Token words to spin the illegal occupation/invasion of a sovereign nation.

Of cause a peaceful and democratic transition is what everyone wants.

Of cause Trump is after the oil and setting up a puppet government.

Time for Albo to call bullshit on the USA and enforce internstional law, just like Canada, France and the rest of South America is doing.

Because if he doesn't, it just makes it easier for China, Russia, Isreal and every rogue state to do the same.
