I think it is well past time we placed OUR cards on the table. It's time to tell Trump and the US to go f"*K itself, to find someone else to be it's Patsy.
Like Trump said, "it may be painful for a while", but in the long term, we can work towards supporting ourselves

We jointly patrol the China sea, around Japan and Korea with the US.
Besides Canada, I doubt if any country has been as close an ally with the US.
They have, well the Trump government has disregarded everything.

Cancel AUKUS, source everything from Canada, Mexico and Europe.

Australia blindly followed the US into the Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We have Pine Gap and an array of telescopes which give the US military and space programs, it's only real "eyes"

Trump, who wants to become a dictator, answerable to no-one except himself.
Personally, I believe that there is a much darker more sinister force at work manipulating him.

The three component method of governance, as designed by the authors of the constitution of the United States.
The executive branch, the representative branch and the legal system have managed to serve the people for over 200 years. It has been respected by EVERY president except one.

#InvasionDay
Happy English Day everyone.
Today is the day that a lot of people celebrate the English invasion of yet another country, we celebrate the dispossession of land, the enslavement of people, the theft of land and resources for the enrichment of the English.

One was used for cleaning products and one was used for automotive cleaning products. Most big brands bought our base detergent, coloured it, added fragrance etc and sold it as their unique product. It was an industrial estate.

I'm at Rhodes in Sydney Australia. I used to work here about 40 years ago in a chemical factory. We made 3 different products which I used to deliver to different companies. It was a detergent base. One was used for human products, shampoo, body wash etc.

It's about gallantry, chivalry, about putting others before self. It's about MANING UP. It's about being able to accept your mistakes, it's about making a difference.
It's about being the bigger person.

They aren't talking "masculine", they have no idea what masculine even means. Masculinity is something that I am proud to have, I learnt it from my father. Masculinity is about respect, it's about protection, it's about being willing to risk your life for your family, your partner.
