Really? I believe the military won the last civil conflict in the US.
I think there's some Marines in Darwin. Maybe a company, to reassure the Aussies the Yanks really do love them.

Imagine if the socialist morons get control here in the U.S.....they will cut the military, and that will mean all those countries that expect our protection will be on their own....to face Russia and China without the U.S. military to protect them......
Of course.....China and Russia will have bought the democrat party lock, stock and barrel so they won't lift a finger to stop the aggression....

More ignorance of American history. The last "civil conflict" was an engagement between 2 militaries, moron.
As I said before, you are clearly incapable of understanding the logistics of a well armed insurgency. If the Tsarnev brothers can shut down an entire metro area for 2 days with just a couple of pipe bombs and a single 9mm pistol - what do you think 10 people can do? 1,000? 1,000,000? And what are these big military monsters you keep alluding to going to do about it? Lob tank shells into downtown buildings? Call in air strikes on residential neighborhoods? Nuke a metropolis?
C'mon smartass - tell us how a government wins by blowing up it's own infrastructure and creating massive collateral damage, thereby generating waves of new insurgents in perpetuity?

If not for the marxists, I'd love it. Let all these elitest foreign cocksuckers fend for themselves. I'm more than happy not to send my tax dollars to police the planet. Dissolve NATO and every man for himself. Let's see who comes out on top.

Then we would see how much they love the U.S......Russian tanks in Paris would change their minds pretty quick as would Chinese Flags flying over Canberra.....

Moron....Trump did it during an emergency and doesn't plan on continuing it....bernie wants to do it as a feature, and has no plans of stopping it until people are eating their pets, and toilet paper no longer exists....
It's hardly fair to him to disrupt his happy picture of the world...
Absolutely. A civil war. That's what you're talking about, when insurrectionists turn their arms on the government.
They can be surrounded, contained, ghetto-ised. Apart from that, it's not like the Tsarnev brothers won anything, is it?
Sherman's march mean anything to you? Won the war, didn't it?
The Godfather will not be happy if you don't pay your protection money.
'Police the planet'!
That's a good one.

Couple of things:
1) I am a NZer, not Australian
2) The US has ASKED to be present at those bases in Australia. Australia didn't ask them to come. Being an ally, Australia has obliged.
3) I note from all your links, looks like Australia is doing all the heavy lifting in the SCS.
4) As if the US hasn't got a horse in the race in the South China Sea. It loves being Big Man on Campus. Don't make out you're doing anybody any favours when all you are doing is looking after your own self interest.
5) If China really did want to get to Australia it would have to get past 500 million Vietnamese, Indonesians and Filipinos first. And they hate the Chinese more than they hate Australians.
