Australian Government cabinet papers from 30 years ago show that Australian leaders suspected that the claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were probably false. However, Australia committed troops because Australia wanted to ingratiate itself with the United States and was prepared to break international law to do so. This sets the standard for Australia’s willingness to co-operate with any Trump-led escalation of efforts to undermine China economy with tariffs and sanctions.

I honestly do not think Joe Biden ever had a chance to make sense of his four years as president. It is not merely his native stupidity, and Joseph R. Biden, Jr.’s  execrable record on the foreign side seems evidence enough that he is through and through, all-over stupid. This does not distinguish Biden among American presidents, after all. No, the matter to hand is larger. If you assume the task of running an empire and the empire has profligately abused the world’s once-considerable reservoir of goodwill, anyone short of a philosopher king was bound to fail as America’s No. 46.

When Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago, President Joe Biden set three objectives for the U.S. response. Ukraine’s victory was never among them. The phrase the White House used to describe its mission at the time—supporting Ukraine “for as long as it takes”—was intentionally vague. It also raised the question: As long as it takes to do what?

The middle-class is the mainstay of most human modern societies… it does not mind being ruled by whoever — democratic lunacy, despots, psychopathic decrees, tyrants, dictators and authoritarians — as long as the honest people of the honest middle-class can make a honest buck from a honest day of honest hard work. If the illusion of honesty unravels then the whole edifice of social cohesion, even peppered with amusing diversity, will collapse… Peace at home is often achieved by the rest of the world being on fire, but this is the honest privilege of ignorance of where moneys come from. 

ELON MUSK HAS BEEN PAINTED AS AN EXTREME-RIGHT WING SUPPORTER, BY THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA AND THE "CENTRE-RIGHT-WING" GOVERNMENTS OF THE "FREE WORLD"...

THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS UP IN ARMS ABOUT MUSK'S SUPPORT FOR THE AfD...

THE "FREE WORLD" ISN'T FREE, BUT HAS TO BE SUBSERVIENT TO THE AMERICAN EMPIRE WHICH APPEARS QUITE CONFUSED ABOUT ACHIEVING ITS WORLD DOMINATION GOAL, REGARDLESS OF WHO IS PRESIDENT... THIS IS THE DEEP STATE — THE VIRTUAL IDEAL CORE ENGINE OF THE EMPIRE, THAT INCLUDES THE DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA (SINCE 1917) AND CHINA (SINCE THE OPIUM WARS)....

THE COMPLICATIONS ARE DELIBERATE MANIPULATIONS OF OUR PERCEPTIONS.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN GERMANY, THE GREENS ARE RABID PRO-WAR. THE ULTRA-RIGHT-WING AfD IS AGAINST WAR... THE NEW LEFT WING IS ANTI-WAR, WHILE THE OLD LEFT-WING IS PRO-WAR.

MACRON (CENTRE-RIGHT) IN FRANCE IS PRO-WAR...

Donald J. Trump has taken his oath of office as the 47th president of the United States, administered by Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court John Roberts.

Trump was sworn in inside the US Capitol Rotunda, to the sounds of the presidential fanfare ‘Hail to the Chief’.

Moments earlier, Vice-President J.D. Vance took the oath of office as well, administered by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

In his inauguration speech, Trump said his election is a mandate to “completely and totally reverse” the “many betrayals that have taken place,” Trump said. “From this moment on, America’s decline is over.”

13 July 2023... Journalist: Minister, on the sidelines here, have you had the opportunity at all to rub shoulders with Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, and put Australia’s position to him on Ukraine?

MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF JOE'S MISMANAGEMENT OF THE AMERICAN NATION AND ITS FOREIGN POLICIES... NOT ONLY JOE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RUSSIA/YUCKRAINE CONFLICT, HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE SURE THIS "WAR" WOULD NEVER END.

THIS LED TO OVER ONE MILLION DEAD PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY TWO MILLION PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. HIS SUPPORT FOR ISRAHELL AND SUPPLY OF WEAPONIC HARDWARE LED TO A GENOCIDE BY A RABID NETANYAHU... ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, HIS FINGERPRINTS (THOSE OF HIS NASTY HELPERS — LLOYD AUSTIN, BLINKEN AND SULLIVAN PRINCIPALLY) ARE ALL OVER OTHER LITTLE CONFLICTS AND "ORANGE" REVOLUTIONS, AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC EVENTS IN MANY COUNTRIES...

The era of monolithic “Atlantic solidarity” is over, and Russia has been a major catalyst for this erosion. The United States has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the Ukraine crisis. Relations between Russia and Western Europe have been disrupted, energy infrastructure has been undermined, and the EU has been compelled to overpay Washington  for military and energy supplies. However, the Americans will derive limited benefit from a deep normalization of relations: ties with Moscow will remain distant, and the tools for pressuring its European NATO allies will weaken.

The Ukraine conflict is reshaping the global order: Here’s how
The crisis has benefited the US in the short term, but risks eventially severing transatlantic ties in the long run

Donald Trump’s second term may not be all bad for all nations, including and especially China. For many Chinese internet users, Trump’s policies have unwittingly strengthened their country. This is why he has earned the popular nickname “Chuan Jianguo,” which means “Make China Great.”

Trump’s first term made at least three notable contributions to China’s rise.

Dear Donald, I know that you are a great deal-maker, but you will be seen as even greater if you do as I suggest. Australia is already providing $4 billion to the United States under the AUKUS deal without any guarantee that Virginia class nuclear submarines will ever be provided to it. I suggest that this amount be doubled or even tripled to even $12 billion.

Europe's two most important economies will lack stable governments when Donald Trump assumes office as US president. Often called the twin engines of EU growth, they are hampered by huge economic and financial problems.

France and Germany falter as Donald Trump presidency looms

Long before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, the US president-elect threatened Europeans with high tariffs on their products, reduced support for Ukraine, and a reassessment of NATO's funding.

Donald Trump has “liberated” the country from the influence of the globalist mogul, forcing him to retreat to Europe, the Hungarian prime minister has said

US President-elect Donald Trump’s victory was a major defeat for activist billionaire George Soros and his allies in the Democratic Party, who sought to plunge America into a “gender frenzy,”Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.  

Speaking in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday, Orban accused the 94-year-old Hungarian-born philanthropist of maintaining a “large network” intertwined with the Democratic Party, claiming their efforts were focused on imposing globalist ideologies in a bid to further their economic interests.  

30 April 2024 — The Duchess of Edinburgh has become the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the Russian invasion.

On Monday she went on a one-day visit, on behalf of the Foreign Office, to "demonstrate solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war".

If Peter Dutton ever had a so-called “two-term strategy”, that strategy disappeared on Sunday when he soft-launched his election campaign in the Victorian seat of Chisholm.

No longer was he accepting that the Albanese government would likely win a second term. There was no hint of the strategy some have identified, where the Coalition would focus on Queensland and the regions this election before recapturing city seats in the next cycle. He was going for it all in one.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has shifted his campaign strategy to again involve the teal electorates, although moderates in the party say he is still using ‘the Trump playbook’.
