How the next Trump presidency in the US could lead to a greater military build-up in northern Australia Roll Eyes

Well... here's hoping, I guess! Aren't we a shithole country full of socialists?

Because the more of-use Australia still is to the US, the more likely we'll be included in their national defence strategies.

There is at least that hope but knowing Trump he'd be willing to sacrifice Australia in making a deal with China. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Yep, that'd be a safe bet! Aren't we a shithole country full of socialists?

The best we can hope for is the mass resignation of his senior generals in protest, as this mad emperor gets madder as he hits his 80s.

Never going to happen. There are more than enough MAGA fools to replace them. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

So what you're saying is if it did happen, he'd find incompetent military officers to over-promote to replace those who resign...

Americans are easily the most stupid people in the Anglosphere, but would the military stand back and let it happen?

Would the military open fire on anti-Trump protesting US citizens if ordered by Trump? Would they prefer resignation instead?

The US military has it deeply ingrained into them that the Politicians are in charge, to the point that Politicians can determine how they are to undertake operations. They are presently adopting a new rifle at a massive expense because the Politicians decided that they could not conduct all arms operations where mortars and HMGs are used to counter insurgents who outrange their own rifles. Seems remarkably silly to me. If they are MAGA fools they are their superiors and they won't risk mutiny to get rid of them. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
