Marles plays down SAS report, says Australia will not put boots on the ground in Iran
ByJames Massola

Defence Minister Richard Marles has played down a News Corp report that 90 of Australia’s elite SAS soldiers were sent to the Middle East to offer help evacuating and protecting Australian diplomats in the region.

Marles said the federal government would not comment on the movements of Australia’s special forces troops, and added: “let me be absolutely clear – we are not having boots on the ground in Iran, and we’ve made that very clear from the outset of this conflict”.

Why do they need to be afraid?

Does the SAS murder civilians?

“ Investigations into Australian and British Special Air Service (SAS) forces in Afghanistan have uncovered credible allegations of war crimes, including the killing of unarmed detainees and civilians.”

All that is missing from our elite forces uniforms are a all black uniform with sleeve cuff titles and "sleeve diamond" patches, to indicate membership in specific branches of the SS.

Well, they'll fit right in with Trump's war then.

Yes, he is.

And yes, they are.

Instead of making America great again, he's completely destroyed it and now he's trying to take the rest of the world down with it/him.

As I've said on many occasions before, he is one of the biggest monsters of the 21st century.

I just hope he keeps eating Big Macs and doesn't exercise.

Dude. You need to research a lot more in regards to American 'Leftism' military bias against Australian military and SAS before you start shouting your mouth off.
We don't need your Media narrative of Apocalypse Now threats against Australian Military who refuse, reject and tell the CIA to get stuffed during the Vietnam War.

The very fabric of the Union Jack on our flag makes (pre-Trump era) the USA scared that they were the 'criminals' all along and not us (aka Colony of Convicts). You need to understand the 'American Media propaganda ' undermining our Military to make us out as evil Confederates, etc.

“ US-Iran war, fuel crisis live updates: Former US diplomat smashes Trump’s ‘delusional’ claim”.

Trump is completely mad and becoming increasingly unhinged ( perhaps the Epstein leaks are mentally effecting him?)

Given my very rough guess between the military equipment, ships of coal given to the Ukrainian forces as was the “ aid” money given by Penny Wong to terrorists Hamas as well as the current deployment to the Middle East the Australian defence force has in place to defend Australia 1/3 rd of our normal forces.

Basically if we were suddenly attacked and the weather was good for us we “ might “ be able to retreat to Tasmania and hopefully hold out for rescue too New Zealand if everything went perfectly too plan.

That is the level of self reliance we as a sovereign country have.

Given our wealth and lack of infrastructure I have to ask our politicians- “ where has all the money gone?”
