      Fellow Canuckian, you’re forgetting the rest of his global-alliance:

      Trump, Putin, Orban, Assad ( no-longer-acting, but still ), Millei, Farage++ in England, Le Pen & friends in France, iirc, the AfD in Germany, that creep we’ve got in Canada heading the federal-right, etc ( the guy is in the spiritual-dimension a creep: I consider that to be observable-fact, & that belief is my opinion, that’s all, & NO-one has any obligation to agree with my opinion, here or anywhere.

      https://overtheedge.unbc.ca/7-reasons-to-be-afraid-of-pierre-poilievre-the-new-conservative-party-leader/ )

      ALL our countries are highjackable…

      Gaslighting ourselves about representative-republic somehow being “democracy” was a BAD idea.

      Letting moneyarchy form an alliance with all the political-parties to highjack-from-the-citizenry all our countries was … even moar worser.

      None of our countries are “safe” in this-decade’s fight, & it’d be best if we realize that, deeply, all of us…

      Acting on Hopium, as the US Democrats did ( along with Biden sabotaging Harris’s chance ), … we don’t want the same results, do we?!

      Objective-realism’s time has come.

      “Big Bro” USA is weak and has been for a long time.

      “Lil bro” Australia is just clocking what’s been true for a long time now.

      Australia looking at the US:

      It’s also just prudence when it comes to the allegiance. If America is going to let a much smaller, less powerful ally get invaded and their idea of a “deal” to end the conflict is to cut off all aid to the ally and give the invaders everything they want, then the allegiance amounts to toilet paper. There’s no sense breaking your back to maintain a relationship with an ally who is going to give you nothing but dishonor and cowardice in your time of need.

      He’ll never tolerate himself to lose-power, but he will die, in the 2030’s, so there’s that, I guess…

      ( the US authority-machine will spare ZERO expense keeping him alive, against anything, until then.

      It’s loyalty is to ANYbody, including the ur-demon itself, so long as they’ve got established-presidential-authority.

      I’d read that Trump wouldn’t vow, not on the bible, not on anything.

      IF that is true, THEN he isn’t even legally president.

      Doesn’t matter, anymore, though, does it?

      The “post-constitution America” that his people were openly discussing, now is. )

        If I recall correctly, Trump had his hand on no book at all during his vows this inauguration. (Too lazy tp find the pic). Isn’t that legally significant? Not that anything at all seems to matter in that respect anymore…

    US has been nobody’s ally since 2016…except Israel. The quicker the rest of “the west” realizes this, the better they will be.

    So uh… that whole swap deal they did from France to the US with their sub program is starting to look a tad dubious now. The Marine Nationale should give the Australians another call.
