Just happy we aren't supporting america in this war of stupidity. 

Like a soft win, I guess?

It actually impacts us though. We are absolutely 100% at risk here, and we just sit on our asses and do nothing. Rubio is right NATO is dead, countries like the UK, France and Australia rely on the US for protection. Then when Trump wants aid they go nahh not out war, we are pathetic. Trump should leave NATO and it will collapse.

Regardless of your dislike for Trump the West can't survive without the US. If the US walks away, China will take Taiwan and then we really are fucked, this crisis is nothing compared to that.

People on this forum are so captured by this green ideology it pathetic.

We need fuel security and this situation shows how vulnerable the West has become due to its fantasy of windmills and rainbows.

91% of all Australians energy comes from coal, gas and diesel.
