In response to Australia’s dependence on the US does not end with Trump

Can we believe this man?

Stewart Sweeney’s article is extremely timely. Just look at the ABC news today:

“Shortly after Israel’s strikes on Friday, US President Donald Trump said: ‘The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran’.

“Nothing, that is, except it was forewarned, and that central to Israel’s military capability is US funding, US hardware, US intelligence and US technology.”

That highlights the seeming perfidy surrounding the US-Iran nuclear and sanctions talks. There is a a further cost to the lives of many innocent people, and the real threat of an expansion of the conflict, drawing in yet more countries, including Australia, if it is not already involved because of Pine Gap and Nurrungar.
