Paul,

If one is being attacked by a force that intends murder and rapine on one's people and one is short of ammunition and arms then the supply of such ammo and arms is humanitarian and it matters not their origin.

Is Mise,

"If one is being attacked by a force that intends murder and rapine on one's people and one is short of ammunition and arms then the supply of such ammo and arms is humanitarian and it matters not their origin."

Which explains Abbott's chest thumping on Russia and Ukraine how exactly?

Yesterday I made the following comments;

“This remark from him a couple of weeks ago “None of us would have thought a month or so back that Australian uniforms might be within 30 or 40km of the Russian border” is just so telling. Why did he couch it in those terms? Because the thought obviously sends a thrill down his spine.”

“Well I am personally very glad we had the likes of Former Air-Marshal Andrew Houson to calm Tony's cold war hard-on on this occasion but I am positive Abbott will not be denied forever, and it is going to cost lives.”

Little did I think Abbott's hard-on was going to put 'Australian uniforms” “within 30 or 40km of the Russian border” so bloody soon.

This from the ABC;

“Australia will open an embassy in Kiev and is considering providing military assistance to Ukraine as it battles Russian-backed rebels, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has told Parliament.”

"I am pleased that our flag will shortly fly alongside Ukraine's as a sign of our support in these troubled times."

He wants this so bad it is frightening.

Paul,

".....The primeministership has gone to his head. He is now thinking he is an international statesman, and a world leader, when clearly he is not anything of the sorts. Abbott is simply a nincompoop who should be kept in his box...."

Ain't that the truth.

But he's got Credlin and his band of trusty puppeteer/advisers writing the script for the foreseeable future.

Gee, Peta's done so well so far, hasn't she....

SR, Parrot,

The moment you start attacking me I know that you have exhausted your pitiful reasoning ability.

While both of you paid up members of the (fortunately) small band of looney left whingers have your own cut outs of TA to blame for every thing from global warming to sunspots. It must be hard for you to be so continually wrong.

Let's see some of the wildly inaccurate stories that the looney tried to sell as fact, and have been proved bullcrap.
1 Abbott is unelectable
2 The boats can't be stopped without a regional solution,
3 Indonesia won't stand for the boats being turned around,
4 TA is a misogynist (he winked)
5 TA won't repeal the carbon tax,
6 TA won't repeal the mining tax,
7 TA is not suited for foreign affairs (received high praise from Obama and pretty much every foreign leader he has met)

As for the greens a more idiotic bunch you could not find, Peter Whish-Wilson said Islamic State fighters should not be described as “terrorists” because Australian forces could also be viewed by some as terrorists.

Yeah, SM, Tones is a first class statesman and diplomat.

(If one holds grandstanding, chest-thumping, sloganeering, foot-in-mouth, opportunistic liars in high esteem)
