I'd add...
Brave New World &
For Whom the Bell Tolls
to the list!

Buonanotte dalla King Valley.

Three horizontal frames. 1. Trump stands at one end of a long table set with tablecloth, food, plates, cutlery, wine, glasses. Netanyahu sits smiling at other end holding a glass of wine. Trump holding the tablecloth says, “Aaaand…” 2. Same set up, Trump has whipped the tablecloth out from under setting - sending the whole lot flying. “PRESTO!” Netanyahu still smiling. 3. Same scene but all the table setting has landed broken on the floor. Trump calls offstage “SOMEBODY COME AND CLEAN UP THIS MESS.” Netanyahu drinks his wine.

Party trick.

R'amen!

But Millei's in the back row, and no chainsaw, maybe he's not so keen after all!?

and yet Iran is a signatory to the NPT, whereas Israel has nuclear weapons but has refused to sign up & does not accept IAEA safeguards on its nuclear facilities 🤔🤔

He's an acolyte, trained and groomed by Richardson. Richo-lite!

Let the puppet show begin!

Ramen!

“As we have watched Israel’s pitiless destruction of Gaza, we have all learned that for both a large part of Israeli society and the Jewish diaspora the call to action is the morally and perhaps politically catastrophic: “Never Again, To Us”.”

A pro AUKUS special envoy, no less!

At the height of the cold war I lived in a UK industrial city that was a 2nd wave target & near a 1st strike target. We lived for the present! After all it was only a matter of time untill the missiles launched!!

Luckily sense & peace prevailed! I would not wish a return to those times on anyone!

Trump leaves 'door wide open' to nuclear arms race The last remaining nuclear arms pact between the United States and Russia has come to an end at a time of global instability.

"The last treaty limiting the nuclear arms of the United States and Russia expires this week, even as the US pressures Iran over its nuclear capabilities..."

It seems there is stupid and then there is mango stupid!

Can't help thinking that this is all about pushing the price of oil, to maximise the profits from Trump's stolen Venezuelan "investments"!

"Musk has stated that Optimus would be the “biggest product of all time” and said that the robots, along with autonomous vehicles, would usher in “a world where there is no poverty”."
How does he work that one out?🤔🤔

But Davos is in Grisons where the official language is Romansh, so many of the residents there speak at least 4 languages

If you went for a swim in a lake or river in Africa close to a pod of hippoes, & got killed by a hippo defending its territory or maybe by a croc looking for a meal, who's fault would it be? I doubt there would be calls for a cull!!

The whole interview was waffle and avoidance but interesting slip up when she referred to the yet to be announced new US ambassador as "he"!

Think of the bureaucratic efficuency. Scotty from Marketing could appoint himself ambassador to the US, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland and maybe Canada and Mexico all at the same time!

R'AMEN!

Don't tell Marles! He'll wet himself rushing to sign Aus up to the Trump invasion force

Thank you also! All the best to you too!

Agreed, but don't think I'll see it in my lifetime but I hope for my sons!¹

With the right strategies, invasion could be very unattractive. No food or water in the desert so supply lines would be critical targets.

Also, maybe, more of a political focus on mediation & co-operation, rather then nuclear attack submarines!?

Yes, I'm not suggesting copy the Swiss model exactly! But a non-aligned neutral country that is safe for investment & at the same time unattractive to invade, maybe?
We don't have the mountains to fill with ambush traps for a invading army but we do have a lot of desert!

Personally I think the Swiss model would be worth looking at, although, not sure Australians would be happy about compulsory defence force participation!
Quite a bit of resistance developing to it among the Swiss young these days!!

Unforunately, I think that would be the end of nato & inevitably plunge Europe back to a cold war scenario.

China does not tolerate foreign intervention within what it sees as its traditonal territory, including Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan & the Taiwan Straight, the South China Sea.
The principle antagonist in this regard is the US, and its allies...
Have Australians understood & agreed to the consequences?
