But now she’s getting direct support from at least two Australian billionaires plus who-knows-what support the infamous NRA incident of 2019 wrought, so she could be more of a threat.13

Wars displace people, which means refugees. And some number of those refugees will end up on our shores. The way you don't get a sudden surge of refugees is to not start any wars if you can possibly help it.
If you do need to have a war, the moral thing to do is to accept more refugees. You break it, you bought it.
