Remember The War On Emus...

[waitingman]

Another week, another 'Conservative' right-wing loony criticising Australia for our Covid responses. This one wants to send in the USA Army to 'liberate' us, because our government is apparently as bad as the Taliban, while noting that the USA lost the war in Afghanistan... I'm not sure why then, Candace Owens thinks sending US troops to invade Australia is a good idea - does she think it's time the USA had a win & Australia would be an easy beat?

Then again, Candace may be onto something there... we once sent our army out to tackle the rogue emu population in Western Australia. Much like the War on Terror, the birds proved hard to find & at one point, an average of 10 bullets were used to kill each bird. The 'war' stopped & started again, between 1932 & 1948, as the emus numbers constantly bounced back. Sound familiar?

So, US army - be careful before you get involved in another war in a mostly desert country... Your track record isn't good... but, judging by the amount of emus still around, neither is ours!!

What might happen

It is also reminiscent of The 1959 Movie "The Mouse that Roared"

The plot is that a small nation declares war on the United States planning to lose in order to be rebuilt. The problem is that they win. Hilarity ensues.

And the animated version.
