It is beyond me why Australia is so obsessed with military spending

is it because we need a material tie to our powerful allies so that when China finally cracks it at our racist shit-talking, they will come and protect us?

@incrediblemelk If America is stupid enough to go to war with China, they are not going to fight it on their own soil, they always pick another country, and it looks like it's our turn.
@Debra We are cannibalising our whole economy for a gamble involving third-party countries whose actions we can't control
@incrediblemelk I know, it saddens and angers me so much.
