Trump’s win means we’ve narrowly avoided war

President Donald Trump will be the 49th President of the US after a landslide victory.

There is little doubt that the US is the mightiest military power in human history. At a time when Australia’s ability to defend itself is at its lowest in one hundred years, we need the US, as our major ally, to retain its superpower status as a deterrent against foreign aggression.

With Trump’s return to the White House, we can rest easy that our enemies will think twice before acting. He will restore morale to the West and give other Western governments an opportunity to restore their faith in Western ideals.

Writing in the Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

And finally, Michael de Percy who – credit where credit is due, was writing his election reaction moments after the result – says that from a national security perspective, Australia has narrowly avoided war with the Trump victory. Certainly, the world’s most powerful leaders are already making nods toward Trump. It’s clear that they take him more seriously than MSM.
