Still super popular here in Australia

As Warrwn Bufffet said, tarrifs are an act of war.

Its alwys thus, freeze oeach for me not thee. It’s just “right wing woke” (shortened to wank) for hate speech.

Indeed and the US had lumped in nations who they would have previously called friends and fucked them as well.

Short term lots of nations will feel some.pain, longher term of China plays it’s cards right, the US continues it’s slide into irrelevance.

As an Australian i hope we pivot to Europe and build stronger relationships there but we have a long tradition of our tongue being stuck firmly up the arsehole of the US.

The US prenteded to be Australia’s ally and friend, China is just another country who happens to be a great customer and that should be recognised but that’s about it.

I’d pivot away from the US and try and forge better and closer alliances (more like we have with NZ) with places, The EU, Canada, Japan for tradr and defence but theres no warm embrace with China.

As an Australian I’ve long been a Green voter and their policy has been arms length from the US (and China)

That the US treats us with disdain has been obvious for decades.

Hopefully they have kill switches built into their machines and can turn them off if needed?.

ASML is literally the piviot on which the entire tech world balances.

It’s already hapoened in the US.

I had long hoped that the EU woukd be the last bastion against hate but alas, it to is embracing it with wide open arms and a goofy smile.

Australia led the toxicity decades ago and that hate and vitriol has spread across the globe. If there is one thing we humans seem to have in common its hate towards those in need and minorities.

well before the midterms when he losses his majority.

Seems to be board suooort for thsi shitstain and his acolytes and hes making voting much harder

The story i saw on Reddit nacknin the day explained how during her first electoral campaign her "supporters " literally attacked the wife of the D politcans, she was so scared she left the state.

He was also ininimidated and attacked of I recall correctly. No one to wants to be invoked with nutcases who put their partner in danger but that’s how the nazis win.

It reminds the rest of us there are sane American’s, so thank you Mr Vance for that.

They won’t, they’re immensely supportiv"

I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. .-- John Stuart Mille

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

No, we let then in, they’ve already won, they even have war bases here that Australian federal politcans are not allowed to visit.

Personally I’d rather China took over, at least we’d get decent railways.

Have you seen the Governembt NZ elected and what they’re doing to the Treaty ?

While as an Aussie who mostly agrees Australia is a conservative ass backwards shit hole, it would appear NZ is now aspirationaly Australia.
