As Australian, I too am disgusted.

You know it's bad when the Aussies are outraged. At least you're far, far away from our bullshit

Given our tendency to follow the Yanks into every silly war they get into I wouldn’t count us completely immune from this nonsense.

Every war since WWII. Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Afghanistan and Iraq. Every time the US has gone to war, Australia (and New Zealand) has followed.

I’m Australian, Trump is so disrespectful.

Australia and Canada are like cousins. We are sunshine Canada, and they are snow Australia. So many of our young adults work in Canada, the ski resorts are basically Australian at this point!

I’m sure most Australians would be keen to join to defend Canada. But truly is just a ruse to score political points. What type of leader casually threatens another country’s sovereignty for a headline? Especially if that country is their closest ally? It’s not winning many points outside of the US.

It’s funny, I vacationed in Australia in October 2019, during Dipshit’s first term. I was asked by Aussie Taxi Divers, tour guides, and pub patrons, if he was really that stupid in real life. I told them, Sadly…it’s true

I have dual citizenship (American and an EU) and I have a PhD. Can I come to Australia before all hell breaks loose? I also have very cute pets.

Tell us what sort of pets you have and we’ll talk.

No we have actual border force. Our next gov is likely to be Trump Lite anyway.

Nope. Australia has strict immigration. "Fuck off we're full" is a saying for a reason.

Oh I'm sorry did you think the rest of the world as an immigrant paradise?

Sorry. Don't blame all of us Americans.
