    “Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed BY ME!” Trump had said.

    He forgot to say the quiet bit for once so I added it.

      I dislike Israel, and our aparent fealty to them, as much as anyone but… I dont think thats likely to happen here.

      They’ve already been granted humanitarian visas so they have a pathway to citizenship and very little scope for israel or anyone else to intervene.

    Such a bullshit political stunt. When are we granting the US team asylum so they don’t have to return to an unsafe country where they may be incarcerated without representation or simply executed in the street by state militia?
