America Calls On Australia To Boost Military Spending. AKA Give Heaps More Money To US Arms Companies

The United States of America has called on Australia and it’s allies to ‘do more’ when it comes to defence.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hit a global security conference in Singapore on the weekend to demand that a bunch of countries spend even more money on weapons, which may or may not be mostly manufactured in the United States of America.

Leaders of the great Military Industrial Complex Pyramid Scheme, the US has asked Australia to lift it’s percentage of GDP spending on military to 3.5%.

Australia is currently on track to reach defence spending levels of 2.33 per cent of GDP by 2033-34, up from its current level of 2.02 per cent.

Hegseth addressed the conference claiming that an invasion of Taiwan by China is imminent, and saying that countries in the Pacific are under threat.

The usual war-hawking has been amplified in mainstream media across the country and the Western world, with ‘advisory bodies’ funded by arms manufacturers calling for Australia to just drop another few hundred billion a year on arms.

Despite not being able to save women from being murdered by their own partners or millions living below the poverty line, the usual crowd are banging on about the major threat to human life being China coming to invade us in a couple of years time.

Prime Minister has responded to the comments saying that we’ll decide our defence spending, thank you very much, and not just essentially double it because Hesgeth and Lockheed Martin boys want bigger bonuses.

More to come.
