Why are the greens like this? How is being prepared to defend ourselves and help our allies “a concern”?

    Any idea whatsoever what that alternative is then?

    This is what I’m getting at, I’m sick of people bringing up problems without offering a solution.

      So you think no-one can criticise an action if they do not present an alternative? That’s a pretty ridiculous take, but ok, lets see:

      • Normal training, not “wargames” with other countries
      • Wargames internally, in NZ
      • Liaising with militaries in active war-zones, such as Ukraine, to provide specific training
      • Don’t have extra training at all, over what is normally done

      I’m not in the military, but these are four alternatives to their current action that I came up with in about 30s. I’m sure better minds could find a solution relatively easily.

      I find the requirement of providing an alternative otherwise you dismiss any criticism silly.

        My point was, it’s very easy to stand back and criticise, much harder to come up with the alternative, and I don’t typically respect the opinions of people who only do the former.
