RE: We are not a democracy. We are a representative republic.
Does that mean we are more “protected” from what’s happening in Australia?
None of the people in this photo look Nordic at all. They’re a bunch of Arabic Muslim looking mutts.
*cough* Australia is way worse lol.
No we’re not! Our government is illegitimate and corrupt.
ripe for a china take over, stupidity and no guns
OBAMA/BIDEN PURGED PRE - ”WOKE” MILITARY OF THOSE WHO SOUGHT VICTORY
By Daniel John Sobieski
Before the military was “woke”, it was purged and softened by Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden, purging it of career officers who believed it was their job to win wars and not scour the ranks of “white rage” and white supremacists. What was left were the likes of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, who fears Indiana grandmothers roaming the Capitol on Jan. 6 than he does the People’s Liberation Army of China.
Milley followed the Congressional testimony the equally “woke” Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Michael Gilday. Instead of preparing our fleets for battle, Admiral Gilday is damning the torpedoes and going full speed ahead on pushing critical race theory on the Navy by putting a book espousing critical race theory on the Navy’s reading list for sailors.
It is the Trump-hating Milley and Gilday and others like them who are being political and disgracing their uniform and their country in doing so. Their job is not to be “woke” but to make sure our enemies on the battlefield never wake up again.
It was not hyperbole when GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said in 2016 that under President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden the U.S. military had been “reduced to rubble” and left floundering without a coherent strategy or meaningful capability to win wars. It was engineered by Barack Hussein Obama to reduce America’s global footprint, an America he profusely apologized for, and one he blamed for all the world’s ills.
Almost as soon as he took office, President Obama began a military purge not dissimilar to those routinely conducted by Third World despots, with the goal of eliminating voices that might oppose his withdrawing of America from the world stage. In an October 29, 2013, editorial I wrote for Investor’s Business Daily, “Obama’s Military Coup Purges 197officers In Five Years”, I noted…
Can’t help but say that when a nation like Australia disarmed its citizens and only the government has guns such tyranny is both possible and likely
Yes because we have a 2nd amendment and millions of sophisticated weapons.
This is the logical next step when the citizens are disarmed.
The amount of misinformation I am seeing spreading on Freerepublic about this is ridiculous.
Yes, there are places in Australia which lock down way too easily and some state governments are pushing levels of restrictions that are somewhat disturbing.
But the use of the Australian Defence Force in these cases is no more than their normal use in disaster situations - and I’ve seen plenty of times in the US where things like the National Guard are called out in similar situations. This is Australia’s version of that. The ADF is not being deployed in any sort of law enforcement role but in a civil defence capacity. There is a big difference. Speaking as a retired officer of the ADF, nothing about the use of the ADF disturbs me in this case - some actions by police are a different matter.
And, just for the record - guns aren’t banned in Australia. There are way too many dumb restrictions but they are not banned. This myth spread around the United States causes so many problems and actually makes it harder for people here in Australia to maintain our firearms if we choose to have them - because it just encourages the extreme anti-gun people here to become bolder and bolder.
