Looking at a map, USA strategic considerations have Trump needing to invade Australia.

Geopolitical benefits:
Control of south west Pacific Ocean
Control of south east Indian Ocean
Control of AU area of Southern Ocean and AU Antarctica
Exert pressure into S E. Asia, especially onto division created by Malay Peninsular of China from Thailand & India & Oil States

Much better than Greenland

I edited @cathywilcox cartoon, just a smidge.

Not hearing nations' leaders invoking an "international rules based order".

There are three superpowers that have no need of IRBO.

Every other nation is either a vassal state to a superpower or dependent on IRBO.

The silence about IRBO tells me they know that Trump is running amok and that hiding in the briar patch is the safest strategy.

How did Watership Down turn out?

Reading the hasbara bullshit spin on the ethnic cleansing crime against humanity in Gaza by Israel.

Seriously though, this #Genocide is destroying the legitimacy of the #InternationalRulesBasedOrder.
Too many former upholders of that order are right now participating directly in the killings by supplying bombs and intelligence. And even more are complicit by not making proportionate response.

If you get to vote again, remember this.

Saw #RichardMarles #Australia's Defence Minister, on ABC TV with #PatriciaKarvelas.

He invoked the #InternationalRulesBasedOrder on the defence of #Ukraine and the Asia-Pacific region.

This #Labor politician pretended #Israel's ongoing #WarCrimes, #CrimesAgainstHumanity and #Genocide in #Gaza has nothing to do with that rules based order.
By doing so he weakens the international rules-based order - it is NOT for #SelectiveApplication.
He and the #Albanese government are #GenocideComplicit.
