US to station troops in northern Australia
At some point the bizarre hubris of Barack Obama goes from tragic (the thousands killed and injured in his four years of oil wars in the Middle east) to laughable, establishing a permanent US military base in Australia.
For who? The cushiest assignment ever for the general who flatters Obama's $1.3T a year military spending that has bankrupted the nation (along with Obama/Bush tax cuts) for the last four years?
Why is a US that is broke, firing teachers, cutting Social Security and Medicare building a military base in Australia? The Kaliban Kangaroos planning a religious coup? Obama showing off his "this is how military empires collapse" history lesson of wildly stupid militar over extension as economy crumbles?
Oh wait...the punch line...to protect Australia from China. Ooookay....the last time China invaded Australia was....hmmm....nothing on the Wayback Machine there Mr. Peabody. Would that be the China that spends $200B to US $1.3T on military?
I haven't even heard the zaniest GOP candidate promoting a permanent military base in Australia but now that Obama has started the "Australia defense from China gap" debate, who knows where it will go.
