Amazing how so many in the MSM are falling over themselves to give credit to Trump for this 'ceasefire'. All claiming it wouldn't happen without him, never mind that the genocide was actually enabled by him in the first place.

Officer, I'd like to report the Albanese Cabinet for eroding the nation's social fabric through:
- pursuing close defence ties with an authoritarian power
- domestic policies that increase #inequality and undermine accountability, and
- failing to uphold international law on refugees and genocide.

Queensland government called out for 'not taking environment seriously'
The Queensland Conservation Council (QCC) has called out the LNP government for "not taking the environment seriously" with the number of flora and fauna species under threat on the rise.
A problem in Qld either side of the election has been a narrow focus on issues such as the "youth crime crisis" slogan which pushed any debate on things like the environment out of sight. Now all resources are being propelled into the Crisafulli Colosseum. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

This would literally be like giving Hitler the Nobel peace prize after Munich.
Trump is killing Venezuelan fishermen and violating the human rights of immigrants while trying to wage a war against blue cities.
So no, he doesnβt deserve the fucking Nobel peace prize.
