Australia had less fatalities per capita during COVID-19 than the US (by the way the virus originated in a Wuhan Lab undertaking 'Game of Function' experiments funded by the US). You're right to imply/infer that Australians enjoy many more freedoms than the average American (we have tougher gun laws and therefore don't experience glut/spate of 2nd Amendment 'Mass Shootings' America gleefully puts up with ( how many last year. . . perhaps 500 in the 'Land of the Free' - did you know that the 2nd Amendment was written to placate Southern Slave Owners who feared Slave revolts? Nah, they don't teach that in school anymore. . . pity).

US Military bases in Australia make my country less safe - fact Ol'Freedom Dawg!
