Do Australians have a choice? We in Canada have had to put up with American military bullshit while they've been looking at our Northwest Passage with suspiciously greedy eyes.

That's our fucking sea, go get your own.

Oof. That's a hot take. You know Alaska makes up part of that coastline, right? Basic geography, but you seem like you might take issue with that anyway.

Not the relevant part of the Northwest Passage. Go away, US Psyops
