I do find that interesting as well
Actually I think its fantastic that Australia isn`t being America`s lap dog for a change.I wonder if Australia will be able to withstand the pressure
if and when it comes.
The World created the Chemical Weapons Convention to ban/destroy stockpiles of Chemical Weapons.
The World recently gave Iran a high seat on the Convention. Why?
The Convention mandated all weapon stockpiles be destroyed by X Date. The United States failed to destroy its stockpile by the date and requested a 5
year extension.
The 5 year extension came and went and we still didn't destroy our stockpile, we just asked for another 5 year extension...and are publicly stating
we won't have our Chemical Weapon stockpile even destroyed by that date.
We also submitted a notice to the Convention we are not comply with the mandate to cease making deadly biologicals. We have stated we need them for
"industrial manufacturing".
You can read it all on the Chemical Weapons Convention website. Read what Iran submitted. Notice the world is getting mad at us for not complying.
Hence why we want to kill those speaking out against us wanting to keep our Chemical Weapon Stockpile....in violation of the Treaty we are a party
to.
It's a cheap force multiplier. Faced with a world that hates us, we ain't getting rid of weapons that can annihilate everyone on the planet.
Australia knows they may need our force multiplier some day and is currently torn somewhat on the issue.
