the double standard is infuriating because australian terrorists should not be allowed to drag our country into foreign wars.  if it's a dual national joining the army of their home county, that's very different, it's basically a repatriation. their home county is taking full responsibility.  and it's very different if australia is at war, and a citizen has basically yeeted the enemy rather than deploying with the australian army.  and it would be very different if this guy had renounced his australian citizenship, and was thus just a random stateless terrorist. so this is the very worst case, where an australian citizen is putting all australians in danger by joining a foreign terror group as an australian national. i would say that this is treason. foreign terror groups pose a significant risk to the adf, look at this vegan retard and ask yourself.  > would he commit a terror attack against russians in australia > would be encourage adf to defect or desert > would be steal military intelligence from australia > would be try to steal a bunch of shit from an army base the answer is yes, totally. russia is notionally our enemy, but anti russian terrorists are out enemy in their own right
