Following Japan’s lead – ВREАKING: Аuѕtrаliа Таkеѕ HUGЕ Ѕtаnd Fоr Аmericа… Putѕ Nоrth Коreа Оn Nоticе
While the world watches and waits to see the next moves made by Washington and North Korea, other world leaders are setting the table for what could end up a conflict, or worse, a full-on war. Our dear friends down under just stunned the world with one epic statement about defending the United States and how they feel about North Korea.
Breitbart reports: CANBERRA, Australia — Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says if North Korea directly launches an attack on the United States mainland or any of its overseas territories including Guam, Australia will immediately join the conflict.
“America stands by its allies, including Australia of course, and we stand by the United States,” Mr Turnbull told local radio station 3AW on Friday morning. “So be very, very clear on that. If there’s an attack on the US, the ANZUS Treaty would be invoked and Australia would come to the aid of the United States, as America would come to our aid if we were attacked.”
The ANZUS Treaty binds the U.S., Australia and New Zealand together in a defense pact covering military matters in the Pacific Ocean region. It provides that an armed attack on any of the three parties would be dangerous to the others, and that each should act to meet the common threat.
Mr Turnbull also revealed he had discussed North Korea’s behaviour with U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence overnight, calling it “the most dangerous flashpoint in the world today, ” adding the terms of the Australia-U.S. alliance were clear.
“But be under no misapprehension, in terms of defence, we are joined at the hip,” he said. “The American alliance is the absolute bedrock of our national security. If there is an attack on the U.S. … we would come to their aid. “Now, how that manifests itself obviously will depend on the circumstances and the consultations with our allies.”
