Countries like Australia are Floating the idea of Recognizing Palestine to push Peace

 

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has taken Australian policy a modest step towards embracing recognition of a Palestine state ahead of a two-state solution, as a pathway to a lasting Middle East peace.

“At the same time, [Opposition Leader Peter] Dutton reflexively dismisses concern for Palestinians as ‘Hamas sympathising’. On this, and in his approach to the world, Mr Dutton needs to decide if he wants to be a leader in difficult times – or if he wants to continue being a wrecking ball, making those times even more difficult.”

Australia is addicted to fighting other people’s wars – Pearls and Irritations

Five Eyes concept. United Kingdom – United States of America Agreement. Elements of this image furnished by NASA. 3D rendering.

History forgotten, Losers in past conflict, Vietnam, Aghanistan, Iraq, Syria,

How do we explain that half the Australian community thinks we should go to war with China? After twenty years of conflict in the Middle East, will our addiction to war and our insouciance about its consequences finally catch up with us in an American war over Taiwan?

The Fatal Flaw in Donald Trump’s Claims of Executive Privilege | Washington Monthly

Delay and threat have always been Trump’s strategy never right, wrong or justice. Simply what it is he can gain and seem a winner. It’s been the same since puberty. As long as he could outlast paying fully for the negative consequences of his actions till his inevitable death he’d be somewhat satisfied,and he’s paid and not paid others to assist to do that to date. So is that a “Fatal Flaw” that he really doesn’t care about his legacy? Only that he can continue to outlast and avoid the consequences of his actions now and see what he can  continue to get away with now? Fame and noteriety his sufficient reward. Yes, its always only been about the ratings.

As we have seen before, the purpose of litigation by Trump and his associates in resisting congressional oversight seems to lie more in the capacity for delay than in the hope of legal vindication. Delay might be the inevitable by-product of Trump’s litigation strategy now. Ultimately, however, Congress should get hold of the documentation it seeks concerning Trump’s involvement in the events of January 6. As Trump—aided and abetted by his acolytes—persists in purveying his election fraud lies, fidelity to the Constitution requires that Congress and the public get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about January 6.

The most ruthlessly honest president of modern times: a thousand days of Trump

President Donald Trump on Wednesday, his 1000th day in office.

Ch9 has taken over The AGE and we get Goebellian banners like this thrust in our faces. !4,000 fact checked lies since Trump took offce and I suuggest that’s being kind and our Age declares an American cross between Hitler and Mussolini as being “Brutally Honest”. Ch9 is set on outdoing Murdoch Media it seems. Tomorrow we’ll see editorials the racining is suffering badly for the lack of abbottoirs and Morrisson really is a working classman. Australia we’d all be wastage if it weren’t foe the ABC. Walpole’s irony escapes us all. (ODT)

Taking all this into account – most especially, what this pattern means in terms of Trump governing as he promised to do when he campaigned in 2016 – Trump has been the most ruthlessly honest president in modern times.

Which is why his base loves him.
