So, you know, obviously this regime has been in place and around for a very long time.

We know that after the recent protest there earlier this year, there was a brutal reaction to that from the regime.

And Trump said loads of presidents have wanted to do this, but basically I'm the only one who's had the balls.

Why hasn't anybody else done it?

I thought that the Republicans and the MAGAs in particular were very keen on America not getting involved in foreign conflicts.

I thought that was one of their main things.

They were always whinging that Biden and Obama before him had sent too many Americans off to foreign wars that didn't have anything to do with them, and Republican presidents, of course.

So does this...

escalation of conflict that America is involved in.

Isn't that contradictory to what his base would want?

Just a couple of more local things I wanted to know, Amelia.

Why is Albo, why has our Prime Minister come out in support?

You said at the beginning of this conversation, he's came out and supported what America and Israel have done.

A lot of leaders around the world have not.

British Prime Minister, European leaders have said no.

Why do you think Australia supported it?

And then my second part to that question is,

In terms of it affecting Australians, one of the ways that it's affecting Australians at the minute is travel chaos.

Anyone who wants to go to Europe at the moment, to parts of the Middle East, we've got listeners who live in that part of the world.

Flights are grounded.
