Trump has sent a wrecking ball through old alliances. The implications for Australia are severe In a world where Donald Trump doesn’t appear to know what AUKUS is, Australia can no longer rely on decades of friendship and shared values.

Seriously. It’s time to sink AUKUS. The writing is on the wall

Australians need to find peace & security with Asia, not against it as a foreign outpost of fading Anglosphere empires a world away

Poll: Trump a greater threat to world peace than Putin or Xi MoreΒ Australians consider US President Donald Trump a greater threat to world peace than Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping.

More Australians think Trump is the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader. @australiainstitute.org.au poll.

AUKUS was bad under Biden. Now it's mad.

Yanis Varoufakis on Europe's Betrayal – War, Austerity, Palestine and the Struggle for Peace
YouTube video by DiEM25 Yanis Varoufakis on Europe's Betrayal – War, Austerity, Palestine and the Struggle for Peace

"Europe’s dream of peace and justice is being crushed by war profiteers, austerity, and rising fascism." β€” @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social calls out EU leaders in Munich for complicity in war crimes in Palestine and exploitation in Ukraine.

It’s time to stand up and say: NEVER AGAIN, ANYWHERE.

It started under Morrison with the web of lies and deception underlying AUKUS and continues with Dutton on Gaza, aided and abbetted by the Murdoch media. Too bad people are not smart enough to see through it!

This really highlights the extent to which Labor has been wedged on foreign policy by the LNP, putting it in conflict with traditional Labor values.

you don't need to over think it. the guy boosts a far-right german party. he all but endorsed great replacement theory. he took over a platform and turned it into the home for online hate. he does the salute twice, but that really doesn't matter. we already know who he is

As an Aussie, my top level take is that Zuckerberg’s complete capitulation to Trump shows why we need domestic regulation of this stuff. The way we expect to be able to talk online shouldn’t shift based on who’s in the White House
