That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

After watching the two-year Gazan Genocide on TV that was added onto 80+ years of being starved and shot at like fish in a barrel, the Iranians would know what happens to you if you rise up to overthrow a terrorist overlord, wouldn't they?

We called these strikes illegal because they are. Pete Hegseth admitted today they are not seeking to comply with international law and in fact they view it with contempt!

Pretty sure the Iranian people watched the Gazan Genocide on TV, aren't you? They know what happens.

David Shoebridge responded to Albanese, saying,

β€œNo one believes that Donald Trump is engaged in this war on the side of the Iranian people for democracy and human rights.

Donald Trump isn’t on the side of democracy and human rights in the United States, yet alone in Iran”.

"'You may not like Iran, you may not like what it does, but that doesn’t justify an aggressive armed attack on Iran.'"

"[University of Sydney professor and United Nations special rapporteur Ben] Saul said countries like Australia and Canada should be pushing the US to respect international law."

seems Trump is going to be in Iran for as long as it takes.

if they really held to this, though, why couldn't they cut Kerry and Jamie Packer down to size? I thought felling tall poppies was another Aussie thing

ℹ️One of Australia's most treasured values was its absolute disdain for someone who was/is "a big noter" (US can refer to Truth Social). Is it now a thing of the past?
Explainer: In AU slang, a "big noter" is a braggart or someone who is full of themselves, often using money to impress others.

And yes, the Iranian regime is violent and oppressive, and yet, I believe that the US/Israel/West’s intentions are not benign and it is naive and ahistorical to believe otherwise

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: β€˜your leaders aren’t right for you,’ β€˜we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Western governments, including Australia and New Zealand, have backed US and Israeli strikes on Iran. But the decision risks economic catastrophe, regional escalation and the further erosion of international law.
