US President Donald Trump has today singled out Australia for not rushing to jump up on his lap like a good little dog.
Fresh off the back of lashing NATO allies for not joining the war, that he doesn't need their help with anyway, the highly rational and unemotional man in charge of fucking up the world right now has blasted Australia.
The US President has criticised Australia for not sending help to the Straight of Hormuz, to try and pick up the pieces from his hare brained decision to start another massive regional conflict that shows now signs of ending.
He's now threatening Iran with total destruction if they don't accept his 15 point peace plan, after backing down on his threat of total destruction if they didn't open the Strait of Hormuz.
Given the US's supposed ability to totally destroy Iran and the fabric of the global order, it's yet to really explained why we are dogs for not getting fully invested in America's war that we should have absolutely fucking to do with.
The steering clear comes after 5 or 6 decades of Australia blindly joining America's wars, like the big one in Vietnam that the big tough guy in charge of America couldn't actually make cause he had really sore bone spurs :(
"Yeah not sure why he's so angry about us not going to war, given that that bloke did everything he could to avoid going himself," said one local Australian at the Betoota Heights Shopping Centre Return and Earn this morning.
"Fucking drop nuts."
More to come.

merka, the home of unconstrained capitalism, the greatest cuntery on earth, where the dollar reigns supreme, & naysayers can go get fucked.
https://www.propublica.org/article/oklahoma-oil-polluted-drinking-water-boarman-family
Oklahoma has around 130,000 private water wells, essentially straws that drink from shallow groundwater reserves with minimal filtration, increasing the risk of contamination. That’s because after pulling huge profits from the earth, Oklahoma oil companies left behind tens of thousands of unplugged wells that belch greenhouse gases and allow industrial waste to spread below ground. The state has some of the nation’s weakest regulations pertaining to industry cleanup of old wells.
the full article is pure horror on legs, yet not atypical of several i've read over the years, about that terrible nation.

Salty, Oily Drinking Water Left Sores in Their Mouths. Oklahoma Refused to Find Out Why.
State regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water. But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case.
Guardian Essential poll: only a quarter of Australians approve of US-Israel war on Iran

Clay NoblesJust so i understand this, blocking the strait of Hormuz is unfair, but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country, is fair, did I get that right🤔

At the ripe old age of 97, the death of the Cold War espionage writer, Len Deighton, just days ago, came as a different kind of shock.
News of his passing felt somehow subsidiary to a bigger revelation - until last week, Deighton had still been among us.
You knew with John le Carre because he had continued publishing. His last title, Silverview, was released posthumously in 2021.
Deighton, though, the breakthrough author of the Ipcress File (1962), among many, had stopped writing spy fiction three decades ago, retreating to quietude. Apparently, he took a holiday and decided he liked it.
Fame wasn't his thing. He was everything Donald Trump isn't. Talented, studious, restrained, and impeccably subtle.
These qualities infused his characters - espionage being a secret, thankless business - ruthlessly so. It despises headlines and shuns recognition of any kind. Deighton leaned into that (mostly) observing once that nothing destroys a writer like praise.
His work evinced his principles, too. He had what these days would be an unfashionable distaste for violence and decided it would only appear in his stories where required and never as the answer to his characters' problems.
Both authors wrote about human beings by juxtaposing their quotidian struggles with relationships and secrecy and bureaucracy, against big forces, genuine personal danger and crippling moral choices.
Each author knew that the space between their paragraphs was vital - it was where the reader did their end of the work. This, too, matched the atmosphere and tradecraft central to the spy genre where information was invariably thin, dubious and old.
In hindsight we can see the period, both in its fictional evocation and in its history, as marked by profound existential peril, balanced off, albeit, by a useful degree of inertia.
Fractious Cold War crises (Berlin Wall, 1961, Cuban Missile Crisis 1962) were survived through reluctance, back-channel diplomacy, self-preservation and luck.
It was an era when what "could" happen was both known and unthinkable.
Compare that to today when the "unthinkable" is so quickly superseded by the unthought-through.
Again, we live in time of deep global instability and portentous violence.
Gone now though is the institutional inertia. It's been replaced by impulsiveness and the preference for shallow stagecraft over longer-term statecraft.
Or, as recent UK secretary of state for defence Ben Wallace wrote midweek in Britain's The Telegraph, "This is what you get when a superpower with the most powerful armed forces in the world, is run by a collection of TV pundits and golf buddies: pure chaos".
The former Tory minister and ex-British Army officer also observed that one didn't need to be a defence expert to predict what Iran would do when attacked.
"Iran's leaders have always played the only three cards they hold: proxies, hostage taking, and shutting down the Strait of Hormuz."
People who have seen combat tend to know a dud plan when they see one, even if Australia's political class has been blind to it.
It took another plain-speaking ex-commando MP to break ranks, skewering a Trump social media rant against Australia and others for not joining his escapade.
"I thought it was a petulant post from a president under immense pressure," Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie told the ABC.
"Yesterday, he said he didn't expect the Strait of Hormuz to be closed for this long - well, as I like to quote Mike Tyson, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face".
I've often wondered what the great historical fiction writers of the Cold War and the lead-up to World War II, would make of the belligerent miscalculations reshaping the world currently.
How would they render the craven appeasement of a lawless US by its allies? How would they characterise the willingness of longstanding democracies to accommodate the aggressive right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu and its extraordinary sway over the Trump White House?
Among the greatest of these writers is the Jewish American Francophile, Alan Furst, 85, whose unfailingly human novels occur against the backdrop of a Europe succumbing to fascism and war. Furst's characters read the signs of German militarisation and see the writing on the wall as Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland and Hungary are incorporated, overrun, or captured by local fascists.
Furst's ordinary heroes take huge risks in smuggling downed airmen back to Britain or obtaining fragmentary intel about German armaments manufacture - tiny scraps of information such as the production orders of a particular aviation wire or what grade of gun oil is being issued to Wehrmacht divisions. The former to guess at the number of bombers being built, the latter to determine if weapons are being prepared to operate in an invasion of France or the frozen East.
Underneath such story lines, runs a truth so present as to never require mention - that democracy and tolerance and culture and human rights offer the only way forward.
Of course, we know where Europe's journey led. But what about now? If the US didn't countenance a regionalised war, the closure of a vital sea lane, and a calamitous oil shock, what hope the rest of us?
And don't forget, before calling NATO allies "cowards," Trump announced he would have the honour of "taking Cuba". You wouldn't read about it.
