Albanese has sold his and our souls to drumpf. He had the chance to cancel aukus, but failed. Now we are in a war declared by a 34 times convicted fraudster and a 6 times bankrupt without political approval.

Is aukus really that bad?

We need to align ourselves with someone, and until recently the US is most closely aligned with our values. Also our heritage makes UK an ideal partner. I despise Trump, but perhaps the alliance will be more palatable after hes dead.

I dislike following the US into every war, but thats part of the deal really.

I think building some expertise around subs is a reasonably good direction.

Personally, I like the French and Canadians much more than the US and UK, but I think these types of alliances run pretty deep.

Seems like a bad deal from everything I’ve read. A very one sided deal too AFAICT. Mayyybe for the geopolitical reason of “we need to treat our big bully ally well or they won’t support us” but TBH I wouldn’t trust Trump helping as far as I can throw his fat orange arse.

It’s a technicality, but the war was started by the one with 1 count of bribery + 3 counts of fraud and breach of trust, who has blackmail on the one with 94 counts.

Other than this, let’s not forget how bad the people in Iran have it. So bad there were at least 20 Iranian people celebrating in Brisbane the day the Ayatollah was assassinated by the Board Of Peace.

I can find 20 gusanos celebrating when Raul Castro died. Meanwhile the millions of people who didn't flee Cuba are happy having education and healthcare.

Even if they were unhappy, white people really have to stop managing other countries. It is none of their business to interfere with the rest of the world.

Look at Nepal. Very little outside interference, they’re getting their shit together in their own way and pace.
