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus in the Israeli parliament, and similar groups in Uruguay, the Philippines, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Australia, Finland, Italy, Canada, Costa Rica, and Malawi. As of 2021, IAF supported 50 pro-Israel parliamentary groups worldwide. IAF takes politicians and heads of pro-Israel organizations on paid-for tours of Israel.'

I can just imagine how the Jewish Australian mainstream media would react if Australian politicians were being given paid trips to China.

Mossad motto: 'By way of deception you shall engage in war'.

I'm sick of all this shite.
It seems one major Australian party has been captured by a foreign entity.
Coalition does not even represent Australians anymore in my book.
They may as well be an Israeli / Jewish party.

Christians who put Jewish interests ahead of Australian interests are now the nations enemy.

Judeo-Christian values are a lie!

Albanese is currently running around playing pretend statesman and telling anyone who'll listen how important free trade is, especially to Australia. This is in response to the Trump tariff proposals.

And free trade is indeed vitally important to Australia. We would be a very different place if we lived in a world where free trade wasn't the norm. A vital, indispensable aspect to free trade is the freedom of the seas that currently applies. History shows that this is not the norm. Only relatively short periods of history (the Athenian thalassocracy, Pax Romana and the last two centuries) have seen free movement of people and goods on the open seas.

The US took over from Britain to ensure and police this movement of goods free from national or piratical interference. The entire Australian economic system relies on it. We therefore rely on the continued western policing of the oceans over which our exports (and imports) travel.

So we have to support the US hegemony for our own economic survival. We've seen a small example of what happens when the US decides to not police the oceans in the Red Sea and the effect that's had on Asian-European trade.

To do our part in supporting the western project we need to be seen to be making all efforts to carry our weight. That means spending on defence and spending on helping the extra-territorial defence of western interests. We need the US to be engaged. And they'll only remain engaged while they feel they aren't being taken advantage of.

The daft notion that we can go it alone utterly misunderstands history and the present. Theoretically we could make an adversary wary of directly attacking the Australian continent. But that's it. We can't in any scenario this side of 2100AD consider being able to independently protect our vital sea-lanes.

That's why we've supported Britain when it ruled the waves and why we will continue to support the US while-ever it deigns to police the world's oceans.

Yes. We are heavily reliant on freedom of sea routes and, therefore, the US. Without the US, Australia is easy pickings for our enemies. And, we need to start manufacturing essentials again. JD Vance said before thd election that it was stupid for the US to rely on trade and imports from their biggest threat, China. The same applies to here.
