@MichaelWestBiz We ๐ฆ๐บ must recognise there is a whole structure, below the sycophanty presented by our governments and media, that we are unable to interrogate because we remain a colonial settler colony of the UK, and now USA.

@PeterCronau@TheGrayzoneNews Matt Kennard co founder of .@declassifiedUK talks about the floundering of US, UK, Roman empires and the 2nd edition of his 2011 book in which he featured, current US Sec of War, Hegseth as an example of relaxed US army recruitment standards.

@leckie_cameron@WarintheFuture@LowyInstitute The analysis ๐ of NATO/Russia war in Ukraine is ๐ฏ.
This ๐analysis of USA, UK empires and their evolution is also informative.
Matt Kennard, cofounder of .@declassifiedUK, featured Hegseth in his 2011 book!

@ForeignAffairs@amanda_hsiao@BonnieGlaser Now that China has used Rare Earths to remind the 250 yrs old juvenile, Colonial-Settler state that "people in glass houses shouldn't throw the first stone" it's ok among some elites in Washington to say China is not about to settle their civil war with the KMT forcefully.
Owen Jones, Guardian Opinion writer, on evidence that Israel interferes in elections in Western countries.
So why not Australia.
Afterall we still don't know who financed anti-israel attacks on Jewish property last year.

@DavidGVallance@LowyInstitute@SamRoggeveen Foreign policy and defence is no longer the prevail of our elites.
Voters need to consider what this USA "zero sum" or "my way or the highway" view of global relations looks like from other cultural views.

@leckie_cameron@SenatorWong Imo. If Wong can only utter mild words of condemnation when Australian's are killed or abused by Israelis there is no chance Wong will condemn UK over a ship seizure.
Even when Zelinskyy attends the G7 and Australia doesn't.

@baoshaoshan Perhaps it's time to think like the other side eg China does. Instead of accept the faulty reasoning of USA inculcated, and career dependent ๐ฆ๐บ elites.

@business The USA can't meet its protection obligations to its Gulf clients.
The USA should fold it's Taiwan cards now, go home to deal with its internal problems, and allow the waring factions of a Civil War to negotiate their own settlement.
@baoshaoshan Fortunately, precision strike missiles will remove the capability, and limit civilian casualties.
A grotesque argument adhered to within our USA aligned elites who view China as military threat that wants global dominance.
If that is the case then where's evidence.
@ASPI_org@johncoyne14 When USA controlled supply chains it was called commercial foresight and a benefit of first mover advantage, all facilitated by neo liberal economics.
Now it's a threat?
@PeterCronau The loss of Australian lives is always saddening.
Still with the current quality of precision rocket delivered munitions a facility like "US/UK Naval Base Stirling" will result in fewer civilian deaths than WW2.
๐ฆ๐บ Needs Diplomacy not a target.

@PeterCronau Democracy can be and has been subverted by interference and money.
Interference and money ensures that conventions and legislation are written to favour the few, not the National Interest.
Our ๐ฆ๐บ democracy is no different.
