Australia Will Deploy up to 100 Soldiers and a Military Aircraft to Europe in an Effort to Support Ukraine in Its Ongoing War With Russia

“Australia will deploy up to 100 soldiers and a military aircraft to Europe in an effort to support Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.
Defence Minister Richard Marles announced the contributions at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) leaders summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
At the request of NATO and Poland, Australia will deploy a Royal Australian Air Force E-7A Wedgetail aircraft in August along with 100 Australian Defence Force personnel.
Part of Operation Kudu, the deployment is designed to protect an international gateway for humanitarian and military assistance into Ukraine and will not be direct combat roles.
The deployment is expected to conclude by November and will compliment Australia’s more than $1.5billion in support to Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022.”
And meanwhile back in 2017
“Thousands in eastern Ukraine lose access to pensions
Retired and elderly people in the non-government-controlled Donbas region have lost their pensions as a result of registration requirements.”
Whilst
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his entourage have embezzled at least USD 400 million, which was sent to the country for the purchase of diesel fuel, reported Russian news agency TASS citing US Journalist Seymour Hersh’s website.”

I can’t help but think of the Hemingways expression re going bankrupt also applies to going to war – Gradually, then suddenly – which is ironic given bankrupt nations are the ones that usually go to war.
Slowly but surely Australia is going to be dragged into this quagmire that has nothing to do with us.
The Ukraine war can be easily resolved by carrying out the Minsk resolution allowing Donbas to hold an election to determine its government.
I fail to see why we should support a man who was named as one of the world’s biggest money launderers whilst failing to pay pensions to people in the land he claims is his.
Yet again the double standards by the Western establishment is appalling. They are determined to escalate global tensions no matter the cost.”
