@AndyKimNJ Yeah I hope the Iranians find him

As we wake up this weekend let’s remember that there is an American servicemember who might have survived a jet crash and spent all night alone hiding from Iranian forces searching for him. We must do all we can to rescue him.

It’s worth mentioning one point (again) about the Australian Government’s responses to Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. It is NOT a reluctant bystander which has been dragged into taking sides in a complex series of regional conflicts. In defiance of international law and public opinion in the country, Canberra went out of its way to support aggression and war crimes when it had the opportunity to do the opposite: to defend the rules, conventions and institutions of international society upon which, as a medium-sized power, it disproportionately depends. Despite the ominous economic reckoning we face today, the costs of supporting war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the US and Israel will not be felt immediately. However, in time Australia will reap the bitter harvest of a world made less safe and more volatile by its great and powerful ally across the Pacific and its closest friend in the Middle East. It will then be untrue and far too late to say that this country had no other choices. It did, as Spain, Norway, Denmark and many countries in Southeast Asia showed at the time. Or that Trump and Netanyahu were merely aberrations who would leave the stage in due course. Except for the most devout commissars and imperialists, no-one can be left in any doubt that from now on “Western civilisation” will be a euphemism across the globe for genocide, unprovoked warfare, ethnic cleansing and the illegal occupation of other peoples’ land. Australia’s political elites played their role in this catastrophe and should not be able to escape their responsibility for whatever darkness is to come.

Never ever forget that @SenatorWong refused to meet Francesca Albanese @FranceskAlbs when she came to Australia to warn against an inpending genocide in Gaza. Penny flew instead to Israel to have coffee with Herzog, the genocide enabler and @AlboMP later invited Herzog to Aust.

@Ostrov_A Iran has the right to defend itself

🚨 As you’re going about your day, hundreds of thousand of Israelis are racing to bomb shelter, after Iran just fired another barrage of missiles, including in Tel Aviv.

Logic of imperialist de-development laid bare. No U.S. war in the Global South is ever about liberating a people. It is always to stunt their development and stop the emergence of any sovereign power that can challenge the flow of imperialist rents from periphery to core

People are gonna be making memes about it man

One thing my dad told me when I was quite young is “the problem with Americans is they believe their own bullshit”

Claiming that "this waterway is a global public good" requires facing two questions: First, where was the EU when this "global public good" was available to everyone except Iran—a coastal country on the Strait of Hormuz? For years, Iran’s oil and trade were disrupted by the Americans through their unilateral and illegal maximum sanctions. Yet, Iran exercised self-restraint for decades; the EU noticed this but did not bother to reiterate that the Strait of Hormuz is a "global public good." Second, the flow is constrained by the aggression of the American and Israeli regimes, why then tout the EU’s Aspides naval mission instead of stopping the aggression itself?

Someone should tell Obama that the war on Iran will result in a left wing challenger winning a Democratic seat, then he’d speak out against it

Repeating the point I just made - the ruling class of the western world is standing in unison and pissing on our backs and telling us it’s raining, insisting that the straits are closed for no particular reason but Iranian “recklessness”. And no one in the media says shit

It’s very important that everyone see the disgraceful way these bootlicking imperial vassals behave and speak about an entirely unprovoked war of aggression their overlord started for no reason - repeatedly blaming the victim. Because they’re racist imperialists themselves

The U.S. and Israeli regimes have assassinated our leaders, killed schoolchildren, and attacked hospitals, universities, energy facilities, and desalination plants. They have now struck the Pasteur Vaccine Institute and key road bridges. They openly threaten to bomb our power infrastructure and “return Iran to the Stone Age.” It seems these realities do not reach Australian and EU officials, or they are unwilling to condemn them. Instead, they criticize Iran’s self-defense. The world and history will judge you. Do not stand on the side of Nazis.

Women in Tsarist regime had a literacy rate of only 13% In less than 50 years after Communism over 60% of engineers in Russia were women.

@SenatorWong @AnitaAnandMP Why is it being held hostage Penny

Ahead of tonight’s meeting with international counterparts, I spoke with @AnitaAnandMP about the conflict and its impact on global energy markets. We all want to see safe passage restored through the Strait of Hormuz and an end to it being held hostage by the Iranian regime.

Trump: We'll drag Iran back to the Stone Age Pahlavists: He means he wants to bring us freedom 🥹🙏🏻

The three fuckwits of the apocalypse

Albanese is going to address the nation tonight to encourage us all “to play our part” by saving fuel. How about you play YOUR part by immediately exiting this stupid, unjustifiable and unjust war so we don’t have to suffer the consequences of your foolish actions?

people simply love it when you storm out of the gates to support an illegal war, then lecture them about personal responsibility after it makes their lives worse

Stunning that one month ago European leaders were celebrating the killing of Ayatollah Kamenei and cheering on regime change. One month later they want us taking quick showers... x.com/POLITICOEurope…

Listen to him not say anything over and over again. No country with a US military base is actually sovereign
