I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Makes you wonder (or might make John Monash wonder) what calibre of foreign or local student lost out on a place at university so this worthless placeholder of a person could score an Australian junket.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
It must be so weird to be a right wing guy that thought you were supposed to hate pedophiles and war with Iran and now you’ve just learned that to remain in the group you need to love pedophiles and war with Iran.
Makes sense in a rational world, but I'll wager that he'll stay in the game to prop up his narcissist visibility and exercise his remaining leverage against the KMT.
Jiangshi 殭屍, more like.
LOLOL
On these numbers, the TPP can be formally declared a KMT splinter party.
This Reuters report is so wretched and obviously beaten up with little content at hand that the lede is delayed until the *final paragraph* ... and the "official" source is nameless. Utter junk.
In a situation now where it takes longer to buy something at 7-Eleven with a smartphone than cash as customers line up ghost rewards. The whole digital economy thing is selling us a bill of goods.
Less confusion. Good.
The GACC is to become the NCAT (National Cultural Association of Taiwan).
As a public service, I’d like everyone to know that you are still *legally allowed* to say these 14 factual things about General Q aka Mike Flynn.
You’re welcome.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
Turton actually offers Cunningham some praise here – faint praise – then damns him with it all the way to hell.
Where do these think tanks/academic islets find these people?
Tâi-oân sī Tâi-oân.

The Australian self-image, at least of the broad majority, invests a lot in the larrikin of old, but the reality (as pointed out elsewhere) is that Australians are remarkably tolerant toward state coercion when visited on people we disapprove of.

And...to think of all those dainty little progressives whining about the US having beneficial sovereignty over Australians.
Well, here is a FIFA subsidiary and PRC vassal ordering Australian police to shut down free speech of Taiwanese and Taiwanese Aussies.
Their silence will deafen.
THIS THIS THIS
Then again, Japanese police have always treated their own with more respect than my super-sized convict brethren treat ordinary Australians.
The other question might be: How can a country that draws on the hard work, intelligence and civility of people from around the world be so fucking stupid and consistently bereft of conscience?
It's as if acknowledgement of traditional owners allows these cretins to cast aside all other propriety.
On a more serious note, imagine the treatment Taiwanese Australians will receive from Australian "security" forces and law "enforcement" if they dare object to Chinese violence, let alone a military incident.
China's diplomats will be sculling the Maotai tonight.
We're doing it to ourselves.
Also, being Australia, the poor Taiwanese chap was without doubt escorted out of the stadium by security and police in all of their multicultural, tattooed splendour.
Fuck-knuckles in every direction. Cry, my beloved country.
At the same time, kudos to The Guardian for running this story.
Next up: Albo and Penny Wong vigorously look the other way.
Cowards all.
Predictable but absolutely fucking disgraceful on the part of Australia's bovine security and police. What a pack of contemptible morons.
An outrage, but precisely the destination of where things have been heading for years.
Tankies and China-leaning lefties wake the hell up. This is cultural and linguistic destruction, targeting all non-ethnic majority, non-Mandarin Han cultures and languages as well as every minority nationality.
This is a superb review of the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty by 3 writers with longstanding expertise and experience.

This appears to be be the documents. Looks like BS.
