@MartinMurray_Ag Not sure if any of this is true or not, how plausible ect, but certainly suggestive that there is more strategy and planning than what is mostly being trotted out. I’ve followed the author for a while and is always interesting.

@MartinMurray_Ag My point is, if we are back in a world where hard power matters and nations must take their own security seriously and not outsource everything, then the US is looking much better than us. But as stated. I’m a pleb and these are opinions only, I may be completely wrong.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@MartinMurray_Ag Which amounts to what? We need their stick. Europe relies on their stick!it. Their navy secures our seas and our trade. We have no navy, no merchant navy and no industrial capacity, no registered ships, almost no refining and no drilling. Who looks like they need credibility?

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@MartinMurray_Ag You could say the same about Iran.
The US is still an energy, agricultural, technology, capital superpower with still one of lowest rates of demographic decline in the developed world. If Iran doesn’t collapse, why would the US? A bad period in its long arc, or not, who yet knows

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@MartinMurray_Ag Can’t argue with that. But that doesn’t equal the fall of the American empire.

@MartinMurray_Ag @jalbirri It matters when you have a countdown clock for the exporting of your religious revolution to bring about the apocalypse and the return of the imam, having built the largest nonstate military and narcotics cartel. But hey, it’s not in our backyard, just blame it on Israel instead.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@MartinMurray_Ag I think it is too early to tell. It has clearly shown their ability to threaten the straits from using cheap drones. I find this Arab perspective extremely informative, and gives a view that our incessantly anti US and Israel coverage needs.

@JohnCleese @GrayConnolly The fact that they were welsh is particularly irritating.

@Oscarthefarmer Not disagreeing with the scale of the crisis or the massive concern of Trump,
But you need to listen to this podcast. I learn more from each episode of this than one can read in all Australian commentary, ABC etc combined over the last month.

@Oscarthefarmer PH is not charismatic or anything like an attractive populist politician, but ON has an established party infrastructure that people turned to hoping for something different. But I agree, I don’t think they will be capable of governing. Lots to happen yet!

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@Oscarthefarmer Not sure about that, maybe. But I think the social media campaigns wouldn’t necessarily result in such a high movement in the polls. I think (happy to be wrong) it is more a rejection of the parties because of an inarticulateted but perceived decline and failure of the country.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@Oscarthefarmer Yes, unintended consequences. But The voters are speaking and the major parties need to listen. Driving industry offshore while increasing electricity costs and reducing reliability also has consequences and does not achieve environmental benefits. Will ON fix this… I doubt it.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@Oscarthefarmer *rise in the polls…

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@Oscarthefarmer I agree, big risks. But the pressure being put on the major parties because of ON’s ris win the poles may be a very good thing. The kick up the arse they need. They have been negligent. We are a gas and food exporting nation and yet produce no urea. Criminally negligent imo

@MmarianneJoseph Cohesion doesn’t appear to ever really exist. National cohesion is greatest during times of conflict, unfortunately. Peace time isn’t great for cohesion. Religious ritual of all sorts are designed for implicit cohesion, and explicitly in the form of the sacrament of communion.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@Peter_Fitz Maybe what tears us apart is Islamic terror on Bondi, and the government not wanting to talk about islamic terror on Bondi.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@stationmum101 Because they are utterly incapable of having that conversation. I’ve had the abc on in the tractor since 7am and haven’t heard a single word about immigration or jihadism. They’re paralysed, they have no ability to talk about the issue.

[A Little Bit Agricultural @alittlebitag]

@clairlemon Thanks Claire. Dan Carlin does a fantastic episode called “painfotainment” on public executions.
Also should draw on Rene Girard: Public executions are a sacrificial event in a post sacrificial era that generates immense social and moral cartharsis. We still seek it, elsewhere.
