Absolutely NOT!! The US is the reason for any retaliatory attacks. There was NO imminent threat. The US chose to go in and stir up the hornet's nest - they can bloody deal with the fallout. Why should a single Australian be dragged into the mess of a maniacal wannabe dictator?

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.

We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.

Totally. A self destructing race to the bottom. Cockroaches have been on the Earth much longer.

Someone tell Albo that you can’t say Australian personnel acted in compliance with international law and in the same breath say you haven’t done an assessment on the international law bit because that’s for the US and Israel to decide.

Fancy being led into world conflict by such a mob of hateful, reprehensible people. That’s what feels even more devastating this time around. Even in the disaster of the Iraq invasion, while we knew they were lying, they hadn’t been going out of their way to be the most vile, venal criminals.

My guess is Iran will strike us down the road when we are complacent and pleased with our apparent success. They will wait and activate sleepers to inflict maximum sorrow on the American people. Trump and his junk drawer cabinet of assholes will be long gone but unless US courts prosecute them,(1/2)

They hit the ship with a torpedoβ€”first time since WWII. Is this the new normal? Is the U.S. now claiming the right to roam the seas and sink anyone they want, whenever they want? What the hell is this administration greenlighting?

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

Was the US nuclear attack submarine that killed 100 Iranian sailors south of Sri Lanka yesterday operating out of HMAS Stirling, near Fremantle?

Just insane David. Trump and Netanyahu on a murderous illegal campaign. Keep calling it out loud in Parliament.

Trump’s America sinks Iranian frigate in international waters.

Trump and Netanyahu must be stopped from this illegal war. Fucking rogue cunts.
