Critics call it militaristic or wasteful but patriots call it kino.

Australia needs more displays of defence force assets like this flyover from Brisbane’s Riverfire festival:

Massive shift: The UAE has just made a stunning U-turn, joining Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia in a blistering joint statement condemning Israel. They are demanding an immediate withdrawal to 1967 borders and a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem.

Abraham Accords? Officially in the trash. 🚨🔥

⚠️Australia is heading towards a fuel crisis.

Now that the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandeb straits are completely closed, and Russia is restricting fuel exports, it is worth remembering that Australia uses more diesel per capital than anywhere else, and sits at the end of the worlds longest supply chain.

The NATO Summit reads like a declaration of war. The Europeans got what they wanted: diplomacy is dead & this is now Trump's war. How to fight and defeat the world's largest nuclear power in a fight for its survival? We will now see massive escalation as we move toward total war

Even though Britain saw the rise of Reform first, it will be Australia that heads to the polls before Britain or the next U.S Presidential Election.

We are now the test case for rising levels of Anglosphere discontent with the major party status quo.

So, back where we were on Feb 27 with extra concessions for Iran. Quite the deal..

Congrats guys! We got Lindsey Graham ANOTHER term in the Senate!

Thank goodness for Trump draining the swamp and ousting the RINOs!

Great work MAGA!

Best explanation of the Iran War I’ve seen yet.
I mean the Iran Not-a-War.

Lets call it what its likely to be, a taxpayer funded backstop under these companies, some of which may never sustainably make profits amidst enormous levels of investment.

Ukraine is a front for US corruption - MacGregor

💬 “You have BlackRock that is trying to buy up hundreds of thousands of acres of Ukrainian farmland, you have people that are talking about turning western Ukraine into a new Israeli destination by diluting it from Ukrainians and bringing in people from Israel,” retired US Colonel Douglas MacGregor said.

He added that US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are also part of the scheme, as they only visit Ukraine to promote Trump’s interests.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

So under full Republican control, the Republican controlled Senate can’t pass the Save America Act for election integrity, the House just passed a bill giving another $9 billion to Ukraine, Republicans are planning to merge our military with Israel’s military while Trump has us in another foreign war that’s costing $2 billion a day and has driven gas over $4.50, and not a single person has been held accountable for the pedo Epstein files.

Obviously, Prime Minister Netanyahu desperately wanted the war but the unprovoked attack on Iran is a whole-of-government-failure.

The ugly truth is that Israel and its domestic American supporters captured the White House, the Congress, and largely control US defense and intelligence agencies.

🚨 To Senator Lindsey Graham… A message from the heart of Riyadh

Read this carefully, for what you are about to hear is not a flowery diplomatic statement, but the truth from the capital of decision-making that is leading the world towards a just peace:

Firstly: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not need lessons in ‘boldness’ from anyone. Remember, on 22 May 2026, Riyadh launched its historic ‘International Coalition for a Two-State Solution’ initiative, bringing together 165 nations from across the globe to endorse, recognise and support it. This is our international standing, and this is our boldness, which needs no endorsement from you.

Secondly: The entire world holds the Kingdom in the highest regard and esteem. We build our strategic relations with the East and the West, with Beijing, Moscow and Washington, and with the European Union, Britain and other influential international powers, in accordance with our national interests and our firm principles, not according to anyone’s dictates. And if you issue a statement linking the continuation of relations or threatening ‘grave repercussions’, you are thereby – in the most blatant manner – undermining the historic strategic relationship between the Kingdom and the United States. Such crude language is unbecoming of allies, and we address it only to those who are ignorant of the Kingdom’s standing and prestige.

Thirdly: Who inspired you to ask us to join the Abraham Accords as if you were doing us a favour or dictating our choices? Let us be clear with you: our position on the Palestinian cause is not a bargaining chip, and neither threats nor enticements will sway it. There will be no peace without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is the position we have declared to the world, and this is the essence of our initiative, which 165 countries have rallied behind. We are on the right side of history, and international legitimacy is on our side.

Fourthly: A word of free advice… Before you threaten and make threats, take a good look at the bigger picture. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia draws its strength first from God, then from its wise leaders throughout the centuries, from the founder King Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him, to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and on to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is leading this historic transformation, alongside its loyal people and all free people of the world. Rest assured that history proves that Riyadh has never bowed down, and will not bow down today.

In conclusion: history will remember those who led the world towards a just peace, and it will remember those who gambled on the language of threats and blackmail and lost the bet. Do not misjudge the situation… again.
