brian doesn't like those who are functionaries and servants from the 'Great Satan'.

Australia should be inviting Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps troops, to train here perhaps brian ?

Why do you assume I would be happy with any foreign troops being stationed on Australian soil?

My question remains, why do we need them? What threat are we under that is so great we need foreign troops to protect us from it? Yadda, you are supposedly a realist. What is the threat that requires foreign troops? Roll Eyes

I feel that Australia still owes the U.S.A. a debt [WWII].

Actually, if Muslims are Australian citizens I don't have a problem the majority of them who are peaceful, hard working, mainstream, people. Unlike you, it appears they can never become Australians, hey, Cods?

Now, Muslims, any foreign troops I have problems with, being stationed here or exercising here, even. You appear to welcome other nations' troops to Australia for some reason, Cods. I wonder why? What do you fear so much that you are willing to lay out the "Welcome" mat?

Australia has for too long believed other nation's interests are it's interests. What is that makes us think that way, I wonder? Mmmm? Roll Eyes

What is the purpose of alliances but to help us out of "shite"?

We have asked for American help on numerous occasions and been rebuffed every time. Sometimes we were mistaken but occasionally we weren't. The A**US treaty seems to have meant diddly-squat to Washington, except when it needed us to provide a fig leaf of respectability to it's latest piece of military adventurism. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

What debt would that be, Yadda? What debt do we owe the US? I'm genuinely interested in finding out.

Now here is another question. What does it take to pay off that "debt"? How many Australian lives are required, how much blood? Mmmm? Roll Eyes

This is a normal training rotation that has been happening for years. I see no reason to cancel it given that the personnel will be fairly isolated anyway and we should be operating as normally as possible even with the virus.
