I thought to myself - i will read this at a later time since am busy today - then i quickly scrolled through just to browse, and saw the former Aus PM Tony Abbott lol. (I'm living in Australia.) My heart jumped into my mouth then i started laughing. (He is often the object of jokes because he is super conservative)

Did NOT expect to see Abbott there and certainly didn't know anything about the extent to which someone like Romaniw might meet with Aus PMs and write in Aus newspapers (Murdoch ones, I presume). But I'm not surprised deep down. Australia is the biggest non-NATO contributor amongst the West, in terms of funding for weapons in Ukraine, whereby the Ukraine govt is basically a satellite of the US at this point. Same with Europe and Aus being vassal states for the US (as demonstrated with European obsequiousness to the US on hating Russia and their blasé reaction to the Nord Stream destruction, and with Australia signing up to do dumb things against China and shooting itself in the foot again and again for the US)

As my parents say, it's always ordinary people who suffer the most during wars (they both left as refugees from Viet Nam). I'm so sad and frustrated that it keeps happening again and again (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and more) and these are all ultimately the West destroying entire countries. I feel like Ukraine had a good chance of independence if people didn't keep screwing it over and over.
