60 Minutes Australia has churned out yet another fearmongering war propaganda piece on China, this one so ham-fisted in its call to beef up military spending that it goes so far as to run a brazen advertisement for an actual Australian weapons manufacturer disguised as news reporting.

Oh look, it's a defender of the military-industrial complex. Always on the side of the powerful. How unusual coming from this account.

You always say the same things, are you a bot?

Against China I approve of the military-industrial complex if they mount an actual effective defense program and don't funnel money away with bullshit. I absolutely hate when we waste money on shitty little wars just to keep them paid.

Nope. It's just blatantly obvious when accounts jump out in front of posts and start cheering for the military-industrial complex.

if they mount an actual effective defense program

Bahahahahahaha

"Accounts." I think you might just have a soft spot for commies, Comrade Chippy.

Patriots are against endless wars. They're trying to get us in another one with China. Good on you for supporting them, though. I'm sure the powerful appreciate the support and the opposition to the forever wars. After all, more war is what they want most of all.

China wants to rule the world, it's going to one day come down to a conflict because their ideology is not compatible with the West. I mean unless Evergrande ends up collapsing their economy, then the problem may very well take care of itself.

So, this has nothing to do with your support of the military industrial complex.

But you knew that.

Great McCarthy's Ghost! Are you kidding, what are we going to do, capitulate to asian supremacy? Or fight them with rocks and sticks?
