Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has pledged to take the “strongest possible action” against Russia if it is confirmed that Russian forces killed a Melbourne school teacher in their captivity in Ukraine.
His advisor told him before the interview what the strongest possible action they could take is. It wasn’t very strong.
What could Australia even do? The article mentions Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 and how they kept relations with Russia through all of that. An Australian chap who voluntarily went to fight for Ukraine and got killed isn’t going to be able to conjure much reason to change that.
Yeah that’s what I’m not understanding. He voluntarily joined the foreign legion. If he was captured then tortured or executed that’s one thing. Tragic, but he knew the risks.
File a strongly worded letter with the department of filing strongly worded letters, and then send out a press packet saying they’ve done it.
What could Australia even do?
Fuck all, it’s grandstanding.
Send weapons.
Corruption is a serious problem but it is a different problem. It is possible to help Ukraine without corruption. A bit of extra transparency would be a nice “fuck you” when fighting a very corrupt regime.
No there is not. Every warmongering effort is motivated by money first and foremost. This war exist to sell weapons.

Maybe some vagin?
Mate if you’ve been holding back helping the Ukrainians more until something like this has happened, theres something wrong with the your perception of this conflict.
Also that Melbourne School Teachers a true aussie hero.
Empty rhetoric just makes him look weak. “strongest possible action” is meaningless. He’s tried to sound tough but by saying nothing he comes across as disingenuous. And politicians wonder why people hate them!
That wet flog won’t do jack.
Would your prefer a potato?
The potato would be arranging to send Australian prisoners to fight for the Russians, because nothing makes a potato happier than miserable people feeling more miserable. Don’t worry … he’s not a monster …
Ah yes let’s send soldiers to attack a nuclear power. What could go wrong? Brought to you by the country that lost a war against emus.
P.S. I love emus can you guys send me one? Euro here
