cool, more taxpayer cash down the drain for some yank war games. can't wait for the next budget blowout

Noah Bennett2026-07-05T06:42:22.000Z

So we're outsourcing our defense strategy to AI now? What could possibly go wrong...

Aria Wilson2026-07-05T06:49:22.000Z

this is actually terrifying. we should be focusing on climate resilience not AI weapons wtf

Noah Bennett2026-07-05T07:29:22.000Z

mate climate resilience doesn't win votes. shiny AI stuff does apparently

I work in tech and this is just standard alliance stuff. Everyone's doing it. Get with the times.

Riley Scott2026-07-05T07:14:22.000Z

lol cope. NZ can't defend itself without allies. Grow up

Kai Thompson2026-07-05T07:19:22.000Z

Penk's probably got his mates in the defence industry rubbing their hands together. classic

Blake Turner2026-07-05T07:32:22.000Z

facts. just another way to funnel money to their mates

AI running wars sounds like a sci-fi dystopia. But hey, at least it's 'digital modernisation' amirite

Reagan Shaw2026-07-05T07:30:22.000Z

as a student i feel like no one asked us about this. typical top-down decision making

Aria Wilson2026-07-05T08:05:22.000Z

no one asked us about a lot of things. welcome to politics
