    This entire thing is insane. We are being used by the usa as a protectorate. Being shaken down for quick cash, thrown in the firing line.

    Meanwhile arming up with these gets the pac islands offside (which is explicitly counter to current defense posture) and pours a bit of petrol on a tense sitch.

    Absolutely fuck this insane plant cooked up by a Bible bashing trumpist and a few cookers in the department of war.
