I love the way Laura develops & extends her metaphor of military parades over the ages, culminating in anti-parade:
“The US may have 50,000 troops and all sorts of overwhelming hardware on a parade of sorts in the Middle East.

“But it's not much help if you can't land it anywhere. And the risks of using it have become part of the war of words about this conflict.”

i really don't know how the wondrous #LaTingle withstands it!

her "beat" is nothing but wall to wall arseholery & shitfuckery perpetrated by the worst humans, with squillions of victims. i mostly can't even read & watch anymore, so overwhelmingly ghastly it all is, but she's amongst it! 🥺
Iran daily briefing: Details on Iran's 14-point peace plan, and what else you should know now

Iran gives the US a 30-day deadline on its counteroffer for peace, which does not mention its nuclear ambitions.

reading #LaTingle's characteristically incisive & succinct https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-14/united-states-iran-war-donald-trump-middle-east-strategy/106436200, amongst my many thoughts prolly one of the loudest, most geo-strategically transformational, is simply...

The US is no longer directing the war against Iran

If there ever was a strategy behind Donald Trump's decision to blow up the Middle East, it is lying in tatters as the second week of the Iran war draws to a close.

#latingle is perfectly correct, as usual. #AUKUS is, as it always has been, an expensive white elephant that will never be able to be delivered, but continues to delay the obvious choice - the French subs that we ordered, but perversely decided to convert to older, less suitable diesel. #auspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-06/china-aukus-united-states-xi-jinping/105720442
China's parade of military might raises big questions about the AUKUS muddle

China's display of an array of naval weaponry and assets, as opposed to land-based ones, could hardly have been less subtle.

Does anyone know where Laura Tingle has gotten too? Her Twitter account no longer exists. I've read she has covid.

This feels like tossing a message in a bottle, but here goes anyway.

#latingle, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
