Yeah so we need to increase the rent on pine gap because they are our trade deficit.

Just for four years or more.

You do realise they are planning on not having elections again, right?

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Last time we thought about taking Pine Gap back the CIA installed a new PM...might want to tread carefully there. The US has always taken a dim view of their vassals thinking for themselves

That was back before the crazed monkeys took over the helm tho.

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you think the crazy monkeys will react less viciously then they did back when they were just sane but nasty ?

Press X to doubt

No, i think they're gonna be a lot stupider about it

this is legitimately a good suggestion. America is free to pull funding , as dirty as it is. but we are also free to require extra rental income to properly fund our programs. if they don't like it they can fuck off

Cancel pine gap and all intel sharing, cancel subs, cancel F35's, join NATO.
