Re: [Global Politics] Global politics 2024/2025

While President Trump has called for a reduction in the world's nuclear arsenal, Europe is seeking to emulate the American nuclear umbrella for the entirety of Europe. This would involve a massive increase in European nuclear weapons, potentially threefold or more, plus the dissemination of weapons ...

Re: [Australian Politics] Federal Election 2025

While election polls always sway left and right by a couple of percentage points—providing enough excitement for political journalists and commentators to get worked up—the broader message is being missed. That message is this: voters are unimpressed with both sides of politics, as neither side has o ...

Re: [European Politics] Russia

Not only are Europe and NATO members highly fractured in their positions on the issue of Russia, but the UK and those supporting any 'Coalition of the Willing,' as they're calling it, are playing a very dangerous game if they seriously believe Russia will allow European troops to be permanently ...

Re: [Global Politics] Global politics 2024/2025

Democracy and capitalism are failed experiments. They're broken by design, by being completely and systemically fixed. The question now becomes, where do we go from here? Do we surround the government, force the dissolution of the system through total anarchy, cleansing the bureaucracy to start anew ...

Re: [UK Politics] UK politics general

Now, this sounds like a terrible idea: stopping payments to the disabled and mentally ill to save money, with the hope that forcing them into poverty will push them into the workforce. We know that isn’t going to happen. It stops at poverty. What has happened to Britain? https://www.thetimes.com/uk/p ...

Re: [Australian Politics] Australian Politics

I've continued to say we need a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the pandemic response. Politicians, bureaucrats, and MSM need to be held accountable for the fear porn and panic they disseminated, which was never supported by facts or empirical evidence. In fact, it ran completely contrary to what ...

Re: [US Politics] US politics general

There's a lot to digest from this; however, one aspect that seems to be ignored is that of inherent American arrogance. It's an aspect that Americans are blind to—and you can probably forgive them for that—as they don't understand why the world is becoming so angry at them. For decades after WWII, th ...

Re: [Australian Politics] Australian Politics

The only reason this upsets Australia is that it has now become indisputably clear that Australia's sovereignty is under immediate threat, as the US, under the Trump Administration, is quickly abandoning globalism in both trade and defense. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/the-time-for ...

Re: [Australian Politics] Australian Politics

It doesn't matter what the Australian Government did; it was never going to get an exemption on tariffs.

Re: [Australian Politics] Australian Politics

What is it going to take for Australians to understand and accept just how broken the two-party system is? It has failed. I remain totally perplexed that even prominent political journalists and commentators are surprised we're facing another federal election, which will further embed the green-left ...
