@mumbletwits I've known Andrew Hastie for 25 years. He always was a decent & upstanding individual.
Faux patriots attack in ignorance & bad faith.
BR-S is obviously innocent until proven guilty but does anyone honestly think he didn't act as described - whether he is found guilty or not?

@hughriminton @MaryLloyd4 @JacquelineMaley Is it really about wanting to junk the rules, or is it about leadership? When you run out of leaders, when the rules are being applied by hollow execs, time to go fight for the truth about this moment in time, making mistakes along the way.

@deemadigan Slow news Dee?

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@citrinowicz Well the Administration is capable of kicking the responsibility over to Congress and cherry-picking what it wants to prosecute going forward.

@LyndsayFreeman8 Hi, are you less mad at me now, not that I didn't deserve it?

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Days as President with the Strait of Hormuz closed.

Obama: 0
Trump: 63

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰 The feelings of shock and disappointment on the face of Pakistan's Prime Minister, after he was informed by the Iranian delegation they are leaving after Trump threatened them.

May the old man, surrounded by the cats he loves so dearly, always be filled with happiness.

@mumbletwits Bob Hawke anyone

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@Mpolymer Always worth remembering ETTD, everything Trump touches dies. The Iranian regime won't find negotiating with the Trump Administration a healthy experience. Expect nothing but rot.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@Mpolymer How could it be anything else? It was a unmitigated defeat despite the incredible performance of the U.S. military.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

Solid start

@mumbletwits @simongerman600 How many do think there are? It seems there are way too many, and that's before all the consultants.

@DanielMOakes As someone who has done 18 years in the military, has a Masters in Security & Strategy, and is currently helping to deliver a WWII Firepower Seminar Series because of how poorly prepared Australia is, you might say I find your response to his statement too quick to dismiss.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@RadioFreeTom @PhillipsPOBrien I went to reply to @SpencerGuard and found he had blocked me. A strange action for someone who seems to want to make arguments in the public space. I always engaged respectfully, and as he knows I found him compelling post Oct 7 in Israel.

However, he is wishful thinking now.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

Careful, it might choose to condemn the illegal war that led to it first.

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

The international community must condemn Iran for filling the Strait of Hormuz with mines and charging tolls for the passage of commercial vessels.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@hughriminton There was no imminent threat, and the Admin hasn't really tried to suggest there was. The best they argue is the "intention", a failed justification for kinetic action. Hence they are failing much quicker than Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan.

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@mumbletwits No Turnbull

[Brett Sprague @BrettSprague8]

@heatherewart1 He wouldn't recognise this world. He wouldn't recognise a world where the U.S. is torching the global order. He would recognise the strain on the Coalition where its major ally is rogue, is revolutionairy. Australia and Australian institutions are adjusting.
