Act of War?
Yes this is an act of war.
A political Pearl Harbor.
Conducted by our so-called allies.
Australia is just a bit player.
“Act of War?”
No, just Australia honoring a secret treaty, going back to the end of WWII, the 5 Eyes agreement. Obama’s spies/thugs requested that the UK and Australia honor a request approved by our FISA court. Those FISA approved requests were sent to Australia, the UK and Canada (?) to spy on/monitor/surveil candidate Trump and his people. Then, President Elect Trump and his people and probably even President Trump and his people.
The 5 Eyes treaty enabled The UK, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand to spy/monitor/surveil our people when we requested the spying via the FISA courts.
Then, to report their findings to our president and his other top level administration people.
In turn we spied, monitored/surveiled on their citizens when they requested.
This was set up to avoid any country from “illegally” spying on its citizen.
Supposedly, our FISA courts protected our citizens and had to approve each request that any of the other 5 Eyes countries to monitor specific citizens and to limit findings to those citizens or to say no.
The Dems have owned and controlled our FISA courts for decades. Who would they protect and say no surveillance of, or would release the intel services of a 5 Eyes country on to, fellow Dems or people Trump and his people.
An interesting past re 5 Eyes, apparently two of past Aussie Prime Ministers didn’t know about 5 eyes as they were considered to be security risks.
So it is not an act of war. It was an abuse of the FISA courts by Obama/Brennan/Clapper and??
Besides directing our venom at Obama and his attempted coup followers, we should reevaluate any need of the 5 Eyes agreement.
We probably should drop our membership and refuse any requests from the other 5 Eyes people to spy on their people.
Then should 5 Eyes or whatever has replaced it be discontinued?
