Scott Morrison says he is not anticipating Australia will be called upon to respond to escalating tensions in Ukraine as fears of an imminent Russian invasion grow.

He highlighted the country was “very mindful” of the escalating situation with 1,400 Australians living in the Ukraine.

Mr Dutton celebrated Australia’s long-standing partnership with the UK and United States in anticipation of his meeting with UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, referring to the UK as “family” and a “great ally”. “The UK will play a big role in trying to deter Russia in whatever action they’re thinking about in regard to the Ukraine so that’s a huge concern I’m sure for the UK and the world at the moment,” he told 2GB radio. The UK has announced it will supply Ukraine with “self-defence” weapons due to a possible Russian invasion.

The US has given its greatest indication yet that it believes President Vladimir Putin will choose to invade Ukraine following weeks of a Russian military build-up along the border, with about 100,000 troops now moved to the outskirts of the country.

Why don't they send in an United Nations Peace keeping force made up of most nations otherwise what's the point of having a UN.🤔

Scott Morrison can either fuck right off, or take it to Parliament and let the people who are supposed to represent us decide.

Australia won’t be called upon for anything with Morrison in charge, he’s turned our once respected country into an international embarrassment and laughingstock

Dutton is salivating at the prospect of a pre election war distraction.

But he does have a battalion of children on standby incase the need arises

But if he thinks there’s a vote in it, he will throw us in there quicker than he took off too Hawaii during the bushfires.

Russia will ‘move in’ to Ukraine: Biden’s grim forecastEscalating Russia-Ukraine tensions have led President Joe Biden to predict conflict between the two European nations which will trigger a strong response from the United States. He knows this because he will probably order Ukraine to create some sort of black op designed precisely to create a war. Sounds like creating a problem and then offering a solution. Bored of same tactics being used for everything. Come up with something new, like aliens 👽.
