52·4 days agoI was going that seems well short a number from Russia, I then realised they did mention “documented” warcrimes. There would be so many more that are undocumented.
Tell them to fuck off, the funding we will source elsewhere. Will be painful but I would prefer short term pain then Australia being bullied into unwanted ideologies.
To be honest all the smart ones did see this coming from this idiotic administration. This is Trumps administration team we are talking about. Going back as far as the press conference at the Four Seasons Lawnscaping their ineptitude to even be thought as having any sort of credible capability was known.
81·22 days agoThe fact you don’t feel safe to protest is by far the most poignant point for me. Unless you are prepared to protest and be loud about it to stand up for your rights and the rights of others then they have won.
Throughout the history of the US, protests have been the one mechanism the public has had to voice their displeasure of the government. From Vietnam war, march on Washington for civil rights the protests have been what was needed for change.
Authoritarianism is not going to go away quietly or peacefully. So unless you want more of what you see then I urge you to protest and be proud and loud about your objection of the current administrations actions.
Edit: I will add it’s easy for someone like me to just say all of this, because being in another country I am not the one facing this. My point I am trying to make is that protests have been a tradition in the US and one that you will need to find strength to do if you really want change to happen.

I for one feel like we need to shift away from the US. Cut our losses on the AUKUS and position more closely with Canada, UK and New Zealand. Most of our trade is Japan, South Korea and Chine so makes sense if we even move closer to them as well. I would not be fussed either way as long as it was away from the US.
