#RichardMarles, #PennyWong, #AnthonyAlbanese, #ALP When Trump goes to war against Iran, we are on his side. (the new world disorder, we have to choose a side) - got it.

So ... when Trump declares war on #Greenland / #Denmark, whose side then? When Trump declares war on #Cuba, whose side then?

#Antarctica (fuck them penguins, amirite?)
#Ukraine?
#UK?

What _exactly_ will it take before you want to leave the #AmericaFuckYeah team?
